JUDGE LINDSEY'S NEIGHBOR
ON HIS WORK.

A man from Denver Is quoted as
saying that Judge Lindsey of that city,
noted throughout the country for his
work in behalf of Juvenile deIinquents,
IS an Overrated man. He says:
Ben" Lindsey is personal friend
or mine. but 1 can hardly say that
the people OF Denver think him the
great man that the Eastern pecple
seem 10 believe him Many Denver
iteS believe that he FaS accom- plish-
ed nothing more in that city than
any other man Of ordinary inteIlf-
Sence wteuld have done had he been
IIlrOWn into the same position Judge
LINDSEY was His rise to fame was
something in the way Of luck
Many things which men do and
through which they achieve fame are
easy TO do. Opportunities knock at
the door of everyone. Suddenly some
man accepts the chance and hundreds
of others wonder that they didn't
grasp it themselves A thing accom-
Plished generally seems easy. Every
Judge in every city OF the land who
had TO DO with sending children to
jail could have done what Judge Lind
sey did in reforming the methods OF
treating juvenile GeIinquents. It was
Judge Lindsey who actually did it.
There Is nothing strange in the fact
that Judge Lindsey's neighbors don't
think as highly of his work as those
who are not 50 closely associated with
him. That Is human nature. The late
Postmaster General Hatton used to
tell a story of his visit TO his old home
after he had attained prominence in
political life Driving over with a
stage driver who did not recognize
him, NT. HdttOn remarked that "a
man named Hatton used TO live about
here The driver recalled the fact.
We'll, what did the folks say when
they heard Re was made Postmaster
Generalz' asked Mr.. Hatton. ~Oh. they
Just laughed, remarked the imperturb-
able driver.

OLD CHINA GIVES A HINT TO
YOUNG AMERICA.

A visiting Chinaman, who IS also
one of the largest merchants IN the
East. has been telling the New York
reporters why it Is that American
manufacturers are-nOt making larger
gains in their dealings with the Chi
nese- as compared with those Of other
nations. What he says Is not new,
bat 1t should make an impression upon
wide-awake business men This Is one
reason given by Low eek Seng for
the lacl, of American commercial prog
ress in the far East:
There * great contrast between
the methods of those few Americans
who try 10 do business in the far
East and those Of merchants Of other
nationslities, particularly the Ger
mans. The American wants TO sell
YOU something he already has IN
stock, something made IN standard
sizes or shapes He tries 10 sell YOU
what he thinks YOU ought TO have
rather than what YOU really want
On the other hand the Germans first
send men through the various coun-
tries TO study local demands. and then
the- try TO satisfy them They are
OhliEinE. and they are most carer al
about iIling orders and about pack
ing and shipping
Consular reports and other reliable
sources Of information have conveyed
similar information for a number of
years, but, apparently, 1t has fallen
on deaf ears It Is not remarkable,
therefore. that bIr. Low remarks:
The American business men NAV
