The Congo has been an eyesore to
the world for the last seventeen
years. It's history is bound up with
rakish King of the Belgians, who
makes s5,000,000 year from the
sufferings of the natives, and who
many folks say is richer than any
man In the world.
Belgian interest in the Congo had
its preliminary in 1877, when at one
OF many conferences held on the
neutral ground of the buffer state
"The International Association for
the Exploration and Civilization OF
Africa" was formed
Four years later, when Stanley, an
Englishman, crossed Africa and
opened up the dark country to the
world. Leopold saw his opportunity.
He summoned the returned explorer
to Belgium. AS result of that visit
the Society for Studies in the Upper
Congo was organized.
The King sent Stanley off to Africa
to make treaties with native chief
tains, to establish stations and to do
what he could to gain a foothold
The enterprise was pushed with
haste and secrecy, but other nations
had alert scouts in Africa, and when
1t became known that Belgium was
after foothold in the Congo other
expeditions started. Soon there grew
up such a clash between the advanc-
Ing hosts that conference was ar
ranged at Berlin to define the rights
of each. This met in 1884.
1t was decided to make of the
Congo Basin a neutral country, in
which the peoples of the world
should be allowed the open door
For five years Leopold adhered to
the bargain, but 1t was only while
he was getting his grip firmly fixed
In 1890 he wrung from the Brus-
sells Anti-Slavery Conference the
right to levy duties.
Then came the transformation.
The foxy old King threw OFF his
mask and in the name of the state
boldly entered trade. His policy Of
aggression has been as systematic as
ruthless. In the seventeen years that
have elapsed since he began his ag-
gressions he has crowded out of
100000 Of the 100000 square miles
OF territory every semblance OF pri-
vate trade.
In his administration of the Congo
Government Leopold has given the
preference to Belgians, who are the
most perfect bureaucrats In the
world. The word of the King ir law
TO them, and they stick at nothing IL
giving literal obedience.

ness Career for Politics.

Guggcnhcim.
Little more than half a century
ago the name was unknown in the
United States.
Now seven brothers, all million
aires, the greatest money earning
family this country has ever known.
are making the name famous, and
one Of them, Simon Guggenheim, Is
In the United States Senate, replac-
ing Senator Patterson of Colorado.
Simon will be the lrst member OF
the famous New York family to de-
sert business for public career.
None of the others have had SINH
lar aspirations, says the Denver Post.
Their father, brave old Meyer
Guggenheim, who came to the
United States an immigrant, and
peddled shoe polish on the street In
order to make a living, first for him
self, then for his wife and increas-
ing family, knew only business and
philanthropy, and trained his sons
along the same line. All were unfail-
ingly loyal to commercial life till
Slmon's break in Colorado.
Simon was a good mixer In spite
of his trust affiliations he found him
self so popular in short time that
public Office was actually pursuing
him.
1t is folly to say that his success
resulted from money alone. A
Rockefeller, for example, could
spend probably every dollar of his
fortune in the State and not be elect
ed to the humblest of offices. Mr..
Guggenheim knew how to meet the
people. He did not shut himself up
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1907-02-21

In gloomy grandeur as do many
other men of affairs. In tho evening
he was usually to be found in the
lobby of the Grand Palace Hotel
talking theater, sport or politics with
his friends.
When he went to the various min
Ing camps of the State, and came
face to face with the miners, his
judgment was equally good. If the
blunt men of the pick and shovel
asked him uncomfortable questions
about the trust he was prompt to an
swer, and wnen he came in contact
with genuine grievance was quick
to lemedy it.
His use OF his money was lavish.
In honor of the birth of his son he
presented the $4,000 Guggenhelm
Hall to Colorado School of Mines, at
Golden, and when he found out that
the college did not have the means
to equip 1t he promptly gave another
$4,000 for this purpose.
In 1896, when the Colorado Re-
pubiicans, led by Teller, walked out
mated Mckinley. Guggenheim was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor
on the ticket OF the Silver Republi-
cans. Two years later he was offered
the nomination for Governor. In
both cases he was certain of election,
for not a corpora's guard could
have been mustered against the sill
yer ticket, but he refused both times,
saying that he had no ambition for a
political life.
In the recent Republican landslide
In Colorado 1t was understood that II
Republican Legislature was chosen
Guggenheim should be the Senator.
The triumph was overwhelming, a
majority of forty-four being return
ed. No man not elected was ever
more certain of wearing the toga
than Guggenheim is.
But while Simons shift to the
white light of Washington may make
the name Guggenheim commoner in
the public prints, it cannot add
much to the marvellous record al
ready achieved by the seven sons of
Meyer.
Not long ago Wall street rang with
the wonderful story of how the
American Rothschilds" as they are
called, had voluntarily shouldered a
loss of S1,500,000, dropped in NJ
pissing Cobalt, rather than permit
outsiders, who had joined them in
exploiting the property, to suffer
There was no compulsion what
ever that the firm should suffer this
loss. Had there been a profit they
would have been compelled to pay
the outside investors their shore
Consequently division of the losse
would have seemed equally fair.
But the brothers took the loss, be,
cause they wanted to live up to the
precept laid down by their father
the late Meyer, who died In Palm
Beach in 1905.
His business motto was:
Get money, hut don't try to co Il
by walking over the graves of your
fellowmen."
The Guggenheims make the PROUD
boast that no outsider who joined IN
one of their ventures ever lost a dol
lar They were willing to sustain
tho dropping of the million and {
half in order to keep that record In
tact.
This Difference to every law laiC
down by the father is one of the not
able things about notable family.
