Sincerity and the ,
...- Public Welfare
TRUTH is strange thing. No
matter how much we flout it
ond orppross II contort IL and

TRUTH is a strange thing. No
matter how much we flout it
i and suppress it, comfort it and
deny it, it lives right along.
There was no lie ever devised
by the shrewdness of man that is
as tough, everlasting and non-kill-
able as the truth.
One difficulty with these times
has been pointed out recently by
two bankers. Frank Vanderlip in
a communication from Europe and
Paul M. Warburg in an address
at Williams College both stressed
the same point.
1t is that mems minds, or at
least their words, are bent and
colored by their interests.
This is one Of the penalties of
organization.
The trouble with any mans ut
terance when he is the known
champion of political party,
when he speaks for labor with a
big l. or for capital with big
G, or when he is the sworn adher-
ent Of any creed or cult, is that
we know pretty much what he is
going to say before he says it. He
may be perfectly sincere, but his
sincerity is discounted by the very
platform and prominence from
which he speaks.
If we could get the railroad ex-
ecutives and the chiefs of the labor
unions together in a small room
over a dinner, it would be found
that their views are not very far
apart; but when they. have to 60
out and talk to the public, they
must whoop things up for their or.
ganization.
OF course, honesty does not i'm
ply that a man must be blather-
skite, and unfortunately a good
many people think no one can be
sincere unless he is outrageous.
But for all that, there never was
a time when there was greater de-
mand for rugged, plain and down.
right integrity Of speech. As Mr..
Warburg said:
There was never a time when
public men were offered a.
greater opportunity to serve
their countries by speaking the
truth, or when more brazenly
they whispered the truth in
private, while from the house
tops and soap boxes they told
the stories that would get them
votes and keep them in their
political jobs.

Killing Gets Fashionable

YYAVE you noticed how common
n killing has become since the
III warf 1t is dangerous for ma
tions to set the example. Individ-
uals follow it. You pick up one
page of a quiet newspaper and you
read, "Gang Kills Gunman, By
ISLANDERS Hit" Then ."Kill Man
and Throw Body Into Bushes. 4"
Next comes Father and Son Die\in
Feud." On another page Of that
paper you read about a pack of
tigers coming down from the noun
tains in Mexico, attacking three
families and killing three women,
two men, two little boys and a
baby. The difference between
those tigers and many men is
found in the fact that the tigers
were driven from the mountains by
starvation.

The Var Of
Birth Rates
\ E FIGARO calls Frances at
tention to this brutal and
fraoic Fact.

~ rIGAnO Calls rTdHcc at
tention to this brutal and
- tragic fact:
Last year Frances population de-
clined 100000. In the same period
Germany's excess Of births over
deaths was 100000.
In twelve months the numerical
strength Of the two peoples
changed by a million, to the ad-
vantage of Germany. This means
that in ten years there will be
two Germans for every Frenchman.
Food for thought.
Frances own people will not
supply the armies with which to
further the plans Of the militarists
who now seem to dominate her.
So it is proposed to conscript
100000 blacks annually from the
African colonies, Algerian and
Tunisian leaders are delighted.
