THE RIGHT KIND OF FACTORIES

Capt. S. A. Harper of Ottumwa. at
present sojourning temporarily in
Daytona, Fla, in letter to the OF
tumwa Commercial association says
that it is up to every citizen 10 talk
for his town. talk for its industries,
for its manufactured goods, its bush
ness houses. its advantages, its prog
ress and its great future. If We
praise it, others will praise it, 4 we
damn it, others will damn it" He
also says that towns situated as OF
tumwa is will have to depend largely
on small factories that will grow;
that they can scarcely expect to land
million dollar plants. But good judg-
ment must be exercised IN securing
these small factories, as he thus
points out:
I'VE will have to look askance at
the little concern that is seeking a
location with a capital OF $4,000 to
$4,000 and officered by president, a
vice president, secretary, treasurer
and a general manager. all with high
salaries. Such concern Is over
organized and will never succeed.
But, if a man with the capital
above mentioned presents himself and
says, am the president the secre-
tary. the treasurer and the general
manager, that have earned this mon
ey by hard work and want a location
for my concern He is the man we
are looking for and we must locate
him in Ottumwa by all means.
There are in Ottuinwa today,
number of firms which commenced
business on q small capital. the pro-
prietors of which, in the beginning, in
the person of one individual, held all
of the Offices OF the concern and these
firms have grown to be wealthy and
their business reache. all over south
ern Iowa and northern Missouri
The success of any business is
largely due to the man behind it, the
manager
a business with large capital and
an incompetent manager is much
more likely to fail than to succeed,
bat q business with a small capital
and a competent manager will sue
coed in ninety-nine cases in one hun
dred.
There is practical wisdom IN what
Captain Harper says. and much of II
is as applicable in Keckuk as in CT
tumwa- The object should be not
simply TO secure factories because
they are factories. but factories prop
erly Offered and managed There is
need for discrimination as well as
effort in this work.

On the advice of the Attorney General,
the Navy Department will refuse to &C
cept bids on armor plate from corpora
tions that can be construed as in re-
straint of trade" This is a broad Dropo-
sition, and there are those that believe
that the great Steel Corporation will be
considered in this category. The latter
has just made the lowest bid for the
construction Of six emergency dams for

The decline in Canadian Pacific couId
not be laid at the door of the Attorney
General, but there were those who con-
sidered 1t as partly resultant from the
debate in the German parliament on dis
armament, reciprocity, and other inter-
national topics. The German chancellor's s
speech regarding the proposed arbitra-
ton treaty between the United States
end England was also considered some
thing of bear argument. The belief Is
growing that the good things recently
said about Erie and the advance in the
stock were the results Of pure manipu-
lation for the express purpose of aiding
in the distribution of notes made some
time ago. with intent to retire the
outstanding issue maturing April s.
