WHAT is AN EXECUTIVE?

Jus, what are his qualifications :
And then becoming practical, just
how DO you train for the JOB: An
Executive said Tom l.. Johnson, is
a man who makes decisions and is
sometimes right" A line. which,
like most other smar sayings OF big
men, is only partly true.
An Executive il one who starts
something and then sees 10 il that
the JOB gets finished.
Ask what the chief qualification Of
an Executive is, and the answer will
suggest itself instantly: Courage"
which is another name for Initia-
tive. The reason men do not accom-
plish more is because they 90 not al
tempt more.
Men fall down and lose out. not
for making mistakes, but for making
nothing. 1t Is vastly better 10 try
and fail, than fail by not trying a.
all. I'D darn sight rather &c, fred
for an error than for not having act
ed when the occasion demanded"
was the way President Hanrahan, Of
the |. c. K. r., put it to one Of his
men.
knowledge used under right con-
ditions is priceless. knowledge IT,
ing dormant is d drug Oh the minds
market Initiative without knowI-
edge, on the other hand, is the trac-
tion engine minus the steering gear
it moves and does forge ahead, but
often leaves destruction in its wake
Yet to do without knowledge is
better than TO know without doing,
for TO do means to learn and to know.
And that brings Ug back TO the
premise upon which this article is
based. Gust what should be the
stock Of knowledge Of an executiyc?"
Is a thorough technical knowledge
OF the particular business in which
the executive finds himself sufficient,
and OF more Importance than broad
general knowledge, Of the mental
processes OF men in general, or is
the reverse true?
The best mechanic does not ncccg-
sarlly make the best factory exccu-
tive. The best engineers rarely be-
come the president OF the railroad.
Wallace was a better engineer than
Goethals, but Cocktails was the bet
ter executive and his name will be
linked with the actual building of the
Panama canal, while Wallace has al
ready been forgotten.
Some have said that leadership is
gift and cannot be acquired, which
Is only partly true. The trouble lies
In the fact that thousands of men
have the qualities OF leadership with
In them now, lying dormant for the
want OF little more education,
Executive success lies in knowl
edge OF the principals and the fund
amental laws Of the how and why OF
mans acts. And therein is the key.

Readers Column
SOME HARMONIC! i!

Editors Note: We submit this lit
tie survey on Democratic conditions
from correspondent at its face
value. It will prove interesting read
ing as an Introductory to the Demo-
cratic primaries.
Minot, n. D., May ~, 1914.
Editor of the Tribune,
Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir: Your editorial on "Bryan
in 1916" interested me and now i!
want to give you resume of the
situation as see it. 1t follows and
have no apologies to make.
At the statewide meeting of the
democrats in this city last February
all was apparently harmonious but
since then the harmony has apparent
y been disrupted by official pros
perity. That word "Prosperity"
seems to be sort of hOodoo word
for the democratic party. When the
Republicans used it as their battle
cry-the Democrats had as much
chance of electing President as the
MeIicans have; and now that pros
perity is with them and shines on
them in federal appointments and in
the success that Wilson has made,
il brings but discord in the ranks.
No Real Candidate.
They will be expected to nominate
state ticket at the state primary
which is just six weeks away and as
yet they have no real candidate for
governor and the rest of the ticket is
a blank. It is true that +. o. He'll
strom has announced himself for
governor, but this is not considered
an asset Dy the democrats of the
state who have a desire to see the
successes Of John Burke repeated.
On the contrary it is a liability, for
Hellstrom, however right his inten
tons, can never win. His main faults
are an immense, almost sublime, ego
tism; dense ignorance and a pro-
found lack OF TACT political judgment
and even good sense. He cannot be
taken seriously as a candidate-and
he is not.
A Christening Tic.
This is not a cause for any diVi-
son among democrats Rather, it is
tho one Christening tie that might
bind them together-the prospect
of having to accept hl.. g a candi-
date. Yet there is a division. And
publicans, who have themselves SUI
fered a schism in their ranks, can
now laugh a little at similar
schism that has begun to show in
the ranks of democracy. Already
there may be said to be insurgent
Democrats and Stalwart Democrats.
Perhaps the line is not yet plain
but it is there.
Strange 5edfeIIows.
A curious combination of demo-
cratic leaders are gathered together
in the new movement and the brO-
mide that connects politics with
strange bedfellows never was more
bromide than in this instance. Here
we find Frank Wilson, state oil
inspector for two terms under Gov
Eurke and editor Of the B;athgate
Pink Paper in holy alliance with his
ancient enemy, S. B. Brynjolfso2,
former state chairman. We have
Fred Mclean hugging to his bosom
the sylph-like form of George Duis,
former state senator :
The publicity required is secured
through an obscure reporter in a
Fargo paper, who "makes story"
out of every hint given him. TO what
extent this movement will permeate

cells Of necessity 10 the food com,
bine, must compete with the Siberian
and Chinese product.
The National Model License league
wants to know what this prohibition
movement means. In answer TO it's
own question it replies:
Does it mean that the people OF
this country are determined 10 sur
render the use Of wine, beer, whisky,
cordials, etc, and cOnfine themselves
in the future TO grape juice, coca
cola, lemonade, pop and the like?
Can it be possible that the league
has overlooked the fact that grape
juice is now the official beverage?

LOSE HORSES IN A STORM.

Fifteen colts belonging to Alfred
Staley OF Garrison were found drown
ed in Douglas creek last Thursday
May I. They were driven in a body
by The storm into the creek and for
some reason were unable to make
their way across. The loss of so
many well grown colts is a serious
loss to Mr.. Staley. For years the
ranchers and Indians have paid toll
IN cattle and horses to the creeks
running through their land. It is
not known whether any other losses
were caused Y the storm or NOT.

WILSON'S rRiRlIrE

Following is President Wilson's com.
plete tribute to the heroes of Vera
Cruz:
Il know that the feelings which
characterize all who stand about me
are 1ot feelings that can be expressed
IN eloguence or orat0ry. For my own
part, have a mixture of feeling.
'The feeling that Is uppcrmost Is
one OF profound grief. that these
lads should have to go to their death.
But yet ] feel profound pride and
envy that they should have been per
mItted to do their duty so nobIy.
'Jheir duty is not an uncommon
thing. Men are performing it in the
ordinary walks Of life but what gives
these men peculiar distinction is that
they did not give their lives for them
selves, but gave their lives for US,
because We, as nation called upOn
them.
Are you sorry for the lads? Are
yon sorry for the way they will be
remembered?
- hope to God lcne of you will
join the list, but If you will You will
join an immortal company, and while
there goes out Of our hearts an affcc.
tionate sympathy for them, we know
why we do not 20 away from this oc.

with confidence that all will be work.
