birth Of invention and observed the
march OF the genius of American
manhood down the decades and
through the generations. He was
not only spectator, but actor in the
great opic industrial and political
drama Of our country. He pioneered
with the pioneers and lived far be-
yond his time. privileged to behold
the things complete. During his life
time, he saw a vast continent ribbed
with steel; the oceans depths ex-
plored: the skies navigated: mir cur

doubtedly he was much influenced by

his political economy was more Hans

when he was In the thickest OF things.
