Honesty and Dishonesty To the Killtor of the JSt'rnliio Public l.cdoer: Sir- Through your People's Korum column t would like to nddress a communication In answer to a letter recently printed on "Cause . nd t'ure of Crime," This Is a subject In which every one should be Interested. I may In looked upon as oort of out of clnte In my Mras. but when I was a boy crime, waves were unknown because In those days we 4lld not worship money the way It Is wor Hluped today, A "nood spender" was not ,cll"d a "cood fellow" In those days, but spomiinriii. Anotner modern idea that mi to be tho cause of much trouble Is lie fact that the people are always try nc to leJuc" the number of hours they will hme to work, and with bleeer pay for the ; .! hours. In my youth economy was considered a i me and work a necessity. All hands, minis and old. worked. Tho unsophisticated piit)l" of those days believed that work had Its moral as well as Its financial value. Tliy bld that "Labor la Worship" and thjt "Idleness Is a Crime." . TVn all know that In time of enforced 'A eness of large bodies of people wc have i nts, street brawls, domestic ouarrela and all forms of lawlessness. Should Ihe lime ir come when tho pcoplo will work only ' hours and loaf tho rest of the day. no ( , v could have a stronir enough ppllco force tn keep .It In order. All of the labor agi tation on earth can never make human na ture other than what' It Is, nor 'make Idle rM anything but the mother of vice. There Is a pent-up eneriry In human kind. which. If It cannot expand Itself In a w.iv tut Is beneficial to society, will expand t;f In a way that Is hirmful . This mod ern endeavor to get out of the world more timn we put Into It would lead not only tn financial bankruptcy, but to moral bank ruptcy also. The difference between an honest man end a dishonest one is that the honest man snts to ;et his llvlmt by the sweat of Kellers to the Editor should bo as brief and to the point as possible, voiding anything that would oen a dpnomlintlonnl or sectarian discus sloii, No attention will he paid to anon ymous lotters. Names and. ad dresses must he signed as an evi dence of good faith, although names will not bo printed If request Is madij that they ho omitted. The nuhllcatlott of a letlcr Is not lo be taken as an Indorsement of Its -views by this paper. Communications will not ho re turned unless accompanied by post age, nor will mnntucrlpt be sascd, Poems and Songs Desired ntclllKcnee should glvo any credence to this hypocritical fnlso prophet ' Militant," Whether hmocrltlcnl knavo or foolish virgin, tho remark of "MltltaM" aro so oxtreme and unrepresentative of any ono but himself that they aro nut worth more attention than a smile of pity or contempt. If "Mrs. M. xt.' has uny righteous Indig nation to spare let her turn It looao upon tho "bHthorsklte" governor of a neighbor ing state, who, In bis "egotism, sheer Im pudence and effrontery," thought the polltl cal booso crowd of bis state, temporarily In power, were mlgbtlir than the uovern ment at Washington, and boastfully pro clnlmed tint ho would make his state "as wet as tho Atlantic ocean." May a Just Providence savo our beloved country from falllnir bock Into tho hands of tiese booite-eoaked lawbreaklng fanatics, whoso blearv ces see a dozen keyholes where there Is only one. , .
