A MAX who hits made mere .speeches than theie are blades of prnss in I
" Independence Square.
Whee spoken words, if penned all at once, would exhaust the world's
Ink supply.
Whose published works, if collected, would fill a library twice the si.e
of that created by Dumas pere and his collaborators.
Who has shaken hands with mere persons than are represented in the
gross birth rate for the City of Natal for the last seventy-six years.
Whose audiences, if armed, trained and pieperly equipped, could con
quer the rest of the weild within six months.
Whose ranee of knowledge ex
tends from the habits of the lbe
Africanu" te summaries of imports
Itnd experts in the City of Metz
during the first six months of 1S9T.
Who, needing no introduction
whatever, has been introduced
eftcner than any ether man
Such is Dr. Edward James Cattell,
who leaves the office of City Statis
tician, which in the last twenty-two
years has offered such exercie te
his vtdem and natural Rifts a te
make him the most widely known
man in Philadelphia and one of the
most widely known in the United
States.
These are no exasperation. What
the Chamber of Commerce has ac
complished in engapinp Or. Cattell
as "Field Manaper of the Conven
tions and Exhibitions Bureau" has
been te obtain the services of one
whose name, face and catholic
ideology aie known te almost every
man, woman and child in the city
nd te millions outside the preatest
publicity coup of a publicity era.
Of no ether Philadelphian can this
much be said. The preatest doctors
and lawyers, and rather meie e the
jrieatest artists, enpinees and pro
fessors are mere symbols te
most of u. And even the Mayers,
the Congressmen and tne penucui
bosses must remain hardly meie
than abstractions te the euik ei men.
