WHY SCHWAB GOT AHEAD.
From the Chicago Times-Herald

From the Chicago Times Herald.
People who have heard within the
past few weeks of the selection oil
Charles NJ. Schwab to be the titulal
head of the new billion dollar steel
trust have generally thought of him
merely as a lucky man. They have
read of his rise from the position OF
laborer to be one of the richest men
in America and have attributed the
change to good luck in making invest
ments or to the favor of powerful men
with whom he happened to be asso-
| ciated. Twenty years ago Mr.. Schwab
was earning 81 a day as a stakeman in
surveying party. His wealth is now
| estimated at s50.OOO.O00 and as presi-
dent of the United States Steel COM
pany he will, it is understo. I'd, receive
salary of $4,000 a year.
Let us see whether Mr.. Schwab is
merely lucky or whether something
else is responsible-at least in part
for the change that has been brought
about in his fortunes. Would any one
of the millions of men who were work.
ing by the day twenty years ago be
where Schwab is now if he could have
had Schwabs chance?
Schwab says he worked and studied
His aim. he declares. has always been
to make himself indispensable to his
employer. Whatever his duties were.
according to those who have heard the
story of his advancement, he tried to
do them better than anybody else
could. In addition to working hard he
educated himself. He began his career
with no education; there seems to have
been that in him which led him to
understand his disadvantages. There
fore he set about to obliterate them
Today Mr.. Schwab is said to have a
better education than the average col
1ege man.
In addition to his other accomplish
ments he has learned to be an expert
chemist. Chemistry enters largely into
the work of making steel, therefore he
has distinct advantage over most
men who are in the steel business.
So. looking at the matter calmly and
disinterestedly, we must admit that
something more than mere luck has
been on Schwab's side. Perhaps he
has grown rich faster than he deserved
to; perhaps circumstances We're in his
favor; perhaps there may be here and
there a man who has been just as faith
full. just as industrious. just as studious
as Schwab, yet who. through lack of
opportunity, is still down in the ranks. |
On the other hand, however. it is GER |
tain that the thousands of men who |
go on from year to year making no |
efforts to educate themselves, think |
ing not of their work but of the wages |
they are to receive for doing it. could |
not possibly rise above the dead level. |
no matter what evenueS lay open be- |
fore them, no matter how steadily luck
on their side.
The case of Charles NJ. Schwab but /
goes to show that much depends upon !
the man after all.

There has been for a long time talk
in this city of a proposed and much
needed union passenger depot. The
talk has all, seemingly, come to moth
ing, simply because the citizens have
declined to act in the matter. 1t is
hard to understand why the people of
Ell Paso are so apathetic about this
matter. Barring decent sidewalks.
there is no one thing that could be
done that would make such a pleasant
and lasting impression on visitors, es-
pecially the casual guests of the city,
as would a fine union depot, into which
all the railroads of the city would
discharge their passengers. There
are sites numerous and sites
suitable. If the railroads have diff
Guilty in deciding on the best site for
a union depot, it is clearly the duty
of the citizens to step in and endeavor
from sense of personal interest in the
success of the project, to compose all
differences and effect an amicable ar
rangement. And the time to attend to
this thing is now. before any of the
roads invest in new stations, and be-

The last statement of Consul General
WiIdman that got into print before
his recent tragic death in the wreck
of the Rio Janeiro was in the nature of
a prophecy of the future of China. The
word is that of close observer and
keen interpreter of passing events and
current tendencies. ITO prophesy the
future of China" Mr.. Wildman is
quoted, lis a most defficult thing to
do. but l may safely hazard this:
China will be divided into five different
kingdoms. China was originally five
distinct divisions, and to those it will
again revert. There is absolutely no
sympathy between the northern and
southern portions of the Flowery King
dom. In the north a Caucasian's life
is never safe: in the south he may
travel anywhere with impunity."

The idee although novel ought to
be effectual. A stamp represent
ing the annual tax must be affixed
to the document and cancelled, in
order to make the instrument
legal This does away with the
system of assessors and makes

There is no need of statements
revealing the assets of each bust

do is TO buy stamps enough to pay
his tax and stick them on. The
scheme is simplicity itself. No
