A liar is a man who is not on speaking
terms with the truth.
There are various kinds Of liars. Some
are accidental, some occasional. some are
born liars. and some are liars by profess
sion. Some liars are harmless as doves,
and some make rattlesnakes seem pleas
ant by comparison
In the South a liar is more fatal than
spinal meningitis. 1t is necessary for
him to shoot every one who calls him by
his real name This does not improve his
yeracity. but is great for the ammunition
business.
King David once said in his haste that
all men were liars. There Is no record
that he ever took this back on second
thought.
Some men lie for amusement, ike
fishermen; some for business. like stock
promoters; some for meanness, like gos-
sips. and some for charity. like men who
pay compliments to middle-aged ladies.
II IL were not for liars society would ne
f,r.s of hard feelings, and very few young
ladies' would pursue their studies inVocai
or instrumental music.
1t was liars who first made the settle
ment of America possible. II the ex-
piorers who landed along the Atlantic
coast had gone home and told the truth
about the climate. America wouldn't have
had 10000 people. by $500.
Ananias was the first liar of any great
note. He told lie and got burned up
for It. Since then. liars have grown
great deal In skill. and now they are
seldom even roasted.
II Is very easy TO become a liar. It
h easier than to slip on an icy sidewalk

The Recognition Of China.

The governments of two countries
of high Importance in the foreign re-
lations of the United States await
formal recognition by this and all
other nations. One is China and the
other is Mexico. Our Ambassador at
Mexico treats with the Huerta govern
merit, which gained power as a result
of military coup d'etat. Our Min
lister at Pekin negotiates with the pro-
visional government, headed by Yuan
Shih kai, which came into being as
a result of the Chinese revolution.
A vigorous body of public sentiment
in the United States favors the i'm.
mediate recognition of the Chinese Re-
public. DR.. Louis Livingston Seaman.
president of the China Society of
America, who yesterday asked the
President to hasten recognition of
China. has written an interesting
pamphlet on the subject. In it he pic
lures very different state of affairs
from that which exists in Mexico and
appears to justify the Withholding of
the recognition which President Huerta
desires. DR.. Seaman writes:
The Chinese revolution was not a
coup d'etat without likelihood of per
manence; the old monarchy is hope
lessly dead. The revolution was COM
plete and peace reigns throughout the
land. The new government is with
out opposition. II Is confronted with
many difficulties. but they do not spring
from the attachment of the people TO
the departed monarchy.

In the erection of suitable buildings for

been established with from sixty to sew

been started in England of forming
new garden suburb outside Jerusalem. in
which the houses can be let to the better
class artisans who can afford a rent of
$40 to $50 year. The half acre Of ground

cost not 1000 in all. The garden can be
planted with figs, olives, and garden pro-
duce, from the sale of which the occu-
pant can make a little income.

District COMMITTEES,

The visit to this city of three emi-
nent States-economists for the purpose
of interesting President Wilson in a
comprehensive scheme of municipal
improvement of the Capital City of the
nation is very encouraging, as it DEM
onstrates that the people of the coun-
try not only regard Washington pri-
marily as their city, but also because
it shows that this capital offers ideal
opportunities to serve as a municipal
model. Residents as well as visitors
are a unit in their criticism of Con-
gress for persistently neglecting this
city, so far as modern administrative
methods are concerned.
Every one is aware that Washing
ton has been laid out on a systematic
plan prepared by the French engineer.
fEnfant, and that it was followed in
the laying out of streets. We have
shade trees by the, thousands, a fine
water supply, a smokeless city, and ex-
quisitely clean streets.
Alexander B. Shepherd, the once
condemned, but afterward honored,
Washingtonian, did more in four years
to make Washington come up to the
ideas OF rEnfant than was ever done
before for this city, which, until after
the civil war, was a disgrace in point
OF street pavement and sanitation. As
the last OF the elected Governors"
OF the District he overrode all obsta-
cles in his zeal for progress and for
beautiful Capital City. Washington
today stands in need OF just such a
man and his system.
The distinguished visitors, Lieut..
Gov. Walsh of Massachusetts,. Henry
Brucre, the civic reformer and econo-
mist, and John P, Mitchell. OF New
York, laid number of propositions
before the President, including the cs-
tablishment of mutual savings banks
in order TO lower the rate of interest
for borrowers and TO increase the in
terest for dcpositors. but especially in
regard to our antiquated building law,
which has been in force ever since the
days of Washington and allows too
much leeway to the real estate dealer
and too little. if any, to the home
buyer.
Mr.. Wilson was told the surprising
news that no tax bills are sent out bv
the district authorities and a mans
home may be sold over his head with
out his knowledge, if in ignorance of
the law he neglects to call for his bill
or fails to hear of assessments against
his property. There was a good deal
more to that effect, and it is to be
hoped sincerely and earnestly that the
President will sec that a thorough
overhauling is necessary, and that only
men who have had occasion to demon
strate in their home State. or city. their
fitness to administer municipal affairs
should be given places on the Senate
or House District Committees.
Washington depends upon the Pres
ident and upon Congress. neither of
whom it can elect, for fair treatment.
The President of the United States
owes some consideration to the vote

He ought not to allow Interests" to

opportunity to become benefactor OF
this city.

GARY CASE rs SETTLED

The case of Mandich VS.. the Illinois
Steel company, which has been on trial
in the Lake superior court before
Judge Virgil S. Reiter for several days,
was brought to close yesterday when
the case was settled for $4,000.
The plaintiff was represented by Nc
Mahon & Conroy- The settlement is
regarded as being better than a ver-
diet for twice that amount which
might be contested and carried to the
upper courts.
