Lies Honor System

people are not working under the
honor system. They are under bond
of suspicion, watched and guarded by
all sorts of checks and means to keep
them honest. And If they can get
away with it, they feel like the little
boy who. when locked in his room to
mediate on his wrong doings, impish-
ly climbs out of the bedroom window
and "shins" down the old apple tree
whose branches lead him to freedom
How many people fail to put down
the penny for their daily paper when
they find it untended and lying in piles
that are guarded by stones from the
winds onslaughts. but that have no
guardian present to insure honest
payment? Papers lying thus make a
mute appeal to honesty. They sug-
gest that it is taken for granted that
you will pay for what you take.
Cafeterias find ii possible TO trust
in the honesty of their patrons. In
such you help yourself to what you
want and announce the sum of your
Indebtedness If you should cheat
and deny rightful payment of the full
sum under these circumstances, you
are a perverted creature. The natural
thing to do is to pay what you owe
because it is taken for granted that
you will.
Natural to BE Honest
Honesty is more natural human
instinct than thievery. 1t came first
'Cheating and thievery are not actual
qualities so much as inhibitions of
natural ones.
am not proposing that we turn
the world upside down, remove all
barriers TO wrong-doing and give
cranks and feeble minded and even
insane creatures full sway. l am
merely saying that the normal human
being is decent and honorable. When
he cheats it is probably largely to ad-
mire his own cleverness in escaping
detection His own instincts bid him
be honest. And if the world shows
that ii expects him to be honest, he
would be ashamed to disappoint it.
The honor system works whenever
it is absolutely simply applied. In a
community where il is used, the
weight of public opinion swings over
to taking honesty in others for granted.
Who would dare go against it? Who
wants to be dishonorable when every
body expects him to be decent? Who
| likes to disappoint the faith of a
child? Who cheats an absolutely
trusting woman? Never the sober,
honest. decent citizen.
And the citizen who lies just beyond
the pale of decency and honesty can
be reclaimed often by a faith that
takes the best in him for granted.
Even as we don't disappoint people
when they expect wrong doing from
us, even as we want the game when
we're given the name of thief, so
honor can score by taking our honor
for granted.
Wherever the honor system grows.
honor grows to meet il. We are all
inherently decent-or we are abnor-
NAL. Abas with suspicion and doubt.
More power to honor and the honor
system!

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Several years ago one of the best
known women writers in the country
Ihad class in literary criticism at the
college l attended. on the day of ex-
animation she appeared before her
class of thirty women read aloud ten
examination questions, and then re-
marked: 1T is now 2 o'clock. l shall
be here TO receive your examination
papers at FIVE. You are at liberty to
go anywhere you like to answer the
you neither to communicate with one
another nor to consult any books or
reference"
l think there was not a girl in that
class who would have cheated, even
! If her college degree had depended
entirely upon her passing that exam
nation with honors. The important
thing was to pass IL with honor.
Human nature may be capable of
all sorts of deception and double deal
ing. That is largely because il knows
these things are expected of il and
will be given it In turn. But as a gen
eral rule, any one whose honesty is
taken for granted will live up to ex-
lpectations
| Having the game as we'll as the
name is a pet weakness of humanity.
But when one is met with simple hon
| leStN that takes for granted that one
can make returns of like simple hon
esty. failure to do so becomes a thing
too contemplate to he contemplated.
| Would you like TO know how the
college examination was conducted? q?
Some of us stayed in the room where
| IT had been given out. and quietly and
silently set about putting down what
we knew on the subject of literary
Icriticism. Some of us chose TO go to
our own rooms to write in the quiet
and cool of familiar surroundings.
And some sought the back campus
and save our knowledge of the sub
ject full sway under the shade of the
college elms. No one cheated. No
one asked help. No one wanted to
because no one would have been will
| ing to face the bar of her own judg-
ment and acknowledge herself incapa-
Bile of being as simply honorable as
! she was expected TO be. And no one
suspected any one else of dishonesty
or double dealing.
\ Perfectly Simple Thing
! If you find ii impossible to believe
this simple little tale of absolute hon
esty, there is something wrong with
You. If you can't believe that other
people. when free and able TO cheat
will still refrain from doing so,s then
] YOU, yourself, must be incapable of
playing fair. Are you willing TO so
adjudse yourself?
If you cannot believe that the hon
or system works, it is because it
would not work for YOU.
No normal human being with any
instinct of decency likes to fail simple
trust and confidence. Oh. | know that
bank presidents abscond and Sunday
school superintendents elope with
funds and other peoples wives. and
that in competitive examinations there
are all sorts of cheating. But these

Mt. UNION MAKING PROGRESS

Mount Union, Pa. Oct 4.-Mount
Union is making great industrial prog
ress, as can readily be seen in making
a canvass of, the banks that handle
the payrolls for the various industries.
During the year 1914, when the pay
roll totaled $50. 900 per month. it was
thought very good for a town of the
size of Mount Union. But owing to
the new explosive works and boom in
the brick business. caused in an in
direct way by the war, it is estimated
that the payroll for October will prob
ably exceed $4,000.

There is no feature of fashions more in
teresting than the determination with
which the tunic holds its place. This one
is very new and smart. 1t is finished
with narrow tucks at the lower edge in
which cords are inserted to produce the
required fare and it is open at the front.
The opening makes an especial feature, for
that 1t gives just one more evidence of
the period to which the designers are
looking. The skirt beneath is of COM
Portable and moderate width. Here, the
skirt and the tunic are made of one ma
terial, but an equally good effect could
be obtained by making the tunic of one
material and the skirt of another, as
tiowered taffeta over plain, or, taffeta
over gabardine or plain cloth over plaid.
Besides showing one of the newest and
smartest models, the skirt is very simple
one and very easy to make. The founda-
ton is perfectly plain, finished with
hemmed edges and the tunic is shirred and
arranged over it.
For the medium Nze will be needed AZ
yds. OF material AZ in. wide, rs yds. 36
or a., for the skirt, as yds. 27 in. wide,

Selecting a Gift for Father

The chief business before the
house, after everyone else has been
provided for, is selecting a Christmas
gift for Father. Many possibilities at
once suggest themselves. Father
could stand a new overcoat. Yes, but
who has the price to buy Father a
new overcoat? Answer, Nobody, not
even Father.
Father also needs pair of goloshes,
a new comb, another handspring in
his watch, ten tons of coal, toupee
for the top of his head, six or eight
new pairs of shoelaces, and a gross of
collar buttons. He also has sneak
ing desire for half a dozen celluloid
collars that can't be told from the real
thing.
Let us, therefore, consider these
articles carefully: Goloshes-goloshes
cost too much. Cut 'em off the list.
Comb-a combs too cheap. Anyway,
there are only seven teeth missing
from the comb which Father now has,
and the missing teeth just match
Fathers missing hairs. New main
spring to watch-this would necessi-
tate asking Father for the watch, and
then his Christmas gift wouldn't be a

The Man Above the Dollar

U. s. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
Dec. 10, 1915.-If we are to take up
this question of the violation of our
rights, want to put it not on the
lowest ground alone, but on the high
est ground as well. l think it is Of
great Importance that we should vim
dictate our rights as a neutral in trade
if those rights have been violated, but
| think it is far more important that
we should extend protection and as
sure security to American citizens
wherever they rightfully are, for l do
not believe that any government can
long retain the respect of its own
people if it does not give them the
protection to which they are entitled.
| think Americans should be protected
in their lives and in their liberty
everywhere. l do not think they
ought to be murdered in detail and
obscurely in Mexico or openly and
wholesale on the high seas. Although
am as anxious as anyone can be to
care for our rights in trade if they
are violated. The body of an innocent
child floating dead on the water, the
victim of the destruction of an I'M
armed vessel, is to me a more poig-
nant and a more tragic spectacle than
an unsold bale of cotton.

Many Children Have Worms

Worms are a common childhood all
ment. They make children irritable,
nervous and restless, besides robbing
the body and mind of proper nour-
ishment. Watch your child. Examine
the stools and at first signs of worms
give your child a treatment of Kick
apoo Worm Killer. They kill the
worms, act as laxative and expel
the worms and poisonous waste, tone
the system and help restore your
child's health and happy disposition.
