BY ANGELA MORGAN.

Ihirty-seven years ago "a youth o.
nineteen started In the railroad bust
ness at Atlanta, Georgia. with Just one
burning idea in his brain.
That idea was simply this: To make
a splendid success OF his work.
Whether he, personally, made a sue
! cess or not, was OF no consequence.
| His occupation and its duties were the
focus of his ambitions.
The youth was Ralph Peters. now
president OF the Long Island railroad.
He had just graduated from the Col
loge os Atlanta when he took his first
position in railroad service-that OF
chief clerk to the superintendent of
the Atlanta Street Railway Company
Steady. determined, energetic and
extremely serious. the lad OF nineteen
from the first displayed qualities that
would have done credit TO mature
railroad man. lie had just one rule
OF success, which he kept in the from
OF his brain. vivid as any motto In
black and white. BE willing to plod.
And plod he did. Inspired by the
example of his father. who had
achieved honors in railroad life the
younger Peters bent every faculty
upon his work
He plodded-and became superln-
tondent Of the railway company for
which he first worked as clerk.
He plodded some mofe-and the
PENNSYLVANIA system found that IL
nc eded workers such as he. TO
Piitsburg he went. as secretary to the
superintendent of the Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati AZ ST. Louis railroad.
He kept on plodding-and was
made superintendent of the Western
| Division OF the Columbus, Chicago a.

made superintendent of the Cincinnati,

In this dual capacity he plodded on

some one capable Of taking charge Of
the interests OF the PENNSYLVANIA was
needed as superintendent of the South
west Division. Ralph Peters was just
the man.
In this field he continued until. in
April of 1905. he was made president
OF the Long Island railroad.
You ask me to give the secret o.
my success" said President Peters.
There Is a wide divergence OF opin-
ion as to what constitutes success. To
many IL means merely the piing up OF
dollars. Still others regard IL az
synonymous with holding a position
Of trust.
