AFTER

Yet this distinction Ia not possible
among men OF the incest ethical
sensibilities. They know that the
higher the standards OF business.
they make, the easier, the more sat
isfactory and remuneratiye will
every phase OF business become.
This distinction between honor
and honesty makes 1t possible for a
man to use poo materials In his
canned goods, doctor 1t with chem
icals and mark 1t "pure"-because
he uses # 1nesty7 In the trade sense.
No a would call him honorable.
As between himself and his friends
and family. he frankly says that the
honor standard is impractIcab1e.
He makes an Oriental distinction
between the claims the stranger
world of business has upon him and
the claims Of those with whom he
comes In personal. Intimate contact.
Is 1t not the ethical distinction that
the lawyer, the physician and the
priest urge as the reason why the
law, medicine and religion must
maintain different standards OF
practice from business?
But this Is a conditions q mat
ter OF good business principle,
should there be such {. distinction2

Honor or Honesty-Which.

great triumphs for common honesty.
These two systems "workEthey

fuges FOR dishonoraDle things.

ELIMINATING A DANGER SPOT

ELIMINATING A DANGER SPOT.
Without a doubt one OF the most
important works vet to be taken up
by the Board OF Freeholders is the
plan to eliminate the dangerous
curve at Morgan. Those who travel
on the road between here and the
shore know of this as one of the
most dangerous places in the state.
In fact we do rot believe q wors
spot can be found anywhere In the
country than at this particular
point. The curve Ia at the foot of
the hill. The road is entirely hid
den from view and is very narrow.
1t Is next to impossible for two au-
tomobiles to pass at this point and
If they should happen to meet there,
a collision is almost unavoidable.
The freeholders have been work
Ing for some time abolishing dam
gerous spots throughout the county.
but 1t seems they have left the worst
until last. We are now assured
that the work is soon to begin. At
the meeting of the freeholders
Thursday afternoon plans for o new
road were accepted, and the board
will meet Monday TO advertise for
bids for the improvements.
This. we understand. will also
eliminate a dangerous railroad
crossing at grade at that point. 1t
is to be hoped that this work "a be
pushed rapidly enough to have 1t
completed In time for the heavy
traffic next year.
