TOOK HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY

Possibly the gravest blunder which
man can commit, is TO take himself
too seriously, to become so completely
and thoroughly saturated with the idea
that the world will stop revolving
when he dies. to become so self-cen-
tered that he lives only in the sense
of his own greatness, as that great
ness permeates the air he breathes.
Some of the greatest minds. some
of the most successful careers known
in the literary and the financial
worlds have been driven 10 shipwreck
and ruin by the pilots guiding hand
permitting his own egotism TO govern
il as he turned the tiller from the
haven of success and sent his own
hopes and ambitions upon the rocks OF
disaster
Perhaps one of the greatest, one
of the most marked examples we
have of truth of this, today, will be
found in Henry Ford, the man who
started with nothing and in few
years became q millionaire many times
over.
Blinded by his success, drunk upon
the manner in which everything he
touched turned to gold, he became
obsessed with the idea Of his own
greatness, with the thought that he
was the peer of anything save Om-
Impotence, and that nothing was inn
possible of accomplishment with him.
Today Henry Ford, the millionaire
manufacturer. the would-be reformer,
the man of executive ability and cour-
age to execute, blinded by his own
egotism, hoodwinked by false con-
ception of his own greatness, too self
centered to ask or reason, to seek
or take advice, finds himself playing
a lone hand with practically the en-
tire financial world standing aloof
and looking on as his ship OF past
success swiftly drifts to the rocks
of destruction which bound the coast
of an ultimate oblivion.

Editorial
of the Day
A TEST OF THE RESERVE BANK
SYSTEM
From the Kansas City Starr

(frOm The Kansas City STAR
The federal reserve bank system has
brought the country through 4 great
emergency with wonderful success.
Now the question is whether the man.
ayers of the system will be able to
resist the pressure that will be
brought on them TO continue emer-
gency measures under normal condi-
tions.
The banks have discovered the pos
sibilties of carrying an abnormally
large business with the help of the
reserve system. Many of them will
desire 10 continue to 90 the same
thing after the emergency has passed,
when sound business requires that
they get back on their own feet and
release the reserve banks resources
to be used when the next stringency
comes. This is not merely or chiefly
bankers problem. 1t affects the
soundness of business conditions gen.
orally. Every farmer, merchant, en-
ployer, employee, IS concerned in
maintaining workable credit machin-
cry through the reserve bank system.
This machinery is workable only
when it can meet the unusual de-
mands for money that arise periodical
ly from the needs of business. At
some season of the year business
Is much more active than at others.
This tenth district is a great asri-
cultural community. After the crops
1a 1ie.pAcnI nf ha fnr q
dormant during the winter In the
spring the farmer begins to need
money for his operations. This de-
mand increases until autumn, when it
reaches its climax to meet the ex-
penses of harvesting and to finance
the sale and holding OF grain and live
stock.
The Kansas City Reserve Bank must
be able to meet this situation. OBJ
viously 1t cannot do so if it is using
all of its resources TO the limit in
the comparatively slack season of Win
ter. 1t must persuade the banks that
are borrowing from it to reduce their
loans at this time SO that three
months from now it may be able
TO take care of the imperative de
mands of the basic Industries of the
district.
This is not going to be easy be-
cause many bankers would natural
| ly like to maintain the larger volume
OF business they can have through
using the lending power of the fcier-
al reserve system. But the purpose
Of the system is not to enable banks
to increase. their business beyond
their own ability to take care of il
under ordinary circumstances, but TO
help them take care of seasonal de-
mands, and of emergencies with the
least possible disarrangement Of in
dustry.
If the federal reserve banks should
lend up to the limit of their resources
in the slack time of February, they
would have nowhere TO turn for the
funds needed to move the crops in
October. Then the country would
have the same strain and possible dis
aster which it is the design OF the
reserve system TO avert.
AS has been said, this is much
more than bankers problem. The
whole system of industry Is concern
ed in the ability of the managers OF
the system to hold ii in its true
course in spite of the alurements 10
permit il TO stimulate business to an
expansion beyond the capacity OF the
country to sustain.

LADIES' GARMENT UNION
RESTRAINED BY COURT
Must Not Interfere With To-
Iedo Jobbing Company.

Supreme Court Justice McAvoy
granted yesterday an injunction re-
straining the International Ladies Car
ment Workers Union from interfering
with the jobbing operations OF the Co
hen, Friedlander & Martin Company OF
Toledo, formerly engaged IN manufac-
turing women's wearing apparel. Ac-
cordlng to the company's complaint, the
union workers in the manufacturing
plant IL maintained in Toledo curtailed
their output when improved machinery
was Installed. so the concern decided TO
close down the plant December ! last
and engage merely in jobbing, and noti-
iied the union TO that effect.
Ever since, IL was alleged. the union
has undertaken TO prevent the company
from operating as a jobber and has tried
to force the concern TO reopen it's man
ufacturing plant. The plaintiff declared
that the union falsely declared a strike
on at the plant. insisted that no other
jobber or manufactures should supply
the company with merchandise, and
started strikes at factories attempting TO
produce for the Toledo company. such
strikes being discontinued only after the
manufacturers agreed 20 repudiate OUT
standing contracts with Cohen. Fried
lander & Martin.
The action was brought here because
the headquarters of the union and most
OF the manufacturers alleged TO have
been intimidated are located In New
York.

not stayed, the board man said. But,
