Industry Honesty and Application Are
Senator Scott's Requirements

To the Editor New York Times:
The gist of your first question is,
Has the young man of today a chance
of success that was possible for his
father in the past"
l say, yes. The young man of to-
day is, or should be, equipped for the
battle that is before him much better
than his father was. While the op-
portunities of the present to succeed
may be more difficult than in the past,
yet his equipment is better, and con-
sequently his opportunities are just
as good. There is plenty of room at
the top of the ladder today, as there
always has been in the past. There
lis just as great a demand by employ
ers of labor (and by this mean eth
er for brain or hand workers. for
young men as there ever was. Today
l surrendered the management of a
large manufacturing establishment to
a young man whom l educated at
night school He is making a sue
cess.
The young man who succeeds is the
young man who possesses industry,
honesty and a determination to do
whatever he is called upon to do bet
ter than his neighbor. He should pay
no attention to the clock, whether he
works eight or sixteen hours a day,
but should try to make himself indis-
pensable to his employer, and then
he is sure to succeed. There are op-
portunities open every hour of the
day for any man who is qualified and
willing to make himself useful.

Henry W. FIagler Says There Never
Was Such a Demand

To the Editor New York Times:
Do / think the young men OF to-

young man twenty years ago enjoy
ed?' / do, most decidedly. Through
long life Of business activity, I have
never known time when there was
greater demand for young men of
ability than now.
1t must be remembered, however.
that the competitions of life are ferc-
er than they were twenty years ago.
and the young man who succeeds now
must have more SNAP than was re-
quired in former years.

The statement is frequently made
that the young men Of this country to-
day do not enjoy the chances for sue
cess that were possible for their faith
ers; that great combinations of cap
ital and altered economic conditions
nave made it more difficult for reward
to come from individual effort.
In order to ascertain the consensus
Of opinion of men who have achieved
success along various lines of effort
the New York Times sent out inquir-
les and received many replies thereto,
some of which are appended below:

ployers as great a demand for young
men of ability and initiative as ever
and greater for the very simple
reason that business enterprises to-
day are Of greater magnitude and call
for greater effort and greater intelli-
genCe on the part of those who assume
to guide them. Many men undOubt-
edly curtail their operations owing to
the difficulty of securing the right
quality Of management on the part
of subOrdinates. 1t is difficult to Sc
cure men of initiative 1t is a pity
that more young men cannot realize
the wide field of opportunity before
them, which is reached only by the
development of the qualities of endur-
ance, strict honesty, patience, the
ability to subdue irritation under
what may seem for the moment to be
unmerited censure; just a few home
~, average qualities which go to
make up a strong character.
The country has not approached its
limit in an industrial sense, nor will it
approach that limit until its resources
are exhausted. One has but TO con-
template the enormous latent, dormant
resources of this country, especially
in the west, but quite apparent in the
east, to find a ready response to your
inquiry Great combinations of capt.
tai, in my judgment, do not initiate
against the young mans opportunity;
rather do they promote it.
GEORGE S. NIXON,
l. S. Senator from Nevada.
Reno, New, Aug. 1908.
Equipped at Earlier Age to Direct Big
Enterprises, Says Senator Warren
To the Editor New York Times:
l beg to say that l believe the young
man Of today has a better chance to
get ahead than the young man of
twenty years ago enjoyed.
Twenty years ago and prior to that
time, the young man to get on had
to overcome a prejudice which exist
ed against youth. The employer Of
that period, himself, had been kept in
long service in a subordinate capac-
ity, and had served a long apprentice
ship before he was entrusted with Sc
rious responsibilities. In turn he put
into practice the same methods and
would entrust the high places in his
business only to men of mature age
and long experience.
Today conditions have become al
most reversed. The owner or owners
of large concerns look for the crea-
tive faculties of youth, and for its Wig
or, energy and hopefulness, in filling
responsible places, rather than for the
conservatism, the habits of routine,
and the tendency to be satisfied, of
the older man. In every line of bust
ness nowadays may be found very
young men filling top places requiring
the exercise Of live brain power, while
under them are men older in years
with the limitations in energy and Wig
or and resource, which are the inev-
liable accompaniment of age.

John Claflin Thinks Possibilities Are
Greater Than Ever Before

JOnn NidHiN ninkS FOSSIDillIeS Are
Greater Than Ever Before
To the Editor New York Times:
Answering your favor of the 1st
inst, think the young man Of today
has as good a chance as his grand
father had. There was never a great
er demand than now for young men
of ability who wish to do real work.
The majority of young men do half
the work their grandfathers did, and
yet expect to make rapid progress.
The few who think intelligently and
work with oId-time diligence will rise
to the top

Jno. II. Converse Points to Greater
Variety of Business Enterprises
To the Editor New York Times:
I think that the chances for bust
ness success of the young man of to-
day are distinctly better than they
were twenty years ago or more. My
reason for this view is that there is a
greater variety of business enterpris-
.es than formerly. Manufacturing in
.terests have been greatly developed;
the railroad systems of the country
have been increased; electricity has
become a potent and important factor
in industrial work; the uses of iron
and steel have been increased, and
other branches of industry have been
added or extended.
All these fields of effort require
young men OF ability and energy, and,
il would seem to me, afford an oppor-
tUnity to the young man to make his
record and achieve success.

Young men have a better chance to
get ahead now than ever before. be-
cause the educational institutions of
the present day are better equipped
TO train them for the practical in life
than ever before. The earnest gradu-
ate Of the technical institution of to-
day is qualified pra -tically as we'll as
theoretically to take hold Of engineer
ing and scientific work at an age when
the young man of twenty or thirty
years ago would not have been trust
ell to do more than carry a surveyors
chain in the field or act as errand boy
in the Office.
Answering your inquiry, Has the
country approached anything like its
limit in an industrial sense?" I would
reply emphatically that il has not.
The natural resources Of such states
as Wyoming. Colorado. Utah, Idaho
Montana. and the Pacific coast states
have scarcely been touched. Their ag-
ricuItural possibilities are almost lin
itless. They will open up fields for
the enterprise of our young men for
centuries to come.
