world's history. Now, at his death, the boy who at one
time went hungry and half elad, left a fortune estimated
in the neighborhood of $100,000,000.
The story of a master is and must always be a wonder
tale for youth; and front its struggle, its triumphs, the
wisest of mankind can ever gather new wisdom. 1 1 am man
was a man of marked individuality his life gives a sense
of novelty and distinctiveness. Not always was his course
such as to command the plaudits of mankind, but he gave
battle with the implements at hand, lie fought fire with
fire and all the world loves ji fighter.
Harriman's life shows what pluck, perseverance and
hard work ran do in this great land of ours. AVe see him
first among privation anil hardship; we see him rising as
steadily as the sun in the world of finance; we see him en
throned as a husband and father in his home, and, in after
years, the world may come to know him better, in better
understanding the conditions in which he labored.
EDWARD IIENRY UAHMMAW
The mightiest brain the financial world ever saw has
been stilled forever. He passed much as he had lived,
fighting to the last. For months an indomitable will and
iron nerve had kept the great reaper at bay, until his af
fairs had been so adjusted that no damaging effect would
be left to the world in which he moved, a leader of leaders.
The story of Edward Henry Harriman is eloquent with
inspiration to the youth of the land. He came of a poor
family. His father was an itinerant minister, who chang
ed parishes regularly witlf the coming of spring. Young
Harriman was often pressed for food and clothing. Not
until he had reached manhood's estate did he have an extra
dollar.
His career in the financial world started as a broker's
clerk. In the early 70s he learned the "Wall street game.
His ambition knew no bounds. Rapidly he outstripped
his teachers Jay Gould, Jim Fiske and Jay Cooke. His
genius led him to see the great undeveloped west. He se
cured a few broken-down eastern railroads. He became
bolder. He reached out for more. When other mag
nates gaye him battle he rejoiced. He went on until he
built up the greatest organization of railroads in the

immoveable. 1 f it is. Dr. Hannis Tnvlor. the. intermit imuil Mmvii
law expert, argues the United States has a legitimate claim
to it. On' the other hand. Alvoy A. Adee, third assistant
secretary of state and the repository of the diplomatic
traditions of the department, says that the ice can't be im
moveable and that therefore the north pole is in the open
sea and the nations of the world have an equal interest
in it.
The only way to settle this disturbing question is to
have some one camp out at the pole long enough to deter
mine bevond doubt that the place where he is'sitting is not
moving south'.
