The following editorial was
printed in the Pottsville Journal of
May Is:
A Great American

Have you noticed how reluctant we are
to impute good intentions to man and,
particularly, business man?
When there is shown what appears to be
evidence Of unselfshness we scrutinize it
cynically, seeking for the esoteric design.
Hes up to something" we say sagely,
"now what is it," That he may be actually
acting unselfshly is thought we put be-
hind US with showing of something almost
like irritation.
When John Wanamaker announced his
twenty per cent deduction sale in order to
bring down the price of wearing apparel
the cynics and the scoffers smiled knowingly.
Late season." they said, "the old fox wants
to turn his goods into money; he needs the
money for next season." These same
people made no effort later to account for
the fact that stores almost as large as
Wanamaker's did not fall in with the sale,
but continued to sell their goods at almost
the former high prices. If the lateness of
the season affected Wanamaker would it
not be a natural presumption that it would
affect these stores also? If Wanamaker
had not started the thing would there have
been such a sweeping reduction at this time
or would it have been held off until some
time in early summer, after many, many
people had been forced to buy clothes at
high prices?
Wanamaker says he acted in order to
break high prices. Why should we not be-
lieve him? Mr.. Wanamaker has done many
fine things in his life; he has been NUM-
fcent in his gifts to charity; he has stood
always for high type of citizenship; dur
ing the war his purse was wide open for
Uncle Sam to reach in and take out gobs of
gold. Why should we not suppose that Mr..
Wanamaker was actuated by the highest
motives in putting on his sale? 1t is the
belief of some people, too many people we
fear, that this is time to make money by
hook or crook, and that the man who does
not do it is dub, or something of that
sort.
We sincerely believe that Mr.. Wana-
makers big purpose was to stir up the con-
scousness of the people who would turn
business into a sort of raid on the means
of the citizen. From the reports that come
from all over the country we should say he
has succeeded in his purpose. Let us with
hold from him not an iota Of the praise he
deserves Would to God we had more
Americans like him.
