we are facing changing economic conditions, jt ls^upoto everjj business man to thoroughly
systematize his organization along such lines thai waste becomes eliminated.
Many concerns have been conducting their affairs on a loose, slipshod basis, and even
under such conditions they have made money in days past; but it is obvious that a num-
ber of the old-time concerns which did not imbibe the spirit of progress have been gradually forced
out of the race, and so will others, unless they can see the handwriting on the wall and so reor-
ganize their affairs that they can meet competition along modern and progressive lines.
It is puerile to meet competition by decrying it. Competition is not defeated so easily.
In these days of system and organization no man can afford to ignore any essential which
makes for better conditions.
The secret of the success of the United States Steel Corporation has been a perfect organiza-
tion that has catered to the needs of every country in the world, by the inauguration of the most
systematic methods in every creating and sales-making department, and by pladmg ihes^ respective
departments in charge of men of recognized ability, keenly alive to every opportunity in the busi-
ness world.
The elimination of waste, the adoption of a perfect system, makes for the building of a, sue-. . .
cessful business enterprise, no matter in what industry it may be.

Of course all men are not organizers or leaders like James A. Farrell, president of the Ui^te^;..
States Steel Corporation, who has worked his way up from a humble inception to the head : of-'a; : "
colossal institution, but in a lesser way men can reorganize small enterprises, and by the
tion of waste they will be enabled to meet a form of competition which will be bound to engulf
them unless they remodel their plans.
At no time in the industrial history of the world has business leadership been more empha-
sized than to-day, and at no time has there been a greater demand for keener and more brilliant
commercial genuiuses.
The great battles of the future will be fought along commercial lines, and there will be Napo-
leons in the commercial field who will sway great and peaceful armies under their direction.
It is man's energy which will reorganize the business conditions of the world, and we do not
need to seek long in the events of everv-day life to find examples of the marvelous transference of
one man's mental energy to another. Hundreds of thousands of others go where the leader points,
do what he wills, and for the time being become, as it were, mere extensions of himself.
The greater the mental force the more powerful the influence.
When the brain of Napoleon was behind the pointing hand hundreds of thousands.of men
were transformed into an irresistible onrolling wave that nothing could withstand.
The mental force of our great commercial leaders is behind the uplifted hand, and thousands
will follow.
We have long been accustomed to speak of men who readily command others as possessing
superior magnetic force.
It is an electric force radiated from the governing power and conveyed to thousands of others
—the will and the mental energy of the commander.
The soldier feels .the electric impulse: all th° relis of his brain set themselves in accord with
