PENSACOLA. FLORIDA SATURDAY MORNING JANUARY p 1909

Of all Fhe steel barons, Handy Andy,
Laird of Skibo, amused limself by
attempting TO make a congressional
committee appear ridiculous.
OF course the whole thing is laugh
able. Indeed it would be undignified
to take it seriously But it is most
remarkable that these so-calied money
magnates should have so neglected
the study of history and the moIding
Of their conduct to conform to the
lessons it teaches as not to take
w arning" themselves from the fate
1f their predecessors in "other lands
