cial institutions and the wonderful
opportunities that dawning prosper
ity offered.
In the IA years between the panics
Morgan and his allies made more
financial history than had been fur
nlshed by all the fnanelers of the
half century preceding. During this
period Morgan was at his best and
he absorbed industry after industry.
Battle after battle was fought within
the narrow confines OF Wall street,
but Morgan came out victorious.
Morgan's Personality.
AS man Morgan was the same
physical freebooter that swept all
before in the marts of finance. Huge,
rough and bear-like in appearance,
his manner was gruff, explosive and
at times overbearing, Piercing black
eyes, peering from beneath pair OF
dark beetllng brows, and huge head
covered with shaggy iron gray hair,
made him the modern embodiment OF
A medieval border rider A nose
that would have graced a Cyrano DE
Bergerac, huge, bulbous, augmented
TO massive size by disease, stood
out prominently
Morgan was married twice. His
first wife lived but year after theil
marriage, and in 1866 he married
Miss Frances Tracy, They had fou
children, one son and three daugh
tiers. The son. J, p. Morgan Jr., has
been trained to take his father
place.
Stock Market Not Seriously Affected
It was announced that j. p. Nor

death would not seriously affect thu

Emerson tells us that an in-
Stitution is the heightened
shadow of a man. But an in
StiStution is more than that.
1t is the visible manifestation
of the personalities of many
master men. John Mohler
Studebaker, the only living
representative of the original
brothers Clement died in
1901, Peter E. in 1897, Jacob
IF. in 1887, Henry in 19O5),
mirrors to the world what
manner of men they were.
Born in October, 1888, he
boasts over eighty years. But

were needed. The fame of the
5 tn d c baker wagons had
spread. The demand increas-
ed. The future opened before
the brothers like a path of sum
shine through a morning fog.
But the lure of the farm was
stronger than the call of the
factory for the elder brother,
50 we find Henry retiring from
re partnership to a farm
where he lived until his death
IN 1895. But tc take his place
came the other brothers. Like
a magnet, the business called
to them and they came, each
one bringing that without
which the business might not
have succeeded.
Came from the gold-drenCh-
ed, northumberland land of
California John Mohler Stu
debaker,-WhO had heard the
call of the west in 1852
laden with a few hundred dol
lars which he had acquired in
business deals of small mo-
ment in the country of the
mines. With his far-Seeing
executive mind he had seen
greater glOrieS in the business
of his brothers than in the
frantic Clawing of the yellow
fecked earth. Like Coils P.
Huntington, and those other
financial masters who flung
the steel ribbons over the
mountains and across the sun
parchced plains, John Mohler
Studebaker saw the need of
transportation. He knew that
before the railways came, Wag-
ons would carry the FL Dorado
vOyagerS and their household
goods from east to west.

jured up before the minds of

no one meeting the man
would accuse him of hav-
ing slipped by the three-SCOre-
and-ten stopping point. He
feels young because he has al
ways filtered his pleasures
through honest work. He has
Fletcherized his joys. With
the acquisition of wealth came
responsibilities to match, and
these responsibilities, backed
by the rigid training of his
blacksmith father, held him
well balanced on the Swaying
tightwire of life.

siaStic workman who has play
ed the game of life according
to, the dictates of that philoSo-
ply which a strenuous mod
erniSt called the Square Deal.
1t is true that he has acquired
much wealth. but with equal
truth it must be said that this
wealth was acquired through
the rendering of service that

wealth of data that would
otherwise be lost. In a word,
the Hitchcock political card
index system is less complete
than this offered at company
expense to the workers.
All this seems far afield
from this man, j. M. Stude-
baker, yet it is pertinent to A
biography of the man. One
cannot Judge the man unless
one knows his institution.
And don't forget that the in
.Stitution does not lead the
man. Always you will find
the man leading the growing
business. Only institutions
that are dying at the top are
greater than the executive.
Although this man is eighty
years old, he manages to spend
eight hours every day around
the plant. OF course, as he
said to me, he hasn't a desk
job that keeps his executive
nose on the grindStone; but he
does exercise a paternal super
vision.
The wise teacher helps the
pupil to get along without
him. So has j. M. Studebak-
er shifted his executive bur-
denS onto others. He only is
a great executive who con-
IStructS. a business machine
that will run without him. j.

wisdom of a good executive

may faunt ones name before

the world calls fame, but the
great test to apply to a man is
to discover what his neighborS
