RELIGION AS AN ASSET
IN BUSINESS, DISCUSSED
DR.. Abram Simon, at Eighth Street
Temple, Talks About So

II am looking for the time when
superdreadnaughts will become super

Rabbi Abram Simon in an address at
last nights service at the Eighth
Street Temple. celebrating the twelfth
anniversary of his connection with the
Washington Hebrew congregation.
Religion and Business" was the sub
ject of Dr. Simon's address. After Civ
ing a brief history Of the Jewish peo-
pie in their relation to the business
world. DR.. Simon said, in part:
Social legislation shows that a com
plete change is coming over the world
of commerce and religion Business is
begetting a soul The conscience of
the commercial world is becoming
adolescent.
But. in order that this change may
increase in momentum. the pulpit must
give it's first seal of recognition to
the great problems of the day.
NO business man. be he Jew or Cen
tile. en- reach the pinnacle of success
unless he is in partnership with God.
We must think of social salvation and
not of personal salvation. and business
and religion must lock arms if We do
not want an absolute divorce between

FOR THE STEVENS BILL.
Appeal for Measure for Honest
Merchandising"

To the Editor of The Star:
l am taking the liberty Of addressing
you on new subject which is of vital
interest to nine hundred and ninety
nine Of every thousand of our popula-
ton l refer to the Stevens bill. which
was introduced in Congress February
u. 1914 The object of this measure
is to further the interest of honest
merchandising. and the beneficiarfes
will be the honest merchant and the
general public.
The measure is aimed to prohibit dis
honest advertising and subterfuge in
the method OF merchandising, as prac-
ticed by certain mail order houses and
chain store systems, who gain prestige
by Offering cut prices on few stand
ard, advertised articles of known value
and qualify their offer by recommend
ing another similar article of inferior
grade and doubtful value. This is the
whole secret of their success, and it
plainly depends on the ignorance of the
public as to the real quality of the
recommended substitute and the gull
bility of the people.
The manufacturer who makes a prod
uct or an article of high standard and
gives il "A name or brand by which il is
known and identified has now no pro-
lection from the practices of the cut
rate artist, who proceeds to create the
impression that the article or product
is overrated and that his cut rate price
represents the real value.
1t Is a fallacy TO assume that the
price cutter pockets the loss. The pub
lie makes il up, and more, too. on other
purchases on which the value is not
known and established.
The stevens bill proposes to protect
the consumer and the small merchant
alike by creating a square-deal-to-
everybody system. and the bill should
receive the support of every fair-minded
man.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce aHd boards of trade throughout
the country have Endorsed the measure
and the only opposition is from the big
interests. monopolies and mail order
houses.
