THE DEMOCRATIC BUNK
(From the Wyoming Labor Journal)

rhe measure of III sincerity and power of the Democratic platform
is found in its treatment Of the child labor amendment. After some
seneralne about thu protection of children, the platform states that
W1thou the votes of the Democratic congressman the amendment could
10 ave been adopted by congress. But it does lot recommend the
amendment to hi legislatures. In like manner it says the Esch-Cummins
tTW shoui re rewritten ut does OF recommend the Barclay-H or
TN the specific bill, much less propose naturalization. Aside from its
tar1n n PhiIippine Independence planks the platform is the usual
combination of bunkum and hokum with nothing in it for labor. No
candidate cn make the Democratic party with such a platform and such
abie to intelligent straight thinking farmers and workers.

HONOR
By THOMAS A.. CLARK
Dean of Men, University of
Illinois.

Ihere Is apparently in the minds O,
many people a peculiar Significance
IN being put upon ones honor. what
ever tina may mean, and a peculiar
from responsibility when no,
upon honor. An act may be recog.
nized as Objectionable or even as actu.
ally evil, but many people feel no
compunctions of conscience in COM
uniting it. unless they are upon their
honor Then they would lose a leg
rather than offend.
remember not long ago having a
conversation with a young fellow with
reference to certain immoral things of
which he had been guilty. He agreed
with me ultimately hat II the past
could be forgotten he would not in the
future again offend. 1t was not long.
however. until / discovered that he had
orokea his agreement.
Did you not promise me-" I asked
that you would not do this thing
againT'
why, / believe l did, was his re-
ply. but 1 did not promise upon nv
honor"
A few years g a boy came to my
ONCE and asked me to lend hin thirty
v dollars. he was playing In hard
luck, he was out of work, and II he
could borrow the sum of money for
which he asked. he could get to a dis
tant city n find a job. He would
pay the money back in three months,
he said. l let him have it, and not
hearing from him for a year or two,
| wrote him.
Il was not of age when l borrowed
the money of you," he finally replied
to my letter, and so l am under no
legal obligation to pay it." And he
a V done so. He was not on
his honor, you see.
1t is a curious thing this honor. Un-
der certain conditions a man feels
bound by it. he must be honest and
truthful and upright. He must insist
upon honesty and uprightness in 9TH
ers. Then he leaves a room or turns
a corner, and the whole situation
changes. He may lie or practice de-
ceit or even steal, and a few think the
worse of him and he not anything the
worse of himself.
1t is a false honor, this 1 have been
describing. Real honor is based upon
principle, it is the outgrowth of char
acter. 1t is not Influenced by time or
or circumstance. 1t is a part
of a mans everyday life; 1t controls
and directs his action wherever he is.
and it needs no oral or written express
sion to make 1t binding.

A trip to Powell reminds one that
this is one of the important roads
of the county and one which serves
the greatest traffic, yet on this road
there is a detour of almost a mile
over a crossing which although in
no wise dangerous, is not in keep
ing with a main highway. The cost
to the motorists of making this de-
tour will surely in the course of a
summer amount to the cost of a
new bridge, or a substantial part
of the cost of the new contemplated
road. We certainly pay for good
roads whether we have them or not.
