GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
OUR PUBLIC FORUM
Peter Radford
ON ADVERTISE IT IN AMERICA.
As a citizen of this nation and one Intensely inter
ested in its material development. 1 want to add my ap
proval to the "Buy It in America" movement. Commer
cial patriotism and business pride are the foundation
stones of success in industry and no country can become
supreme in commerce and trade unless It fosters a spirit
of friendship and partiality for its own products and insti
tutions. It is the spirit of the hive that makes the
wheels of industry turn and each community should be
a progressive unit in our industrial universe. All things
being equal the farmer should patronize tlie local mer
chant, who is always a good citizen, a heavy taxpayer
and friend of the farmer. The farmer sends shiploads
of raw material to foreign markets and factories that
meet on their way vessels laden with finished and foreign
grown products coming to America. Any effort to minimize this eco-o.nic
waste ought to be encouraged.
But as a farmer and friend of the manufacturer and merchant 1 want to
suggest an "Advertise It in America" movement. The manufacturer and
Jobber may blow loud blasts on the horn of patriotism but if they will put
an 'ad" in th© newspapers in their trade territory, making a business presen
tation of their goods, they will find it far more effective than waving the
Star-Spangled Banner. The farmer is as much Interested in the price of the
things he has to buy as in the price of the things he has for sale and the
advertising columns of his newspaper are his price list. The price is the thing
and the farmer wants the figures in cold type. The politicians give him all
the patriotic buncombe he cares for. Business enterprise is a far r.ore suc
cessful salesman than business patriotism.
There are many most worthy organizations working to promote commerce
and trade but we seldom find organized effort to promote the press, yet it is
recognized as the most powerful agency for progress the world has ever pro
duced. We have all sorts of days calculated to promote business and bono?
industry such as Trades Days, Bargain Days, Labor Days, etc. why nt
nave a press day and all business concerns advertise tlie things they have
to sell and everybody subscribe for the local paper and all delinquents" pay a
year in advance? There Is nothing so elevating in civilization as the smile
of an editor and nothing will contribute more toward the welfare of a com
munity than the prosperity of the press.
The farmer is a friend and patron of the newspapers. He subscribes for
the local paper and reads every line in it and it is the best investment he
can make. There is no news so valuable as store news no information sc
interesting as market demands no tragedy so entertaining as the rise and
fall of prices and no page more closely studied by the fai mors than the adver
tising columns of the press.

ON THE SHIPPER AND THE RAILROAD.
Chas. C. Prouty, while a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, in discussing the relation of the
Commission to the shipper and the railroad, said:
"The original purpose of the interstate Commerce
Ant was to protect the shipper. The most eminent man
who ever sat on the Interstate Commerce Commission
was its first chairman. Judge
CMOICV.
the history of that commission Judse Cooley published
an opinion in which he said that the business of tlie
commission was not to enable niiln.aiis to maintain
reasonable rates, but to project shippers against the
imposition of unreasonable rates.. .Vow I think since
Judge Cooley published that opinion conditions have
changed. I ihink that today it is just as much the c'i'y the Commission
to see that the railroads are given reasonable rates which -.vill yield to them
a lair return, as it is to see that no unreasonable rate is charged the shipper,
and 1 believe this is in the highest interest of the shipper iiimself.
"At the basis of a'.l right thinking about this street Tes the fact, verj
often stated, very little apprehended, that t: rahivad is a public servant.
The property is private property, but the thin d.,::e i.. a Kovenunental func
tion. It is done by the government in most Kiuvpcan couni ries. Now, if the
government is the master, and if the railroad is tlie servant, the servant can
not propr-rly discharge its duty unless the master, instead of hampering and
discouraging, sees fit to assist and foster.
"You understand that if the business of this country is to develop the
railroads must develop also. You also understand that in the case of many
railroad systems, and perhaps most railroad systems, their business is de
veloped up to the point where but little additional business could be taken
on, with th« present facilities.
"Now where is the money to come from with which this is to be done?
Where did the money come from that built the railroads of this country? It
came from the private investor it came from exactly the same source that
the money comes which operates your business, which operates every other
business. And why was that money put into railroads? It was put into rail
roads because the people who put It into those railroads believed that it would
pay a return. This money which must be had by the railroads of this country
has got to come from this one source—private investors. In the past, railroads
have been able to borrow whatever their necessities required. Railroad
stocks have been a favorite form of investment. Railrond bonds, next to
municipal bonds, have sold higher than any other securities. Now, if that is
to continue, it must be because the railroads make such earnings as will
fristify the investment."
Peter Radford
ON THE BUSINESS PREACHER.
anil very early in
The recent confession of Dr. Newell Dwight Hillia
from the pulpit of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, that
he erred in becoming secular is in many respects the
most important statement made from the American pulpit
in this generation and if it marks the high tide of min
isterial lust, for worldly power that has bew« Hooding this
country for the past quarter of a ceutury then Dr. llillis
has not erred in vain.
It must be said to the credit of this noted divine that
his purpose in stepping o-nt ot the pui'pit was to acquit
the means of rendering a more capable service to those
who need and deserre assistance, but the pathway from
the pulpit to tlie world is always strewn with good inten
tions. Satan knows as well how to tempt a saint as be dots a sinner
and he has lured many a minister down the primrose pathway of worldly
poiver to ruin, for no or.e knows better than his satanio majesty how en.sy
it is to get a preacher to enter business or politics "in the name of the Lord
The laymen of this nation have viewed with alarm and the world with
derision, t, grov.iiu tendency of ministers of the got.pej to abandon the
liiilpit a powe- ayaitist evil and seek the influence of worldly agencies
to put into effect their Christian ideals. The man who has not sufficient
faith in the power of religion to ferapple with tlie sins of this world ought
not to be in the p'i'pit and if he wants to accumulate wealth in order to
relieve poverty or wield a scepter in order to enforce morality, then he ought
to be a banker or a mayor, instead of a preacher.
The two great temptations that confront the Christian a-.inistry today are
business ami politics and between the two evil^ Dr. Hiilis chose tlie least
aiid by bis able conduct has turned error to his credit and transgression to
the advantage of the pulpit. It is no compliment to say a preacher is a
uharp trader or a smooth politician and certainly no applicant for the min
istry would offer such qualifications as evidence of equipment for Christian
work, and ministers engaged in undue activities in either iield become a
menace to the church and a peril to the state.
It is true tlie ministers, as a class, are underpaid, but their average in
come will exceed that of the average farmer. Stocks and bonds, land and
securities, politics and the lecture platform have tempted many a preacher,
but the plow handles are without sin so far as luring the minister from the
pulpit is concerncd. Any preacher who feels the inclination to abandon the
pulpit should plow a few rounds and I venture the suggestion that he will
hurry bacl. to t' pulpit.
Now. that Dr. Hillis has led the business preacher "back to the pulpit"
will some me of our leading political preachers confess their Bias and le»d
U»elr wayward brethren back to the fold?
