One of these men started his amazing career as a five-dollar-a-week coal heaver and 3.. today pro- moting the biggest power scheme of the Dominion at Beauharnois. The other man came to Canada as a nineteen-year-old immigrant, is now admitted to be Canada’s richest and most powerful financier, and controls one hundred and ‘forty-five companies. Both these men owe their success to “pull.” Of this there is no doubt, but it was a diiferent “pull” than that which is generally meant when successful men are referred to. Their “pull” consisted in put- ting their heads through the collar of hard labor, ‘ tightening up on the tugs and going over the top . with their load. We have been listening for a long time to those of our prominent men who claim that success is a matter of “push”. They’re wrong. It is always a matter of “pull” that spells success. A real business leader gets out ahead of his business and “pulls” it to success. No business can succeed if the supposed brains and head is waddling along behind and “pushing.” He must be ahead where he can look into the future, ahead where he can see and avoid the pitfalls, and ahead where he can direct those of his crew of workers as they are making the long ascent of success. The leader must “pull” and, being ahead, must lead the way. The ship of business is steered from the forward bridge and not from the tafi'rail. The “lead” dog in the musher’s team is the brains of the team, and as such is given privileges about camp not allowed the other dogs. Any old “musher” will tell you this. The two men to whom we referred at the start of this article are, respectively, Frank P. Jones and Sir Herbert Holt. Both are interested in the Beau- harnois power scheme, but both are on opposite sides, and it will be an interesting battle. Mr. Jones is a Canadian, born at Brockville, and Sir Herbert is a native of Kildare, Ireland. The public is assured a good fight. - .A‘ â€" â€"A--â€"L.-- JD “00“; U“ “ ovvw "a“vv There’s not very much wrong with a. country when two such as these can rise “out of the depths” to guide the destinies of a considerable portion of the Dominion’s business. It has been brought to our attention that there are some boys in Durham, many of the late ’teen age, who are likely to find themselves in trouble if they do not desist in their disturbance of meetings. The specific instance brought to our notice occurred last Monday night when the Father and Son meet- ing was in progress in the Queen Street church. From what we learn, it is because the disturb- ance occurred at the church that no prosecutions are being made as we are informed that some three or four are known, a sufficient number to make a case and give warning to the others who were not seen. We are fully aware that “boys will be boys” and all that, but there is a big difference between the mischievousness of the average boy and the downright lawlessness of some of the young men who should know better. These young men appar- ently do not know that it is a more serious offense to disturb a church meeting than it is one held in a public building, and it is hoped that in future they will govern themselves in a manner becoming their years. _ __-L_'L1-J 1... ‘LA:‘. ‘11“ too far. blitz].

O. D. Seagrave, the British racer, a two-day period of mourning was observed. Bible was travelling at the rate of 202 miles an hour when the accident occurred in which he and a cameraman met instant death. The double killing was the result of a trial in foolhardiness in which the unfortunate driver, the owner of the car and the officials in charge must take equal blame. Lee Bible was a garage mechanic, not a racing car driver, never should have been per- mitted to compete, and his death was a sacrifice on the altar of speed from which no good could be ex- pected. ' It is hard to say at this period in the 200 miles and over racing game what the objective is, but to the millions of laymen who drive motor cars there seems nothing to be proven other than that it is -â€"_‘ 1- _L- seems nothing to be proven other than that it is possible to construct cars which can travel faster than mere humans can control them with safety.

This seems about the manner in which the public looks at these things. There should be no comparison between Seagrave and Bible. Seagrave was a trained motor car racer of much experience; Bible was a garage mechanic with little or no racing experience. Whatever else may be said, however, it must be admitted that both . men had nerv .

The Ford has one front and one rear fender bent bad; radiator ruined; front axle bent; front spring twisted; deck in the top loosened,. two glass broken out of body; and probably frame sprung at least it looks to be, and a number of small things not noticed or mentioned.” We would judge from the above report that the assured’ 8 car was in rather bad shape and would have to undergo slight repairs. And the best of it isâ€"this letter is genuine. Despite the fact that the fourth conviction for bootlegging means life imprisonment in Michigan there still seems to be plenty of this sort of gentry operating all over the State. Whether or not the life imprisonment sentence is a deterrent, or even a good thing, has not yet been satisfactorily worked out, but one judge in the State recently made the remarkable statement that in one particular case that had come before him he would resign before he imposed the life term. - a. ‘ ,AL‘_____-_A._. -__J -u-rvâ€"vâ€"- v.â€" His contention that there are bootleggers and bootleggers is a good one. He has no sympathy with those who make a living out of the trade, but ' neither has be any sympathy with the law which describes everybody found with liquor as a bootlegger, and, on a fourth conviction, automatically sentenced to a life term. The case before the judge was that of a resident whose place had been raided and liquor found. Though definitely proven that this citizen had purchased the liquor for his own consumption, and that it was not his intention to sell, he found himself, when caught, charged under the same statute as the wholesale bootlegger who had sold him the goods. The big trouble over the liquor question in the States seems to have been well explained when, after the Hoover-Smith presidential election, it was an- nounced that “the election is now over and both wets and drys are doing their drinking at the same old place.” A United States Senator also recently said that: “The liquor question in the United States could be quickly settled if the peOple would only vote the way they drink.” _ 0 1 1.1- - -L- _.- v.-- vâ€" v 'I'twis a "biâ€"gâ€" _question, has occupied the stage since the world began, and we have our doubts if it is any nearer a solution today than in’ the days of Cleopatra. The results of the Chicago elections two weeks ago leave Mayor (Big Bill) Thompson in control of the Council.

The Kingston Whig-Standard says that the word “listen” has never been known to preface any- thing worth listening to. But why bring this up? It is an odd coincidence, but the person who uses “listen” to commence a conversation usually doesn’t know the meaning of “preface” anyway.
