That is to say, it was being edited in
aeh a remarkable fashion tluit its subscribers

gradually it began to dawn upon them
that The N ews no longer printed no

thay noticed that tho advertisements of
liquor and tobacco were lioiiqc dropped,
together with certain other advertisemcuUof

Thm editorial was headed:
*"W? MORAL HIDH OF POLITICAL QfK.STIONS.
-Tlio editor of Tho News has always

political party at fires'-nt i" power and
luu therefore discussed all political
questions froui a standpoint of expediency
or of belief in the party as opisised
to other organizations. Hereafter, to
bo perfectly honest with all oar readart.
the editor will present and discuss
political questions from the standpoint
of right end wrong. In other words,
the first qneft j011 will not l?o. * 11 it in
the interest of our party V or 'Is it according
to tho principles laid down by

will bo distinctly taken that natii ns us

"Tho eomo principle will bo observed
in O'3 office /oward candidates for

the editor of The News will do all in

Henry Maxwell read this over slowly
It reminded him of his owu attempts
the day before to put into a concrete
form his thought of Jesus' probable tie
tion He was very thoughtful as he
looked up j/r.d met Milton Wright's
eager Raze
"Do yon believe you can continue to
make your business pay on those lines V
"I do Intelligent unselfishnessought
to be wiser than intelligent selfishness,
don t yon think? If tile men who work
tts employees begin to feel a personal
share in the profits of the business and.
more than that, a personal love for
themselves on the part of the firm
won t the result be more care, less
\.;isto, more diligence, more faithful
uess?'
"Yes. 1 think so A good many other
business men don't, do they? 1 mean
as a general thing How about your re
lations to tlie selfish world that is not
trying to make money on Christian
principles?'
"That complicates my action, of
course '
"Does your plan contemplate whr.t is
coming to be known as eo operation ?'
"Yes. as far as I have gone, it does
As I told you. I urn studying out my
details carefully I am absolutely con
vinced that Jesus in my place would be
nlwr.liitdlr tin?plfi<sh He would love all
these men in his employ lie would
consider the main purpose of all the
business to be a mutual helpfulness and
would conduct i* all so that God's king loin
would be evidently the firs t object
fought. On those general principles, us
I hay, I am working. I nin.-.t have tinio
to complete the details."
When Ilenry Maxwell finally left
Milton Wright, lie was profoundly impressed
with the revolution that was
