THERETIREMENT OF GEORGE
WESTINGHOUSE.

The tragedy which belongs 70 the
survival of the fittest has found a
pathetic expression in the fact that
George Westinghouse has been depOsed
from the head Of the company which
he brought into prominence and pros
perity. He Is credited with having
made more inventions than any other
man in this country except Thomas
4. Edison. He was a studioUs youth,
and when electrical development was
in its infancy he brought out many
of his patents. He made money
The panic of 1908 was too much
for him. however. The company OF
which he was a member had % sue
c,1mb. and he went into retirement
By reason of his intrinsic genius, the
general public has INDUCED the hope
that George Westinghouse would come
out on top after all Those hopes
seem to have been misplaced, and he
takes his place IN the ranks for the
time being. At all events, he has
contributed UNNECESSARILY TO the
growth and progress OF industrial de
veIopmen. He has done much TO vital
ize the Twentieth Century. In his
retirement he VIII carry with him the
good wishes Of the entire country.
