COCHRAN JOINS
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—A young man
walked into the House of Morgan at
the corner of Wall and Broad streets
here today and sat down at the desk
he had had his eye on for 20 years.
The young man was Thomas Coch
ran of St. Paul, Minnesota, who, born
among riches and later forced into
poverty, has struggled back up the
ladder to the point of success where
J. P. Morgan invited him to be his
twelfth business partner. Cochran
officially assumed this enviable posi
tion in the world of finance today.
Cochran was confronted 20 years
ago with the alternative of working
his way through his last year at Yale,
or quitting. His father’s death and
the loss of the family fortune put it
up to the young man from St. Paul.
Young Cochran worked his way
through the last year. He forewent
society, in which he had played a
large part; also football, despite the
fact that he was a member of the
Year team; likewise Skull & Bones,
the exclusive fraternity to which he
had been elected. He took work as a
tutor. He took other work tpo and
when he graduated he had the habit.
Ten years ago Cochran was work
ing for a real estate company here for
wages that almost any Wall Street
clerk would curl his lip at. He had
“stuck” there seven years at the same
salary, but he knew what he was
about. He knew what he had and he
was content to wait for the psycholog
ical moment to get into the big play.
Then Henry P. Davidson, a partner
of the late J. Pierpont Morgan “dis
covered” Cochran and invited him to
help reorganize the Astor Trust com
pany. Cochran’s advance since then
has been rapid, but he has stood the
test and no flaws have been developed.
The real estate clerk of ten years
ago today is not only a Morgan part
ner, but also a director of the Astor
Trust company, Knox Hat company,
submarine corporation, the Kennecott
Copper company, the United Dry
goods company, American Piano com
pany, the Hecla Iron Works, the Asso
ciated Merchants company, Lord &
Taylor.
MARK TWAIN’S TUSSLE
WITH FRENCH LANGUAGE
When Mark Twain was a junior re
porter on a San Francisco newspaper
he determined to learn French, so he
purchased a grammar and a reading
book. He soon began to look about
for opportunities to make use of his
new accomplishment.
Accordingly he began to eat at a
French restaurant once a week. One
day as he and a colleague were com
ing out of the restaurant they met
a Frenchman just outside the door.
He was asking first one passerby and
then another the way to a certain
street, but no one understood him.
That was Mark’s opportunity. The
Frenchman looked at him with wist
ful eyes and began to talk. Three or
four times the stranger was compelled
to repeat his question; then Mark
seemed to catch his drift. But he had
scarcely spoken half a dozen words
in reply when the Frenchman fell to
the ground in a dead faint.
The true cause of the stranger’s
fainting may never be known. Very
likely he was famished, and perhaps
he bad been put out of this restau
rant becaase of his seedy appearance.
But, whatever the cause, Mark’s col-:
league was careful enough of his
friendship hot to tell the incident at
the office of the newspaper, but he
teased the rising humorist a good deal
about it.
When the fun had lasted long
enough, Mark set his jaw. “I’ll learn
French if it kills every Frenchman in
the country!” he announced—and he
did.

LEADER TELLS
W. W. Shorthill, formerly chief
clerk for the Copper River & North
western railway, and at present secre
tary to Governor Strong, writes from
'Juneau to the New Republic, published
at Waterville, Ohio, by the National
prohibition party, as follows.
Returns from Alaska are as yet
quite incomplete, although sufficient
data is at hand to show that the ter
ritory has gone dry by a large ma
jority.
The First judicial division (coast
section, extending from Ketchikan to
Yakutat, commonly called southeast
ern Alaska), the vote is practically
two to one in favor of prohibition. All
but a very few of the small outlying
precincts have been heard from, and
but one shows a wet majority, and
that is the little community of Tena
kee, some 60 miles from Juneau, which
voted 21 to 18 in favor of the wets.
The incorporated towns of Ketchikan,
Wrangell, Petersburg, Douglas, Sitka,
Haines, Skagway and Juneau are all
dry majorities. Two of these towns,
Skagway and Sitka, are now dry un
der our local option law—Sitka hav
ing been dry for more than two years
whilst Skagway voted dry in June last.
It is at present estimated that some
14,000 votes were cast on the seventh
of November, and that the drys car
ried by a majority of from three to
four thousand.
Much good work has been done in
various parts of the territory by the
W. C. T. U. organizations, which are
now found in nearly all of the incor
porated towns, and by other local or
ganizations, as well as individuals. But
after giving due credit to all of these,
the result shows that the vote repre
sents not only a recent change of sen
timent on the part of many, but a gen
eral feeling that the liquor traffic has
long enough dominated affairs, and
that the people ha ye grown weary of
tolerating in their midst such a men
ace to the best interests of the ter
ritory.
The wave of resentment which has
been gradually rising against the li
quor traffic in this territory .(and
which here as elsewhere flaunted it
self in the face of all that is decent)
at last broke in an overwhelming flood
of dry ballots on the 7th of Novem
ber, and the liquorites had no difficulty
in reading their doom in the returns.
Some accept the decisions with phi
losophic resignation; others talk of
fighting. However, the main fact is
that the people of Alaska have spoken
and in no uncertain manner, and the
rest is simply a matter of working
out the details and securing the en
actment of the law to carry out the
wishes of the people as expressed at
the polls. Plans are already under
way to this end, and the next session
of congress will be ashed to pass a
prohibition law for Alaska, which
shall be not only whiskey tight, but
“water tight”—no leaks in it.
The dry workers in Alaska are in
debted to the Anti-Saloon league for
valuable aid in the campaign in the
way of posters, some 60 sets of the
Scientific Temperance posters having
been donated for the work, which were
distributed to the most strategic
ppints in the territory. Reports from
various workers show that these were
used and that they helped in mould
ing pubUe opinion.
In the Fourth judicial division (in-1
terior Alaska, with Fairbanks as the
center) a splendid dry organization
accomplished most gratifying results,
not the least of which was the defeat'
of Tom McGowan, attorney and paid
agent of the liquor dealers, who was a
candidate for the territorial senate
(an exhibition of asinine judgment on{
his part as well as that of the politi
cians who acquiesced in the scheme),
and who was elected by a good major
ity—to stay at home. The fight in thisj
division was led by Miss Margaret
Keenan, territorial vice-president of
the Alaska W. C. T. U., and principal!
of the Fairbanks publie schools. Dr.J
Alline Bradley, of Fairbanks, a womanj
of splendid executive ability, who took
personal charge of the circularizing of
the voters of the division, and many
other prominent Fairbanksans aided in
securing a large dry majority for that
division. The slogan was “Two to one
Dry,” and they came very close to
making it.
The work of the Second (Nome re
gion) division, and the Third (central
and western coast section, Yakutat to
end of the Aleutian island chain) was
not carried on under any general or
ganization, but depended upon the ef
forts of local W. C. T. U. and other or
ganizations, missionaries and citizens
generally. Splendid results were ob
tained in these two divisions, as shown
by the fact that nearly every precinct
went dry, and every incorporated town
did so.
Alaskans have always been a lib
eral minded people, free and open
hearted to a fault; but they have also
been a law abiding and peaceful peo
ple, who have never looked with favor
upon injustice and lawlessness. The
saloons of the territory, from the very
first, have been run in the most de
spicable manner, with few exceptions;
every means being used to induce men
to spend their money, and not infre
quently they have been drugged and
robbed before having time to spend
their money voluntarily. The license
fee of $1,000 has only limited the num
ber of saloons; the licensing of them
in no sense gave any protection to the
public, but rather strengthened the sa
loons. True, the license moneys have
gone into the municipal treasuries
and have helped to pay the expenses
of the towns—in some cases they have
covered all such expenses, no taxes be
ing levied—and the people have been
slow to express a willingness to do
without this money. And the saloon
men have been quick to take advan
tage of this situation, particularly as
it affected the public schools, which at
best have none too much money at
their disposal.
But the public has at last reached
the point where such bribery no longer
controls. They resent having their
children educated on booze traffic, as
it really is, and have written its doom
in their vote of the seventh; and the
saloon man who reads that doom in |
the election returns may well run.
