Business Ethics and Politics Must Align for Reform
The author argues that politics clash with business training and urges citizens to raise political standards to commercial ethics. When a respected businessman leaves politics as if it were a dirty affair, it signals a need for reform across parties and a push toward higher ethical standards in leadership.
Plans of Dedication Committee Vindicated
The dedicatory services for the monument succeeded largely due to the executive committee led by Governor Durbin. Despite criticism, the May 15 date avoided October costs and secured McKinley’s promised presence, with strong financial support from local businessmen and effective work by the finance committee led by J. J. Appel and J. E. McGettigan.
