Montreal Fighter Better Government

Montreal, Que, Jan. 31.-The most
exciting municipal campaign in the
history of Montreal closed today
with whirlwind tours of the candi-
dates and meetings in every ward.
Tomorrow the electors will vote for
a mayor and other city officials, al
dermen and members of the board of
control.
The contest lis generally character
lied as a fight for honest govern
ment. Never before have there been
such important municipal issues be-
fore the people of Montreal as in this
campaign coming as it does after the
stories of graft and public robbery
told before the royal commission and
after the surge of public feeling
which resulted in fine adoption of the
board of control principle of NUM-
cipal government last September.
The good government forces, under
the leadership of the Citizens asso-
citation, have Endorsed ticket COM
prising the candidates recommended
for Office on the strength of their
previous good record. The efforts of
the association are centered in an at
tempt to defeat those candidates for
reelection as aldermen whose names
were conspicuously linked with the
stories Of graft which stirred the city
a year ago. Among these candidates
for reelection are eight aldermen
who were singled out by the royal
commission for special condemnation
as "malversators."
The Citizens association has in
dorsed DR.. James j. Guerin for the
mayoralty DR.. Guerin has practiced
medicine in Montreal for many years
and is one of the best known men in
the city. He is professor of clinical
medicine in Laval university and has

Quebec legislature.

ployed in the construction of the

FROM CASH BOY TO
MILLIONAIRE

Chicago, JAN 31.--"Every man
should try to save at least one-fourth
of what he earns" is the advice of
Jacob l.. Kenser, who today retired
from the position of general manager
of one of Chicago's famous big stores
to look after the millions he has &C
cumulated by hard work and thrift.
Mr.. Kenser is now one of the largest
owners of downtown realty in Chic
ago. His entire fortune, he says, has
come to him through strict attention
to business and the savings out of his
earnings.
AS an example of what man with
the right stuff in him" can do, and
the heights to which he can attain
in spite of seemingly unsurmountable
obstacles, Mr.. Kesner's life is an OBJ
ject lesson to the youth of the land.
Born in London forty-five years ago,
he was brought to America by his
parents when three years old. His
parents were poor and it was neces-
sary for him to go to work at an early
age. He had very little schooling, but
az night he put in his time at bust
ness college.
At twelve years of age he obtained
employment in a state street depart
ment store. The store is now one of
the largest retail mercantile estab-
lishments in the world, but in those
days it was comparatively small af-
fair. After working several years
as a cash boy, Mr.. Kenser became a
salesman. In 1881 he was given the
management of one of two depart
ments of the store and as the establi-
shment increased in size he was given
added responsibilities.
Never satisfied with merely making
go d to the extent CT holding his job,
Mr.. Kesner made his departments
known over the country for their vast
business, and he became known as one
OF the SHT0WuSSl uuy CIS duu AududSCio
In the business. In the course Of
time he was made assistant general
manager and in 1895, when only
Twenty-Five years of age, he became
general manager of the entire estab-
iisment.
Though his friends regard his care
er as extraordinary. Mr.. Kenser does
not look unon his success as in any
way phenomenal. There are just as
good opportunities now he says, "as
there ever were, and more so, for
bright boys and young men who will
exert the proper amount of energy
for the interests OF their employer
Good, willing workers always are
recognized according to the quality
and quantity of their work they rem
der. All business houses are looking
for bright boys and young men who
are willing to work themselves up. :"
