Z. Southard Parker. president Of the
National Metropolitan Bank, addressed
the Georgetown Citizens Association last
night in Fishers Hall, Thirty-second and
n streets northwest. on 'The self-made
man" He said.
More than half the men in high walks
OF life are self-msde men. You will find
the majority of the successful men come
from the gates Of poverty. In art, Iitera-
ture. business. journalism, and states
manship there are shining examples of
this. Our most illustrous Presidents
Jackson, Lincoln, and Garfield-were Of
that kind. OF our statesmen few have
come from the rich. Webster. Clay, and
Benton were made OF sterner stuff.
Beats Wealth in Race.
Why Is it that poverty beats wealth
in the race OF life? It is because the man
with wealth gets it into his head that he
is at the top. and does not put forth the
proper efforts. In this country a man
has more chance 10 achieve greatness
and to win fame than in any other"
A resolution was adopted by the as
sociation petitioning the House OF Rep
resentatives to consider favorably the
