THE BUSINESS MAN.

just word about the Cuisines.
Man. He is the main factor of every
city and village. The rock upon which
all enterprises rise or fall. The engine
of success or the stumbling block Of
offense.
It is to the business man that all
things come for final adjustment, from
the agement of a public enter.
prise to contributions for the poor.
He is visited by the representatives
from the homes for the friendless, he
is waited upon by the committees for
celebrations, he is the first to be seen
by the book agents and the agitators
Of lecture courses, and there is not a
Fourth of July that looms up red on
the horizon of expectation that has not
=b1ed the business man for sums Of
money that range from So to $50.
If he is generous he is praised and
all who go to him know that when
they. return he will be ready to give
again. IF he is not, then hesis a miser:
has no public spirit and people are
willing to put him down as trying to
do the town and give nothing in return.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1905-03-15


70 be a business man is to be the.
subject Of attack from all sides, to be.
condemned for failures and seldom
praised for successes, to be forgotten:
when his contri button is given and
only remembered again if there is not
sufficient money to carry the enter
prise through.
a He pays the taxes, supports the
churches, gives to the schools, con
tributes to the campaign funds, and if
there is anything left, supports his
family.
He is the mainstay Of the city and
yet he gets but little credit for it.
Somehow people have come to look at
him as. a factorsto berecognized only
for his usefulness, but this is not light.
individually he is a citizen, a man,
with the best interests OF the city at
heart and he is not discouraged If the
people do ignore him at times. His
welfare depends upon the success OF
the place in which he lives. Do not
abuse him.. He is the most useful

The sweeping improvement Of the
business outlook which has come since
the election Of Roosevelt is rejecting
itself in a striking way in the stock
market and in the plans of the great
promoters. The latest big Wall street
project which is reported is the merger
of the Vanderbilt, Rockefeller and
Hartman railway interests. As all
the roads controlled by these person
ages are to come into the proposed
league, providing the story turns out
to be true, something like SO, Oo0, 0oo, 900
will be represented in the new combine.
This is a quarter Of the entire capital
represented in the railways of the
United States. 1t is an aggrega cation
of capital which is double the size Of
the steel trust, which, as hoated in the
boom days of three or four years ago.
dazzled the world. The same day
which brings the report Of this big
railway merger tells of the approach
