ordinary affairs Of life, loyalty is
moral rather than a legal obligation
There are laws which prevent man
from stealing from his employer OF
his business associates, but there is
no law that requires him to be loyal
to them. The success Of a business
institution. however, depends more
upon the loyalty of its employees than
upon the laws which prevent them
from stealing its money. Likewise the
stability of a government depends
more upon the loyalty of its people
than upon the laws which compel them
to fulfill their obligation to the gov.
eminent.
1t is equally true that the prosperity
and growth of every individual COM
munity is dependent upon the loyalty
of the people who live in It. Every
citizen owes an obligation to his COM
munity, and the obligation is a moral
as well as a legal one. The good citi.
zen pays his taxes cheerfully and
willingly. He serves upon the juries
which administer the laws Of the com
munity. He fulfills every legal obi
CATION that is imposed upon him by
his government, but there is moral
obligation which is of still greater i'm.
portance TO the community. This
moral obligation consists in doing
everything that is in his power to
promote the prosperity and happiness
of his community. The man who is
enabled to make his living in any COM
munity is under a moral obligation to
spend his money in such a way as to
help his community.
Prosperity Worth Protecting.
Anything worth having is worth pro-
tecting, and if the prosperity of
community is worth anything to the
people living in it it is worth protect.
ing. If the chance for a man to earn
q good living, to live well, to give his
children a good education, is worth
anything, it is worth protecting.
There is just one way to protect
the prosperity of a community, and
that is TO keep the community from
being drained OF its cash-working
capital. The only way TO do that is
for the people of the community to
keep their money at home. Every
time the citizen of a community sends
money away from home to mail or
der house instead of spending it in
his home stores he is disloyal to his
community. 1t is disloyaliy to the mer-
chants only indirectly. It is disloyalty
to the community of which the mer-
chants are only q small but very
important part.
This is the moral obligation that
every citizen owes TO his community,
just as the payment of taxes and the
loyal support of his government are
his legal obligations. Disloyalty OF
q large body of the citizens spells dis
aster to any government and disloy-
atty of any large part of the people
to their community is followed inev-
itably by the downfall of the commu-
nifty. Self-interest. If nothing else,
should convince every citizen of the
ACCESSIBILITY of fulfilling his moral OBJ
bKation to his community.

Business Men After Big $780,.
900 Soap Factory.
Observation-Disclosures to Come to
the'Capital City.
DELEGATION TO VISIT PLANT
Now Located in Another City in
State, 1t Is Said.
Yearly Production Amounts to
More Than 100000.

"A 100000 soap factory probably
will be brought to Topeka, within
the next few months, according to the
announcement today of a reliable To-
peka business man.
Several Topeka men are interested
At present they are not ready to dis
close the details of their plans. How
ever, they say. there is a soap factory
in kansas that can be brought to this
city.
The managers of the firm desire to
locate in Topeka for several reasons.
| They consider Topeka a better bust
ness city than the one in which they
are located No better rlilroad ia
cilities can be offered by any city in
! the state. Local packing houses are
! also an important consideration. A
! large amount of raw material used in
the manufacture of their products is
obtained from packing houses. Salts
! factory arrangements with local pack
ing houses would result beneficially to
the packing house and to their own
! factory. The firm believes that it can
| increase its output three times the
present production after location in
Topeka. The business disadvantages
! of their present location are numer-
GUS, it is declared.
| TopclaFls To Visit Plant.
A delegation oe Topeka men has ar
ranged to visit the plant next week in
an effort to close the deal that has
been hanging fire for a number of
months. Considering the desire of the
owners of the factory to locate in To-
peka, they are firmly convinced they
will be able to influence decision to
move the plant to Topeka.
! They believe the approximate value
of the plant to be 100000. To their
knowledge, it manufactures a yearly
production worth more than 100000
A hundred or more persons are en-
| pIoyed. The factory is entirely solv-
cnt, is operating at a profit. and is a
! good sound business, they declare.

the factory and a looking forward into
the future. have influenced the owners
to believe that their best move is tc

sition will be announced soon, If ar
