UDGE GARY says: “The rules which determine the question of salaries in the Steel Corporation are very simple. First, integrity of character; second, good judgment; third, willingness and ability to work; fourth, faculty for success.” What constitutes “faculty for success” as distinct from integrity, good judgment and willingness and ability to work? | © Ordinary moralists generally deny that enduring success can be | attained by any faculty or combination of faculties that lie outside | of those high qualities of character, but they are wrong. Many a sne- cessful man has lacked those virtues, Some men who have had’ them | have died on the scaffold. It is narrated of Napoleon that when seeking information con- | @rning any man recommended for an important post he would always ask: “Is he lucky?” But luck that plays so large a part in de- | ¢iding battles has nothing to do with making steel. So the question remains: What is the faculty for success in the trust business? | eerie 4k | » NOT TO-DAY BUT TO-MORROW. HAIRMAN EMERY of the Tariff Board, having been asked when the Board would make a report upon any of the tariff schedules, replied: “It will be months. The truth of the matter is we do not, know when we will make a report.” Yet there are people who insist that Congress |} make no attempt to reduce tariff taxes until that Board, or @ permanent one, recommends it. A report from Washington says the friends of Senator Lorimer purpose to postpone a vote upon his case until the next session of Gongtess. It is their hope that before the new session opens the charges of bribery will be forgotten and the prosecution dropped. | » So it goes. Iniquity asks nothing but delay. Unjust taxes and legisiative bribery are greatly disturbed by every menace of imme- | diate gction, but every prospect of postponement pleases them. “Let | “es alone to-day,” they cry. “Reform us to-morrow.” ee ANOTHER ALDRICH PROMISE. F Senator Aldrich’s plan for banking and monetary reform it is said: “If it be enacted into law it will be a staggering blow for stock market gambling.” Tt is added: “The most liquid portion of our bank funds will not be forced to sach a large degree as at present into the making of call loans upon Stock collateral, but willbe available for the needs of commercial business,” By Mauri oe nnn 7. na nema ne hi ce Ketten. | HAVENT SEEN ee ee eT ee eat The Evening World Daily Magazine, Thursday, January 19, 1911.

A reform that by one and the samo measure will promote legitimate business and restrict stock gambling has at least the outward seeming of an ideal measure.
