erations of the company" or ri desire

In his own mind he had mapped out
the results which he thought could be
| attained, but the officer to whom he
| gave the order had that command ever
| before him He was like one of Ma
! poleon's marshals sent into Spain to
| conquer the country with the general
order from the emperor that Spain
should be subdued; or who went into
Austria directed to tumble the king
from his throne. That officer himself
devised the details, himself created the
ways and the means by which this
broad charter which had been given
him should be made reality. If he
succeeded, all right, but if he failed
another and still another was found
until the desired result had been OBJ
tanned.
Then came his son, William H., who
was a splendid railroad manager. He
was always handicapped, though, from
the fact that his father had such great
reputation and prominence in the
walk which he pursued; it was shadow
cast over the real merit of brainy and
strong man.
William II. differed from his father
in the fact that he loved details. If
there was a contract Of any kind to be
made, whether it was for the purchase
of cars. or of engines. or of coal, or of
rails, or of ties, or of land. he wanted
to know and go over every detail, and.
if possible. to meet the seller himself;
if there was any extension to be made
of the railway or any new railway to
be brought into the system he
wanted to go through from bottom to
top of the particulars before his judg-
ment was willing to lend itself to the
enterprise He brought the corpora
ton together so that they would work
tremendously and like a machine for
the accomplishment of the results for
the public and the stocl1holders-for
which the combination was made and
the system organized.
The commodore was a man for the
times in which he lived. when the rail-
way system of the country was chaotic
William Il. was a better man for his
time than the commodore would have
been, for then the railway system of
the country had been so settled that it
needed method and experience for it's
management.
Then comes the third generation,
and it would be folly for them to
undertake directly to reach and adj
minister the details of the system
which men can be employed to do. !
The Vanderbilts have naturally grown |
