Show LOYALTY TO ROME HOME INTERESTS it Is a splendid practice to be loyal to ones owl it seems to me this truth applies not only to individuals but also to communities it Is of 0 fundamental practice among the lat ter day saints and it should conal continue nuo to be for or vital and ana obvious reasons only the thoughtless will deny its in e efficacy f and importance and yet we find many latter day saints who appear to belvery be very shortsighted short sighted in this respect you have heard beard of 0 the prof professor who tempted the child deseo here r sala said he be la is a box ot it fine call candy dy and here is IB a handful or of the same candy you may have the box tomorrow or the handful now which will you take the child took the handful now such losing shortsightedness short sightedness la 15 not uncommon among elder persons persona it Is frequently witnessed in the bual bub luebs nebs affairs of some people who appear only to grasp the value of things to in immediate sight eight they become infidel to their own interests when the temptation of an apparent appa immediate benefit confronts them they are dead to the value ot of a little self de nial and sacrifice today which it en ea in v would result ia vast financial interest tomorrow la this laet fact not illustrated every day lo in our business transaction people run hither and thither and do things that save them a penny today buti but that will perhaps cause them the loss of a dollar tomorrow it if this or that commodity or utility or what not may be purchased just a trifle cheaper from bome institution la which neither they nor their friends are interested and from they will never derive a general benefit they buy at once their sympathy and patronage go directly where immediate results ap apparently ardently accrue buti but la reality where loss appears in the end individuals thus constituted chuckle at opposition to home enterprises and institutions and are first to desert their friends and really weir own interests to give support to strangers and foreign enterprise they appear always to be jealous tearing fearing that their friends and neighbors may gala gain some benefit from their help and patronage instead n of rejoicing in the prosperity ot of their own they are glad to add their weight to the disadvantage of their home institutions Is that a cheaper pleasure resort than the home established one ode la Is that a cheap er theater a cheaper light cheaper sugar soap or street street car tare fare it so such people are ever ready to abandon the tried home institutions which have struggled to give the people good service lee of often tea at loss and great sacrifice and fly to the support of competition which lor for the present may offer them a seeming advantage but which in the long run Is often to eno ena in financial Ilaa acial loss it II Is otten often the motto ot of new firms to kill competition and then raise f factories ac have created I 1 kit were not for tue the home factories the hundreds of thousands of dollars dollar now paid the farmers tor for beets lor for toD tomatoes matoes and fruits would not ire be circulated among the people further these home institutions with many others that might be named give remunerative employment numbers of home laborers who are paid fair wages they do not wish to engage cheap labor but the motto of our local employers pl as ai demonstrated la in the past la Is to live and let live they do not a to employ forella pauper labor but give the first opportunity to people who reside here the people may therefore well be loyal to our home institutions and to the tha men who have invested invented their capital in them not dot altogether selfishly but often with a thought for or the benefit of the public generally a truth plainly demonstrated in the establishment of our coop co op institutions factories and places of amusement loyalty to home enterprises ends it if not in direct petty advantage certainly n an indirect broad and treat great berie tit and permanent profit to all Is it not then better and wiser to patronize and uphold our own home institutions than to labor against them by encouraging opposition that will tend to kill or discourage them and leave the people la in the hand of competitors who when ahert home organizations aro are once buil out of the way dayi will feed themselves fat upon the people who have beet been shortsighted short sighted enough to permit such eunious con dit editions dl tlona ions let the people therefore be loyal to themselves vei and to their own interests te rests by abandoning the shortsighted policy of petty temporary gala gain which ultimately la Is sure to end la in permanent loss let capital and labor decide to be fair to 10 each older live and let live and as a result both will prosper these truths apply not only to the leading industries lodus tries and public utilities in the hands and under the control it f our citizens lia la salt lake city and this state generally but they ate are pertinent in every settlement and home Industry in the neighborhood let us encourage each other and be loyal to our own SMITH |
