On Match for the men
Who Can Do Things.
BY DAVID L. HALL.

I and DIR. Green took up Edison's inven-
lions. That was Edison's great start
I'm life.
Need Men Who Can % Things
I'VE want men who can do things"
said Picrpont Morgan TO group or
men In n consultation during which
came up the question OF nnding n way
10 connect n certain railway system
with Pittsburg. IL was In answer To
n suggestion made by George II. ,Baer
the carrying out OF which had strong
Influence later In making him the pres
ident OF the Philadelphia and Reading
railway.
All but Baer had expressed their
opinion that legally the thing was Inn
possible, because OF certain funda-
mental dificulties. Morgan finally
turned 10 Mr.. Baer and said: What
do you think about it?' Mr.. Baer re.
piled: Il think II can be done"
Mr. Morgan looked at him moment.
and With a hearty slap on the back ex-
claimed: You're my man. i want
man who can do things" AT the next
meeting Baer made good his promise.
and afterward the thing was accom-
plished. ES-President Harris was
present at this meeting. and soon after
he resigned and Baer was elected pres
idcnt in his place.
As Baer had already made n name
for himself and was well known. this
incident perhaps has more weight az
showing Morgan's view OF the subject
and his prompt way OF putting IL In
practice than as proving the certainty
OF recognition and opportunity.

OF the present lines upon which sue
cess Is attained, and OF which his own
career has been a good example:

Whether he knows 70 or not. there are

All through his career Mr. Lorcc was
the same quiet. steady going. contented
man. He did his work thoroughly and
asked for no special recognition be-
cause he earned his pay. Then came
the destruction OF the Johnstown flood
In May. 1889. The Pennsylvania rail-
road ut that point was destroyed. Mr..
Loree was the division engineer. The
opportunity and the man had met. IL
took 1900 men about two weeks To re-
pair the damage so that traffic could
be resumed. Work went on night and
day. Mr.. Loree was In charge OF the
night force part or the tine and OF the
day force all OF the time. In the midst
OF that awful scene OF disaster he was
calm. methodicai. and persistent. IL
would all come out right. A man could
do no more than his best. He refused
To get excited. The approach TO the
great stone bridge between Jamestown
station and the Conemaugh river was
rebuilt so quickly that the officials OF
the ppnnaviyania comnnny began tO
ask about the young engineer. who
was soon after made superintendent OF
the important Cleveland and Pittsburg
division. In n few years afterward he
was jumped over the heads OF n dozen
men In the line OF promotion and be-
came general manager OF the Pennsyl-
vania system west OF Plttsburg.

Chicago Tribune: Today the mil
lionaire who heads a great business

has the qualities which will enable him
To make good and 20 be ready 20 recog-
nixe his opportunity when IL comes. He
does not. as a rule. have to overcome
prejudice on the part or the man who
needs his assistance.
What was the common attitude OF
men at the head Of gfeat corporations
IN this respect a few years ago Il
seen I'm the story OF Edison told by DR.
Marvin Green. who was for many years
the president OF the Western Union
company.
Edison had been trying for months
90 induce the officials 10 take up some
OF his inventions. until they had begun
90 regard him as n bore.
He went 60 the main ONCE one day
| and was greeted by DIR. Green and the
other officials with sneering smiles. DR..
Green said: MIR. Edison. we are un-
able TO get into communication with
Albany, and large amount OF busi-
| ness L. In peril. I suppose that since
/ you know more about telegraphy than
all the rest OF us combined you can
locate the difficulty"
Whether Edison noticed the sneering
| tone or not he quietly replied: II can
locate II inside OF two or three hours,
sir" DIR. Green and the others laugh
cd outright. one OF them saying: 'Edi-
son, you have now fully demonstrated
that you are n crank"
Edison never smiled nor addressed n
word 10 the speaker. but looked ut DIR.
-. saNA
/ nCulty In two or three hours Will you
take up my inventions and give them
honest consideration
Yes, I WILL" said DR.. Green. "and
I will do II II you succeed I'm two days"
Edison Alone Saw u.
II was n simple thing. and yet Edison
was the only one who had the COM
| prehensive mind TO think OF Il Instant
/ Is. He did not tell them for many
years afterwards how he accomplish
ed the feat, but he did Il inside OF
one hour.
Edison went 10 the main ofices,
where he was known as an expert ope-
rator. and called up Plttsburg. He ask
cd for the best operator there. nam
Ing him, and then told the Pittsburg
man TO call up the best man at Al
bany. and direct him to telegraph down
the line toward New York as far rs he
| could. and report back to Edison as
soon as possible. Inside or an hour
Ediso nhad this telegram
Il can telegraph all right down "a
within two miles OF Poughkeepsie. and
there Is trouble with the wire there"
Edison went back TO the Office OF the
| president and gravely announced that
II train should be sent TO Pough-
keepsie with materials for the work
they would find n break In the line
iuSt two miles on the other side ~
Poughkeepsie. and could repair Il that
afternoon.
They begged him 20 tell how he had
found II out. and he replied:
by knowing more about telegraph
ing than all or you put together, as
DIR. Green has said"
They located the break. repaired Il.
