Adversity alone can make some men remember tbst mandoth not live by bread alone. However, we must not be unjust. The . competitive system of industry today ia caicuiaieo to con ruse moral Ideas. It almost compels a man to think that loyalty to the men be works for in business, even In a had cause, constitutes hts full duty. Our whole system of business ta calculated to make It difficult to put moral respon-sIMIlty respon-sIMIlty on anvhody.
