The Difference Between Cheatii^
in Public, and Cheating in
Private. ^1
F. P. Dunne, writing the "Interpret
er's house" in the American Magazine,
saysinpart:^
"What we have to'do is to make peo
ple feel that political dishonesty fa as
disgraceful as private hishonesty to
force upon men who regard themseiVes
as leaders of human progress-the con
viction that they, must play the game
fairly, and that briDe-giving and bribe
taking areassbameful as forging notes,
or cheating at cards, or pulling a hone
in a^race. Of course, there is no com
parison between the crimes. A man
who would slip an ace up his sleeve or
bribe a jockey to put a horse in a pocket
is a gentlemanly sportsman compared
with the man who will sow corruption
through the whole body of a commun
ity in order to gain an untair advan
tage in the game of politics. Y"et de-^
cent people who will shun a black lei
of the race-course or the card-tablo wi!
not hesitate to take their dinner pub
licly In the company of a man who is
avowedly corrupt in his relations with
the Govern ment.
