2 $¢ arry S. Black, Skyscraper Builder, and Banker Joseph, 4. Talbert Believe Standard of integrity Among | Successful Business Men Higher in America Than Elsewhere. “AS a matter of cold fact, no successful business man in| modern times can be honest. Conditions in business are | such to-day that the business man must take gross advan- tage of his competitors every chance he gets or go to the wall. Competition is tog keen.’’—Accusation made by the} ev, Reginald John Campbell, pastor of the City Temple, Lon: , don, England, who is here on a preaching tour, in a lecture delivered in Philadelphia. ihe Evening World has submitted the above startling charge to prom: snent business men of Aew York Gity, and to: cay prints two more ofa series of interviews on the accusations of the aoted London clergy: man, whose views on the relation of the @hurch to problems of the material world have given him an interna: tonal reputation, REV. R. J. CAMPBELL, ——— Harry 8. Black, president of the United States Realty and Improvement Com- pany, which owns property and has contracts for construction of skyscrapers in Chicago, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Richmond, Atlanta, Boston, Ottawa, Montreal and Chattanooga, as well as New York City, takes tsaue with the London clergyman, basing his statement upon an actual business experience covering « pertod of twenty years. | Mr, Black bas presided over the erection of more than five hundred aky-| @orapers, and haa employed many thou- sands of men, end his company, next to the radirouds, is the largest purchaser of | steel in the country. He said: “We are the ptoneers in the erection of the modern steel @keleton buflding. In one department alone--I refer to our | construction company—the aggregate of our buiiding business ranges from $20,- 000,000 to $29,000,000 a year, and the larger Dart of that {s executed by preliminary verbal agreoments. HONESTY ONLY HOPE}! OF ADVANCEMENT. ‘We own and operate about $50,000,000 worth of real estate, and our taxes to) the City of New York this past year | were nearly $700,00. To handle this| Property, including the number of em- ployees tn our construction business, we | run as high as from 20,00 to 25,000 men | on our daily payroll. “I cite thie as the preliminary of my | refutation of the accusation made by the Rev. Mr. Campbell, for the ehtet hope | of advancement in every one of these | empioyees is based upon the recognition | of hia personal honesty, for honesty the first step in character building. “The Rev. Mr. Campbell's char- | acterization of honesty amoug Dusiness men may apply to his owm countrymen, but it certainly | does not apply to Americans, I | Deliove the standard of honesty is | Righer among business men in | Amerioa than in any other coun- | try in the world. ' “Instead of it being necessary for a | business man te@ be dishonest in order | to be euccessful, I do not believe that any man can be successful in any Hne if he is dishonest. PRACTICALLY ALL OF 'THE BIG BUSINESS TRANSACTED IN THIS COUNTRY IS FIRST CO, SUMMATHD BY VERBAL CONTRACT. “I a man did not live up to his agreements he could not be successful. The greatest asset a successful business man has in this country is his honesty, and for @ man to succeed his word must be literally as good es his bond.” HONESTY STILL THE BEST POLICY. Joseph T. Talbert, vice-president of the Natfonal City Bank, a brilliant young | banker who began his business experience as an office boy in a general store at San Angelo, Tex., located a hundred and fifty miles from a railroad, controverted the Rev. Mr. Campbell as follows: “The crookeduess of an ocoasional citisen in any walk of life does Rot justify cordemmation of ninety-and-nine, There should be more of confifence, which time would justify, and less of stspicion, which for the most part is unfounded, “It is about time that some of us young men fresh from the West, who have been transplauted to Wall street, but who have not been here long enough to fall under suspicion of having been transformed by the song of the siren, should have the courage to speak out ind to talk back fn our native todgue to the accusers of this much abused and maligned communily, “Thero never was @ time when honesty everywhere was a better policy than to-day, It is the key- note of business succoss, and there can be no substantial or perma- nent success without it. STANDARD OF INTEG- RITY NEVER HIGHER. “I do not hesitate to say that the levels of human honesty and personal integrity are just as high in Wall atreet ag they are anywhere else in the coun- ty; that there ts as much patriotism, as much regard for the common weal, as much honesty of purpose and high- mindedness in public as well as private affa'r#, man for man, as there ts any- i where els in the country, “In my time | have resided among | the everyday citizens of nearly every 1 of thi of the busine It that tie vnlen is not eo Wf the country Fie nian of Wall street does not possess any peculiar virt) ex which ave not untversal and intensely hu the point of view of a new man in Wall street, a pity that there 4 votter understanding between (he people of the whole country and the £ Wall street." | niry, and have been in the closest h with them, T say men of Wall street, and of tho leaders who are conspicuous in is not to be found among them any single tralt or characteristic nmon among a ke number of business men tn a TENOR LIKE BALL PLAYER.

It looks wintry, and yet is not burdensome. A hat of the latest mode, trimmed with fur and ostrich is uncommon at $14.75—is it not? The model, illustrated—one of the new Saildr Derbies—is white velvet, faced with black, and trimmed with a wide band of imitation white fox (fluffy Belgian hair) with a straight curl Ostrich Plume, with stem fut-mounted—is jast one of the dozen or so styles which we shall present tomorrow. Others are trimmed with skunk-dyed Opossum and natural Raccoon. These Hats are of white velvet faced with black, or vice versa, also all black. Shapes vary in size, from those that are quite small, to those that are known as large-medium—but all are in step with the present trend of fashion.
