Wall Street Banker Tells College
Students No Section Will Offer
Such Opportunities.
| -
University. Va—“You should not
Come to New York because there is
no section of the country that will
offer during the next 25 years such
largo opportunities as the south."
The advice to stay in the south
was given by Charles Cason, vice
president of the Chemical National
bank of New York, who spoke to the
students of the University of Vlr
ginia at the convocation exercises
which opened the 104th academic
year.
“The New Philosophy of Big
Business” was the subject of the
address by Mr. Cason who was a;
wmni secretary of Vanderbilt uni
versity before he went to New Yoik
to become one of the leading figures
in Wall Street. He said that he
could speak without prejudice be
cause he had lived not only in Wat
street but on Main street and i:i
miles back on the crude country
road.
“There Is no place In the world
Where there ts a higher code of
honor and ethics than in Wail
street,” Mr. Cason continued "Any
> man of any institution showing the
slightest disposition not to play lair
is not long allowed to play at all.”
“A new type of business man has
emerged very rapidly in recent
years. This is the new business lead
er with a vision. He is educated
either by his own efforts or through
college. He is a daily student of so
cial and economic conditions
throughout the world.”
“Today we know that real suc
cess In business cannot be attained
at the expense of others. Business
can succeed only in the long run
by acquiring and holding the good
will of the people. To do this it i*
necessary to render an honest, in
telligent service at a fair price.
“I am not suggesting that you
enter big business,” said Mr. Ca
son in conclusion. “I am not sug
gesting that you come to Wall
street. If you are seeking adventure,
if you want the thrill of creating
something you vill find it here lr.
the south.
“But no matter where you labor
you will be partnership with Wall
Street, for this 1s an age of econo
mlc unity. In the south th“re has
too long been a disposition to go
against the ourrent of American
big business and to begrudge even
a fair profit to good service."

One-Third Doomed To Obscurity
And One-third Rule
The World.
■‘One-third of the sons of preach
ers are doomed to obscurity; one
third achieve mediocre success and
the remaining one-third rule the 1
world."
These are the statistics compiled :
by Bruce Barton for the American
Magazine and included in an arti
cle which declares that the preach- |
er's son lias a distinct advantage
over the average youth. He attri- j
butes their success to the favorite i
environment they have during their j
boyhood.
“The preacher’s son has, first oi j
all," says the writer, "what S. S.
McClure once said lie hoped to be
queath to his children—the advan
tages of poverty. Very early In life
he makes the acquaintance of hard
work. He must save money and he
has very little o' it to save. He
knows he must hustle and loses no
time in the delusion that somebody .
is going to ‘make’ him.
"Furthermore, he is brought up in ;
an atmosphere of good books ami ■
fine conversation He learns the use j
of words, the magic tools by which
men's minds and actions are In
fluenced. Lastly, he is surrounded
by the expanding power of faith. In
sermon and prayer daily he hear:,
‘If ye have faith and doubt not; :f
ye shall say to this mountain, Be
thou removed and cast into the sea,
it shall be done.’ That is the faiih
that has built railroads and cities,"
The author cites as great exam
ples of preachers" sons who have
"moved mountains;" Grover Cleve
land, Woodrow Wilson, James
Buchanan, Chester A. Arthur,
Charles Evans Hughes, Henry Clay
and Jonathan P. Dolliver among
politicians and states; the great
railroad king, Fiarriman and Cecil
Rhodes among iinanciers; Agassiz.
Jenner, Linaeus and Morse among
scientists: Parkman. Hallam, Hob
bes. Froude and Slcane, historians,
Sir Joshua Reynolds among artists,
and Sir Christopher Wren among
architects, Tennyson, Coleridge, Ad
dison, Cowper, Goldsmith and
Emerson are among the writers
who were preachers' sons. ,
Mr. Barton adds to the group
Berlin H. Ayicsv.orth, president ot
the National Broadcasting company
us an example in the world's new ■
est industry of the ability with
which the prevailing one-third of
preachers’ sons are endowed.

An Expensive luxury
The GafTpey Ledger.
American motorists paid $733,
226,000 in automobile taxes in 1026,
according to a survey Just com
pleted.
The largest single Item was for
$296,000,000 for registration fees tn
the 48 states and the District of
Columbia. The second largest was
the gasoline tax and it amountel
to $205,000,000.
Personal property taxes on auto
mobiles amounted to $125,000,000.
while the excise tax on passenger
cars ran to $86,713,000. The same
tax cn commercial vehicles came to
$1,831,903 and for accessories and
tires to $5,403,155 while the occupa
tional tax on passenger cars for
hire totaled $176,815.
Municipal taxes totaled $15,000,
000 thus bringing the grand total
to $735,226,173
Regardless of their cost no one
owning an automobile would 'w
without one if it is at all possible
to possess one. The number of auto
mobiles in use is constantly grow
ing, due not alone to new buyers
but to many families increasing the
number owned. Many people have
been alarmed about the so-called
saturation point.
60 Wives In 30 Years.
Cairo, Egypt.—A prominent resi

gone to trial to determine what be

married in 30 years. Some of his
wives were lost through divorces
allegedly forged and others died
mysteriously, authorities say.

Would Settle On
City’s Differences
(Special to The Star.
After reading Mr. Dorsey's state
ment In The Star and after consul
tation with Dr. Oold on the .situa
tion In our city which is calculated
to engender strife and unrest in
our city, it seems to me that this
matter could be settled mutually
and stop this strife. 1 did not vote
for Mr. Dorsey, but he was duly el
ected and is entitled to a fair show.
I voted for all four of our aldermen
and consider them as god men as
we have in our city. I have been ac
quainted with Di. Gold for 40 year,
and his character is unquestioned
and he is one of the leading physi
cians and as a citizen there is not a
better citizen in the county, not ev
en in the state. Those other three
aldermen I have known from child
hood and their record is equal to
that of Dr, Gold, and as to the may
or I have not known him but a
! short while, but I know nothing
against his reputation.
Now I suggest that a call meeting
be held by the citizen.; of our city
Let all citizens interested conic to
gether and agree upon some terms
i of compromise and stop this racket
as it has a tendency to engender
strife.
I make these suggestions and If
the editor of 'Ihe Star thinks these
suggestions worth while, make u
call say Saturday at 2 o’clock nn<i
let us settle this thing.

SAYS STAMMERING IS
ON THE INCREASE
Indianapolis.High tension Ufe and j
the whirligig of modern pleasure.;
are due to make the United States j
a nation of stammers by the year i
2127
Fortunately this dirt- contingency !
depends upon an increase in the j
number of stutterers and stammer- !
ers in the same ratio as the increase
in the last 20 years.
Since 1907 stammering among
children from three to six years of
age has increased 10 per cent, ac
cording to Benjamin N. Hogue,
widely known authority on speech
“Net only have stuttering and
stammering been aggravated but 1
other speech disorders as well," the I
survey states. “More than a million |
persons of all ages in the nation to -
day are afflicted with stuttering or
stammering.'’
