It is a mistake to sup^MMo that u man I is made boiu*sl by being compelled to . to swear to whut he says. A dislionot j ra-cal d«K*s not often hesitate to make ! oath to anything that suits bis convenience, unless he ^feurs prosecution for |H»rjury, which is g«*tting to be vory rare. It's only an empty form, he says, which means nothing. Even very reputable ineiKoo carted, seem to liave that notion about an officitd oath, and will take tlio ^imnftad" form now required of all who hold office, with y»crfect calmues^ in spite of the fact that the eh^ction coat them teu times tlio amount of the legitimate oxjienscs. The undoubted tendency of this multiplication of oaths is to lessen their ' force and chea]>eii them in the public regard. Even now, not oue-«|linrter of thom ore administered in full legal form, and it seems tous that they are le.« nnd less seriously regurded every year. For the transaction of ordinary business, a man's word is just as good as bis oath, and in the nngnrity of ease* the signature : of an official is equally valiuiblo and ( binding with the most gravely uttered "Vou do solemnly swear.'* Lot tin* oaths 'oe made fewer ami their administration when inquired more solemn, and one dqtyrahle reform will 1 »«- under way.
