He Walked the Plank,

The dealers saw. The Admiral walk
ed the bridge no more; he walked the
plank. 1t was all very simple, but very
serious. Anybody could make ciga-
rettes, but if he couldn't get anybody
to handle them what was the use?
The Duke of Durham held all the aces
in that game
Having conquered the cigarette
world, Duke looked about and saw the
chewing tobacco world. He went after
that. The Lorillards of Jersey City
and the Drummonds and Liggett &
Myers of st. Louis fought him fiercely
Tor about seven years, but eventually
mad to knuckle under. Scores of small
er concerns were forced into the fold.
Duke practically owned the American
trade in cigarettes, pipe tobacco and
chewing tobacco. Then he crossed the
ocean. He fought the British tobacco
interests to a standstill, the British
American Tobacco company was form
ed, the rest Of the world was divided
up between the American and Euro
pean interests in the combine, and
~ANN - IoOoSSO eLlp1Ic was well 0lS0
universal.
But don't forget the cigar. Remem-
Der that the cigar is the aristocrat of
the tobacco realm. Duke went after
the cigar last of all. The United Cigar
Stores company now has more than
900 stores in the principal cities of this
country, controlled by the trust and
selling nothing but trust goods. This
concern is rapidly killing off small CT
gar stand competition. The United
States government devotes a special
section to the United" stores in its
complaint against the trust.
Meanwhile Emperor Duke lives in
lordly splendor at his country estate
near Somerville, N. j., where he owns
$500 acres of land, every acre land.
scaped at vast expense and every
building on the place constructed Of
costly stone. He is fifty years old, has
S50,000,000 or so, and his millions are
increasing faster than his years.

purely luxury. We could do without
tobacco. Many of us do. But many
of us don't and won't. Rockefeller and
Carnegie and Havemeyer monopolized
necessaries. Duke monopolizes lux
ury. This distinction should not be ig-
nored.
''WaterIoos Are Still Possible"
Late in the eighteenth century a man
named BonaDarte set out to conquer
Europe and rule it. He very nearly
achieved his ambition. Then came
Waterloo. Late in the nineteenth cen
tury man named Duke set out to con-
quer the tobacco trade throughout the
world and rule it. He has more nearly
succeeded in this ambition than did
Bonaparte in his. But Waterloos are
still possible.
Napoleon Bonaparte and Buck"
Duke employed the same general plan
Of campaign. Napoleon first made him
self master OF France, but that was
not enough to satisfy him. Italy and
Spain and other countries were doing
fairly we'll in their own way. Napo-
leon wanted to run them. He coerced
them, beat them down, bruised and
battered them, until they submitted to
his protection in order to preserve
their remnant Of vitality.
Duke was the head of big tobacco
firm, but that was not enough for
Duke. Other big tobacco firms We're
doing very we'll. The Lorillards, the
Drummonds, Liggett & Myers and
many others there were. Duke wanted
to run them himself. He went after
them, beat and bruised them and bat,
tered them down, and at last they
came into his tobacco empire to save
themselves from absolute extirpation.
Big Change In Conquest Methods
The man Bonaparte used armies OF
men to kill other men in accomplish
ing his purpose. The man Duke used
armies Of dollars to put the dollars OF
others out of commission. Millions in
men for Napoleon, millions in money
for Duke. In the eighteenth century
= millions Of money could not have done
what Napoleon did In the nineteenth
century millions Of men. could not have
done what Duke did. The fact indi
Gates a mighty change in methods OF
conquest.

Pooh Bah of Tobacco.

The fact that the Duke tobacco en-
pire has grown from a very small seed
does not signify that any other boy
should or could go and do likewise.
Only one man at time can be presi-
dent of the United States. Only one
man can be the Pooh Bah Of tobacco.
James B. Duke began his career
shortly after the close of the civil war,
when the era of gigantic trade devel-
opment began. He was born on a
threadbare old farm near Durham,
N. c., fifty years ago. His father was
Washington Duke, who opposed seces-
sion, but was conscripted into the Con-
federate army and served throughout
the war. Before going into the army
he sold his farm to neighbor, to be
paid for in leaf tobacco at the close of
the war. But the neighbor was as
poor as Duke, so the latter got his
farm back. Tobacco was about the
only thing he could raise on the land.
With a capital of so cents and two
blind mules Washington Duke began
raising tobacco and manufacturing it
for the local trade. The first factory
was a shabby old barn on the place.
That was the humble birthplace of
the $4OO,OOO,OOO trust. James B., the
youngest boy, started in the tobacco
line when he was eight years old as
helper to his father.

Soon Became the Boss.

When "Buck," as his cronies called
him, was eighteen years old he was
taken into the firm, which had branch
ed out and built a small factory in
Durham. The youth preferred sixth
interest in the business to & college
