The Chicago American a few days

Il no longer desires to find itself In
the position OF encouraging In one
column the consumption of what II
believes to be q deleterious drug that

striction than morphine or cocaine,
while In another column II advised
its readers to shun the evil and made
plain its reasons for giving such ad-
vice.
The position taken by the Chicago
American Is the only tenable one 1t
could take and be consistent. Some
publishers have asserted that when
they accept the advertisements OF ar
ticles that are popularity considered
Objectionable or harmful, they do not
assume any responsibility for any Ill
effect that may follow their use by

they are not immoral or relate to ar

A 9nickened Business Conscience

deed II may be said that during the
last two years there has been q re-
markable quickening Of the business
conscience, not only In the counting
rooms Of newspapers, but also In
those OF commercial and manufactur-
ing concerns.
What has brought about this
change? Are the publishers less
anxious to break advertising records
and pay dividends? Are we approach
ing the millennium
Whatever forces have been At work
to Impress upon the publishers
realization OF their moral responsible
ties, II must be admitted that the one
that has exerted the greatest In
1uence has been the organized bodies
OF the advertising men OF America,
which have found expression In the
work Of their vigilance committee.
Within two years there has been
"a great house-cleaning time In the
columns OF the newspapers. Adver-

That stone-cutter can do more

nine, and In seven hours than he does
in eight, is the serious contention OF
the proprietor OF one OF the largest
stone quarries in Vermont, who has
kept efficiency records on his quarry
for a period of 80 years. These facts
were presented TO the committee on
labor by Samuel Gompers In letter
which was read into the record a
courle of days ago. Mr.. Duncan, the
proprietor OF the quarry, reviewed the
history OF his business concern In
the matter OF the shortening day. He
said he found the men worked much
more efficiently when they had a
shorter day. The rest. the recreation,
or other reasons were sufficient TO
bring about the apparently anon
alous result of more work in less
time under exactly the same condi-

test in the following statement;
He says that the Japanese are

fast and that they live un-American
lives. He says they have no religion
worthy of the name, that they have
no holidays or rest days, that they

marry them. Once they obtain
influence over a white woman she
