PORT RECORD
XMAS BUSINESS

The merchants of Julesburg are
practically unanimous in their report
OF a splendid holiday trade, much
larger than was anticipated. 1t is
pleasing to note that this year there
was more trading at home by the
holiday shoppers than in previous
years, this probably being due to the
fact that our stores were better pre-
pared to furnish the particular shop
per with various articles suitable for
worth while gifts. People from miles
around were noticed among the holi-
day crowds in our stores, thus indi-
eating that Julesburg is recognized
as the real trading center of large
territory. This fact is being realized
more and more, the result of extern
sve advertising campaigns of our
progressive business men, who are
reaching out for an increased volume
of business by the judicious use of

his ability to drive hard and perhaps
sharp bargain. lie got into politics and
played with Tammany by taking the
leaders into his big ice consolidation,
which paid enormous profits.
The sobriquet ice King was the
beginning of the undoing of Morse, for
the title did not sit we'll with the resi-
dents OF the metropolis. and there the
sklds OF unpopularity and adverse in
lluencc were creased for Morse. Rival
politicians and newspapers began to
open up their broadsides and Morse was
ampooncd and caricatured as absorbing
the blood money of the poor"

stage where money means anything to

took the fancy of the insatiate ambition
of the unqucstionably shrewd and skilled
manipulator Of corporations, properties
and men.
That Morse did not play a larger and
more conservative role In Wall Street
was not because of his lack of native
ability. it was conceded by even his
enemies; his failure to reach top rank
as n captain of industry was laid to
his following his own school Of ethics.
his individual process of "playing the
game His measures In business were
by no means admitted to be according
to Hoyle, and this barred him from

the most exciting and cventful and me.

America of the last generation. Morse
was known from the days of his youth

Young Morse objected that he wanted

or this job,' said his father. Make
your choice, for you cant have both"
But the father was wrong. Morse
looked up another boy in the neighbor-
