BUSINESS AND POLITICS

| If the higher criticism is rapidly
depriving the modern pulpit of the
rhetorical uses of a pertinent devil,
an adequate substitute seems to have
been found in certain clerical con-
ceptions OF the politician and the bust
ness man. 1t was hoped by those the
oogicaI revOlutionists who worked so
hard TO overthrow his satanic males
ty that with his Punishment would
come an era in which the gospel or
love and hope would replace that
based on threats and fear.
With the vast and sane majority or
preachers this change has taken place.
but there are others who simply must
have some one to abuse, and, since
the devil is no longer available. they
chose what they consider TO be his
prototype: the business man and the
politician.
Now. there are some politicians and
business men who deserve the last
adjective of these hysterical clerics,
but it is time to object when virtually
all are included in the denunciation.
There must be a preponderance OF
honesty even in business or II would
collapse. Modern commercial meth
DDS are based upon credit, and credit
in the last resort is based upon the
honesty of those who receive it.
Signatures, contracts and other le-
gal documents are but mechanlcal de-
vices called into prominence only In
the small percentage of cases in which
thew are repudiated The bank clear
ings of a city like San Francisco run
into more than fifty millions a week,
of which sum by far the greater
amount consists of checks and credit
notes. Against this, the average OF
bad paper is a sum too small FOR con-
sideration. though, for one who reads
the clearing statistics, thousand
read and are shocked by the story
of the man who passes bogus check-
As a class. business men are not
corrupt. Notwithstanding the imph-
cation of Mr. r. Z. Shepherd when
addressing the Sunday school conven-
ton. That gentleman told his hearers
this. TT is corrupt business men
who bride councilmen. make American
politics corrupt and make America
the laughing stock Of the whole
world
To this sort of statement English
writer's apply the very apt, II some
what coarse, description, crying
sinking fish," and those who are
given to il are known as the STINK
ing fish party" The epithet is brutal
and offensive, but it is deserved.
Had Mr. Shepherd confined nm
self to the remark that some polite
ians are corrupt. that those who are
ca are sometimes the tools of some
business men. he would have been
stating n truth as applicable to Amer
ica as TO other countries, but no more
so. There was graft and corruption
in antiquity and there is graft and
all round the globe today
No country has a monopoly and no
country is exempt.
If it were the purpose OF TINS aru-
Gle. it could be shown that in the
matter of political corruption America
has not yet learned all that the rest
of the world has to teach upon the
subject. An Englishman upon land
ing in this country was heard to re-
mark: Thank God. l am in a land
where gold is the only thing that buys
a politician" He knew that men
could be bought for worse payments
than money, and that If there were
to be any buying ii was well that
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1911-07-03

every one should know the medium
Of exchange.
If Mr.. Shepherd is anxious to get
to the bottom of things, why stop at
the business man? Why not go still
deeper to that quality in men which
is not a preserve of the commercial
delinquent? However, since his pc
culiar type of rhetoric demands a
scapegoat, and the devil having gone
out of business. perhaps the business
man will do as well as any other. but
as an American he should drop the
"stinking fish cry" that we are worse
than others.-San Francisco Chroni-

''al 'ne cotton growers OF the South

a larger average yield per acre than
IN 1919 for each Southeastern state

Georgia having shown a falling off Of :
