I Just now the Canadian people are `receiving some painful lessons in practical ethics; They are_ having brought home to them with severe emphasis the distinction between char- acter and reputation; A man s trues character, it abundantlyappears, may be quite in "conflict with his. reputa-I tion, which is the public estimate of: him. _ Of late we have been watching reputations melt away like snow be-_ {fore the sun; and the sun in this casef is publicity.

New statutes may be needed, but statutes will not put moral principle where it does not lexist. The greed for gain and the 3greed for power have blinded men to lithe time-old distinction between right ;and wrong., Both among business men land at the bar are to be found ad- visers, countedshrewd and successful, who have substituted the penal code for the moral law as the standard of conduct. Right and wrong have giv~ en way to the subtler distinction be- tween legal, not-illegal, and illegal: or, `better, perhaps, between honest, law-honest and dishonest. This new triumph of mind over morals is bad enough in itself; but when, in addi- tion, its exponents secure material gain and professional prosperity it be- [comes a. menace to our integrity as {a people.
