SAGE DISCUSSES MORGAN.
Wall Street Veteran Says Magnate Is
Greatest Financier of His lime.

wall street veteran Says Magnate Is
Greatest Financier of His lime.
Like all men of intensity, Mr.. Nor
gan seems brusque but, as a rule,
brusque men are kind-hearted, good-in-
tentioned and straightforward. They
see things quickly and are impatient
with the sluggard. They despise sham,
trickery and evasion, and never forget
it when they have discovered it, but
their friendship honestly given is un-
shaken for all time.
My friend, George Rutledge Gibson,
says a writer In Leslie's Weekly, says
that Mr.. Morgan is the greatest mas
ter of finance we have had since Alex
ander Hamilton" Russell Sage, in
talking with me about Mr.. Morgan, did
not put him exactly in the Hamilton
school. He said that Mr.. Morgan was
practical, not theoretical, and was with
out doubt the greatest and boldest finan-
cial master of his time.
HE believes in doing things" said
Mr.. Sage. "Mr. Morgan's success is
due to the fact that he has always OBJ
served business rules and taken the
same risk that he has recommended to
others. His judgment is reliable; his
responsibility is unquestoned, and it
is not surprising that all his undertake
ings have therefore been successful.
Then, again." added the veteran opera
tor, experience is worth everything,
and no other man has had such an ex-
perience in his line of work as Mr..
p Morgan. He succeeds not only because
of his ability, but also because he is
bold and confident. For twenty years
l have had more or less to do with Mr..
Morgan. and regard him and his abil-
ity with the highest respect. He has
no patience with an unreliable man. He
believes in straightforward, honest
methods. If man resorts to trickery
in dealing with Mr. Morgan he may as
well make up his mind that his time Is
short"
