Finally, genius or not, politician or not, when Mr. Mellon spoke about the Presidency, people heard him as his party's greatest patrician. Today he fills the place in U. S. public life so long occupied by Charles Evans Hughes. Regardless of such sneerers as the New York World, which reminded people that Mr. Mellon came to office during the Harding regime, no Republican had a better right than he to talk, as he did last fortnight, about "the standard that we have set for this high office."

He heard there was gold in oil when he was 22, and a year later he was in the oil business with an Englishman named M. B. Clark and a mechanical wizard named Samuel Andrews. Bargaining and borrowing was Mr. Rockefeller's prime task. Once he told a Clevelander that he wanted to invest $10,000 before he hit that same Clevelander for a loan of $5,000.
