Honesty as a Matter of Policy.

The old adage, Honesty is the best
policy" CRATES upon the sensitive sensi-
bilities of many ardent spirits who up
hold honesty for its ethical righteous
ness rather than for any material adyan-
tages which accrue to those who prac-
tice it. From this prevalent sentiment
there has arisen fallaey that none but
the poor are honest and that efficiency
and honesty are forever and perpetaually
Disabled. Our most successful men are
too often spoken of as 'grafters." 1t
seems TO many that they could not have
arisen to such vast heights without the
employment of fraudulant practices and
dishonest methods.
Distant echoes OF this fallacy are heard
even within the ranks of the monument
business. We often hear the complaint
that sowing to the rotten practices OF
grating competitors the honest dealer
has no chance" and that if one would
be honest he must of necessity forego
the JOYS OF success and wealth.
Against such view Granite, Marble
and Bronze most earnestly and decidedly

FRENCH DEPUTIES
PLAN FOR SECRECY
Law Requires Open Session, SO
Parliament Will Discuss War
as Committee.

Paris, Aug. 21.-At a meeting To-Day
presided over by President Poincare'
the Cabinet considered recent criticism
in Parliament of the policy OF the gov
eminent respecting the war. A state
ment was issued concerning the re-
quest of the Socialists for secret SEES
sion of the Chamber of Deputies TO re-
ceive more detailed explanations oil the
conduct of the war.
In its statement the Cabinet recalls
that the constitution provides DEBATES
and votes in Parliament must be pup
lie. and holds that this provision Is es-
sential 10 the normal workings OF Par-
lament However, there are occasions
on which il appears TO the government
to furnish information pup
LEGATION of which might be use1ul 10
the enemies of France. The govern
ment had been Of the opinion that
these explanations might be heard by
committees.
Material obje .tions to this procedure
having developed, the government &C
cepts the application OF the ruling
which proyides for constituting the
Chamber of Deputies a secret commit
tee. This will be done only on the
condition that the secret committee
take note of such information as Is
supplied and discuss it without max
ing decision of airy kind in any form.
II after the secret session the chamber
desires 70 take further action this
must be done in public
The government announces also ma
it will accept no vote except in public
session, and published IN the journal
