cause Of tn" destitute children of the
United States. She was one OF the
conspicuous pleadcrs In this work at a
conference "ecently held at the White
House. She went to the conference to
secure the help of the president in the
undertaking in which she is interested.
The subject was discussed not long
ago in Chicago at meeting of the Ma
tional Child Labor committee. At that
meeting Miss Adams said. "It seems
that our government concerns itself
more with canned meats and fisheries
than 1t does with the things that have
to do with real life" This unique way
Of putting it quickened the determina-
ton Of the committee. Interest in the
problem Is widespread. and the results

SAUCE FOR THE CANDER.

This tale OF two contractors OF DeO
Moines, H., serves to point a moral:
One took the contract to build the
new government building on the river
front. The other contracted to erect
a Milan arch bridge across the river
at the same point.
The federal building contractor be-
lieved in paying the highest wages.
He gave the men who did the COM
mon, rough labor 49, per day. winter
and summer.
The bridge contractor proceeded on
the theory that a dollar saved in Ia
Dor is Il dollar made by the contractor.
Because he could not get them for
less he paid common laborers Sits per
day during the summer.
When winter came. however, taking
advantage of the labor market and
the laborers' necessities. he forced the
common workmen to take 80 cents to
81 per day. The postoffice contractor
continued to pay his men 1926 per
day.
Now
The postofiice contractor was given
three years in which to complete his
contract He says he will finish the
big building year ahead of time.
On the other hand
The bridge contractor has had all
kinds Of trouble Owing to the care
lessness Of his workmen his false
work was swept out by the floods.
Once an entire completed arch fell.
He has been sued for personal fnju-
ries sustained by his employees.
It is said the postoffice contractor
will make fine profit on his job.
The bridge contractor has lost money.
Asked why he paid higher than the
market price for labor. the postoffice
contractor said: "When you pay a man
top wages for his labor you get the
best that is In him. If you squeeze
him down to the lowest notch he will
do the least work possible, and he
will desert you at the first good
chance. My men stay with me, and
my work goes on steady"
That's it.
Wnen you pay Tor the best you get
the best
With rare exceptions men will al
ways respond 10 fair treatment. With
rare exceptions men will always re-
sent 4 niggardly management.
We hear much nowadays concerning
the proper conduct of employees They
are told that they should do just lit
tie bit more than they are paid for
doing But
What about paying employees just
a little bit more than they earn?
In both instances fairness pays.

In fifteen years Frank \. Fanderilp
climbed up from farmers boy to the
presidency Of he largest bank in the
United States the National city bank
Of New York city
How did he sc, up:
Let us see
Nandcrlip was born on Il farm near
Aurora ILL., He was graduated In the
common schools ana went into ma
chine shop Later he attended col
lege. paying his expenses by working
in the same machine shop.
|. lie went to Chicago and began re
the beginning II WAS noted that he
was accurate steady and painstaling
He never deceived his city editor nor
the people whom he interviewed.
| Very soon II came to be known that
NandrrIip WAS an exceedingly well
Informed reporter. Instead of shak-
in. dice ar playing the races or trying
to get into society he read books on
| finance and economies
Nanderip was known In the office
rs a shark on finances and markets.
He was made financial reporter for
his daily, and La Sale street had to
buy that paper to get the financial
news He continued to study and
read Thrown into contact with lead
ing men. he learned much.
1t was known In the Offices and
trust companies and banks that Van
derIip could be trusted
Finally he became the associate ed
itor Of the Chicago Economist. All
this time Lyman J. Gage kept an eye
on Vanderbilt When the latter was
made secretary OF the treasury he took
the young editor along us private Sec
rotary. A few months later the sec
rotary was promoted to assista nj
treasurer.
vanderlip resigned in 1901 to be-
come third vice president Of the bank
Of which he has just been made presi
dent.
Just fifteen years ago he was re.
porter.
How did he get up?
Not by brilliancy. Not by social
prominence. Not by political pull.
Vanderlip was a plodder. While 9th
ers slept he toiled. He was accurate
in his knowledge, careful Of his hab
its, persistent in his pursuit of things.
He was plodder. and he chose the
right path.
Other reporters had the same or Z
better chance, but they did not choose
the right path. Their paths led t.
"fun," or self satisfaction, or socia
prominence, to the saloon and thu
gambling dive.
Vanderbilt chose the right path and
plodded right along.
