J. Pierpont Morgan's
Career Was Phenomenal

John Pierpont Morgan was so tacl-
turn. so gruff to those not acquainted
with him, and so opposed to being
interviewed that little of value for a
depletion of his personality was ever
secured. He talked by his deeds and
by his deeds he was measured in
type And so often was he measured
in this manner that 1t was difficult
to tell new things. Only the most
careful perusal of all available rec
ords of this captain. of captains of
finance made it possible to shape a
foundation for the story of his life.
Mr. Morgan, when he first saw the
light of day in Hartford. April II,
1887, was even at that time destined
to be a rich man. He was to the
purple born, and while he was a
mere ordinary schoolboy great for
tune was being accumulated by his
father, Junius Spencer Morgan, as a
starter for his son.
AS the boy, Morgan did not con-
Germ himself with anything more than
studying at school, which he did in a
plodding fashion and having a good
time. He laid the foundation for
splendid health and great physical
strength by hunting and fishing,
swimming in Hog river, a dirty little
stream which skirted his home, and
building RATS, upon which he VEN
tured upon the broad bosom of the
Connecticut.
Plugged His Way Through School.
| When he plugged his way through
| the grammar school he was packed
| off to Boston. where he went through
| the same routine in high school. This
| finished, his father, without emotion
or enthusiasm, informed him that a
seat in the University of .Goettingen,
Germany, had been prepared for him
And the son. with no more display OF
feeling, went to Germany. When he
| had finished his studies he returned
to this country to find a desk await
ing him in the banking house of Dun
can, Sherman & Co.
He already had considerable tech
meal knowledge of banking matters
and a keen knowledge of affairs oil
the world, for he was close student
of conditions. His father had been a
| banker, and he possibly regarded II
as certain during his schooldays thai
he, as matter of course, was to fol.
low the same course. lt.f.t
Right here may be described the
most remarkable of all traits in Nor
gan's life. That is, that he was q
worker. 1t was not necessary for him
to become a clerk, a full-fedged
banker at once, or anything else than
have been rich loafer had he liked
and his entire lifetime would not have
been long enough to allow him to
spend the millions his father had
amassed for his benefit. But this
4 kind of life did not appeal to John
Morgan

light and along narrow lines. During

Wright Should
Be Reelected.

l.. l.. Wright, state superintendent
of public instruction. is candidate for
re. nomination and reelection and should
have the solid support and backing of
the delegates from Baraga county at
the Republican state convention next
Tuesday at Lansing.
Mr.. Wright has been a teacher all
his life for he was five terms commits
sioner of schools of Gogebic county, and
served as superintendent of schools at
Ironwood for twenty years. He was
appointed in 1901 as a member of the
state board OF education. In 1906 he
was unanimously nominated for super
irtendent of public instruction, and two
succeeding conventions have nominated
him by acclamation.
His service has been extraordinarily
popular with the school teachers of the
state, whose labors and ambitions he
knows so well from his previous career.
On the other hand. his personal equip
ment and scholarship have been recog-
nized by the University of Michigan,
which in 1908 conferred on him the de-
gree of master of arts. His strength
in the state is shown by the fact that
in the last election in 1911, he was
chosen by a vote of 256, 100 to l23, 204
for John H. Cleveland.

the following resolutions, which were
indorsed.
Whereas the Republicans of Baraga
county failed and neglected to legally
elect a county chairman and secretary
in compliance with Act No. 279 of the
Public Acts, 1911.
"Now therefore. we the Republicans
OF said county of Baraga in convention
assembled find that one Fred W..
rSchwalm, who is not Republican, has
been unlawfully attempting to usurp
the Office of county chairman. and it is
the sense of the convention that a
county chairman must be forthwith
elected.
"Be it further resolved that A. f..
Funk be and is hereby elected chair
man and II. J. Seifert secre tary of the
Republican County Committee of Bar
aga"
s I" Whereas, it is common knowledge
of the citizens of Baraga county that
Fred w. Schwalm exerted his utmost
efforts to disorganize and ruin the Re-
publican party in said county by open
ly and notoriolsly aiding in every pos
sible manner the Bull Moose party,
when he pretended to be an active
member of the Republican party, and
was so enrolled on its records. During
the time of his acting in behalf of the
Bull Moosers he was at all times in
communication with the Republican
State organization and held himself
out to them as being the Republican
county chairman.
Therefore be it resolved, that the
Republicans of Baraga county in con
vention assembled, do most earnestly
criticise and condemn his unmanly ant
un-American action in so deceiving his
party, and we declare that it is oul
solemn duty to here determine that ht
is no longer Republican and that his
name shall be stricken from the roll ol
the Republican party"

YOUNG WOMAN ARRESTS ALLIE GED PURSE SNATCHER

Alleging that he has worked one of the slickest little schemes for gam ing a free living known to them. the police last night had turned into them Eugene Sparks, young fellow of about r years of age. of good ap- 'pearance and well dressed. Later he was booked in the station for carry ing concealed weapons, pair of brass Ilnuckles being found in his possession when he was searched.
 Sparks was turned in by d young lady with whom he had been keep ing small company. He had met her at the skating rink, and from there he had accompanied her to her home On the way to the house he had ac- quired her purse, and, unfortunately for himself he forgot to return the article at the gate, where he left her. Complaint was lodged. and he Was taken in without trouble.
 It is thought. and there IS some evidence to prove it. 1t is said, that Sparks has made his living since coming to Phoenix one month ago by just such tricks He is known to have d bad reputation in the north orn part of the state. having gotten in trouble while in Prescott last sum mer. and the end of his depredations in this city has not been reached by the police

Generous Responses Come
 from the GoodfeIlows of Phoenix Who Are AnX- ious to Spread Spirit of Christmas-WhO's Next !

The interest in the Goodfellows movement grows apace. Fearful lest absence from the city will interfere with plans to assist in the movement, some of the Goodfellows have sent in subscriptions to the Republican with the request that the amount be used to make the Happy Christmastide bright CT for some one whose lot in life is not smooth.
 There are numbers of organizations expecting to do real charity work dur ing Christmas week, and each Of these societies is manned by GoodfelloWS in spirit or the organization would not be in the work. Among these the church. es may be mentioned. the Salvation Army. the B. P. O. Elks. and the As sociated Charities. All are working toward the same end and deserve praise
 It is in order however. that the per sonal touch to the spirit of Christmas might be given that the Republican suggested the GOodfellows club. The idea has met with such generous re- sponse that the paper is more than gratified at the result.
 Just little more than a week re- mains for the test of the GoodfelIoNs of Phoenix to register with the secretary Of the club. Get in. it's fine. Help spread the spirit of Christmas. You will feel better for it, and if will make somebody else happy

Member of Pearson Syndicate Declines to Comment orr Colombian Affair.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

PANAMA. Dec 12.-Lord Murray of Elibank. a partner of Lord COWdray in various enterprises in the republic of Colombia and other parts of Latin America arrived at Panama today on his way to New York.
 When questioned as to the alleged pressure brought to bear on the Co- lombian government by Washington. Lord Murray replied that the matter was a delicate one and that it would be improper to discuss it publicly at the present time.
 Lord Murray said: T consider it of the greatest interest to international commerce on the Carribean sea that the long standing difficulty between the United States and Colombia should be settled in accordance with the inter- ests and honor of the two nations con cerned."
 In regard to the policy of obstruction that it is reported has been used by America Lord Murray admitted having met with competition from powerful American interests but he thought this was only natural He contradicted the report that the Pearson concern was hostile to American interests. on the contrary he said it was friendly
