being a liar is to offer him the last possible indig nity because it lavs at his door the most despicable of crimes a crime which involves total demoralization there was a time when it resulted in i duel and if a duel ought to be fought it is upon such a charge a man that is a liai deserves to be shot it any man does to make the charge is to attempt to do the man the great est injury possible it is tlie most despicable of crimes because a liar is a coward a knave and a fool he is a coward because he loes not dare to face the results of facts of his own creating he is a knave because he attempts to gain ends by false pretence he is a fool because he does not see that if all men were liars society would be hurled into a hell of anarchy there is no defence for it it is not witty nor
