One principle which every young
man starting in life will do we'll to
keep steadily before him Is that
success in business Is usually pro
portioned to the quantity and quail
ity of service rendered.
In fact. it is not too much to say
that business Ia the true sense OF
the term is service.
Sherwin Cody. in his interesting
and helpful book. How To Deal
With Human Nature in Business"
points out that an altogether differ
ent conception of business used to
prevail in olden times, and in GER
tain quarters still is held.
The medieval principle OF bust

Municipal distribution OF milk un-

revolutionary as appears on its face,
at least in the middle and eastern
states. where the whole-milk traffic
Is 80 enormous. But II is signlH-
cant of great changes that are sure
ly coming In distribution, when so
conservative a state as Little
Rhody" takes so advanced a posi-
ton. Its commission recommends,
according to Orange Judd Farmer:
/. All cattle entering the state
to be tuberculin tested, diseased
stock TO be killed and paid for at
its wholesale value as food, or at
three-quarters valuation for regis
tered stock. Better breeding, bet
ter testing. better care to produce
milk Of good quality.
2. The state TO fix regulations
under which milk shall be produced
and standards by which It shall be
graded, including pasteurized milk.
The New York standard TO be the
basis OF grades.
3. Each city OF 5000 population

routes. Thus. the one municipal de-
livery would serve ali the consum.

milk depot would be responsive 10

The Octopus and Us.

fore when we have approached the Octopus, the
critter has gently reached out one or more Of

Mr.. Britten's idea is that this heavy export
tax would lead TO the Octopus not sending
much gasoline abroad and, hence, reduce prices
to us at home.

The Democratic Trust
ev DIR. FRANh chsN-
Copyright. 1915, b. Frank Crane

d
II advances in proportion rs people
learn TO act in groups.
The big business of today is so much
more efficient than the little business OF
sixty years ago. because business men
have learned The enormous power OF CO.
operation. Tie trust is the natural de-
velopment of business.
We have not yet begun to scratch the
surface of the possibilities of organiza-
ton. The thousand groceries that sup
ply the citizens with food produce thou
sand times more wastage than if one con-
Germ managed the matter.
If the people of city would organize,
consolidate, and run their milk business
as they do their public schools, instead
of leaving it to forty competing, crisis
crossing, and irresponsible private con-
Germs they could not only get their sup
ply cheaper, but it would be Of better
quality.
Just at present we shy at this. 1t
smacks of socialism. Socialism is the
last threat of the reactionary, a mysteri-
Gus something supposed to be very for
eign and wicked.
But we are coming to more and more
perfect organization. Not by law, for,
as Buckle says, the effect of legislation
upon human progress is negligible. Laws
follow. they do not precede progress. Co
operation is so infinitely more efficient
than the competitive scramble that even
and dullest and stubbornest of stand
patters are getting to see it.
A railroad company is simply an inn
mense organization. 1t is, however, an
autocracy in the midst of democratic
people. The old poison still turks in us,
to believe that to get things done we
must have a dictator, and that the rule
of the masses means incompetency.
We have discarded that creed in poll
tics. We have had to, since the popular
government of the United States suffers
nothing from comparison with its mon
archie rivals. But We still cling to it in
business.
| AS consequence our Big Business,
while it is efficient, is wasteful and full
of injustice. Those who control our huge
business enterprises get profits out of all
proportion to their services.
! A steel company or packing concern,
for instance, makes multi-millionaires
and improves the condition of the pro-
ducers and workers but slightly, if at
all. The Fruit Growers Association of
California, on the contrary, is as well
organized as the Standard Oil Company,
but its officials and managers receive
but modest stipends, while the vast prof.
its arising from the cooperation 90 to
those who grow the fruit. 1t is demo-
cratic trust, and is as much better for
Il its members and for the consumers than
private owned trust would be, as the
government of the United States is bet
ter than that Of Russia.
Will somebody please rise and explain
why it is so easy for manipulators, mid
dlemen, and capitalists to organize, and
so hard and so "socialistic' for the pro-
ducers?

Rev. w. c. Norcross will give a labor talk next Sunday night, as an observance upon the part of his church of Labor Day. The minister states that he is often met by union men with the argument that the church is drifting away from the cause and rights of labor and does not truly represent them. This, he says, is farthest from the fact and he only asks that those who hold the cause the dearest shall give him an oppor- tunity to convince them that such is not the case, not only as regards the particular church but that of all the churches of the middle classes.
