mond. the well-known mining en-
gireer and personal friend of Presi-

men to go into politics. He said 1t
Is unfortunate for the country and for
the business men that they have taken
but little active interest in political
Affairs. The real reason OF the fail
ure of many men TO discharge their

rests particularly upon that class OF
young men who have inherited income
sufficient to obviate the necessity OF
earning a livelihood.
