Ho is ono of the few great men of his day who in youth picked with precise choice the llfework he wanted to do, and then stuck. In any other line he probably would have achieved leadership, too; but In his own selocted line he has been a master spirit from every angle. Believes in Men. Such a tralnlng.as this man has had could not fail to make him, as he Is today, In tho prime of life, a veritable part of the whole railroad life of his Immenso system. From section hand business to official generalship, and all grades "In between, Mohler Is posted, and qulle letter perfect. Then, too. he 'believes . In men; that, after all, the human equation Is the groat thing In any task, no matter how seemingly small.
