FAIL TO HAND DOWN POWER
Men of Millions and Gigantic Abilities
Seldom Seem to Have Successors
to Their Scepters.

Individual opportunity in COM
merce and finance reached its climax,
one may say, in the School of the
Magnates- the three or four
brief years when every industry of
great Importance was headed by a
man, says the Worlds Work. Just
as certainly as Morgan, son of
banker, became the king Of all the
banks, so certainly did Hartman,
son of poverty-stricken clergyman,
become king of all the railroads;
Havemyer, absolute boss of sugar;
Ryan and Brady, twin tyrants of the
fractions; Duke, the lord of tobacco
Rockefeller, the ~omnipotent in oil /;
Carnegie, the caliph of steel, etc., etc.
In nearly every great line of indi-
vidual endeavor some man or family
or group of friends came up and
seized autocratic power, and wealth
commensurate with that power
flowed in upon them.
Havemyer died. No man came to
take his place. Hartman died. No
man succeeded him. Rogers died,
and with him passed his power. One
by one the School of the Magnates
slipped away, some into rest, some
into enforced idleness, some into
various Ravens of safety from public
wrath, some into death. AS the ring
broke at last. Mr.. Morgan, too, died
quite suddenly. The fortunes of the
giants of yesterday remain, for the
most part, intact; but the power of
the men of yesterday is nowhere
passed down from father to son. So
new men come to WELD the scepters
of autocratic power in any of the
giant trades of commerce, finance or
transportation.

a moist season clover plants with
four or even five, six or seven leaves

with only two leaves are also seen at

But some plants are abnormal by
