On the ISSUE Of

Copyright. 1913. ~ Frank Craus)

steals as a cankering worm into any rose
he plucks.
A lie sometimes follows its maker for
years, to leap on him and strange him IN
the very hour of his success.
The lie is a combination of everything
that is ignoble; it is the concentrated
essence of cowardice, treachery, and selfish
ness.
You don't have to talk but If you do
talk tell the truth and shame the devil.
Lies are they that undermine your
health, debilitate your mind and rot your
soul.
If you long for crime why, burn a hay
rick, carry away gate, commit arson,
mayhem or burglary. but don't lie. That's
at the bottom Of the list.
We would prefer pro-Germans or Reds,
profiteers or anonymous letter writers, to
liars.
In the language of the Epic of Old Bill
Smith, in that passage where he fires the
Office Boy for lying: Against thieves,
robbers, pirates and their ilk we have de-
tense, bolts, locks, bars and pistols, but
against liars we have no defense. Villain,
thou art a base and causeless prevaricator.
Get thy pay and beat it,
But what if one hates TO lie, yet dare not
tell the truth?
Well one might try keeping still.

Many Minds

Who destroyed them? Shakespeare.

Craigs theory solves old mystery-that is, how one
man could have had knowledge broad and many sided
The whole series of dramas too colossal for
to have created
One man didn't; many did it, says Craig.
Shakespeare he thinks, sketched out the plays Them
much of the dialogue mprovsed by the whole com

the characters The original manuscript became Of
corrections additions and cuts, says Craig.
The master dramatist took this achievement Of many
minds and placed the mark of his genius it when he
polished the acting version of the plays for publication.
Each play was his But many had part in Gre

Craig's explanation is convincing The automobile we
saw TODAY is the creation of many minds each helping to

There is no luxury like telling the truth
Once you get the taste for it nothing else
can satisfy
Truth is clean, like the sound, white flesh
Of ripple apple; like the taste Of pure,
clear water gushing out OF a spring; like
the fresh green of wheat field in spring;
like the feel of new velvet; like your white
skin after bath and rundown; like the
clear eye of a happy girl; like everything
that is unspotted and wholesome.
Lies are dirt.
Just as there is something wrong about
a man that loves TO wear unbrushed clothes
and have unkempt hair and grimy hands
and mournful fingernais and shoes un-
shined, when his duty and business do not
imply such things. and when he seeks
slovenliness from preference, so there is
something perverted and repulsive about
any human being that takes pleasure in
twisting the truth to make trouble or
avoid due consequences.
OF all things TO teach children none is
comparable in importance 10 the habit Of
truth. For no other one thing can follow
and plague you so much as lie.
Whoever lies pits himself against the
universe Every stick and stone is leagned
against him, His lie waits for him like n
robber at unexpected corners, turks behind
