BY CHARLES w. DUKE

Are you a success or a failure In
your business, trade or profession?
Are you forging ahead or standing still
floating with the tide?" Or, worse
yet, are you slipping back?
Bradstreet's makes the astounding
statement that the record for failures
during 1918 shows that never before
has there been a higher percentage
of personal liability.
Eighty-six per cent of all the fail
ures reported during the last year
were due as classed to the individual,
while only Il per cent were charged
to extraneous causes.
1t is sufficient to make the average
man and woman in the world of work
stop, look and nsten"-take mental
inventory and get down to brass tacks.
One result of the war has been to
reduce the proposition of success or
failure in individual life to the person
al equation. Just as our armies in the
world war were no stronger than the
individual unit-the man behind the
gun on the firing nne-so also has the
war developed the naked truth that
our national industrial life Is no
stronger than the man In the forge or
shops, the woman In the mill or Office.
Opportunity Can't Be Blamed
Never was there a time in the his
tory of America when individual fall
Ure could be charged to lack of oppor-
tunfty. Abraham Lincoln and host
of others disproVed that There was
q time. however, until recently, when
Jack of capital was the leading cause
n in hi1itu RI or cynin0 RI1f that firoo
has passed From 1890, when failure
statistics were first compiled, until
1912, lack Of capital was leading
cause of failure. Then personal in
competency went to the front and held
the stage for two years. In 1913 and
1914 lack Of capital took the lead
again, only to be supplanted by In
competency in 1915. During the whole
period of the war personal incompe-
tency has been held responsible for
the majority of business failures.
In 1915 these two leaders, with in
experience added, accounted for 62.8
per cent of failures. In 1916 It in
creased to 69.5 per cent. In 1917 the
figures were 74.2 per cent and in
1918 76.4 per cent.
A Table Of Faults.
Going still further into the matter,
the business statisticians figure that
in 1915 74.6 per cent Of the failures
were due to the shortcomings of the
business man himself. and 25.6 per
cent to uncomfortable factors. In 1916
the proportions were 81.5 personal and
1876 nonpersonal. In 1917 the failures
chargeable to the individual were IS
per cent and only Is per cent to out
side causes. In 1918 the total of per-
sonal failures was Sc per cent as
against IA per cent non-personal
How? Why? What's the trouble?
Those who have made up these fig
ures tabulate the following faults
grouped as follows:
Incompetence--irre of other
causes.
Inexperience-witho other incom-
petence.
Lack of capital.
Unwise credits.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-06-02

Speculation-outside regular bust
ness.
Neglect Of business-due to doubt
full habits.
Personal extravaganza.
Fraudulent disposition Of property.
The 'Wallingfords and "Blackie'
DAVIS" seem to have been having hard
shedding for some time, for the figures
plainly show that while frauds slight
ly increased In 1917, the percentage
Of business failures in 1918 due to
this cause was lower than in any pre-
ceding year back to 1890. Specula-
ton has been at a low figure during
the last four years, as have unwise
credits, neglect and extravaganza.
Here are the figures for the years
1917 and 1918, which speak for them
selves:
