Marquis II. Eaton. for the past four
years assistant reporter Of the Michi-
gan Supreme Court. will leave Sept. 1
to engage In the practice of law In Chi.
cago. where lie will he associated with
Arthur Il. Cody and Edward Ryan
WOOdlc. lawyers of twenty years
standing IN the courts of Illinois. It IL
understood that Mr.. Eaton IL given en-
ceptional advantages for the display Of
his wcll-known ability. and the Journal
predicts for him u most successful fu-
turc. He will have offices In the Mer-
chants Loan and Trust Building. 135

Mr.. Eaton came to Lansing eight
years ago from Paw Paw. lie was
employed In the Office of the Auditor
General for several years, during
which time he studied law and was
admitted to the bar after passing u
most creditablc examination. His work
as assistant Supreme Court reporter
has demonstrated his ability and I'M
derstanding Of the law. The Journal
knows of no young man of Lansing for
whom the future seems to hold brighter
prOspccts.-rhe Lansing Journal.

What do you know about bicycles
aud bicycle factories? Albert a. Pope
IL looking for somebody to supervise
his plant ana Is ready to pay $4,000
n year. That's as much as the Presi-
dents of the United States used to get.
Perhaps you know more about steel.
Charles NJ. Schwab. the steel mn gnate,
wants eight men rs managers OF steel
plants ut salaries of $4,000 u year.
How can salary OF $4,000 year he
paid? 1t Ii the result Of consolida lions
or the building up OF enormous plants.
Where once We're four or tive or even
ten superintendent ut salaries OF 3d.
600 to $1,000 apiece, one manager now
oversees nll the plants combined.
While the modern managers salary Is
not equal to the combined salaries Of
those he supplanted, It nevertheless ex-
ceeds any former single salary prob
ably more than enough to equal the
increased ability required In conducting
a composite institution. The more the
factories combine. the larger the sal
aries of capable superintendents. but
sight should not be lost OF the fact that
the greater the combinations the few.

the man best able to manage great

answer correctly than ours. II may be.
as the socialists maintain. that the con.
solicitations are merely steps toward
ultimate State ownership that after a
while the creatures will be as power
full as the State which. for Its own sal
walton. will assume control. At any
rate $25,OOO IL more than the entire
investment In many enterprises alb
sOrbed by trusts. Whatever the out
come of the social condition that ere
ates kings of industry, the man whose
skill Is In demand can be pardoned Cor
accepting $4,000 year ana awaiting
the solution OF the trust problem.
