MANNERS A BUSINESS ASSET
English Lord Urges Boys 10 Cultivate
Pcliteness Because of the Com
mercial Value They Give.

Lord Rosebery, speaking to some
English grammar school boys, dwelt
on the enormous commercial value OF
manners" He urged every boy pres
ent to cultivate manners mot for the
higher consideration. but because
they will give him value which he
will never possess without them"
His lordship neglecte dto specify
the particular commercial centers
where manners command a premium.
But II has not been observed that man
ners have much to do with business
success in New York, or for that mat
ter In Chicago or Berlin, however 1t
may be in London. II Wall street re-
garded manners as possessing com-
mercial value II would long ago have
capitalized them. But good manners
never looted a traction system or or
ganlzed a trust or created the neces-
sity for federal regulation, Nojcaptain
OF industry has ever been indicted for
politeness, and the manners OF rail-
road presidents and bankers have not
been extolled for their suavity. says
the New York World
The sonin-law of Lord Rothschild
apparently takes an academic view of
manners They have their uses In
some walks of life and are an asset to
creators OF swollen fortunes who seek
to break into society" But generally
speaking, books of department do not
seem of much value to youths ambi-
tious OF commercial success. The cap
tains Of industry are not captains Of
