first class malignity, second-class
malignity, lies of real benevolence,
false benevolence, wanton lies, and
practical lies that are acted out.
DR.. Vile feels that lying is not
necessary for an isolated individ-
ual out of contact With other hu-
man beings, but that a certain
amount of lying is absolutely neces-
Sary for social organization in these
modern times.
The truth is an ideal and a So
cially protective device. Experience
indicates that there will always be
a conflict between the absolute the
DRY of life and the practical attain
ment of ideals.
Lying typifies a breach of social
promise, and most individuals are
satisfied with the statement that
honesty is the best policy.
Credulity encourages lies, and
mankind has been credulous from
the beginning of time.
Since society recognizes the lie
within limitations as a form of con-
duct which promotes the adapta-
ton of man to his achievement, it
must be recognized that society has
not yet arrived at an ideal basis.
The human being is not indie
pendent or free in any sense of the
word, and at the time when truth
prevails completely man will be
completely free.

Acquiring knowledge

EDUCATION is the means by
IL which we accumulate enough.
knowledge to go ahead. Its chief
object is to acquaint each genera
ton with what has been done quick
ly enough to enable it to do little
more, for that very reason it must
include the most recent discoveries
inventions and theories, as we'll as
the oldest.
If education serves its purpose. it
must interpret human progress not
only from the standpoint of the be-
ginning of things, but from that OF
the very latest achievement.
When education is dominated by
any force, attitude or prejudice, ex-
cept a disposition to make the most
of human experience. to acquaint
people with what is known in order
that more can be known, to- stimu-
late originality and encourage in
dependent thinking, it ceases to be
education.

Bootleg Murders

One of the dangers of the bootleg business is that
Of being killed by rival.
It might also be said that this is about the only,
danger involved in what is now very prosperous and
hourishing business.
Last night one of these murders occurred on road
running into Indianapolis.
The partner of the victim brought the body to this
city and notified the police of the occurrence.
The explanation is that some rival discouraging
competition shot through his automobile as he was
driving from Chicago with carload of LIQUOR for this
city.
That method of enforcing law did not win the prize
recently offered by millionaire for the best method
OF enforcing law 1t might have been considered For
IL seems that about the only person who can really
discover the bootlegger in his business is another
bootlegger
Just why it happens that the rivals can ALWAYS
illo Cne so-caIled rum-runners and officials never
discover them is one of the modern mysteries
IL may be taken as certain that this was not the
nrsC trip OF the victim and his partner
IL may also be set down as more certain that tbev
are not the only persons engaged in bringing alcohol
ana whisky from Chicago and other points of distri
button. '''--
IL is matter Of common knowledge that the sim
ply IS apparently plentiful.
Why does it happen that the hiiacker is the
only to knowP
What is happening to the staff of prohibition
agents. the state police, the officers in everv citv the
sheriffs along the wayq
booueg murders leave much to be explained be-
SoeS the identity of the particular hiacker who SIM
pressed competition.

Saving the Babies

The United States continuing in the good work of
cutting down its infant mortality rate according to
Miss Grace Abbott, chief the chidren's bureau of
the United States department of labor The rate last
year-sixty five deaths per thousand live births-was
the lowest in the country's history.
Lest relax efforts however, Miss Abbott
points out that no state in the Union has yet sue
ceeded in getting the rate as low as New Zealand,
where only thirty per 1000 The best record
Is held by oregon, with rate Of fortyeight. Idaho
and Washington are tied for second with fifty and
Nebraska Minnesota, Utah, Iowa, Kansas, New York,
Wisconsin, Indiana and Connecticut follow in the
order named.
The lowering of the rate, Miss Abbott reports is
nunquestonably associated with the general improve
inent in public health the establishment of child

A S pointed out by Ira S. Vile in
IA a recent discussion of lying as
a social pheonmenon the command
ment not to lie appears in almost
every formulated religious and ethi-
cal system.
There have been liars, however,
since man began to record human
activities. Liars vary in ability from
Ananias, Cellini, and Baron Mum
chausen to those individuals who
are so completely honest that every
one knows they lie in the slightest
venture into untruth.
Among several savage tribes lying
is condoned, and in some tribes and
racial groups the children are
taught to lie as useful social &C
complishment.
Our own society sanctions a Ger
tain amount of lying or eXaggera-
ton, to use a more polite term, ev-
cry one taking it for granted that
certain advertising statements or
claims relative to certain definite
discount.
Our social scheme demands a
large amount of adaptation of the
individual to the group and to the
demands made upon him. In hui

TINE great strides we have made

and especially during the last CEN
fury, can be credited TO nothing so
distinctly as unrestrained education
Ever since modern colleges and uni
versities were established, and more
particularly since the public school
came into existence. educators have
been left comparatively free to work
out the problem.
The atmosphere of he American
schoolroom, even more. perhaps
than the teaching in it, has given
education a practical meaning in
this country, has made it the basis
of rapid progress and has inspired
millions Of boys and girls to do
what they could to add to the sum
total of human knowledge.

Reason

THERE'S a suggestion of rivalry
l. between Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.
Hoover in the formers suggestion
that the farm relief bill be passed
during the closing days of his adj
ministration.
During a Presidents first term he
worries about his second term and
during his second term he worries
about his place in history"
When the farmer thinks how
long it has taken the government
to give him relief, he should find
comfort in the thought that it took
the same government twenty-five
years to give the Wright brothers
the distinguished flying cross and
only one of them lived to get it.
The former kaiser's sister who
married the Russian dancer says
she's not going to get divorce, but

What she uogh ito do is to get the
divorce and come over here and go

Speaking of the kaiser, it's said
he resolved to let his whiskers grow
until he was recalled to the throne,
but he never can hope to overtake
those American patriots who re-
solved in 1896 to let their whiskers
grow until Bryan was elected Presi-
dent.

F arm Relief

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE has let
Il it be known that he would like
to have a farm relief measure
passed at the regular session. Pro-
ponents of farm relief admit that
this could be done. but suspect that
President Coolidge would be I'M
willing to sign as liberal a measure
as would Hoover. They would like
to see the measure go over and a
special session called as early as
possible after the fourth of March.
Meanwhile, Hoover has promised to
call special session in the spring
If farm relief failed at this session.
Under the circumstances, it looks
as though farm relief would be
killed by its friends, if not its
enemies for this session and that
Hoover would be compelled to re-
deem his promise.

HOOVER

4 cuts short his good will trip
in order that he may hurry home
and patch up rows in Washington.
Just one more grim reminder of
the size of the job he has under
taken, and of the similarity of hu-
man nature, regardless of time or
place.
Blessed are the peacemakers, "
says the Good Book, "for they shall
inherit the earth" They shall, in
deed. There is no spot or place
where their services can be dis
pensed with for any great length Of
time.
Wherever you find three or more
people dwelling together you can be
sure that a peacemaker will be need
ed sooner or later. Our one hope
consists in the possibility that the
tribe may multiply until it repre-
sents a sufficient minority to take
care Of its inheritance.

Be Brief

CTILL I do hold against the great
- and near-great among the -
simistic crew that it takes theIf
confoundedly long to spread
wares before us Surely if s.
intends to say that there is 49,
or that all is vanity he ought to Be
able to record that belief in some-
thing less than two volumes.
From what quarter do the cele-
brants of tutility draw inspiration
for their efforts? If life is all a
sham and worthless, why bother to
announce the fact in a novel of 400
pages? A man must live, but not
beyond the point where he's pre-
pared to toss in a towel.
In spite of surface indications TO
the contrary, I think that this CEN
fury of ours will go down in subse-
quent history as an age in which
defeatism began to dwindle. The
era, I believe, will belong to Or.
Freud.
Very possibly the medical profess
sion eventually will decide that his
technique never was any good for
headaches or for ricketts,. His phA
losophy will endure long after all FsV
course to his treatments has beenl
abolished.
Much against his wishes, Freud
finally will become canonized and be
accepted as the prophet of a new
religion. 1t will, OF course, be a
variant Of an old religion.
The time is already ripe to found
a fellowship of Freudian Christians.
But the world cannot afford tokne
much moved by his inhibiti rs.
After all, he has never been psyche
analysed. Certainly it has not been
his supreme privilege to sit at the
feet of DR.. Freud.
Even though he may deny it, the
little man has made momentoGs
contribution to all OF us who think
that something may be made of the
world and that it can in a somc-
what literal ay be Transformed
into the Kingdom of God. That
particular phrase l choose to use
as a precise synonym for the
Brotherhood Of Nan.
And every sLheme Of revolution
to which I ever listened has de-
pended upon a plan of eleyakIne

neoks of others.

Shows of YeSteryear

A ND what can the columnist do
IA about this? Precisely nothing.
The people who assert that he has
fallen off lamentably from early
promise have nothing specific in
mind. Ask them what the poor
wretch ever did which seemed to
them so glowing and they can not
tell you.
There is nothing so dead as
dead column. Even last months
newspaper article lies buried deep
and in eternal sleep. Possibly the
theory of disintegration lies on the
mere assumption that the fellow
can not always have been as dull as
he is now.
This from experience / deny. All
the columnists I know go on in
pretty much the same way. The
quality Of Staleness lies not in the
writer but the reader.
After span Of years I suspect
that the public is rather more tired
than the columnist. He eth cries

subscribers don't want any more

If this seems a reflection of a
gloomy mood blame most of 1t on
Aldous Huxley This young Britisher
who writes like an inspired angel
and digs at humanity like an active
demond with a pitchfork is con-
WINGED that life is all futility.
1 like to read his novels even
though resent him. After a long
and faithful attendance upon the
work of Huxley, I feel that he has
been too intent upon the black
keys.
I would deny to no writer the
privilege of saying that everything
is for the worst in a no account
world Maybe life is futile. How
can l tell? l haven't had 1t all as
yet.
Swift mixed no sweetness with his
light and Shakespeare has his mo-
