The city Of Pullman. which was founded
fer the purpose Of establishing these
works. Is about fifteen or twenty miles
south of Chicago. 1t was founded by
Mr.. Pullman on an idea of his own to give
the greatest comfort to the laborer and
surround him with some of the refining
influences of the rich There has been
good deal said from time to time as to
the workings Of the system. There is a
neatness, trimness, a uniformity about
everything in Pullman far different from
an ordinary manufacturing village.
There are books, a reading room and
pictures-in short everything to cultivate
aesthetic tastes. But all is vested in the
company. The laborer neither owns any
part or anything in Pullman, nor can he.
Every foot of land, every building is
owned by the company, which will not
sell. Every lease is drawn with the stip-
ulation that the tenant must depart at
ten days notice, and the company is not
required to give q reason. These features
must ever cast the shadow of monopoly
over Pullman.

CERTAIN members Of the Builders
Exchange need to have a little fraternal
enterprise and energy infused into them
If the organization were an exclusive
institution, allowing no one to enter its
rooms but members Of the Exchange, its
usefulness as factor in developing the
building and business interests Of the
city would be very slight Fortunately
there are many members who are clear
sighted enough TO see that the more
interest that is taken in the Builders
Exchange by the people in general, the
better it viii be for the Exchange ana the
interests Of the city. These members
will not permit selfish, exclusive policy
TO rule the Exchange Mr.. Gawthrop's
remark. however. that while this city
has plenty Of individual enterprise, it is
Numerically lacking in collective enter
prise, is in a large measure true.

Henry Clay Lukens, who, under his
own name and his pseudonym Of "Erratic

humorist, poet and paragrapher, was
born in the old Northern Liberties, Phila.
delphia, Aug IS, 1885, His family is of
Holland extraction, having come from
Crefeld, now Rhenish Prussia, late in the
Seventeenth century and settled with
other Mennonite followers Of William
Penn in the then wilderness of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t prospered in the new world,
and has today numerous descendants in
every state Of the Union. Of it's number
was John Lukens, who succeeded Nicholas
Scull, in the colonial period, as surveyor
general of Pennsylvania, and who was
noted in those days as an Indian talker."
Another member of the family was the
scientist Isaiah Lukens, an intimate friend
and colaborer of David Rittenhouse Still
another is the elder brother of "Erratic
Enrique" Mr.. Charles J. Lukens, who
resides in the city of Brotherly Love, and
is highly esteemed in its literary circles.
As a German scholar he was regarded by
Longfellow, Bayard Taylor and the late
Charles I. Brooks as one of the ablest in
this land.
