and financial worlds let us remember that no other
classes have had SO much DO with establishing the
factories. business houses and financial institutions
which are best known today in the United States.
Out of a score Of great manufacturing establishments,
inclulng some which have already been merged with
our great industrial corporations everyone was orgi-
nallv founded and managed by mechanics, men who
had served their apprenticeship and risen 20 indcpcn-
dcncc Among these may be mentioned the founders OF
the original Baldwin Locomotive Works, Fairbanks
scales Studcbalcrs wagons. Pullman cars Sloane and
Higgins carpets, Westinghouse electrical apparatus
Singers and Howc's sewing machines Woods agncu!-
tura' implements. Cramps and ScottS steamships,
An1cs shovcls and Stcnways and Chickcrng pianos.
Il would be comuarativoy simple matter TO extend
the list indefinitely If we sho,d include all those busl-
ness establishments which were created by men who
entered ON their careers as office boys clerks Almost
every famous manufacturing concern IN the country
would come under this category. For example, Edison
began as telegraph operator, Cors' IN the great en-
zine works now bearing his name Cheney in the Cheney
silk Mills, Rocbng the firm Of wire manufacturers Of
the same name Sprcckcls i'm the sugar refinery bearing
his name All these men, and many more captains Of
inluStrv were poor boys with natural apttudcs Tor
whom a regular apprenticeship was scarcely necessary
The condition IS similar i'm the mercantile, CONNER
cal and financial branches Of business, IN all OF which
the governing principle tends toward concentration IN
the form o large concerns. In these the poor clerk
stand, in the same relation as the trained mechanic in
the industrial world The original members OF Lord

Germ and others were all poor boys and clerks at the
outset And the same condition is true IN the banking
world where as everybody remembers, the Ncligmans

lads and received their training in that scrnct but

work will adopt the latest invent newest method,
always trying to hit plan that will beat tie former
record and ready discard their carrier devices
This is a step which the working mechanic the other
hand. is loath to take. Accordingly no young man
should undcrratc the advantages of an education, OK
ccpt that must be adapted to the end in view, giving
practical help bearing directly ones career II success
is really to be won
From the foregoing think it will be plain why it is
that in the financial, commercial and mercantile
branches OF business well in manufacturing the
poor office boy often becomes the merchant prince or
banking leader Of the succeeding generation. The law
here works the same in the Of the trained me
chanc who eventually becomes the founder and mana
ger of some famous manufacturing concern Men Of
this type have abandoned salaricd positions and boldly
riskcl all i'm the establishment of a business, finally
risen to the top and last taken supreme command in
their respective fields In all these lines it will often
be found that there college graduates working on
salaries as trusted suborlinatcs but in general hitherto
II has remained true that neither capital influence nor
college learning has proved adequate 20 contend against
the energy AMI indomitabc will springing from all

VISITING IN KEoKUK
And His Presence Here Brings Many
Happy Memories Of OIden Times

The familiar face Of one Of Keo-
kuk's former residents. Lee F. Wits
ton, Is again in our midst. He left
this city somewhat reluctantly several
years ago and took up his abode in
California, but mas kept IN touch with
Keokuk people and always manages to
see them II they are on the coast. He
lis a regular attendant at the annual
Iowa picnic under the auspices OF
up their abode on the California coast.
Lee has rounded out and his face Is
much fuller, so that with his added
years his most familiar friends OF
other days fail to recognize him at
first glance. Always active and spry,
he is still built that way. There is a
lt:tle suspicion, however, that he gets
a little lonesome sometimes. He re-
marked that they didn't have any
Modoc clubs in his locality; that he
had made an effort to form an organ
ization Of the kind, but so far he had
not succeeded. It's zoo bad. No
wonder Lee IL lonesome. Keokuk had
q Modoc club probably thirty years
ago. or more, and It was half the life

back, Lee, and the old Modocs will
rally around you In the sincerest
