change his calling as may seem
best to himself. And it has been
this soul Of democracy in our
American industrialism that has
filled the American youth with a
conquering vigor and kept alive
in his mind the spirit Of freedom.
1t is popular to discuss the fail
ures of democracy and it is COM
mon enough to find Americans
who express doubts as to the fianal
results of our effort to maintain
a democratic government. And
the effort is full OF difficulties. 1t
demands eternal vigilance. But
if our efforts to establish demo-
crazy in the earth, to prove its
cause for all mankind, fail, the
blame cannot be justly charged to
our industrialism. The tenden-
cies which seem to threaten our
democracy do not spring ont Of
our industrial spirit, they do not
belong to our industrial methods.
They come out of the social
realm, and should be credited to
the weakness and the insincerity
of our social sentiments, stand
ards and customs They are the
creations of men and women who
are the benehciaries of the wealth
produced by industry and who
use it to set up false and undem-
ocratic ideals of society and to pa
rade the forms Of aristocracy in a
most harassing way. The chief
danger, ifthere is a danger. it is N
the parlor, not in the shop.
Americans are democratic enough
II
in the scenes Of work, they be-
come suspicious when they lay
off their working clothes and put
on dress suits and pass into the
social world. Then human SYM
pathy seems to chill. Then the
laborer comes in contact with a
spirit which he resents. Il is in
the snobbishness OF the parlor,
the arrogance Of the social spiri,
that American democracy reaches
its lowest point and seems to
have its least chance. Il is un-
fair, therefore. TO charge to indus.
trialism the crimes Of social life.
the shortcomings OF the education
al spirit, or the failnre Of politics.
Judged BY every fair test there
are ample reasons to believe
that the democracy Of our indus.
trialism is not a failure, but that
i shows signs Of health and 81
vigorous growth. ! feel justified
in believing that in i the spirit OF
democracy Is developed TO lar
ger degree and in a sonnder form
than in any other department 81
our national life. II IS more dem
ocratic than our politics. than
our society. than our education.
and, regret to say, than our
church felIosships. If the soul
Of democracy is, as Archbishop
Ireland says, "a supreme faith in
manhood" then where will one
find higher bidder. a sincerer,
and a more persistant faith in true
manhood than he will find in the
history and the standards Of
American industrialism? In the
fields Of our industry each man
IS to larger degree the master
Of his own destiny than he Is in
any other sphere OF American
life. There ancestral influences.

ny College stood before the
American Bankers Association
assembled at Chicago and de-
hyered an address on "Our In
austTialism and Americanism.'
The address was sent to
the Associated Press all over the
country. Below is given the ID
dress i'll full:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen:

courtesy and the honor you have
bestowed on me i'll the invitation
TO attend Your annual meeting
and to address you at this hour.
For reasons which must be OBJ
uious to you all | accepted your
invitation with no small degree Of
hesitancv. In very modest way
] have had dealings with individual
bankers at various times, but to
come before a multitude Of them
under present circumstance is a
new relation for one of my voca-
hon.
I confess that / have been much
puzzled to know what would be a
proper subject for me to discuss
before you. 1t has fallen to my
lot to speak to many kinds of au-
3iences under a wide variety of
circumstances. but this is the
6rst time ! have engaged to speak
to an audience of this kind. For
me best of reasons, did not deem
il wise to select technical sub.

bfe, chosen as my theme "Our

aiStiiSliOu OStWNSh Sapitdl aiiu
! labor which in aristocratic govern
ments is real class distinction,
does not represent a real distinc-
ton in our industrialisn. While
economists for the sake of their
science make such classification,
in reality the American capitalist
is an American worker. The
idle capitalist spending his time
in lordly Incidence is not a GUS
tom among Americans. The cap
tains OF American industries do
not regard work with social dis
dain as becoming only to the poor
classes. In our industrialism it is
an honor to work, a disgrace to
be idle. The marks of labor are
badges of respect. And i'll the
great army of American laborers
| there will be found none who
work harder. none who more
highly esteem labor, none who
devote more wisdom to their
tasks than the heads Of our great
industrial organizations. Who in
America works harder than Mr..
Morgan? Who gave larger num-
Der of hours and more tireless ef-
| forts to his tasks than Mr.. Harri-
man? Every great industrial en-.
terprise in America is a monu-
ment to the working spirit Of our
capitalists. There is, therefore,
among Americans no just ground
for welfare between capital and
labor as though they were alien
and dissimilar forces battling
against each other for heartless
conquest. The capitalist and the
laborer share the scenes of their
labor and know their common in
! terests and regard their CON-
mon relations.
The second form in which
American industrialism is the
worlds best example Of freedom
from the rule of class or caste is
the ease with which many may
pass from one line Of work to an
other. In old countries the reign
of industrial classes has predes-
tined the field Of each mans
work. Ask an Enslisfman WIN
he is merchant and he will an.
swer, because my father and be.
cause his father before him were
merchants" Ask another WHY
he is a tailor, and the same tradi-
tional reason will be given. The,
inherit an industrial destiny. But
ask an american why he is a
MERCHANT, or a tailor, or a farmer,
or banker and he will reply, if
: he replies at all. Because I wish
to be- His grandfather vas a
carpenter, his father was farmer,
he began as clerk, changed to a
travelling agent, went west and
became banker. II is an alb.
: normal record in which the man
has not passed through many
fields Of industry before settling
down to one field, while the typi.
! cal genius Of our race is natural
conceit which makes every true
American believe that he can do
anything. And it is rarer to find
a successful business man who i
not engaged in several lines Of
business than it is to find one
who devotes all his energies to a
! single industry
Dr. Eliot thinks that the ideal
democracy is a social order in
! which each man will have a free

no just reason why our industrial
leaders should be regarded as less
patriotic that that class Of Ameri-
can citizens into whose hands has
fallen the guidance Of our politi-
cal affairs.
For the past twenty-five years
industrlalism has been clearly in
the ascendancy among us. 1t
has engaged cur best energies,
taken possession of our political
thought, given direction to our
educational policies, shaped our
social influences, and strongly in
fluenced our literature and our
religion. Holding as it does
such large place in our Ameri.
can life, it is inevitably the chief
agency through which the cardi-
nal principles Of our civilization
and the ideals of our social life
must find their largest and their
most effective expression. Our
faiths must be verified amid the
strains and the conditions Of our
industrial activities. Our ideas
Of government, Of society and Of
religion must become embodied
in the laws, the relations and the
ethics of industry. We cannot,
for example, separate our religi-
Gus duties and acts from the re-
lations and the tasks of the shop,
the bank and the factory; and il
there be any need for a revisal Of
onr religious life, il will not be
found in the demand for new
creeds, but in making old creeds
do less service about high affairs
and more service amid the dust
and din of industrial tasks.

TRAGEDY FOR LOBSTER

New York Sun, but for the misfortune

PRIVATE BANKERS FIND
FLAWS in POSTAL IDEA.
Say 1t Would Destroy Business
of Local Discounts.

As was anticipated, the private
bankers have begun their protest
against the postal savings bank propo-
sition," said Frank B. Watkins, a law
yer, from st. Louis, to a New York Tel
egram reporter.
What impression these protests NAV
make upon Congress remains to be seen,
but the arguments of the bankers who
have thus far appeared in Washington
are very strong. and must certainly de-
mand some consideration before the
ideas of the postmaster-general are car
ried out.
The chief argument is to the effect
that under h present system of bank
ing, moneys deposited in the banks of d
prosperous community are kept in that
community and put out in the hands of
builders and men who are interested in
the development of that community.
The postal savings banks, they say,
would be bound by such rigid rules
they could not possibly lend money out
in the community where it was earned
and saved, and where it should be APP
piled.
I'm other words, the government is
not only entering a field of business
which is already established and under
stood believed in by the people, but
it IS destroying the local savings banks,
which are necessary to all small COM
munity interests.
The argument sounds well. and |
think the private bankers of the coun-
try have other reasons which they will
advance later against the uosfaJ haul,
idea. The government should go very
slow in this matter and try the thing
out thoroughly in a small way

WHY THE PIPER KEPT
ON THE Go AT DINNER.

Andrew Carnegie is fond of the Scots
national instrument, the bagpipe, and
when he is at home at Skibo castle
usually has his pet piper to play for
him at dinner. Particularly is the mu-
stefan in attendance when the great
philanthropist has guests.
On n occasion a big company of
men sat down to table. and the piper
pranced up and down the room as he
played.
The whole thing was new to a
French literary a who politely
asked the guest on his right, why
does he walk up and down when he
does this thing? Does it add to the
volume Of the sound, or does it make
a cadenee?"
No" said the other Il don't think
its that. | fancy It's tc prevent the
listeners getting mis- range with a knife
