through the operation of two great man
ufacturing concerns in Jena, Germany,
one known as the Schott works, where
all the new varieties of glass are made,
and the other the Karl Zeiss optical
works, where this glass is ground and
polished with infinite care and precision
into lenses and prisms.
The ownership of these two concerns
takes the form of public corporation.
The purpose which underlies the con-
duct of the enterprise is, first, to pro-
vide for the comfort of the personnel of
the works, from the directors to the low
est apprentice boy, by means of a sys-
tenn of pensions, sick benefits, profit
sharing and educational advantages, and,
secondly, to provide large contributions
toward the advancement of science.
None connected with the system receives
any of the private profits of the owner
ship.
In the conduct of this business it is
provided among other things that if it
should become absolutely necessary to
discharge a workingman he must not
paid, if he has worked for more than
three years, sum equal to his total
wages for from six months to two years,
according to the length of time he has
been in the works. And after five years
service every workman who retires for
age or infrmity receives a pension, or
should he die his family receives pen
sion. Regular annual vacations are
given to the men, and every month
delegate from each OF the department,
thirty in all, meet with the directors and
discuss the progress of the work. These
delegates are ordinary workmen, not
foremen, and the suggestions they make
are from their own point of view as
workmen, not from that of the foreman.
The entire enterprise is conducted on the
family plan, each member having an in
terest according to his position in the
great Industrial household.
These works have been conducted and
are now being conducted with excep
tional success. For nine years the money
profits have been large, and the activities
in science and benevolence have been
eorrespondingly great. AS none connect
ed with them receive any of the private
profits of ownership, SO if the business
should be closed up one-half of the pro-
ceeds remaining after the debts are paid
will go to the city of Jena. to be used for
the good of its inhabitants, and one
half to the University of Jena. Not one
cent Is reserved for private disposal.
No doubt the purely beneficent and
and scientific ends sought to be achieved
by the founder of the system in opera
ton i'll these works will explain the sig
| nal success which has attended it thus
far 1t would be difficult, II not impos-
sible, to work out such results from a
management guided or controlled by
men whose only aim would be to make
money from the enterprise in which they
engaged. But at least the experience in
the case of the Schott and Zeiss works
at Jena shows pretty clearly that it is
not impossible to combine the philan-
thropic idea with the successful conduct
of an industrial enterprise.

GENTLEMEN AND BUSINESS MEN.

GENTLEMEN AND BUSINESS MEN.
In the past decade or over there has
been no man prominently identified with
the industrial interests of st. Paul who
succeeded in winning in so marked a
degree the good will and respect of all
classes of his fellow citizens as Alexan-
der B. Plough, who has just passed away.
No small degree of the popularity of the
st. Paul & Duluth railroad system was
due to the charming personal qualities
ger. He represented the combination of
character SO rarely seen, of being at
once devoted and able bust
ness man, pursuing his calling with ex-
ceptional success, and a genial and COM
panionable man.
The people of this city, and, indeed, of
every community along the line Of the
road from whose management he so re-
Gently withdrew, who knew the deceased
railroad manager, will learn with deep
personal regret of the fatal termination
of his illness. Throughout the eventful
Ped of his career while a citizen of ST.
Paul we have all witnessed the ire
mendous material development which
was in progress. Among the men who
contributed in full measure to that de-
velopment the name of A. B. Plough will
always be mentioned. The railroad sys-
tenn which he managed with such con-
summate skill has during that period
borne testimony to that development It's
growth during Mr.. Plough's administra-
ton of it is fair test of the services
which he rendered to the people of the
entire state, since in that period there
have grown up along its line a number Of
the most prosperous and progressive Of
the young communities of Minnesota
1t is in st. Paul, among those who met
him, either in a business or social way,
that the regret will be greatest over the
death of Mr.. Plough. The sympatb,,
OF thousands of our people will go out
to his family in the sad aff1iction which
has befallen them, and the community as
a whole will mourn the loss of one of the
brightest ornaments of it's active citi-
zenship.

It happens at such times that queer
things are heard. A certain political can

in fact and they were costly drinks at
that. Then he bought cigars.

the politicians expense said very little
until he wanted another drink Then he
ordered, not two drinks but one and that
for himself.

ashes off his clothes. walked out forget

ney, which is only another way of say
ing that they are brothers to the OK.
The voters of the First district must
either confirm or repudiate this low and
unMor,ay estimate placed on their intel
ligence by Congressman Tawney. If they
re-elect him, then his judgment will be
vinoicated, that any legislative outElge
can safely be committed by a Republican
congressman from the First district. For
two terms Tawney has fought the trust
battles against his own constituents, ard
his reelection next week would mean
that in the opinion of the people they
need a trust representative in congress
more than they need a representative of
their own. or that they really did forget
it in ten days"

.'THEY WILL FORGET 1T IN TEN
DAYS,

When the bill embodying the tax on
Porto Rico was before congress the peo-
pie of Minnesota were aroused against
it, and in the First district the Repub
lcan newspapers and voters were partic-
ularly bitter In their opposition and de-
nunciation. Congressman Tawney was,
of course, in favor of taxing Porto Rico
because the trusts demanded it, and when
friend went to him with the warning
that he was endangering his political fl
ture he laughed and replied:
'Oh, never you fear. I know those
people. They will forget it in ten days.
This is testified to by Hon. E. S You
mans, of Winona, himself a Republican,
former lumber manufacturer, and
man of the highest integrity.
This completely explains the reckless
ness Of Tawney in favoring the trusts at
every opportunity as against the people
who elected him to his seat in congress.
In his opinion the people of the First
district are SO ignorant that they viii
against the constitution, to say nothing
of trust robbery aggregating millions OF
dollars annually. Tawney imagines that
the majority of First district voters are
branded by the Republican party like
so many cattle, to be voted like cattle,
and that there is no outrage he cannot
perpetrate at the behest of the trusts
with impunity, as long as he is a Re.
publican office holder
Very few congressman ever insultei
their constituents as Tawney has his in
his persistent course of opposition to
them and their interests, and it is yet
to be recorded that any other congress-
man ever placed such an estimate on the
intelligence and manhood of the voters
as is embodied in TaWney's complacent
declaration that they would forget it in
ten days" A congressman who makes
such record from the start, be he Re
publican or Democrat, is likely to be
refused a second term almost anywhere
else in the United States, and it was
eVIosHuy mistake Tor the flrsI olstrlct
to make an exception in the case of
Tawney. 1t only encouraged him in his
wrong course. till he -outdid his most
enthusiastic pro-trust colleagues In serv-
fifty to the offensive combines. Before
he was given his second term he was
fairly loW-spoken and inclined to assert
his possession Of public virtues pleasing
to the people Now he makes no such
pretense; the mask IS off. and his worn
for the trusts is spread out over the First
district so deeply that no man can be
unmindfal of the situation. But "they

SENTIMENT In BUSINESS.

1t is accepted as an axiom by the bust
ness world that you cannot combine
business obligation with sentiment with
out disastrous results. In conducting a
business establishment the hard, prae-
teal problem of dollars and cents is
the only one taken under consideration;
and the rule of commercial life to give
as little as possible and get as much as
possible in return is the one dominating
principle. Experience has shown that
no other principle produces results en-
tfrely satisfactory.
Public attentions has. however, been
recently called to an illustration of a
great business prosperousIy conducted in
which sentiment is an essential element
in the policy which has won such sue
cess for It's management. It is furnished

A DELAYED DECISION.

Aside from it's political bearings the
great constitutional question which is in
volved. in the control and the methods
of administration of our new possessions
ought TO have been brought to a settle
ment long before this time.
When the issue of the extension or
non-extension of the federal constitution
and all its guarantees to the new pos
sessions came before Judge Lochren a
direct decision on the question was pre-
vented. In the last case, which came
before the federal court, involving the
same question, a mere technicality again
int9rvenes and prevents decision on the
issue involved. The case came up in
Hawaii, and involved the liberty of a
soldier convicted of crime under the ter
ritorial laws. These laws the supreme
court of Hawaii declares to be obnoxious
to the constitution, and, discussing the
great question in which the country has
so much concern, says in its opinion:
I'VE cannot assent to the doctrine that
the operation of the constitution in the
territories belonging to the United States
depends upon the will or action of
congress extending it there This doc
trine necessarily carries with it the adj
mission that what one congress can give,
the same or succeeding congress can
take away; that, although congress, by
the organic act organizing the territory
of Hawaii, extended the constitution and
laws of the United States to this terri
that part. of the organic act, and that
then the people OF this territory would
have none of the guarantees of life, iip-
erty, and property provided in the con-
ecned as province, crown
colony, or in any manner that
cang1 ess, in its wisdom, or un-
wisdom, might provide: that a tariff
might be levied on the products Of the
islands going into the states; and citi-
zens of this territory might be denied
the rights and privileges Of citizens Of
the United States residing in other parts
of its imperial domain
While this opinion is only that of an
inferior federal tribunal, it is strictly in
line with the dicta of Judge Lochren, and
will go long way in the general esti-
nation to sustain the contention that the
constitution does. follow the flag, and
that no act of congress is necessary to
carry its provisions into newly acquired
territory. It is unfortunate that this
purely constitutional question, which
must find its settlement in the first in
stance through the judiciary, should
have been thrown into the arena of poll
tics, to be fought over in blind fashion,
without the possibility of its adjustment
through the agency of public discussion.
1t may involve an injustice to the pres
ent administration to say that it is re-
sponsible for the non-settlement of this
question before this time. But the facts
attending every effort to bring the mat
ter up for final adjudication go a lone
way to establish the truth that the de-
lay is due entirely to the concerted ef-
forts Of the officials of McKfnley's adj
ministratfon to prevent a decision until
the election was over.
