A FORCE FOR POLITICAL HONESTY

Some years ago in many city councils and state legis-
atures, public service corporation had pay graft to
secure any consideration whether for legitimate e
gltmate purpose Even it wished to build an extension
that public necessity demanded it often had to pay the
graft just the same.
1t was demoralizng when prominent business men at
the head OF corporations would become party to these
practices Many of them felt they must stand in with the
gratters or their corporations would be wrecked The re-
suit was harmful to the corporations They might get rid
hostility. r,
BY and by the public got worked up on this ques-
ton that public service corporation could frequently not
get justice in legitimate enterprise. 1t is very poor
policy for business to play fast and loose with the
principles Of common honesty.
When the political grafters attempt to hold up cor
poraton IN any honest enterprise the thing for the corpo
ration to do is to take its to the newspapers These
are force that the CRATER control If business
proposition can be shown to be for the service of the pub
nc as well as for private benefit the newspapers can be
depended upon to favor it.
The newspaper publishers may be no more honest
than the average run of people But newspaper can
expect to make success unless it stands clearly for the
public interest newspaper that is influenced bv paw
ment OF money is uncommon and is not apt have ch

clanS may have said they had chance The best exist
ing medical science has its limitations and there are
where all indications prove false
The information is often given out that person is
not expected to live If the doomed individual is given
that information it usually ends the fight for him. If he
had lighting chance for lfe he feels it is useless to
struggle and he sinks back his end Even if the fact
concealed from him and told his family he reads the adj
verse verdict in their eyes.
II sick people need to make will or arrange some
business affairs IN the short time apparently left it may
be wise to them that in of their critical illness
1t would be we'll to make ready for any emergency But
actually to pronounce anyones death sentence to tell
them they have got to CO. destroys little chance of
recovery that they may possess.
1t would seem wiser, therefore, for people to speak
guardedy In these matters Instead of saying that pa
tent is not expected to live why simply say that he
very critically i'll? Miss Heds is remarkable show
ing of what individual will can do. There are latent
forces in the human body capable of very hard fight for
life, and they frequently themselves when all
seems lost Give them chance up to the final moment
