NbAAAAAA1AN Aal4g PAoSl SSoANN "NSh
many MEN have come TO New
York. the financial center OF the
Western hemisphere, to participate
more fully, completely and intimate
ly in those activities, all of which are
Classed under the one head-trade-
both national and international. Some
Of these men have come in the past
and are coming today. with no object
in view other than to derive from
their participation in the game Of
business all hat they can make for
themselves and their families in the
wa of accumulated wealth Of pro
portions. Such men. because Of their
marrow vision and innate selfishness.
even though they may attain the goal
for which they strive, will soon be
forgotten.
There is another type Of men who
have come east from the rugged west
impelled not only by the ambition to
succeed in the accumulation Of this
worlds goods. but who are all on
fire with a message to tho whole bust
ness world, born OF their early expo
r~Iences and their study of the lessons
t be learned from observations of
their fellows in their efforts to attain
success in that wonderful and rugged
country whence spring real men and
where genuine ~far-seeing thought and
laudable ambition are terminated.
These men hav earned the lesson
that those only derive the really
worthwhile things from life who have
something of the spirit of work and
Righteousness in both business and
politics to contribute to life for tho
benefit of others. and. therefore. in
directly and unconsciousiy for their
own benefit. For It is as true as
gospel that he who would attain high
station and emoluments for himself
and family must work and work hard
thought and his labor to others II he
would attain success.
One Of the latter type, recently come
to New York is the Hon. Charles n.
Haskell, who bears the distinction of
having been the first governor OF the
state of Oklahoma He is q clear
thinker. a hard worker, a man of
experience in business and stateCraft.
a student Of men, n politician Of the
right sort. practical, with his feet
on the ground. not s~elf-centered. but
n who is happiest when extending
Invitations to his fellow men to accom-
pany him along the road to success
provided they will work as hard as he
is wiling to work and will be guided
by the same principles as he has
chosen to guide his business. political
and personal conduct. He is a thor
oughgoing American with views Of po-
iitical conduct founded on the good
old-fashIoned principles of Justice in
dealing between man and man and
OF righteousness in personal living and
thinking, and in relations between So
caed groups Of our own peoples and
between our own government and
those OF the other peoples OF the
earth.
Ex-Governor Haskell sprang from
the middle west. He was born in the
state of Ohio, which has produced
many remarkable men in American
history including six presidents of the
United States. During his boyhood
and youth he uncousciousIy drank
in the pure American atmosphere for
which his native state has become IA
nous and this no doubt exerted a
controlling influence on his after life.

he easily made friends. These he has
kept throughout his career because of
his stability of character and strict
adherence TO what appear to him to be
the fundamental American ideals. He
enjoyed popularity at homo among
those who made him the first chief
executive of the state OF Oklahoma
and he enjoys popularity elsewhere
throughout the United States. but it
IS not the kind Of popularity which
seeks merely TO please every group Of
voters. The popularity which he m
Joys is the kind which is founded up
on respect. He has a host OF friends
in all political parties because those
who know him. believe in him as a
sincere forward-looking American at
heart who would not sacrifice his be
lief in, or adherence TO. any funda-
mental principle of American doctrine
for all the popularity in the world.
In passing, it should be observed
that former Governor Haskell was
elected governor OF Oklahoma on the
Democratic ticket. This sketch. how.
