Money Is not all The acquisition
Of money and power is most exped-
lent and proYident thing. yet fine IN
tegrity, sincerity, courage, fealty to
country and city, to lofty ideals Of pub
lie duty are quite as expedient and
much wiser.
One OF the most pathetic pictures
connected with the Democratic con
gressional convention at Ci%iai,Uma
City, was Judge Maxey, at the close
Of the final ballot. He was the victim
Of his own deception. He had been
hurrahed into becoming a congress
sional candidate by a handful Of al
legged friends and in weak moment
succumbed to their siren voices. The
fact that he had money--scads of it,
was bruited all over the territory. The
very men who chirped at Maxey's can
didacy. lent hand In putting him into
the game and gave out the advance no
tees that he would buy IT We
doubt not that Judge Maxey is man
Of high character and integrity and a
worthy citizen. But money rent his
chances in the brealsaway at Anadarko
and sycophantic friends did the rest.
Maxey was deceived all through his
campaign He depended for the most
part on his friends and was airily toss
ed fiis candidacy was not based on
past services" to party. but to the
money devil. Naturally delegates re.
sented the imputation. Maxey was
pushed into a crooked game by itching
palms His strength was his weak
ness. Taken all in all, Judge Maxey's
candidacy was but another biting les.

A few years ago the baltimore &
Ohio railway system was in bad
way.
Railroad men conversant with the
situation realized that the manage
ment had gone into a rut Nearly all
the head officials of the road were
relatives OF the owners The system
had degenerated into a sort OF family
affair, and vas dying of dry rot
Then came a shake up in which the
policy OF promotions was changed
Now the system is prosperous. Pro
motion is based on merit Ability
wins Every brakeman or fireman or
switchman knows that he can win q
higher place by deserving it. There
is no limit to laudable ambition.
That is The only way any successful
business can be run.
II is the policy that makes the
wheels go round in America.
The door Of opportunity is wide
open.
Every private Of the industrial army
knows that he can aspire and work
for the highest Office in the gift Of his
employers.
And Il Is this policy that has put
American industry ahead OF all others,
Fortunately for our institutions in
dustrial necessity demands democracy
Whatever the evolutions Of our society
the time viii never come when brains
and industry win not ind a market
Gray matter and the ability to 90
things are quoted higher today than

II the time ever comes In this coun-
try when the door or promotion is
closed to merit in that time the indus.
