The Young Man With Nothing but Brains.

-WHAT"ART HIS OHANOIS IN . MWEI

Whufc «c the ohanoel foe the young ffiau ''with nothing but brains?" Jforty f ©&f« *f">° n0 one weald have thought of Hiking auok % question, Wby should anyone mk it now 1 Is not the market far braina }ust as great afc the opening of the, 20th t century ? Many will contend that the demand lar brains and the market price for fcham feave beeo immeasurably enhanced by our marvellous industrial develop" m«ofc. Others declare with equal per jilateno® that th« young man with nothing bat brains has no chance- at all Id Ibii »ge of aombinationa, Let m lee about that, writes Truman Weei®, in « The Forum i' It Btrikes me thftti the young man with nothing toll brains >hm a« immense advantaga over the young man with nothing bat money, A young man who inherits a fortune in these timea receives a legacy of trouble and worry unless it is securely invested »gain3t business hazards, It will pat grey halis on his head. The late Philip D. Armour once told ma that hft did not give his eons a dollar's worth of stock in his immense business nntil they had satisfied him that they could " make sausage." This was the great packer's homely way oi: saying that ha did not take his ■oos Ui\6 the firm until they had shown business capacity and industry. THI3B m NO " TRUST ' IN BRAINS.

It may be possible to corner the wheat crop or control the yearly out put of corn elarcb, but you cannot ©orner the crop of ideas. If the youog man look! about him and studies the situation he will quickly learn that the age of combination is also the age of brains, "'' ■

It ought to be very plain, it seems to tea, that the greatest opportunity for the ysaug man with nothing but brains lies In fiHiag himself for an important place b the great distributing machin ery brought iato existence by the era of ouinbmes.

He must contribute something to the 20th century crop of ideas, The era of expansion which the politicians are talking about carries with it an ex pansion of the market for ideas-—an expansion beyond the dreams of the generations of yesterday.

IT IB 10 BE A BATTLE OF IDEAS, and the man who baf none will have to " go way baok and sit down " with the typewriter girl, or the telegraph operator, or eorae one else who does nothing bat handle other people's ideas, The man with ideas will occupy the centre of the stage, and the limelight of public interest and thought will be turned upon him msre than ever before in our history.

For what ate the objects of indus trial combination ? To cheapen the cost of production and distribution. The mosfe perfect labour-saving ma ohtoery' and the purchase of raw materials in great quantities, both of which are secured by the conioHdttioQ of eapittl and mo^roes, tendl to accomplish the first object— that of cheapening production, The man with bruins will not want to be a part of the machinery of produo'ion, He will cot want to feed a tack tnach sdo or carry bobbins in a knitting factory. If he ia of ■ mechanical tarn of mind, and the public school system has not iutirdy mothered or oraehed out hie iovenUva faculties, he may contribute 80038 of the labmr saving machinery of production. It % this machinery of diatnhmioD that will engage the energy and thoughb of the young man with nothing bat bruins. This is the branch of industry that makes the product of a plant »n<i 6adp a market for it; that bringsJt to iba attention of people who need it, or weal it, or think they wioi It,
