ROBERT C. CLOWRY.
President of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.


[ have received your letter asking
for my views in reference to the young
mans chances of success in commercial
life and do not hesitate to say, that, i'll
my opinion, the chances OF success in
commercial business, for the right sort
of young men, have never been so good
as at the present time; provided that
the young men are well educated, hon
est, industrious and faithful, and not
handicapped by mental or physical de-
fects, or by *a full university course of
education, and enter business early in
life so that they may be nodded to their
work, and in line for promotion when
opportunities present themselves. n,-
To be successful, the young man
should be not only Industrious and
faithful but always willing and allx7
ious to perform more service than is
allotted to him. to guard and watch his
employers interests at all times, regard
less of stipulated whether the
employer is the United States Govern
ment, large corporation, firm, or an
individual, and the service should be
performed not only intelligently, but
modestly and unostentatiously, so as not

forget to be gentleman, without being
prudish, but endeavor to associate with
gentlemen and ladies in social life, and
cultivate the acquaintance of persons
of more experience and culture than
himself.
1t is great mistake for a young man
to think that his efforts to be efficient
and to perform more work than is set
apart for him will not be noticed by his
employers or superior officers. The ap-
probation of such service may seem
tardy, but lis almost sure to come, and
then it will only be,a question of time
when his services will become indis-
pensable, and his success certain.

enormous but it is rapidly increasing.
The demand for efficient workers in this
vast industry has also been rapidly in
creasing, both absolutely and relatively
to the supply. To put it another way,
the young man who is reasonably we'll
fitted for the kind of work in question is
pretty sure to be able to find employ
ment, and for at least fair compensa-
ton. IF his equipment is unusual, his
opportunity is sure and the reward lib
eral; if it is extraordinary, rich prizes
are within his reaehA 1t follows that in
general the opportunity for young men
in the general field of journalism and
magazine work is very good, and much
better at the present time than ever be-
fore.
Furthermore, the remarkable enter
prise which has lately characterized
the publication of periodical litera-
ture quickly discovers and seizes upon
any unusual aptitude or talent pos
sessed by workers in this field.
Competition is so keen that employers
cannot afford to favor incompetency,
and to quite remarkable degree, 1
think, the worker is rewarded ''accord-
ing to his works. 1 make these state
ments mindful Of the fact that competi-
tion among such workers is very strong,
that their work is very arduous, and
that, duly considering their ability and
intelligence, they are relatively some
what underpaid But think that the
advantages incident to this kind of work
tend to offset the disadvantages in ques-
ton. AS for the misrepresentation and
dishonesty, and the production of pro-
digiOus amount of trash in which the
worker in the field of journalism must
participate, like objection lies against
other occupations.
In speaking thus of the opportunities
for young men in journalism am not
unmindful Of the disadvantages and
hardships which are incident to the
enormous capitalization and the ma
chine-like character of the vast news
paper and other publishing establish
ments. We must hope that in the
process of development and adjustment
to comparatively new conditions real and
serious evils will be eliminated, and
that others, which now seem real, will
be found to be only apparent. A very
important advantage to young men en-
tering this field of industry, and which
has resulted from the prodigality of the
production of the great publishing es-
Establishments, and their finely developed
organization and systematic operation,
is the great demand for good work and
the even chance for it's recognition and
due reward. In other words the day of
