TIME line Of honesty is an ex-
ceedlngly straight one. It
sometimes gets badly
crooked in the use, but is by ma
ture rectilinear and is the short
est path between duty and per-
Torrance. Small dishonesties are
of the same nature as big ones,
and by cultivation easily grow
into big ones.
There is no halfway between
straight and crooked, and If we
do not begin by being dishonest
in small thing there is no dan
ger Of our graduating into
large-scale deceiver or swindler.
All Of that is very simple and
fashioned.
Much is said about the new
morality the new thought, the
new art, the new religion, and so
,forth, but the old is pretty good.
It has stood the racket for a good
while, and we had better stand
by 1t and not fling ourselves away
on fancy innovations till we are
quite sure that they will make as
good show in the working as
what we received from our ia
theirs and grandfathers.
There are forms OF inconspicu-
Gus dishonesty worth mention,
which are so frequent as to be
almost respectable, but which
loosen the joints of character and
occasion no end Of annoyance
and some times even distress.
One is that of engaging to do a
given thing at a specific time and
then failing to do it at the time
promised, and postponing It to a
later hour or day, or even not do
ing It at all.

Giant Motorman Takes Count
From Right Handler to
the law

-
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Charley Mil
Ter of California was decisively beaten
here last night by Gunboat Smith. The
end came In the third round when
Smith landed short. choppy right to
Miller's jaw which sent him down for
the count.
The big motorman was outclassed
throughout the battle. In the first
round 1t looked az X Smith would
score knockout. but the lack OF
aggressiveness on the part Of the
Gunner gave Miller q fresh start.
The end came in the last minute OF
the third round. Smith had landed
some powerful smashes in the proceed
ing round that staggered Miller, and
the finish was expected. An opening
presented itself and Smith sent in =
short, choppy right handler which
landed flush on the Jaw. Miller going
down In heap for the count.
Miller was easy TO hit. Right on
the reel Smith hooked him with q left,
which sent the motorman against the
ropes. A right staggered him, but
Smith. instead OF following his adj
vantage, allowed Miller to yecuperate.
However, 1t was apparent that Smith
could get Miller any time he wanted.
