B «NCHES II . ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES
THE liBIQUITQUS KNOCKER
“The Knocker belongs to the
genus homo, and his habitat is
everywhere. He particularly likes
to frequent the haunts of busy
ineu, there to annoy those who
will tolerate his presence
“The Knocker is an obstacle to
progress, a corrupter of virtue and
a menace to civilization. He fouls
the air with his breath, and darkens
the future for all with whom he
comes in contact.
“Uli fortunately the Knocker has
the power to clothe himself in Lhe
habiliments of good citizenship.
He poses as ilie friend of decent
government and of civic advance*
ment. Ho makes use of good words
with which to do evil. Ho preaches
of reforms only to convince his
liearors that they never can be
brought ab^ub,
“Id history tho Kuocker occq
pies a large page that affords most,
anpleasant reading. He regretted
the wasb of life at Thermopylae,
and he assured Romulus that lie
had chosen a most unhealthy site
for the Efc i mal City.
“The Knocker regretted the
discovery of America, as it meant
only the introduction of new and
doadiy d iseases to mankind. The
harnessing of steam in his view
a to result in tho easalvement
ho workingman and the re
action of the price of labor to
minimum.
‘‘■George Washington, J to the
Kuocker, was a rebel loading.a
misguided people.
“In I860 thoRnoqker spoke in
the South agaihst those who were
willing to uphold their principles
at tho risk of their lives, and in
the North he referred to Abraham
Lincoln ns a demagogue and a
man of low intelligence and'vicious
instincts.
“Tho Knocked today lifts his
voice to belittle thoso who work
for thr common good. The Com
mercial Club the Chamber of Com-
morce and the Board of Trade are
unworthy organizations. T h e
stream of life, he says, is so slug
gish that it is useless to attempt
to deepen its channels or purify
its waters He opposes all innova'
fcions and decries public improve
ments.’♦—George Allen in “The
Optimist.”

He knows also, t hat nothing is
done about it. They die dead

are aware to the soundness of the
fundamental principles of co-oper
ative marketing.
Manufacture and all industry,
except agriculture, is now well
organized on co-operative basis
This includes labor. The stock

the farmer alone was Jiurt. He
was not organized. All other iu
d.ustry was.
“Because of , organization all

The fanner has come to realize
that he also must be * able to con
trol the price of his products
through organization. We general
y recognize now that competition
is tho death of profits. We there

among the railroads nor among
the manufacturers, nor even
among labor. What we have been
calling corporations are in fact
nothing more in principle than
co operai ive organizations.
