ons a SULZER'S BIRTHDAY TALK TO THE BOYS OF AMERICA ON SUCCESS IN POLITICS “Be Poor! the World Is Governed by Men Who Were Poor Boys—Be Patient, Have a Purpose, and Keep to It—Give Three Hours a Day to Study. BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. William Sulzer, Governor of New York, will be fifty years old next Tuesday and he haa decided to spend his fiftieth birthday in New York City, where his friends plan to give him a dinner, No dowbt the Governor will re- telve many birthday presents, but none that will please him half so much as the office which came to him from the people of New York in his fiftieth year. Eighteen yeare ago William Sulzer walked out of the Capitol at Albany, and when he bade bis friends goodby he sald: “I will never enter the Capitol again unless I come back as Governor of the State.” And Mr. Sulzer kept his word. It occurred to me that the Gover- aor of New York on his fiftieth birth- fay should be able to give some help- tul advice to the New York boys who are now as poor and ambitious as he used to be. Relatively, of course, Mr. Sulzer 1s still poor, and there cam be no doubt that he fs still ambitious. At the half century of life he hae perhaps attained the half century of his hopes, and what he has to say about the way to success should interest even those boys who want to be THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, New York’s Governor Who Tells Boys How to Win OCW) President of the United States. tell no tales and have no votes, I sug: wested that the Governor take his of New York. “The world is gov- | names from the illustrious dead, and erned by men who were poor boys. | he promptly did eo.

Of course, it began as all birthday talks have begun from the beginning of time. be fifty vears old next Tuesday, Mr. Sulzer admitted, not without solem- nity, then brightening @ little. “And 1 fe young ax I did twenty-five years ago.

Many a time 1 sacrificed big fees be- cause I would not break that resolve, During my campaikn for the governor- ship, Gov, Dix sent a friend to ask me to come over to the Capitol to see him the afternoon of the day he introduced me @t Harmanus-Bleecker Hall, I had to refuse the Governor's Invitation be cause even then I would not alter my resolution. INTERESTED IN THE GIRLS OF NEW YORK, am Just ax much interested in th girls of New York as I am in the bo Mr. Sulzer added, “Mrs, Sulzer and 1 are agreed that there never have beon such opportunities for women in tho hietory of the world ag there are to-day. “3 believe im equal rights ana equal opportunities for men and women. I believe in equal pay. I introduced the first Woman Suf- {rage bill that ever passed in New York, but Gov. Flower refused to sign it. But I scared the old moss- jo much that at the Consti- Convention of 1694 they wrote the word “male” into the Constitution.” From mossbacks the Governor's con- versation turned naturally to his favor- ite study, geology. When I was a boy I had to work pretty hard," he sald. “My parents wore farmers and they believed that a boy should do his share of the work. I did all the chores that fall usually to the lot of a country boy, but some days I would steal away {nto the woods to study the brooks and fields. When I went home I always had a collection of pebbles or a fossil of some kind, I did hot know what these things were, but I took strange interest in them, They thought I was a wanderer at home be- cause of these stolen trips into the woods, but one night a man came to the farm to get dinner and a bed and to put up his horse. After dinner he saw some of my rocks and pebbles and talked to me about them, Next morn- ing when he went away he carried some of my fossils with him, 1 didnt want him to take them, I screamed and ‘hollered’ but he dropped them in his pocket and sald: ‘Never mind, son, when I come back next year I'll bring you a book.’ The man was the State Geologist. And next year, sure enough, he did return and he brought me the vook ‘Firat Principles of Geology.’ I couldn't read very well, but I pored over the plates and I soon found that the book had pictures of fossils like some I had come upon in the woods, Before starting on one of my excur- sions I would get a plece of thin paper and trace the plotures and these I would take with me and try to find fossils like them."
