There has been much talk about the
salary of Charles NJ. Schwab, President
of the United States Steel Corporation.
1t is pretty well settled now that he re-
ceives 100000 as annual salary, and
an additional $500 as a contingent
fee.
A little more than two years ago,
Ebert IL. Gary, who at that time re.
sided at Wheaton, ILL.,, suburb of
Chicago, was elected President of the
Federal Steel Company, which Is now
an integral part of the steel combina-
ton, and his salary was fixed at $780,
600 year Having previously been at
torney for the Illinois Steel Company,
he had mastered the legal side of the
great industry before he was able to
command such high wages. He spe-
cialized his knowledge and thus was
able to attract the attention Of the cap
italists in control of the vast enter
prlses. AS chairman of the Executive
Committee of the great steel trust, he
probably receives fully as much as he
drew when President.

Washington, April 24.-By direction of
President Roosevelt, Acting Secretary of
War Sanger has addressed the following
letter to General Frederick Funston:
War Department, Westinghouse
am directed by the president to instruct
you that he wishes you to cease further
public discussion of the situation in the
hillppines, and also to express his rPegret
that you should make senator of the
United States the subject of discussion and
criticism. Very respectfully,
"WlLBIAM CAREY SANGER.

At banquet of the Colorado Sons of
the Revolution General Funston is re-
ported to have said of Senator Hoar:
Il have only sympathy for the senator
from Massachusetts, who is suffering
from an oyerheated conscience"

At any rate. 1t Is big enough to be high
ly exceptional. 1t Is but fifteen years
since he left college, and at first he
worked ten hours day, carried his
lunch with him, and earned $12 a
week.
Step by step he mastered every de-
tail of the business and rose to be
manager. Then a crisis arose, calling
for the highest executive ability. and
he was equal to the emergency. His
company was IL rate-cutting pool and
It's profits had disappeared. Upon his
aggressive initiative 1t withdrew from
the pool, inaugurated a fight of It's
own and within two years was paying
80 per cent dividends. This triumph
inspired in Mr.. Matthieson an ambition
to control the entire field, and this was
accomplished under his direction. Most
of the concerns absorbed by his COM
pany were losing money, but under the
combine which he organized their
stocks were transmitted into gold. This
Young man earns his princely salary
by successfully handling $40, 1000, 900 of
combined capital and conducting the
glucose business, comprising some 20
departments, In such systematic and
prosperous way that the shareholders
are we'll satisfied. He says that hard
work Is tonic to him and he keeps at
1t early and late, never asking a subor-
dinate to do more than he does him
self. He knows no other secret of sue
cess.

ing Of the average toiler whose stipend
Is 81 or $3 a day. Nevertheless, In
this mattero fact age there are prob
ably very few persons receiving pro-
digious pay who do not earn every dol

Gage told an assemblage Of bank
clerks in Denver that he could place at
least 20 young men, If they had the
ability, in financial institutions of the
country at a salary of $4,000 year

remarkable operation-that of grating a
