for three-quarters of a century. Some
the cheap labor markets and densely
populated slums of crowded eastern cit
les. Ar alien contract labor law was
passed in 1885 in a vain effort to placate
the labor element in the population, and
this has since been reinforced by dras-
tic provisions that have only empha-
sized the ease with which it has been
evaded. The elements and agencies
interested in promoting undesirable i'm
migration have proved stronger and
more enduring than the opposing i'm
pulse of artificial restriction.
A treasury department commission,
in an investigation undertaken ten
years ago. secured data showing that
there were at that time sixty-nine for
eign societies actively engaged in the
work of shipping criminal and pauper
emigrants to this country. These So
cieties still exist in even larger num-
bers and with increased powers. In
addition to these agencies. which are
considered the energetic labors of hun
dreds of agents of alien steamship
and transportation companies, who
promise high wages, free farms, an
easy and idyllic existence-anything
in short, calculated to impress strongly
a people condemned to poverty and de-
pendence in their own land. There are
also to be considered the contract labor
importers. who. law or no law will
cheerfully undertake to supply any de-
mands for laborers. These chief agen-
cies of immigration have grown power
full within a score OF years past. Their
business methods are thoroughly estab-
lished and differentiated, and conjoint-
ly they are capable Of exercising diplo-
matte and administrative pressure in
many governmental circles.

GATES OF CHICAGO.
MAN WHO is SAID TO BE COMING
KING OF WALL STREET.

Powerful Factor In the Grent Finan-
Their own Gnme-His Seance with
j. Picrpont Morgan.
A new wizard of finance has arisen
in Wall street. He juggles millions
with as much nonchalance as a magi-
elan manipulates a few coins. John
W. Gates is the man. There are many
who believe he is destined to become
the king of that great center of finance.
Not since the days of Jay Gould and
Jim Fisk has any man created such a
commotion as he has aroused by his
operations. His recent coup in Louis
vile and Nashville took the old timers
completely by surprise, and the thrones
of the mighty were rocked to 1heir
foundations.
Several years ago a small group of
Chicago capitalists transferred the
scene of their operations to New York
and for the past three years have been
an important and powerful factor in
Wall street. John w. Gates is the d.
recting spirit Of this group. which is
known as the Chicago clique"
As one of the chief figures in Ameri-
can Steel and Wire he was a factor in
the organization of the billion dollar
steel trust. J. P. Morgan's pet enter
prise. '4
A story told in Wall street relates
how Gates called on Morgan at the
time the trust was organized and I'M
folded to him his ambition to be one of
its officials.
"Of course you know, Morgan" Mr..
Gates is credited with saying, II ex-
pect to be on the board of directors
and also chairman of the executive
committee"
''IndeedP' gossip says Mr.. Morgan
made reply. you are too modest.
can tell you now that you won't be
chairman of the executive committee.
am also able to inform you that you
won't be even a director"
And he wasn't. But conditions have
changed since then, and it is doubtful
if Mr.. Morgan would be so brusque
with the redoubtable Gates at the pres
ent time.
The recent operations of Mr.. Gates
were not the first that have displayed
The bee., 1902-05-15


a meteoric character. His whole career
since he came into prominence In the
business world has abounded In sur
prises for his associates as well as his
financial opponents. His fortune, which
is estimated as about $4,000, 900, has
grown in leaps and bounds rather than
by the slow accumulation OF dollar on
dollar.
Mr.. Gates was born in Du Page
county. H., in 1855. He was educated
In the public schools and at North
western college. Illinois, from which
he was graduated in 1873. He entered
business as a dealer in grain and then
in hardware. In 1889 he began to alb
sorb all the barbed wire mills in the
country and in three years had gather
ed in twenty-five mills. He was then
president of two great companies. the
Consolidated Steel and Wire and the
Illinois Steel company. In a dozen
carried out schemes Of vast proper
tons.
Mr.. Gates decided to retire from bust
ness and had resigned the presidency
Of the Illinois Steel company when a
suggestion was made to him that the
reorganization of the steel and wire In
terests would be a good thing. The
American Steel and Wire company.
with its capitalization of 100000, 900,
was the result. Mr.. Gates is said to
have cleared $5,OO0,O00 by this stroke.
1t is said that the rapidity with
which this trust was organized broke
the records in this particular. Since
the reorganization of this great cor
poration Mr.. Gates name has been
prominent many times in connection
with great stock operations. Two years
ago 1t was reported that he had made
81 ,000 900 from the rise in Baltimore
and Ohio and Union Pacific stock.
In his tastes Mr.. Gates is distinctive
ly American. He is fond of horses and
enjoys a good race. Formerly he was
one of the best trap and wing shots in
the west. and he is an expert with the
billiard cue. To his friends he is known
as a jolly. companlonable man, who is
always ready to appreciate and repay
a favor. He is thoroughly devoted to
his family.
Mr.. Gates is now at the age which
for most men is the height Of business
activity. It is by no means likely that
he will rest on his laurels. At all
events. he has demonstrated to the
spectators Of Wall street that he can

THURSDAY. MAY IS. 1902.

"MAKING a newspaper is a soft
snap" You often hear people
say that. 1t reminds us of the
old deacon who said: "Preach.
ing a SERMON is just as easy as
falling off a log" One Saturday
the parson took sick and the dea.
con was asked to preach on Sun.
day. Certainly he would with
pleasure. When Sunday came
he went into the pulpit and went
through the opening exercises
without a hitch. Then he open
ed his Bible and read as his text
"Why do the heather rage and
the people imagine vain thing?"
Then he looked over the audience
and read his text again. Then
he waited for divine afflatus to
give down, but it didn't give
down worth cent and he could
not think of a word to say. He
took off his glasses and polished
them vigorously with his banda
ma, but the spirit would not
move him. Then he read his
text over once more and looking
up said: "I'll be cremated if |
know why; let us pray" Most
anyone can edit a newspaper in
that way. The right thing for
every moral, Christian man to
do is to help make the newspa-
per. Take it, pay for it; put
your "ad" into its columns,
and pay for that, on time. Don't
issue verbal note, 81 promise
to pay" then keep the business
manager trotting around with
his pocket full of age-worn bills.
If you have an item, don't stow
it away back of your ears until it
is stale. Tell it to your newspa-
per friend. Journalism is as
methodical and plain and practi-
cal as any other high calling. 1t
is in this day a tremendous pow
er in building up a strong moral
and Christian sentiment in every
community. AS such we want
it. We need it. The newspaper
is a mighty constructive iDfiu-
ence and agency. We can't do

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved our blood
is poor. there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion

THERE are many things a
wife can do to help her husband.
for the old adage is that a woman
can throw out more with a spoon
than a man can throw in with a
shovel. If a wife can't do much
to make money, she can do a
great deal in taking care of what
her husband makes, and money
saved is money made. The kind
husband Will make every conve-
nience for his wife possible, thus
showing his love for her home,
and we should ever try to do our
very best. Have a place for ev-
erything and keep everything in
its place. Take advantage of
our work. Don't put off till
tomorrow what should be done
today, and above all be pleasant
and cheerful in everything. Life
is what we make it, and short at
most. Then, how necessary il is
that we cultivate a sweet, cheer
full disposition from youth to old
age. Hence, we should employ
our time in some useful way.
We have no time for IDLE gossip;
not a moment to spend in the
service of Satan, when we re-
member that we must give an
account for every thought, word
and action; whatever influence
we may have, may it be for the
upbuilding of some immortal
soul.
