Many are the tragedies of the
whispered lie. It's victims are more
helpless than those of the brutal
truth. For, often, since the lie is
whispered the victim cannot kill it,
since he may not hear of it, or may
be the last person to learn of it.
Hence it does it's deadly work because
the person who could successfully
scotch it to earth is kept in ignorance
of the defamation that ruins him in
siduously. The whispered lie is worse
than the snake in the grass, since
even it gives the victim chance.
The worst of the whispered lie is
that even friends of the victim may
participate in it's propaganda, instead
of overcoming false delicacy and
facing the victim with the rumor so
that the truth might be known which
ever way it lay. Indeed, the whis-
pered lie of supposed friendship is
the worst form of this lie. 1t gives
the sanction of supposed intimacy to
the SANDER and so reinforces its ap-
parent truthfulness in the eyes of the
Indifferent, the envious or the hostile,
who are always willing to believe the
worst.
That such harmful rumors and gos-
sip are not confined to the field of
disinterested social contacts, but per-
wade all social relationships, is shown
in the lives of all notable people, and
in the lives of the obscure. 1t per-

The Whispered Lie

meates all human activities, and robs
the scientist or public man of his
character as it robs the business man
of his credit.
Much of the harm may be done by
want of heart as we'll as want of
thought. A piece of news or gossip
may be so contrary to the expected
that it gets an added interest, and the
unthinking pass it on without testing
it's accuracy. Under cover of the
anonymous and generally foolish and
slanderous "They Say" the lie accu-
mulates as it passes from mouth to
mouth. This, along with the human
failing of believing what we wish to
believe, gives zest to the rumor, and
so it grows as it makes it's under
ground, anonymous and snake-like
progress.
1t would be we'll for all of us to deal
promptly when we are made the re-
ceivers of gossip. When a statement
has to be qualified with the indefin-
ite "They say" it may be discount
ed as of no value, especially when j.
is whispered. Unless information can
be substantiated and traced to its
sources it should be taken with care,
and in no case should it be retold un-
less with the authority of the person
who told it to the teller. If this were
acted upon by us all we would find
that people would be more careful II
their gossip, and life would be sweet

WORKING HARD TO KEEP EVEN

The "Hired Man" happened the

tongued representative of the unfair
Crowell Publishing Co. of Springfield,
AOhio, which last October locked out
it's union printers and declared for the
"open shop" and heard part OF the
spiel this bird was putting over.
Naturally he dwelt upon the un-
equaled excellence of the magazines
his bosses issued-Womans Home
Companion, American Magazine,
Farm and Fireside and The Mentor
but wound up his Grafton by the state
ment that "its not your money we're
after, we want more subscribers.
This would seemingly indicate that
the fight being put up by the Spring,
field Printers against the Crowell
people is beginning to bear fruit and
is being felt by the "open shoppers" !"
This was further emphasized by the
post office receipts at Springfield
which in one month recently showed a
fAlling off of upwards of $1,000 from
this firm alone.

Used Car Buyers
Need Bill of Sale

Columbus, o. - Prospective pur-
chasers of used cars are warned by
The Ohio State Automobile Associa-
tion not to buy unless proper title of
ownership or bill of sale is furnished
by the seller. Hundreds of stolen
cars, according to Secretary Chas. C.
James, are being driven around every
day by persons who bought them in
nocently and do not know they are
stolen.
James declared that state associa-
tion clubs had unearthed the informa-
tion that organized automobile thieves
make a practice of forging bills of
sale and certificates of ownership and
that motorists therefore should insist
on clear proof title.
Most stolen cars that are not recov-
cred after having been used for a joy
ride, James stated, were taken to be
altered and sold. If the prospective
buyer insists on proof of bona fide
ownership as the law requires, he not
only will obviate the possibility of
losing the car later, but will aid in re-
ducing the theft liability in this state.
"No man." James declared, "would
think of buying even a $4,000 lot un-
less he had complete detailed alb
stract of title, and yet he will pur-
chase a used car from anybody who
happens along and pay $500 to 1000
without either questioning where.
when, or how possession was acquir-
ed.
Information concerning how to ex-
ecute bills of sale and give proof of
ownership may be obtained by auto
mobile owners at headquarters of any
of the 83 clubs affiliated with the o.
S. A. A." James said, eff detailed in
formation and satisfactory evidence
is supplied"

American People
Learning Thrift
(By Federated Press)

Washington-That the people OF
the United States saved during 1923
more than they earned during 1890
constitutes a remarkable index to the
general prosperity Of the country, and
that the nation as a whole is at the
present time putting aside one-sixth
of its income is a subject for hearty
congratulation. These two facts are
brought to light by the Mechanics and
Metals National Bank of New York
City in its monthly review; and show
clearly that the American public has
learned we'll the great lessons of
thrift and economy so sedulously
preached in late years. If only some
methods could be worked out, how
ever, to safeguard these savings from
the army Of fraudulent stock promot
ers and others of that like who, like
vultures, >swoop down upon their vic
tins as soon as they will make good
picking, the situation would be
whole lot more promising. AS it is,
every year thousands of those who
have saved so praiseworthily find
themselves with nothing but lot of
worthless paper to show for it.

$500 TrolIy Men
Call Off Strike

Pittsburgh-The strike of the Pitts
burgh Trolleymen was of brief dura-
ton lasting only from Friday mid
night until the afternoon of the next
Monday. This three days work sus-
pension seems to have sufficed for
the men and the company and the
public. It's termination was welcom-
ed on all sides.
From labor viewpoint the depart
ure of hundreds of imported strike
breakers Immediately with the an
nouncement of the settlement was in
deed timely. Their presence in any
community is an incentive to riot.
The rough neck element that follow
the occupation of breaking strikes
adds no lustre to society as a whole.
Pittsburgh never has taken kindly to
the scum of New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago in times of industrial
controversies, any more than it fav-
ors, riot guns, tear gas, hand gre
nades, machine guns and policemen's
clubs. Its citizens do not want to see
an occasion arise when such instru-
ments of warfare are needed to main
tain peace and order.
Three thousand two hundred Pitts
burghers, good citizens, reliable and
responsible, all employees of the Pitts
burgh Railways Company called off
their fight. They entered into an
agreement to work for two years at
their old rate of pay. 1t is admitted
that there were a few minor conces-
sions granted by the traction company

A SUCCESS
GLENWOOD PLAN is GROWING
IN FAVOR
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Shopmen
at the Philadelphia Convention
Favor Cooperative Idea

Philadelphia-One of the principal
topics discussed at the recent conven-
ton of the Baltimore & Ohio System
ederation No. 80, held in this city at
which nearly $4,000 union shopmen
were represented, was the policy of
harmonious working between workers
and the railroad known as the Glen
wood plan, which has been in opera
ton IA months in the Glenwood shop
of the 3. & 0. railroad. Three months
ago it was extended to the "A shops
of the entire system, and now it is
unanimously approved by representa-
tives of the workers in these shops.
The plan is along the lines trade
unionists have always urged. 1t is
simplicity itself, but it promises to
revolutionize the relations between
employees and railroad management.
The plan provides for conferences
at stated intervals between the shop
management and representatives of
the men. These meetings have no di-
rect connection with trade unionism,
though the discussions have reduced
the number Of grievances.
The conferences make it possible to
take full advantage of the experience
and knowledge Of every worker. The
men are not speeded up. Any labor
saving device, any "easier way" to
produce without lessening quantity or
quality the worker suggests is given
consideration. This system displaces
the arbitrary edict of shop foremen
and is developing a. new spirit among
these workers who are proving that
their unions can be made constructive
agencies if they are not forced to be
continually on the defensive.
After more than a years trial,
President VIM. McGee of the fedora
tion declared, material benefits have
come to both Chopmen and the rail
road in the form of approved work
ing conditions, fewer grievances, with
quicker adjustment, increased pro-
duction, safer and more sanitary
shops, elimination Of waste, steadier
work, greater earnings and better
railroad service to the public.
The convention resolved to get
more business for the railroad and to
enlist the American labor movement
in this program. Reactionary en-
ployers and those sections of the lab
or movement that do not favor the
Glenwood plan were denounced by the
convention as misrepresenting the
scheme. Adjustments of working
hours to permit the B. & O. to stabi-
lie its shop forces were authorized
by the convention.

HOLIER THAN CHRIST

There is much talk in some quarters
advocating the prohibition of sacra-
mental wine, and serious advice has
been offered that the churches should
use only grape juice, indeed, the
"Hired Man," recalls an instance
years ago, long before the eighteenth
amendment days, when such a sug-
gestion was made, and was flatly
turned down by the minister. With
all due respect, it looks as if it is
coming from forces that think wine
is intrinsically evil.
A few sects believe that you will
go to hell if you sip some altar wine
or take a chew of tobacco; but if you
want to marry the divorced wife of
your neighbor, we'll that's all right.
Wine in itself is not evil. No
stretch of the imagination can make
it so. If it is, Christ's earthly life
and teachings were entirely at vari-
ance with the views of some mod
ern extremists, because there is not

PRACTICE MODERATION

Since the advent and street sales of
couple of rival publications of wide
ly different views, newspaper readers
in Newark have increased at a truly
wonderful rate, and the merits and
demerits of the aforesaid journals af-
ford an unending theme for argu-
ment, sometimes intermingled with
profanity.
The "Hired Man" is a firm believer
in and advocate of free speech and
free press, and in the inherent right
of every man to govern his life and
actions by the dictates of his con-
science, but he just as firmly believes
that no statement, especially when
printed in a newspaper, should be
made whose veracity is absolutely not
beyond question.
One of the so-called newspapers re-
fefred to is tooth and nail against the
other fellow, and bitterly opposes an
organization it champions. One of it's
star attractions is the publication of
the names of alleged members of said
organizations.
Every man has right to become a
member of any lodge, church or So
ciety he desires, and can do so provid-
ed the boys already on the inside are
not too liberal with the black ball,
and there is no reason why members
, should deny affiliation with the or
ganization of their choice. But some
of our people whose names have been
prominently brought before the public
have violently and vehemently enter
ed protest, and branded the statement
as untrue.
In the future would it not be we'll if
the local newsgathere for the Hoosier
paper be sure he is stating facts when
sending in his weekly budget?

Watson's close connection with

will necessarily involve the latter
to some extent and may force
President Coolidge to take a defin-

The agreement reached by Wat

BIG BUSINESS is
AGAINST FORD

Strange how the captains of in

out of a town.
Reports from Springfield are to
the effect that Ford desired to To-
cate in that city, but the "leading
citizens" were afraid he would
raise the standard of wages and
opposed his coming to that town.
Ford then went to South Char
lesion, a few miles from Spring
field, purchased a large tract and
is said to be preparing to erect an
immense plant.
This will mean that about all of
Springfield will move over too
South Charleston.
1t is said Mr.. Ford wanted to To-
cate in Dayton at one time, but
local men kept him out. Then he
went to Hamilton and established
his plant in that city.
Which meant the diverting of
untold millions of dollars from
Dayton.
