court OATH SEEMS NO MORE
SERIOUS Than LOVERS VOW

The history of the oath admins
Atered to witnesses is an ancient
joke.
Every day in the police court
men perjure themselves. They raise
their right hands and swear to tell
the truth, then sit down in the wit
ness chair and deliberately lie.
Everybody knows they are lying
and nobody pays much attention
to 1t.
The plainest proof of this is
that in almost every case the tes-
timony of the complainant and that
of the accused is contradictory. 1t
follows then that one must. have
lied and is guilty of perjury. Only
the constant observer realizes how
general this is and that with the
average man who is brought into
court the oath is not more serious
than lovers VOW. They take it
as sort Of meaningless formality,
a joke on the one who eventually
gets the worst Of it.
Strange to say, those who hear
the perjury do not consider it a
special lie, SO general has the GUS
tom become under the teaching of
clever lawyers. The court seldom
accuses man of lying and con-
victs him of perjury. 1t is taken
for granted that anybody will lie
If he thinks he can do it without
getting caught.
The savant says that the oath
Is not abused in foreign countries
as it Is here.
1t may be due to this abuse that
policemen cannot attribute good in
tentions to anybody, and before him
everybody is crook. Convictions
for perjury seem to be no longer
the fashion. 1t Is not la mode
nowadays and when men tell the
truth they are seldom believed.
The case of the bully and brag-
CART is an ideal example of the
ordinary perjury which surprises
no one.
He struts around the narrow
world like colossus with uncon-
scionable strides and bubbling with
gasconade, until feather knocks
him down. He has a bulldog jaw,
little eyes and forehead which
SHES back an at acute angle, and
this is what he says to the Judge
when arraigned for beating up
some harmless person:
me, hit man, your honor?
Why, wouldn't hurt fly. never
been in a fight in me life, and
when a man says fight to me just
tells him l amt that kind of a
!, man, and that's the end of it. Did

GREAT fRObEMS BEFORE LABOR
IN BIG CONVENTION At TORONTO

Gonpers, Mitchell and Morrison
have been pronounced guilty of
contempt of court, to the highest
judicial tribunal. This was the de-
cisiDn of the Denver convention of
the American Federation of Labor
a year ago, and will be the deci-
sion at Toronto.
The action OF the court of ap-
peals last week in affirming Judge
Wright's sentence has stirred the
whole labor world into action. If
the labOrites lose in the United
States supreme court they will ap-
peal to the country-in fact, they
are doing so now-and the powers
claimed by the judiciary may be
forced to the front as a dominant
political issue.
AS in previous conventions, the
political question is sure to play a
leading part. Up to two years ago

bully puffs with satisfaction, He
Is hero.
Upon this subject Judge Mann
Of the police court said:
Although we know that these
men, in many instances, are lying,
perjuring themselves, there is
nothing to do about it except use
good judgment an dtry to find
which is the guilty person. In
most cases it is impossible to prove
absolutely which is lying as there
is nothing but the word of one
faction against the other, but the
lying factions usually convict them.

princes to have the bills relating to
their services in the army adopted,
the chamber of deputies today without
discussion voted the bills abolishing
the right OF the crown prince to hold
the position Of commander-in-chief
and Of the other princes to hold mill
tary commands.
Another Step In Revolution.
The adoption of the military reform
bills wells another step in the military
revolution, which yet may involve the
abdication Of King George.
It is understood that his majesty
feels acutely his abandonment by the
great powers in the matter Of Greece's
aspirations for the annexation of Crete
and has seriously considered the pos
sibility of being compelled to abdicate
as an outcome of the disappointment
of his people.
Thursday night the deputies appear.
ed to be in favor Of rejecting the mill
tary bills, but the members Of the or
ficers' league warned the chamber of
the dangers which would result from
such rejection, and the bills passed
the first reading.
Yesterday King George, who has
been living in retirement at Tatol
since the recent military movement.
on being informed of the possibility
of another revolutionary move, drove
in an automobile to the capital and in
structed his three sons formally to
resign their army commissions.
This done King George summoned
Premier Mavromichalis to the palace
and informed him that he had per-
suaded his sons to resign because he
was reluctant to permit the chamber
of deputies to suffer at the hands of
the military revolutionists for its 10y
atty to the crown.
The chamber OF deputies met at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. A pain
full silence followed the premier's an
nouncement Of the decision Of the
princes and thirty loyalist members
arose and quilted the house. The
chamber then voted the bills.
King Georges unexpected act Of
and the fact that the
chamber now is completely dominated
by the officers league is regarded in
many quarters as being incompatible
with his majesty's dignity and his re-
tention of the throne
Crown Prince Constantine held the
position of commander-in-chief of the
Grecian army; Prince Andrew was a
captain in the Grecian cavalry, and
Prince Christopher a sub-lieutenant in
the infantry.
