BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTH
Two Opinions With Respect to False Statement Minister Admits
 He Made.

A curiously interesting question of ethics has arisen over the failure of minister to secure employm ent for an erring but repentant woman until he told prospective employers that she was a woman of good character. He had often been on the point of get ting for her the work she needed in order to make an honest living and to regain the moral equilibrium which had been disturbed by her wrongdoing But as soon as the minister, in his devotion to the strict letter of the truth, admitted that the woman had sinned, the doors of honest living were closed in her face. the "unco' good" people who were in a position to lend a helping hand refusing to run the risk of contamination" unwilling to fol low the example of Him who said to another erring woman: Go and sin no more."
 Now rather lively local discussion has arisen as to whether the minister was justified under the circumstances, or whether anybody is ever justified under any circumstances, in telling lie. Perhaps few will deny that if this minister really lied at all he strained the truth In good cause and that the imposition praetieed upon those who refused to give to another the chance of reform which they themselves would have welcomed in their own cases was intended to serve a humane purpose. All who are inclined to take an ultra conservative view of the in- vioi2bility of truth might ponder the splendid words of Dickens when he wrote Tom Pinch and the lie that he did only good to another human be ing:
 There are some falsehoods, Tom, on which men mount, as on bright wings, to heaven. There are truths. cold, bitter. taunting truths, that bind men down to earth. Who would not rather have to fan him in his dying hour the lightest feather of false hood such as thine. than all the quills plucked from the sharp porcupine. revengeful truth, since Time began?"

AGAINST EXPOSITION APPROPRIATION.

The News would like to go on record as being against the bill in- troduced in the legislature to ap- propriate $5O,OOo for the building of an exposition building on the site of the alleged Panama" exposi- ton to be held in San Francisco in 1915.
 People who know the methods. ways and means of the exposition promoter know very well that the latest Worlds fair is being pro- noted under false eolors; that it is not an exposition to commemorate the building of the Panama canal half so much as it is to boost Cali fornia and San Francisco. The cat was let out of the bag, too. when it is learned that San Diego will operate a rival exposition at the same time the San Francisco is going full blast-an attempt to divert the crowds to Southern Gal ifornia from San Francisco and the central part of the state.
 And Arkansas has no money to waste in fostering the commercial and industrial welfare of the Pa eific coast. If we have $5O,O00 to spend let's spend in states from which we can get good farmers, advertising our resources, people, business enterprises and climate.
 Had New Orleans been given this exposition as it was entitled to have it things would have been diff ferent, as thousands of people from the eastern and middle states would have visited it, where there will not be hundreds go to Califor- nia and they will be the idle rich.

CHARGES AGAINST SECRETARY FISHER.

Charges were recently made by William c. Plumb, attorney for the Uncle Sam Oil Co.,. to the effect that secretary of the Interior. Fisher has been showing pro- nounoed favoritism toward athe Standard Oil Go. and hostility to the Uncle Sam Co.,, which is an independent concern, in regard to approving contracts for the lease of the oil lands belonging to the Osage Indians. The Osage tribe is an exceedingly wealthy, one and owns some of the most valuable oil lands in the country and Attorney Plumb has emphatioally charged that Secretary Fisher has favored the Standard Oil Go. in approving these leases wherever possible. Secretary Fisher also appeared be- fore the Congressional Committee on Indian Affairs and emphatically denied these charges. The matter will be further investigated.

Mother Kanqaroo's Bravery.

During a severe drought in a cer- tain section of Australia. the owner of a country station was sitting one eve ming on the porch when he saw a kangaroo lingering about. alternately approaching and retiring from the house, as if half in doubt and fear what to do.
 At length she approached the wa ter pals, and, taking young one from her porch, held it to the water to drink.
 While her baby was satisfying its thirst the mother was quivering all over with apprehension, for she was but few feet from the porch where one of her foes was watching her.
 The baby having finished drinking, 1t was replaced in the pouch and the old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace
 The spectator was so much impress ed by the astonishing bravery of the affectionate mother that he made a vow-and kept it-never again to shoot kangaroo.

Legislators who harrasss the railroads and other public service corporations to an unwarrantad degree by introducing and support ing bills which will reduce their ef- ficiency are working an untold injury on themselves and their constituents. Proper regulation is undoubtedly needed; persecution will result in bad service and an- noyance to the people.

Will dSh mdyOl
to close Jones resort forthwith
Jones has been one of the kings
of the vice district. Repeated de-
mands have been made on the mayor
that he close up his joint. The mayor
always sidestepped.
According to Carvan nothing
wrong ever went on in Jones place.
Only Summing parties came there.
No suggestive songs were sung in it,
and no suggestive dances were
danced in it. No women ever solicit
ed men there.
Unfortunately for Carvan, Senator
Beall paid a quiet little visit to the
Jones resort several nights ago. He
was solicited four times while in the
place. He heard negro woman en-
tertainer sing peculiarly rotten YER
sion of "All Night Long," the while
she danced with her skirts up to her
waist and a negro male entertainer
lay on the floor at her feet.
Abe Frank denied being interested
in Buxbaum's, the notorious South
Side levee resort. Frank said he
thought the tango a very refined
dance" He denied that, he had stop
ped the singing of such songs as my
Harem" in Rector's and the North
American only after the commission
got down to work.
The Summing party, whose names
are suppressed at the request of the
commission, thought the arrest
tragedy at first: A newspaper photog-
rapher took a flashlight picture of
one of the women on the stand.
The women broke down. Her
brother jumped up and asked if the
commission was going to permit such
treatment of woman? Senator Beall
asked the photographer for the plate,
and when he got it gave it to the
woman "as a momento."
The other woman, as she was leav-
ing the stand, remarked that she was

The members of the commission
have been making quiet investiga-
ton of Chicago's fast cafes and res
taurants- and lowbrow-
for the last week.
Some of the things they saw rather
astonished, especially the things in
the swell restaurants. They had not
known before that in such places as
Rector's women dressed in next to
nothing danced dances that men ap-
plaud on the stage and have fits
about if their daughters even talk of.
So last night, the investigators of
the commission went out with a
bunch of forthwith subpoenas and
came back with a bunch of restau-
rant managers, entertainers, and
guests of the various places.
The investigators were not at all
particular. They brought in Jack
Carvan, manager of Roy Jones resort
at Twenty-first and Wabash, one of
the most notorious in the city, and
they collected Abe Frank, manager of
Rector's and the North American.
They brought in lightly clad dancers
and stunning parties" One mem
