Excerpt from Patriotic Essays I AM more and more impressed with the need of Business good-will in this Republic. When we consider that only one business enterprise out of ten meets success, admit that the man who enters upon an independent career has nerve, and the man who succeeds has both luck and ability. It is an ele ment of patriotism to reverence the successful busi ness men of America, and Our Nation must request and heed the advice and admonitions of men ex perienced in affairs. I do not confuse Producers with the hordes of money lenders and speculators who consider it a business to prey upon business. The business men are the great Captains of Industry of America, the great Organizers and Common Car fiers, the manufacturers, the farmers and masters of commercial activity. Let us extend to every such leader congratulations for business success, and never begrudge the reward for useful service.
