TRAINING TO THINK

MI Charles II. Sahiu. president Of
the Guaranty Trust Co, "f New York.
and one OF the most successful Of our
great bankers. contributes an article to
Golfers Magazine in which he discusses
the college man in business. The meat
Of his article. we believe. is found IN

What We most need today in the
business world IS the ali-aroUnd man

its relations very well indeed. ana then
also knows great many other things
fairly well.
The greatest asset which any young
man can acquire is the ability to think.
It is not vast fund OF knowledge. 1t

L. can catalogue in his brain and call
forth on short notice 1t is the capa-

necessarily thinkers on profound psy-

THE QUALITY OF PUBLIC

The above is from an address deliver
ed by Senator Joseph R Hawley Of
Connecticut over thirty years ago.
Senator Hawley, was one OF the most
distinguished public men OF his day. a
newspaper editor. senator from Con-
neeticut for twelve years, student OF

THE BLAME IS ON MIR.
WILSON

Mr.. J. l.. Garvin. publisher Of tn"
London Weekly Observer. is one Of the
English public men who has no mis-
understanding OF the situation in the
United States. Mr.. Garrin points out
that the defeat OF the treaty OF peace
was due chiefly to opposition 10 Fr"7i-
dent wilson's policies. Mr. Wilson
sought to make Of the war. OF the nego-

Mr.. Garvin well points out that had
Lloyd George or Clemcnceau faced a
similar situation they would have fall
en- long ago. The President depended
on public opinion to override the Senate.
He invited 4 fight and he met defeat.
It is unfortunate that the peace treaty
and the League OF Nations should have
become embroiled in the personal an
tazonisns Of the leaders at Washing

with any other man. He has been tho
