It Pact been asserted in rertaln quarters that the missionaries wera largely re- 1 sponsible for the fioxer outbreak; that they had no business In China; that they taught a religion obnoxious r<* (he Chi nese, and that their very presence was disagreeable o fha natives. "This charge," says the Rev. Judwon Smith, foreign aecretary of the American Hoard of Commlns toners, "strikes hack to One who brought a heavenly glory to the I earth which rejwid him with a cross and a crown of tborne, und charges him with folly, and seems to cover with shame the brightest pages of Christian history, the | noblest names upon the bcadrutt of Ull age*. ’• Secretary Smith points out that the mla- ' etonnrle* were hi Chin* with China’s , knowledge and consent, enjoying plainly , stipulated treaty rtghta.

Are women untruthful? Io they qualify their regard for veracity as It applies to theme elves? The questions are rather blunt, and are calculated to arouse In stant resentment on the part of the fair reader.

It Is safe to assume, classes herself among the exceptions, and lonabteci therefore that she has * right to criticise those of the majority. Tho critic In the case Is Miss Dora Goldthwalte, of Near York. At a meeting of the Rainy I>ay Club In the Carnrgle iiulldlng In that city recently she said, among other things: "Women regard truth adjecttvely aial believe It ratable of positive, romp-arwltve and superlative degrees. The fault Is not really In the woman, you know, but In the idea. It la not so much their Intention to deceive as their desire not to *nfffrid Rather than aay something disagreeable they resort to a half truth, which la often worse than a downright taradiddle." It could be hoped that Mias Goldthwallc had gone on to elucidate the full meaning of the new noun, "taradiddle." In the lack of such elucidation, however, and consblcrlng the connection In which the word la used.

If one (annot say any thing good, it Is better to rav nothing at all " It Is the desire of womankind to please, especially the op posite sex In the effort to l>e agreeable, the woman feels that she must keep talk ing all the time, and In the exhubcrance of speech she makes statements that arc not true. Tills," says Misa Ooldthwaltc, "Is by no means wholly applicable to club women, but to women as a whole. Wo want to take truth, not half truth, for our standard, and to cultivate the gift of silence." This Is a matter upon which the wise mm. who knows when to keep his mouth shut, will refrain from expressing an optnloti Naturally hla gallantry, would suggest to him to take issue with Miss Goldlhwalte; hut since she Is a woman and therefore haa tho advantage in knowlesige of her subject, she might be able to convict any male controversialist of the superlative taradiddle.

This Is a question that would seem to demand the earnest attention of sociologists and law makers even to tha exclusion of others. many|of which are far lean Important Crime la our most expensive luxury, ac cording to figure* presented by Mr. Eu gene Smith, a New Y'ork lawyer, before the recent Congress of the National Prison Association in Cleveland. Mr Smith makes the startling statement that the criminal classes of the t'nlled Stales coat the people annually more than |(M>.- OUO.OOO, a sum greater than the value of the entire cotton crop, or of the wheat crop, a sum that Is far In excess of the total animal rxpcn.xqp of tha national gov ernment. It Is calculated that of this vast sum. one-third, used In the prevention and jam tsbroent of crime, ta raised by taxation.

Tha total city, county, state and federal taxation chargeable to crime la carefully estimated at i.Da.000.000, making crime, as Mr. Smith says, "by far the largest factor with which political economy has to deal." The amount Is In excess of any other DUhllc expenditure excepting that of our military establish ment in time of war. the total expendl turrs for education throughout the United States, toe item which moat near ly approaches It, being only |139.- (WO.OOO according to the census of Itti.
