Political reputation is .more a pre-
cious thing than a young working girl's
purity, or that of her who is dependant
on the Senator for her place in the de-
partment to earn her own and her wid-
owed mother's bread. Sophomore honor
in football is a fine sentimentbu so
is truth in the monthly account drawn
on father, or regard for a mother's
wishes in health or morals. Many a
lawn tennis player would perish before
would cheatye the photographs
of actresses displayed the mantle
up in that college room, lacking in de-
cency, suggest a mind stenchful with
the foulest personal dishonor.
This delicate sensibility has to
cultivated in an all-round development,
or a man will caught napping and
display his baseness of secret heart
Honor is clean thinking, pure imagina-
tions, untarnished day dreams, air cas-
tles with a spotless hero and a chaste
heroine. Honor is refinement, illumin-
ated the moral sense, it is culture
ruled God Holy law of what is
right and wrongi is good taste ex-
tended to matters ethical, which
questions of dress and the fashion in
behavior are but the street gate and
outside door. Honor is the elegance of
justice, the grace and ornament of buy-
ing and selling. I is so superb a senti-
ment of the heart that phrase de-
scribes it. W are most conscious of
honor in its wounding, know
are ashamed and suffering, look far
up to the heights of the opposite de^
light, and wish stood theie again.
