The Business Sinner
Reading many things into the term
SINNER" Douglas F. Malloch of Chi
cago, poet and former newspaper
man, spoke to the North Dakota
Bankers association here today. Mr..
Mallock was one Of the two speakers
on non-banking subjects before the
convention.
Mr.. Mallock, discussing business
sinners, declared them to be the liar,
the crouch. the pessimist, the quitter,
the loafer, and the field for work. For
GOOD measure, he added at the end
another sinner, the man who talks too
much, saying that mans head is like
u strangers valise, people would not
l:now how little there is in it if he
wasn't always opening it. ,...,. !.
Gossip, the speaker described as
the submarine of conversation, and
expressed the belief that the female
Of the species is more deadly than the
male is all wrong. "God deliver us
from the man gossip" he said. "We
ought to believe in gossip less and
men more. We ought to listen to
every evil report and then say it is a
lie. God Almighty hates quitter,
and he quits a hater."
