warded the individual In whom his
practised eye detected the germ Of
leadership was assured of immediate,
rapid, incalculabie advance. II he
would make the most Of himself Mr..
CARNEGIE would find for him the job
he was best fitted for and help him
along that path to the highest success
Of which he was capable.
Thus ANDREW CARNEGIE surrounded
himself with group Of ardent doors
whose ability and ambition have re-
corded their names high on the scroll
OF fame, not only in the iron and steel
trade and It's innumbered dependent
and allied industries but In every I'M
dertaking Of our complex civilized life.
The men he chose In their youth in
the confident hope they would excel
In real leadership have fulfilled his
highest expectations. They have JUS
tilted his judgment and vindicnted his
knowledge Of human nature, and In
the great and fruitful iabors they have
performed in every field Of proper
human striving they have carried to
the world benefactlon from Mr..
CAnNEorE more valuable than the
Hague Peace Temple.
These men, because Of their superior
natural abilities and their acquired
qualities, would have made their way
to the front under the conditions ex-
listing in free America. Their lot was
not to remain in obscurlty. Their
natural tasks were the high and heavy
ones Of supreme command. But men
Of their talents frequently must wait
long years for recognition, must over
come the lethargy and cynlcism, the
timidity and latent Jealousy Of those
under whom they begin their upward
climb. The master who searches them
out, who brings them quickly to the
front, who equips them for their work
with a liberal measure Of power and
responsibility saves to the world pre-
cious hours and days and years Of ac-
complishment, frees genius for Its up
propriate task and sets an example
every employer may probably heed,
for his own good and for the good Of
the world.
Mr.. CARNEGIE was great man In
many disslmilar and interesting ways
In none was his greatness better dis
closed than in his unaltering conf

A Loss OF sse,oeo,oeo Bushels and
g - stnI wheat to Burn.

Fatal weather or other mishap to
wheat has been slaughtering the crop
by the tens of millions Of bushels.
In July, as shown by the new report
Of the Department Of Agriculture,
there were lost some 100000, 900 BUSH
els. This Is a huge bread store gone
out Of the country's calculated sup
plies. On the s2.26 basis, IL the
fspoiied wheat is not good for stock
feed, Il represents half a billion dol
lars snatched out Of the very fingers of
the farmers. It would mean exactly
that much less spending power exer-
cised by them in the country's markets,
in the bank deposits, In securities in
vestments. And, we are bound to say,
It lightens CORRESPONDENCE the burden
carrying of the Grain Administration.
1t appears to justify Mr.. BARNES, the
Wheat Director, in his stubborn con-
tention that the American consumer
must eat his bread at famine prices.
But does it,
This very loss of 22o, 1000, 900 bushels
| III single month serves, in truth, to
emphasize the magnitude Of our wheat
crop, not to mention our vast surplus.
For the indicated winter crop alone,
at 713,O0O,000 bushels, is $4,000, 900
bushels more than our total winter
and spring. crops for either 1917 or
1915, when, in the thick OF the war,
we .Eere the food hope Of the Allies
in tlieir life and death struggle on the
battlefield.
And with d winter crop still indi-
Gated at more than s0loO0, 900 bushels
above the combined crops of either of
those crucial war years We have on
top of it our spring crop still indicated
at 225, O0O,0 900 bushels. We still have,
after the loss of 220,000,0O0 bushels,
an indicated harvest from the two
crops, winter and spring together, Of
94e, 0Oo, 900 bushels.
This is so per cent. more than the
, combined crops in either 1915 or 1917.
1t Is some 340,0Oo,000 bushels more
than our national consuming capacity.
And that indicated surplus Of 340,-
OOO,OOO bushels is a full half Of the
whole worlds estimated import de-
mand for 1919-and more. ..
Could there be any more telling
proof Of the unwarranted food cost
load which the American people have
been packing and are still compelled
to pack? Need there be any more
far fetched defence Of an Irrational
economic policy which insists upon
tsmpering with the law of supply and
demand? Shall there be any other
excuse, political, sociological or what
ever It may be, for the liberation of
such policy by the nation?
The Government functions properly
and wisely when 1t checks profiteer-
ing. for that odious practice is against
the statutes, and It is for the Govern
ment to enforce the statutes. The
Government functions reasonably and
effectively when It stimulates produc-
ton and facilitates distribution. But
the Government functions abnormally
and dangerously when 1t seeks to OBJ
struct the laws of nature.
