years to fly; when man, one looks
upon the flying years with terror lest

Defeat of the Republican party in
1912 was attributed yesterday by Sen
ator McCumber to the newspapers on
account of the refusal of the senate
finance committee that was engaged
in making up the Payne-Aldrich tar
if bill to put news print paper on
the free list. McCumber is the gentle
man who declared the other day that
the press was down on his tariff bill
because it is controlled by the big
department store advertisers. Both
assertions are silly. Roosevelt beat
the Republican party in 1912. Adver-
tisers do not control the policies of
any respectable newspaper anywhere.
The percentage of responsibility
among newspapers is at least as great
as that among senators.-Yakim Re-

THE PREACHERS SON SCORES
Roger Babson, whose business or
usual pieces of information concern
ing American commerce and indus
try and who has subjected the great
corporations of the business world to-
day to searching analysis from sew
eral novel points of view, has recent
Iy given the public this fact to- con-
template. He took one hundred ex-
ecutives responsible for the admins
tration of these great enterprises and
set up an inquiry as to the human
stuff that they were made of, begin
ming with the influences which sur
rounded their boyhood. And he pub
fishes this as the result: Sons of
bankers, per cent; sons OF manu-
facturers and merchants, 20 per cent;
sons of farmers and laborers, 20 per
cent; sons of teachers, physicians and
lawyers, 20 per cent; sons of poor
country preachers, 80 per cent.
The sons of the preachers had a
good start, says an exchange. They
were born in poor, but honest homes,
which is about the best that can hap
pen to boy who has in him talent
for success That 80 per cent of the
men who are at the head of humid
red great American industries are
sons of preachers at that, is surpass-
ing testimony to the value of a train
