EXCUSES FOR LYING.


A French theologian, with the ap-
proval of his vicar general has taken
the pains to revise the popular notions
of falsehood and simplicity the deli
cate art Of veracity
His definition of a lie is an effort
to deceive one who has a right TO
know the truth. This leaves a wide
range for falsehOOd that is permissi-
BILE
The permissible lies" according
to the theory. include those told to
guard a secret and those told in self
defense. Thus. he says: A wife may
lie" about her infidelity, O. witness in
a law court may lie" if he has rea-
son to fear resentment against the
prisoner. contestant may "lie''
about sins already absOlved. and any
one may lie" to the enemies of his
country, or in any case where his own
safety is concerned And none of
these lies will be "a lie, properly So
called"
This means, in short, that lie is
permissible whenever it is more con-
Venient than the truth.
And the real philosophy Of il is
that the only lies" that are real lies
are those told without any definite
purpose in view except to astound or
entertain.
The attempt to draw line Of dis
tinction between white lies and black
ones, is not new. But il is somewhat
new for a theOlogian. with the APP

TO show that fully nine-tenths of the
lies told are justifiable.
In the law courts various degrees

THE BLUSH OF SHAME.

Now that false reports which told
of the ruthless slaughter of Ameri-
cans in Mexico, of the bloody revenge
upon them for the seizure of Vera
Cruz, have been thoroughly discred-
ited a new scheme is adopted for in
hamming public sentiment. The
blush of shame is being worked to
the limit.
Americans, il is charged, have been
deserted by their government There
fore, instead of treating them with
humble courtesy. the inferior crea-
lures whom they call greasers have
had the impudence to threaten ana
assault them and call them gringoes.
and petty officials have subjected
them to indignities. That is, in "A
land that is rent by civil feuds and
that has been compelled to relinquish
its chief port to foreigners there have
been mob disorders and d display of
national luminosity.
The resentment Of individuals who
have suffered from the conditions is
easy to understand, but that is hardly
a reason why the blush of shame
should become a national policy. We
have had flag riots and race riots in
this country on much slighter provo
cation. We have been told OF mob
insults TO the flag in Canada that
were quickly forgotten because they
were unworthy Of notice. What is
expected, then, in a country that is
distracted by civil war and aroused
by a naval and military display from
without?
The annexationists turn things out
of their true meaning and seize on
every incident with conquest in their
minds. According to their logic the
American who takes his chances in
Mexico is an overload. He has no
intention OF becoming a citizen of the
country; he is an alien landowner.
His relation TO his own people is pc
culiar also. For some reason he pre-
fers business in Mexico TO business in
the United States. He takes his bust
ness risk often in the hope of extra
ordinary gains and then expects the
people who stay at home TO insure
him by conquering the natives, TAX
ing over the government and pOlicing
the territory.
In his Mobile speech President Will
son made a distinction between con
! cessiOns and investment in foreign
countries. The annexationist is not
content with ordinary guarantees, but
/ wants TO make every American in
/ Mexico a concessionaire with specia
| privileges. In his campaign for con
! quest he seeks TO give the impression
/ that even discOurtesies from mob,
/ call for an immediate enforcement O
! the concessions through the subjuga
/ ton of the country anGs the CONVEX
sion OF doubtful speculatiCns into

Perhaps, after all. there is a reason
for the blush Of shame.-Chicag,

HORSES TOO COSTLY?
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF SUBSTI.
TUITION OF MOTOR TRUCKS.
Lands Now Devoted to Raising Food
for Draught Animals Might Be
Used for Wheat and Corn.

No one who has not taken the pre-
caution of comparing the two methods
has any conception of the wasteful-
ness of the horse as compared to the
motor-truck in the transportation of
merchandise" is the declaration of
John N. WHY'S. eve have the horse
habit so firmly fixed that even the
most startling arguments against the
equine have thus far failed to rout
this expensive domestic animal. Ac-
cording to United States government
reports, large majority of our three
principal crops go to feed the horse,
while throughout the country the high
cost Of food products is working
havoc.
THE hay crop of the United States
for this year will amount to $740000,-
600. The horse eats nearly all of this.
If horses were replaced by motor
trucks, probably 80 per cent. of the
land now used for growing hay could
be devoted to raising foodstuffs. And
the high cost of living would take
drop.
"A total of 100000 worth OF
oats is raised annually in our country
The horse eats the most of it. If this
oat-raising land could be utilized,
there would be millions of bushels of
potatoes and other foodstuffs raised
The corn crop this year is con-
servatively valued at 100000. The
horse eats very large part of this;
another demonstration of criminal
waste in the scheme for maintenance
of the human population. These three
crops have total value this year of
$3,074,000,000. A large part of this
money goes for the feeding of 25,0O0,-
600 horses and mules. If we could
eliminate half of this total number
of draught animals-and this could be
accomplished by the use of motor
trucks--there would be a saving of

Motor Car Census

As far as a census can figure, the
United States is found to lead the
world in number of motor cars in use.
At the recent session of the third in
ternational Road Congress in London
an attempt was made for the first
time to compile a complete census Of
all motor vehicles. This census was
based on accurate reports from nearly
all countries. The different reports
show that the United States has five
times as many cars as its nearest
competitor, England and Wales.
France came third in the number of
motor vehicles. 1t was found that
Germany had three times as many
motor trucks as pleasure cars, which
probably goes to prove that the Ger
mans believe in business first and
pleasure last.-New Orleans Picayune.

DISTINGUISHING olILamps.

The average motorist extinguishes
his oil lamps by turning down the
wick, in order to save the clips OF the
lamp door from becoming slackened
by frequent usage. He leaves the wick
turned down till the lamp is next re-
quired, and then forgets which way to
revolve the button, with the result that
ever and anon he turrs the wick right
down into the oil reservoir, and has
sooner or later to fish for it in the dark
with bent pin. Moral: If you extin-
guish your lamps by turning down the
wick, turn it up a trifie before you let
go of the button, so that you may new
er forget which way to revolve the but
ton. OF course, the best way to extin-
guish the lamp is to open the door and
blow out the light, as that leaves the
wick right for next time of lighting.

NO NEED FOR NAKED FLAME
Electric Current Employed at Little
Cost, to Do Away With Annoy
ance That Some Time or Other

Trouble.

When one comes to think of it, the
method usually adopted to prevent
freezing of the cooling water OF an en-
CINE is a very roundabout one. One
uses a stove to heat the garage in
which the car is stored, but it is not
always necessary to heat the whole OF
the garage, if all one is seriously con-
cerned with the water-cooling sys-
tenn. Suggestions have been made OF
lifting various heaters to the radiator,
and several of these have been OF the
naked fame type, but personally we do
not care to bring naked flame into
close contact with a car
The scheme enables the cooling wa
ter alone to be kept above freezing
point, with probably minimum ex-
penditure in the way Of electric cur
rent, as there is no waste of heat.

part of the cooling system and round
this is fitted the electrical heater This
comprises first a layer of mica around
which is wound suitable length of
German silver wire. This is inclosed in
some material, such as asbestos, which
insulates both electricity and heat
Around this is protecting metal or
other tube which carries a socket to
which the ends of the wires are at
tached. Cooperating with the socket
is a two-hole plug which is mounted
upon the end of electrical wires and
serves to connect on or external to the
car Where the car is filled with an
electrical lighting set, one naturally
would draw the current from the &C
cumulators thereof, and it may Incl,
dentally be mentioned that the practice

condition The device can, of course,
be used, if suitably constructed, for
connecting up to the ordinary house

frost is experienced the heater is
coupled up and a current flows through
the wire C, creating gentle heat which
warns up the water in the pipe. This
heated water rises, and slow circula-
ton is set up so that the whole of the
