Mr. Crael then delivered his inaugural address, which' was listened to with mmh interest. He aid in part: "SpeakSnsr from the exrerieBce of the Carnegie Steel Company, we had not gone very far In manufacturing before discovering that perfect management In evrry d,"p;uitii'ut &ta or?ut-d. and that this depended upon the men in charge. Thus began the practice of in teresting the younc geniuses around e.s. as they prove! tiieir nbility to achieve unusual results, the fcoun-e of big dividends. Th-so reeeited small percentages- In the lino, which were eredited to them at the aettiftl easli in vested. no ehar'ge being made for good will. Upon tliis they were charged i';-ien-st, and the surplus earned each year beyond this was credited to their account. This policy resulted in mak irix forty young partners, a umolur hieh was .increased at ihe bi'ginn'ng o f!ch year. "By this plan they were rapidly pay-, lag for their interests and romis:iiir to betome the millionair s of the then seemingly somewhat distant future, which, however, proved not so very dis tant. They are now rich men. "When a man has achieved a compe tence new duties to his family and to himself arise. Money is properly only th means to an end. "This plan of reward according to re sult s. for heads of departments, has al ready become so general and Is spread ing so fast we may be pure it has proved its efficiency. There are few large department stores or iiiiportaut houses in retail trade which have not been forced to artopt it. ' The great secret o' success In busi ness of all kinds and especially In manufacturing, where a small saving in each process means fortune is a liberal division of profits among the men who help to make them, and the wider the distribution the better. There lie latent, unsuspected powers in will ing men around ns'wbieh need only ap preciation and development to produce surprising results. Money rewards alone will not, however. Insure these, for to the most sensitive and ambitious natures there must be the note of sym pathy, appreciation, friendship. "Genius Is sensitive in all Its forms. Rnd it Is unusual, not ordinary, abiMty that tells even In practical affair. You must capture and keep the heart of the nriiiin.il and supremely able man be fore his brain can do its Ivst. Indeed, this law has no limits. I'ven the nterj laborer becomes more efficient as re gard for his emp'oyer grows. Hand service or bead service. It Is heart ser vice that count.' "If the managing owners ami officials of .groat corporations could only be known of their men and eoually impor tant, their men known to their employ ers, .and Ihe hearts of each evnosed to the oilier, ns well as their diiilculiies, we should have In that troublesome Held such harmony as deli-rhts us In the domestic. It is mainlv the Icuorar.ce of contending parties to each other's u virtues that breeds quarrels everywhere th'-oiirhout the world, between indi vidual;?, between corvorations and their men and between nations, "The Idea of making every workman capitalist and sharing large percent age, of the profits among those render ing exceptional service will probably encounter the opposition of the extrem ists on both sides, tho violent revolu tionist of capitalistic conditions ami the narrow, grasping einplover whoso creed Is to purchase b's labor as he does his materials, paying the price mrre.'d upon and thrre end.

Jim War ren was my college mate and 1 loved him for near sixty years. He was only two months my junior and 1 some times wondered who would be called away first What an awful death was that Crushed and mangled and his poor old body torn and dragged for a Quarter of a mile and his dismem bered limbs strewing the track and his brains birding the rails. Alas, how little do we know about life or death! Sometimes 1 watch the cattle going to the slaughter tien and am thankful that providence conceals from them their impending fate, but wa do not know. much more about our own. How shall we die and when? James War ren was one of my true friends. I loved to love him and it gave me com fort that he loved me and always called me Charley, as tenderly as a brother. His body was killed and that was all. His pure soul went back im mediately taoits Creator and is now resting in the bosom of God. That is my faith and I hope it is the faith of all those who loved him, for my heart bleeds with them. 'Strike tor your iiui aud your hres. Strike for the green graves of your tires. Strike until the last armed foe ex pires." I used to speak that speech, and when I got to that part which said, "They come they come the Greek th? Greek!" I put on martial agony and elevated my voice and shook the floor. I thought of all this the other day, when I read about the strikers in Atlanta going to Mr. Byrd's pub lishing houFe and trying to seiuce his non-union printers to leave him. His partner, Tom Lyon, showed fight and used some cuss words and drove them off, and they had him arrested and tho recorder fined him for disturbing the public tranquility, but if I had been the recorder I would have ex cused Tom. This thing has come home to me at last, for Mr. Byrd is printing a book for me and I can't get a copy, and am fighting mad about it. The striking in terlopers get all his printers away, but two or three and the rascals hung around the back door and all that Tom ronid do was to watch them and ex claim, "They come they come the Greek the Greek.' But Tom is game and says he will whip the fight and have some books for me by the last of the week. The first edition has all been sold and the second is In th? press and has been delayed and en filaded and barricaded and paralyzed by these contemptible strikers, and if there ever was a justifiable excuse for using cuss words a man ought to be hired to stand at the back door and cuss 'em by tbe day as fast as they came. I've no patience with these strikers and less with their leaders. One of my boys has just established a telephone plant in Houston, Tex., and had about forty girls employed at good wages, when suddenly some in terlopers came and made them all strike and he hired others to take their places and the interlopers went round to all Lis patVons and tried to get up a boycott, but failed. The rich Mr. Huntington Is the chief owner and he telegraphed my boy to whip that fight regardless of exprnsa and he has whipped it. Last year at Dayton, Ohio, a big hearted rich man estab lished a cash register plant and had two hundred girls employed and he Cared for them just like they were his children and had hath rooms on every floor anl hot and cold water, and mirrors and soup and towels, so that they could bathe and clean up before they went borne and the girls were contented and happy, for ail this wai no part of the contract, but some In terlopers came along and ordered a strike because some poor old woman who did not belong to the union had the Job of washing the towels that the girls used in their bath rooms. Well, now, that Is one side of the ease, but it Is said every case ha-i two sides. Tho war between capital and labor still goes on. but labor han but little to complain of In this blessed land. Wo see by the papers that these union strikers in Atlanta have plenty of money in their treasury, to live on while they are idle and some of them have gotten up a baseball club and are 'having a good time generally. There is no suffering here like there was lii London seventy-five years ago when Tom Hood wroto the song of the shirt and the lay of the . laborer. .It would make an engel weep to read that poor woman's song: "For its work, work, work my. labor never flags. And what are Its wages a hod of straw". : A ,crust of bread and rags, ' This shattered roof, this '...naked floor, a table, a Dtoken chair, An, a wall so blank, my shadow I ' thank For sometimes falling there." Her sad song aroused all London, but there was no strike. Our . own George Peahody was there in the banking business and it aroused him. 'Immediately he bought the ground in the subtii bs and spent $2,000,010 In building '.cottages for the poor. Nice eottagea. with bath rooms and hot and cold water and flowers in tho front yard and vines over the door and paid the taxes and charged only a little, noininal sum for rent, just enough to keep up the repairs, und In less than a year ho had comfortable homes for ov.er2.iU.Ul0. peopliJht'a thkind of philanthrophy. Our wisest statesmen ask for an In come tax as they have !m England i it is based on that principle that more a man accumulates the heav his tax should be a graduated incut tax and so if he has piled up $10,0! 000 in a year, take half of it for t This would stop Rockefeller and It gan and Carnegie and the suri would be as Bob Toombs sit "poured back in the jug." It is no gr honor to a man to give a good p of his profits to cbarity. It is a t prise and that is all. Men forget t all they have got is but a loan a sooner or later they must give it and pay the debt. Bill Arp in Atla Constitution. .
