when you were just starting in life. in CONNER
cial life, you were told that honesty was not
marketable. that though you might sell all
the goods In the shop you must not
sell your conscience. that while you were
10 exercise all industry and tact, you
were not to sell your conscience-if you
were taught that gains gotten by SIN
were combustibc and 1T the mo-
ment OF ingnition would be blown
on by tue breath OF God until oil the splendid
estate would vanish into white ashes scattered

are hundreds OF commercial establishments IN
our grca, cities which are educating class oil
young men who will be the honor OF the lana
and there are other establishments which are
educating young men TO be nothing but sharpers
What chance Is there for young man who was
taught In On establishment that II is right 10
lic IL II is smart. and that French label Is al
that is necessary TO make u thing French and
that you ought always 10 be honest when II
pays. and that II is wrong to steal unless you
do it weil' Suppose, now Il young man lusl
starting In life, enters place OF that kline
where there are ten young men, all drilled II
the Infamous practices Of the establish

man has no theory Of commercial ethics
Where is he to get his theory? He will get the
theory from his employers One day he pushes
his wit little beyond what the cstal lishmen'
demands Of him. and he flccccs a customer un
til the clerk is on the verge OF being seized by
the law. What is done in the establishment
He Is not arraigncd. The head OF the estab
lishment says to HIM Nov, be careful; be
careful, young man. YOU might be caught but
really that was spIendidly done: you will gel
along in the world, warrant you" Then tina
young man goes up until he becomes head
clerk. He has found there is u premium on in
EQUITY.
One morning the employer comes to the es
adjustment He goes into the counting room
and throws up, his hands and shouts, why
the safe has been robbed" What is the mat
teri Nothing. nothing; only the clerk who ha'
been practising good while on customers 1.

principle introduced into that establishment
1t is poor rule that will not work both ways
You must never steal unless you can do II well
