The real reason why ;;o many corporations uo to seed alter the original founder dies or kcIIh out is hecausc the executives in I'liuiK'' rolled ho much on the old man' that they became aoft and unable to cope with hardships and disjstern. Tho greatest factor In htiKlneEH mucccsm is not capital or education or other no-culled im portant ractors,. hut rather those ihiee Hlmple upsets known us cha jucter, couraB'. and courtesy.

On t he other hand. If any Investor diver sities too much he Is sure to lose something- on every disaster which happens; hence, (Jn must use his Judgment. This is being accom plished today by some of the In vest merit Trusts and I tankers Shares which are being- offered. The principle underlying rnosl of these is very sound, only the Trusts should buy their securities when securities are low rather th in now when tiny are high. Coi-pnarllons Should it e port "The time has come when hank ers will resort lo something more than diversification and Invest ment Trusts: th- y will demand in formation from corporations of the amount and kind of Insurance which ji company carries, V"-ter- 'day I wan talking to the Editor jof J'oor'i M.uiuul, to which bank ers and Investors refer us a good churchmen refer to his Uihle.

Of course these disasters, to u certain extent, affect business hy improv ing, for a short period, some lin es. Huilding, for example, which was temporarily sluck In Huniu iiurhura, will be very active for a short period. On the other hand, such disuKterH often huve a detri mental effect over a long period for values can never be wiped out without hurting everyone, every where, to a certain extent.

It Is much tmfer to tra vi 1 on n railroad or .stenm.thin line after a wreck; Insurance agenl.s do n wonderful business nfler a conflagration ; people ulwuvs lake a greater cure of their health af ter they have been sick. IbislneHs men. however, huve fulled to pro fit hy Ihe fundamental moral les son which these disasters present. I refer lo the ned of always be ing prepared for unexpected ev ents. "The business man and Investor should not look upon disasters as something out or the ordinary hut should consider I hem us normal events. This not only means that we should Insure unnlnst nil mis fortune possible, but It niruns that we should .always sleep with one eye open, so to speak, ulld, expect t rouble. Should Carry Insurance ''Kor this reason I strongly rec ommend that business men curry every kind of Insurance, .possible, especially business men who are borrowing large sums of . money. Certain public utilities buvc taken out carllutuake insurance . during the past week and such a step Is entirely logical, especially ns the cost iloefl not come out of the stockholders. The various State Commissions allow Insurance of all kinds to be charged to the cost or service, and arc willing lo allow rales to he fixed to cover such in surance as well os other expenses. Therefore, the directors can pass the cost of such Insurance directly on to the consumer. This moans that, the earnings of tho company will continue ns large as ever, while al the snine time, if a disas ter should happen, there would brt no loss tn tho stockholders. 3lnro Courage Needed; ''A few dnys ngo a gre:it event was celebrated nt Cambridge, Massachusetts, the taking com mand of tho Continental Army one hundred nnd fifty years ngo hy Oeorgo Washington. President Cool Id go honored the celebration by hl.i presence. While talking to day with a group of business men ahoul the conditions surrounding the business man today compared with Ihe business man of Revolu tionary Times 11 was shown with what greater security n man can conduct n business today thnn formerly. One hundred and fifty years ngo business was jnnde up almost wholly of risks. First, there was a great political risk of n possible failure to whip Ktigland in which ca.se Kngland would prnp tleally confiscate all business In this country. Then there was a constant fear of being wiped out by the Indians who were incessant ly raiding the outskirts of our ci ties and towns. Shipping, also, was almost wholly a matter of risks: not onlv were there no na vigation charts, lighthouses, etc.; but the sea was full of pirates. I lence tho business man of Hint dfiy was constantly beset with risks taut we do not have to con sider One hundred and fifty years ago there was no way tn insure against risks. There was no such thing us marine Insurance, ami fire insurance was just beine start ed. T have In my office un iron sign that the first American fire insurance companies put on the bnildines thev insure, such houses being treated as great exceptions as compared with all otlurs. "The constant fear of trouble during the early days of our na tional existence developed the typ ical Yankee whose character was largely the foundation of Americ an business thrift, con race. and initiative. Although T believe In tho elimination of risk bv legisla tion and other menus, nnd the In surance against risks when thev cannot be eliminated, vet. I feet there is a certain loss in character development by having all risk el iminated. Too much mice ss mak es busmen men careless, indiffer ent, and soft; whereas risk devel op keenness, courage, and watch fulness, present day conditions probably develop timtdliv nccom panicd by an unwillingness to scratch and fight, !'.' per cent vt the IuikIiics men of today would be practical! v lost f obliged to do bnslnes under the conditions pre vailing In Revolutionary Times; While They Last HATH SALT . . , HATH T.M.C . .
