Passing of Snaps

THERE is a delusion which is part
of the spoils idea, that a government
position is a sinecure. The duties
for the high places call for all OF the
strain that men used to intellectual
work understand. The duties of the
humblest place call for an obedience
and frequently the test of searching
examinations. We have lived throu
a very demoralizing age. whose bad
influences were felt in city and town
ship government with all sorts OF
loose practices. Our National Gov
eminent reflects the rehabilitation
that has been wrought since then.
The successful government office
seeker can now find few places in
which he can go to sleep and draw
the salary while some one else does
the work. Those privileges have
passed like the privileges of the feu-
dial system-of which the spoils sys-
TEN is a part.-Indianapohs News.

The Story of Worlds
Greatest F'inanCier

j. p. Morgan was born at Hart
ford, Conn.,, April II, 1887. He
was a banker for 90 years and for
the past 20 years undisputed and
absolute king of American fin
ance. He was dominant, his
friends said, because Of his ruth
less aggressiveness, dauntless
strength, undeniable exaction
and power quickly to fuse divided
elements.
During the tumultuous times
of the panic of 1907, Morgan
dragged the great fortunes of the
world through the marts of fin
ance, powerless at his chariot
wheels. And for days he was vir-
tual dictator of the finances of
the civilized world.
Born Rich.
Unlike many modern financiers,
Morgan was not born a poor man.
His millions were not Accumulate
ed with that absorbing attention
to detail that marked the growth
of the Rockefeller millions. His
father, Jupius Spencer Morgan,
was wealthy New England bank
err and the father mapped out a
great financial future for his son.
AS a boy Morgan attended high
school in Boston and later studied
for three years at the University
of Gottingen, Germany. His ac-
tive business career began in
1859, when he became a clerk in
the banking house of Duncan,
Sherman C Co., one of his faith
er's banks. A short time later he
organized a banking house of his
own, known as Dabney, Morgan
& Co. This concern later became
known as j. Pierpont Morgan &
Co., the most powerful banking
house in America.
Morgan's railroad operations
began in 1870. In that year he
organized the Erie railroad and
was at once recognized as an ac-
tive figure in the railroad world.
From then on he obtained control
Vi byolCuS I'LL ou6
the country and welded them into
one great chain-the Morgan
lines.
Rapid Strides.
Morgan came into his own,
however, between the panics of
1898 and 1907. Following the
narrowing days of 1903 he step
ped out with a following of wealth
never before equalled in the his
tory of the world and took his
place at the head of the hosts that
were scrambling for the meager
remains of great financial institu-
tons, and the wonderful oppor-
tunities that dawning prosperity
offered.
In the IA years between the
panics, Morgan and his allies
made more financial history than
had been furnished by all the fin
anciers of the half century pre-
ceding. During this period, Nor
gan was at his best and he alb
sorbed industry after industry.
Battle after battle was fought
within the narrow confines of
Wall street, but Morgan always
came out victorious.

Morgan "Comes Back"

Morgan "Comes Back"
The year of 1907 was a year of
financial terror. Morgan was
looked upon as on old and broken
man by his enemies. But Morgan
was still on the scene of battle.
He swept into Wall street and at
the end of two weeks of the great
est financial struggle the world
had ever seen, even John ID.
home to lay his millions at the
feet of the conquering financier.
This was MOrgan's greatest trf-
umph and the one which pleased
him most. He tOOok advantage
of the rout, too. To repay himself
for his exertions he gathered into
his pet merger-the United STATES
Steel cOmpany-the Tennessee
Coal & Iron company, chief rival
of the steel trust.
Routed Carnegie.
Morgan ousted Andrew Carne-
gle from his wonderful control of
the steel industry when he threw
a billion dollars worth of stock
into Wall street labelled UNITED
States Steel, common" backed by
not single dollar of real assets.
From one end of the earth to the
other, Morgan distributed that bill
lion dollars worth of apparently
worthless securities, until every
dollar of it was absorbed. Then
came the crash. United States
Steel collapsed and thousands of
persons were ruined. But Nor
gan stayed. For years he fought
on for United States Steel until
he put it on a dividend paying
basis, an achievement which he
considered one of the most salts
flying of his career.
Morgan's Appearance.
AS a man Morgan was the same
physical freebooter that swept all
before In the marts of finance.
Huge, rough and bear-like In ap-
pearance, his manner was gruff,
explosive ad at times overbearing.
Piercing black eyes, peerlng from
beneath a pair of dark beetling
brows, and huge head covered
with shaggy iron gray hair made
him the modern embodiment of
medieval border rider. A nose
that would have graced a Cyrano
de Bergerac, huge, dubious, aug

A grewsome relic Of the early days
of the Santa Rita copper camp was
urcoyared by the mining operations
a0w in progress there when one Of the
steam shovels operating in the Romero
cut last week unearthed az human
skeletons. IRON the fact that these
remains were found ina confused mass
with every indication that they had
been carelessly buried in one grave. il
is assumed that they were the yicslmS
Of some Of the desperate battles fought
around Santa Rita between the early
Spanish miners and the Indians One
resident Of the camp, who takes a
deep interest in the early history Of
this section of the country, advances
the theory that these skeletons repre-
sent the bodies Of slaves who had been
worn out by the arduous work in the
mines imposed upon them by their
Spanish masters and who had been
thrown in an old pit as the easiest
method of daposing of them. In sup
port Of this view it is pointed out that
the Romero cut is on the scene of the
Oldest known workings and that un-
douhtelly the slaves were confined
within stockade adjacent no themi es
from which they were not allowed 70
depart. Romance would lead to the
view that party Of Apaches stole up
on them.
The Santa Rita copper mines were
discovered in 1904 and first operated
by Dan Francisco Elguea, wealthy
banker and merchant of the city Of
Chihuahua. After his death in 1909
the minesk were leased to Don Juan
Unis, who operated them successfully
for a number Of years. The native
copper was what attracted the PAN
lard, and he must have been well re-
warded to have travelled so far and
retained possession against the all
most daily assaults Of the Indians.
ould one Of these old pioneers rise
from his long forgotten grave and see
the methods now used to extract the
metal he sought in such a primitive
way, his surprise would be as great at
modern methods as our horror is Of
those he practiced Silver City Inde-
