THE DEMANDS OF OPPORTUNITY

Among the want ads in a Chicago
newspaper recently was an opportu-
nifty for a sales manager. The salary
offered was $4,000 a year. but the APP
plicant must be under forty years of
age. able to prove his ability and to
invest $500
Such advertisements are not infre-
quent Competent men are always in
demand and command good salaries.
There is scarcely a limit to the pos
sibilities OF efficiency. An evidence
of this quality will be of course the
ability to make good in the position,
but something more is required. The
employer demands a guarantee OF
personal interest in his business and
that is most surely obtained through
investment.
Where a mans money is there his
interests lie. When he becomes a
part owner in the business with which
he is employed his incentive TO think,
plan. work and TO accomplish things
is increased. He is working for some
thing more than wages. He is anxious
that his investment shall have the
highest possible earning power.
So that in addition TO efficiency it
is frequently necessary for a man
seeking a position to have something
90 show for his work a test of his
economy and conservatism. This is
en- additional guarantee of character.
1t proves his fitness for responsibility.
Young men beginning their careers
should have these things in mind.
They should constantly have in view
the opportunities of the future, not
alone for efficiency but for capital
large or small. The saving habit pro-
videS this qualification

THE FARCE OF COMPETITION.

The fctional character of competi-
ion between rail and water transpor-
.ation as applied 10 the trunk lines
operating between Chicago and the
Atlantic seaboard has been exposed
oy the interstate commerce commits

petition does not exist.
Railroad ownership of lake lines of
transportation has destroyed all com
1etitive activity with the inevitable re-
suit of maintaining noncompetitive
-ates by the water routes and of d.
veTting the bulk of the business to
he railroads. In other words the rail-
-oads hold the water lines as a clut to
force shippers TO use the rail routes.
The figures prove it beyond ques-

one faction favored the construction
Of municipal plant. Another favored
purchasing the entire holdings of the
water company at a cost OF approx
mately s14,OOC.0O0. \ third advo-
Gated the purchase of such part of
the water company property as the
city would need 10 give the city ade-
quate water service.
The faction favoring the construc-
ton of a municipal plant. which won
in the election held ON Tuesday by a
vote approximately two To- one. was
led by the Denver Post which made
the fight on the popular clamor for
better service, and with Interior mo-
tives of its own was determined to
put the water company out Of BUSH
ness. The Retail association led the
faction favoring the purchase of the
cOmpany's holdings. The third fac
ton, led by Former Mayor Speer, took
the middle ground.
Mr. Speer made a number Of
speeches in support of his plan. He
argued that it would be extravaganza
and wasteful TO purchase any more of
the water company's property than
the city would need. and that on the
other hand it would amount TO confis-
cation OF the water companys plant
for the city TO build its own works.
The temper of the people. produced
by poor service and doubtless aggra-
waited by the Posts bitter attitude, was
manifested in the result. If their eX-
pressed wishes are carried out the
water company will be ruined, but it
is not likely the officials IF that or
ganization will tamely submit To hav-
ing it wiped out. In all probability
litigation will follow and the fight will
be carried from the polls to the
courts

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

that the dispatches did not set forth
definitely these classifcatiOns. There
are Old-fashioned folks who would in
sist on combining the first four CLASH
tications and calling all 335 obscene
or filthy. And they would have some
suspicion as to the 1000 regular
books. The time publisher, subjects
dealt with and even the language of
the writer's might aid in determining
the matter. At least one sample vol
ume of each class should have been
named. for concrete illustrations are
more rapidly grasped than abstract
definitions
For some reason, which the dis
patches do not reveal, Mr.. Hapgood
was not used as a witness. We may
only SurmiSe what technical objection
was raised. 1t is not impossible that
it was urged that the mere fact that
a man had within ten years read 90
obscene books. 90 lew books, 80 las
civious books and 200 filthy books did
not establish his qualifications as an
expert 1t is not impossible that some
lines written by the late Alexander
Pope were quoted to indicate that
such familiarity might dull the keen
edge of discernment. Books that
might shock the inexperienced and
impressiOnable, for whose protection
the statute was presumably enacted
wealth Of obscene, lewd, lascivious
and filthy books cOnfessedly read by
the alleged expert seem at all i'm
proper.
But these matters aside. Mr. Hap
good has established his reputation as
Q hoOkworm He has read more than
a book a day. including Sundays for
over ten years. He has written much
and lectured some and participated IN
various political and social move
mentS. He has been dramatic re-
viewer of such trenchancy of pen that
one Of the greatest theatrical produc-
ers has issued orders barring him from
all performances. From his caSual
illusions he must occasionally glance
! at the magazines and a few news
papers. He must require at least as
much sleep as Mr.. Edison and spend
some time at the table and In the
