We may have to criticise, but there are two ways to do it without appointing ourselves to the Supreme Court Bench, or assuming that all the facts are known to us. Life is too short to be mean and take credits that do not belong to us or be jealous of others. Of all things an envious neighbor is the worst kind one can have to live with. Of course, all are liable to make mistakes, but honorable people compass them and correct them when such appear. "Be just and fear not," said the father to his big son.as he went off down the front steps with his little traveling bag to seek his tortune. Mercantile life would no longer be considered outside of the range of young men leaving college and locating themselves for a career if the small tricks of trade and deceptive practices could be wiped out. The reason we have a much superior class of people in our business is that we have been for more than 28 years every day in our schools educating and educating them from boyhood and girlhood. Why should we be going over these things giving our secrets away for nothing, if not for the benefit of the profession of a merchant, which we want to leave with better standards than it had when we threw a hat into the ring?
