THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS I
T
BY
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
A TASK FOR REFORMERS
HE affert to reform humanity should not always begin at
the bottom. Sometime It la wise to begin at the top,
mnti omatlmea In the middle and always where the
soil Ic worth the seed.
In speaking of thfs matter recently a man of wide busN
nets experience said:
"There lsa big field waiting for reformers. It Is not
amting the so-called lower classes, where so much reform
effort Is spent, and where a good deal of tt Is no doubt
wasted. It Is among the people who are represented by the
'average employe' In our great mercantile and Industrial In
stitutions. It is a sad fact that enly a very small percentage
of thess people sre really In earnest that Is, are really try
ing to do their best."
"What per cent would you say?" t asked.
Net ever five per cent," he replied. "I really think that
would be a high estimate."
"Oh, you can't mean thatl" I exclaimed.
"Yes I do," he asserted. "It may vary a little In differ
ent establishments, and In different kinds of work, but in
general that Is Just about where the matter stands. My ob
servations are wide, and cover a period of twenty years.
Something should be done to turn back the tide of Indiffer
ence and shlftlessness which spreads through this class of
employes In nearly every business establishment."

$5 This
this Bargain Week, and all you have to do
is to mail your remittance to the State

January 1, 1910, when it will be stopped

it possible to give you this cut-price. The
Journal is the paper you will want to read

profitable enough to give its owners legiti
mate returns without making alliances
with any interests opposed to the public
welfare. Every public matter is treated
impartially, unselfishly and entirely from
the standpoint of the people's interest.
One years' reading will convince you that
the State Journal is truly Nebraska's
greatest newspaper. Remember, this spe,
cial rate is only made during this one
week of December 21 to 28 to get new
subscribers and regular price of $4 and $5
will be charged thereafter. Why not test
the Journal this one year and see if its
publishers are really conducting their
newspaper upon such high standards'
