The Philosophy of Greed.

humanitarian, John w. Gates:
ITO be successful you must have
more brains than heart"
That is the religion of the dollar.
the cardinal tenet in the creed of the
money lover. 1t represents the alpha
and omega Of his operations in the
realm Of things financial, and he en-
ploys it to bolster W his sordid be-
lief that the end always justifies the
means.
1t all depends upon what is meant
by the word success" however, we
think. II the mere matter Of accu-
mulating money is the ultima Thule
Of success, perhaps Mr. Gates is
right. Doubtless the maxim fits his
own peculiar case precisely and to an
exact dot Happily that is not the gen.
eral conception Of success; we are
optimistic enough to believe it no less
than to hope it. A lot of successful

The San Francisco call., 1909-08-17

H NJ. Owens, head of the law de-
partment of the San Francisco motor
club, and a director of that organiza-
ton, has sent the following to The
Call, which he has also submitted to
the board of directors:
l. Does an owner or any member of
his family have to possess a chauf-
feur's license to operate a motor We
hicle in this state?
2. Can woman be issued a chauf-
feur's license. or operate a motor We
hicle as an owner in this state?
Answering question 1, 1 beg to say
that subdivision 5, of section l, of the
automobile law of California, defines
the word chauffeur to mean any per-
son operating a motor vehicle as me-
chanic, employe or for hire. and sub
division l. of section 5, provides that:
Every person hereafter desiring to
operate motor vehicle as chauffeur
shall file in the office of the secretary
of state on a blank to be supplied by
such secretary, statement which shall
include his name and address, and the
trade name and motive power of the
motor vehicle or vehicles he is able to
operate"
This clearly applies to those persons
who are employed by others. and not
to the owners of motor vehicles, or
members of their family, except to such
owners and members of their family
who operate their machines for hire.
sThe business or calling of the chauf-
feur has become an important one,
and the definition should distinguish a
professional chauffeur from the owner
of an automobile, who sometimes drives
his own machine and to whom the term,
strictly speaking, is inapplicable." :"
(Section 1872. Berry on Automobile
Law; page 119)
"The word chauffeur come to us from
the French, and means burner. While
not synonymous with garotteur. the
words seem to have been used inter-
changeably to some extent. The term
was used to signify a member of the
band of outlaws during the Reign of
Terror in France. who roamed over
the northeast part of the country under
the lead of John the Skinner, or Schin-
derhannes. They were called chauf-
feurs because they roasted the feet of
