lnenting on the death Of Mr.. Harri-
man. 1t remarks that 1t seems
strange contradiction between the
great power he had in life and the
slight effect upon the market occa-

also that when the iron trade was
passing under control by consolidation
q decade ago it was predicted that
one of the chief weaknesses would be
the suppression Of personality.
Mr. Carnegie used to say that there
was peril in any form of business
where there was no longer the eye OF
the owner but only the eye of the sal
.aried official The Age is able to
show without difficulty that ten years
of history have simply confirmed the
story of all the centuries preceding
the beginning of the last decade, for
personality has made the world what
it is and personality will continue to

Ito the end of time. 1t is impossible

either runs itself or can be guided.
without mastery hands. In fact, it is
the opinion of most of those who
study such subjects that the power Of
personality was never more keenly
felt upon great masses of men than
far as to contend that the talents
which used to be devoted to wars and
fighting are now turned to trade and
commerce. But whatever view may
be held, there is no denying the fact
that the opportunities of the moderI
world are developing to match person.

fully improved except through the
power of personality great enough ant

Governor Johnson.

Des Moines Capital: The entire
nation will sincerely hope that Gov
ernor John A. Johnson may speedily
recover Yesterday he submitted to
a critical operation-the outcome OF
which will not be known for several
days
Governor Johnson is man of great
force OF character and has brought
distinction to the state of Minnesota.
Some index of his popularity may be
found in the ease with which he can
be elected to Office in a Republican
state, although himself a lifelong
Democrat.
The mans career is furthermore an
other striking illustration Of what can
be accomplished under American insti
tutuions The son of poor washer
woman, he started out at an early age
to make something Of himself and al

his mother Step by step he mounted
the ladder.
Today he is not only the chief ex

News from the hospital at Rochester
will be awaited with anxiety and
