NOT SO EA8I. J50W v
"It's as easy as lying," said Hamlet
Lying once was easy. It Is not so
easy now. There are wonderful means
ond Instruments of detections. Ly
ing therefore has become a most dif
ficult expedient. A thousand agencies
and Instruements tend now to catch
even the most ingenious person In
Mb attemut at deception. It is due
to. the spread of general Intelligence
The general Intelligence comes a
bout through a multitude of modern
agencies. Universal ubc of printing
and tlie mutlplleatlon of books, the
newspapers scattering daily a great
variety of Information that the gener
al mind asimllBtes and compares;
the telegraph and the telephone, pho
tography and the use of phonography,
and the railroads and electric train
service and the rural mall delivery
all these things make lying difficult
and to detect it when ,lt attempted.
Morals, therefore, are advanced to
a higher baBla. It Is useless to say
that there is ' more deception than
formerly for there isn't "Be sure your
sin will find you out," was an old ap
horism, but it wasn't as true In old
tlmeH as It is now. The time was
when Doctor Cook could have forced
his fraudulent pretences on the pub
lic for truth But the .false pretender
of the modern times Is having more
trouble. There Is less . difficulty In
"seeing through him." Abraham pre
tended to . Pharoah that Sarah wns
his slBter, not his wife, and he fooled
Pharoah much longer than that expe
dient would fool any body now. The
great fame land celebrity of Odysses
ub, throughout the Homeric poems,
arose from the poet's representation
or the hero as the most accomplished
liar of the times. Driven Into corners.
Tile always extricated himself by
plausible fiction. Lying was the great
eBt of accomplishments, and. the poet
delights In telling howthe hero was
always successful. The skill on one
occasion may serve as an example fo
all of the rest; when he--"With
unembarrassed readiness re
turned ,
Not truth, but fiction to truth op
: poslte. ,
For guile In hl;u stood never nt a
pause."
But lying In these days is not so
The Candy or the picture
ThA influences that, the moving
-1
picture Is said to have upon the man
ners and customa are numerous. To
read what Is said by, ene set of peo
t,hi ibe picture Is sending the Juv-
loUt':p4rt of the population to per'
! cr io rti said by f.n-
othef set of people it Is one of the
greatest uplifting force of the tlrar
Of course, neither party Is correct
Speaking generally the children arr
none the worse for . seeing the pict
ures f they are of good quality. They
are amused and Intertained and vei
often Instructed; they are neither
better or worse "for looking at
good moving picture than they arc
for looking at a good stationary one
In short, most of what is said about
the influence of the moving plrtur
upon young people is largely conject
ural and JournaleBe. Evidence anc

Juonce that the moving pictures hiivo

of the facts and figures are supplied
,n a recent Issue of the Confectioner
Review. According to this esteeme
vat ing candles and are spending thel
money for the moving pictures. The
iitiote facts In support of its content
ion. A jobber knows of many small
retail dealers who have suffered
heavily whose trade in fact, has
completely disappeared. A broke
tells of a number of stores having
ione out of business; "Some salesmen
assert that the picture ls( cutting lute
to all classes of the candy business.
Another authority quote cases where
the candy stores have lost as much
as 70 per cent of their trade when a
moving picture show moved next
door. The fact then seems to be be
yond dispute thai a great deal of the
Juvenile money la diverted from the
candy store to the moving picture
show.
Is this change of the juvenile habit
to be approbated or is it to be depre
cated? Of course the seller of the
candies says It is to be deprecated.
The owner of the moving picture
show on the other hand says It is
to be approbated. But which is best
for the children, canules or pictures?
It would be Interesting to know
whether the great candy manufactur
ers, such as Huyler's, The Mirror and
others, can trace any falling off of
their business to the Inroad of the
moving picture. Probably not the
consumption of candies amongst
girls and .women, who eats these
things with discretion not being lia
ble to dlmnnlon by such causes as
the popularity of the moving plctur
