For the Smaller Ones

CPEAKING of the dawn of the new era
~ of mergers and trusts, the United
States chamber of commerce proclaims
that the only hope of the small business
man and local manufacturer lies in work
ing harder than ever before and in stick
ing to things big corporations can't do
Undoubtedly, the trend of business is
toward big combinations and corporations
hut not many small business men will go
to sweating over the hope that lies in
advice to work harder. They are already
at it. Also, it is becoming more and more
fact that there are mighty few things
that the big corporations can't do and don't
do The trend is toward period when
multitudes of small business men or local
manufacturers will have the alternative of
being absorbed by some combination, or
satisfying themselves with limited por-
ton of profits and progress.
The killing off of competition in the
higher-up business stratum-which COM
bination means-is surely something for
the retailer and the local manufacturer to
ponder on

There Are Others

M uSKEGON, Mich, newspapers are
lVl expressing sympathy for citizen
who has been arrested for passing worth
less checks. whose wife sues for divorce
and whose auto has been taken away from
him.
Rare hard luck, to be sure, but, in this
vale of tears, no matter how numerous
and pressing ones misfortunes, there is
always some comfort in realizing that
there are others worse off. That Michi-
gan sufferer could find, upon most any
city street, many men whose checks could
not be passed, genuine or worthless; other
men whose wives prefer the sawed-off
shotgun to the divorce petition; and others
who would look upon the taking away of
their cars as positive godsend.
Verify. hard luck or good luck is largely
a matter of relatiyeness. There is much
crueler fate than being safe in Jail, with
out critical wife, or used car.

an applicant walks in upon the head of the

a college selection of blasphemy might be
particularly impressive. This, not to en-

MO GOVERNMENT ought to be with

free none ever will,
am for freedom of the press, and
against all violations of the constitution
TO silence by force and not by reason, the
complaints or criticisms just or unjust, of
our citizens against the conduct of their
agents.
Conscious that there was not truth
on earth which | feared should be known,
] have lent myself willingly as the sub
iect of great experiment, which was to
prove that an administration, conducting
itself with integrity and common under
standing, cannot be battered down, even
by the falSehoodS of licentious press, and
consequently still less by the press, MS
restrained within legal and wholesome
restraints of truth.
This experiment was wanting for the
world to demonstrate the falSehood that
freedom of the press is incompatible with
orderly government
| have never, therefore, even contra
dicted the thousands of calumnies so indus
triouSly propagated against myself. But
the fact being once established, that the
press is impotent when it abandons itself
to falsehood, | leave to others TO restore
it to its strength, by recalling it within
the pale of truth.
Within that, it is noble institntion
equally the friend of science and civil lib
erty.
The only security of all is in free
press. The force of public opinion cannot
be resisted. when permitted freely to be
expressed. The agitation it produces must
be submitted to. 1t is necessary to keep
the waters pure.
