There are dozens Of colleges and universities in America

Common Honesty md The Common PeobIt
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

nOMMON Honesty is good enough.
In fact, man who is commonly honest is rather
to be trusted than the one who is uncOmmOnly
honest for the latter is quite likely be who trails
off into some sort Of fanaticism
It is an evidence Of the ncurable goodness and decenc
OF the human that the term Common Honesty
For all men instinctively want to be fair.
The average shrnks from cheating as from bit
ter taste foul odor. That is the why crime
uncommon and confined to small class Of people only.
Criminals few, not because the police active,
but simply because crime is disease and perverson
and the great majority Of the human normal and
do not like it. 81
After ALL general trend of human progress not de-
termned by logic, laws is determined by the abiding
human instincts and the working out Of evolution.
For evolution is not merely matter confined to the
growth OF plants and animals to the creation OF worlds and
OF species; it applies also to souls It applies to public
opinion custom and all matters that have to do with souls
in their social organization.
The vast and intricate fabric Of business n the modern
world is woven Of Common Honesty Without that the
fabric would speedily tear and to pieces.
The family the most ancient Of human institutions It'll
is the most enduring rests upon the instinct Of CONF
Honesty in the dealings Of and women with each
other than does any statutes Of law command
The surest basis of any enduring fame is the publCs
belief in ones honesty
That writer public speaker who shall attain to- the
greatest and most solid influence is the who has
ceeded in making people believe that he actually means
what he says, that he is sincere
Common Honesty the firm rock upon which the house
of achievement is built.
Common Honesty is the pure water of which must
drink every day to sustain healthy life.
Common Honesty is the daily bread Of which must
eat.
Sometimes we speak contemptuOusy Of person. saying
she is honest soul" By that usually imply that he
is not clever.
But greater compliment be paid any human being
than to say he possesses Common Honesty.
Of all kinds of human perverts the impossible is the
liar. 81
And Of all the noblemen Of earth none has better title
to nobility than the. who always keeps his word.
And it is not unreasonable to suppose that when the
great Judge finally scrutnzes every human soul give
him his final reward and finds in that SOUL He will find
in the souls Of most of u.s. than variety Of weak
wrong he will incline mercy if He find any
considerable strain Of Common Honesty.

for which she was not prepared, and in
which she has no adequate legal protection.
The laws concerning women have not kept

And she is equally hampered by a public

she was property instead Of person.

concerning the banning or release of her
