In noted divorce case the other day

another man supplant her husband In

Is worth thinking about. About half
the divorces are caused by mismating

Prof. Henry G. Adams, who has
made a close study of the trust prob
lem, has pointed out what seems to his
mind one of the causes of the modern
trust. "Paucity Of business talent" he
declares, ''ls In some measure respon'
sible for the unprecedented flow of cap.
ital to the control of men possessing u
genius for business. The monopoly of
which complaint Is made Is monopoly
OF talent. When one remembers that
the great Rogers locomotive works In
Paterson, \. j.. are to be closed and
1000 men thrown out of employment
because no one can be found compe-
tent to successfully direct the plant
what Mr.. Adams says appears to be
not without reason. A few days ago
the manager of one of the greatest IN
dustrlal organizations In this country
announced that he had open three pO-
stions carrying salaries of $4,000 to
$4,000 n year which he was unable to
fill Administrative talent, executive
ability, Is in great demand. Modern
enterprises are SO vast In their opera
tlons, the volume of business is so
large ana the margin Of profits in many
Instances Is so small as to require
business ability of a very high order
Our modern educational methods
somehow, do not turn out this sort OF
supply for great demand. The man
ayers Of great enterprises seem to be
born rather than made. The question
arises in all equity, however, Is a mo
nopoly of talent to be as much dcplor
ed as monopoly of material products
And If the tendency of modern thought
Is TO level the latter will it also Level
the former?
