A Great Manufacturers
Definition of Speculation
~ Holland.

About a year before the death Of
Abram S. Hewitt, in 1903, I met him
at luncheon at his club in New York
City at his invitation. He was anxious
to talk about the anthracite coal
strike which at that time was a ques-
tion of very grave. concern through
out the United States, especially in the
eastern half.
Mr.. Hewitt was at that time eighty
years of age. His mental activity
seemed not in the least impaired in
spite Of very active business and pub-
lie life. He had served for several
terms in Congress. He was for one
term mayor of New York city. He was
chairman OF the National Democratic
committee in 1876, the campaign in
which Samuel j. Tilden was a candi-
date for president. He had carried on
extensive iron manufacturing He
was president of the American Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers and he pos
sessed a more profound knowledge of
the history of American mining and
mentallurgy in the United States than
any other American citizen.
Yet, Notwithstanding the variety Of
his pursuits and the intense appli-
cation which he gave to everything
In which he was associated, he was.
although frail of physique, of excep-
tional mental vigor, at least for
man of his years.
Mr.. Hewitt went into the philo-
sophy of the relations Of labor to
capital in the course Of our conver-
sation, predicting that the time. had
come when skilled artisans would DOS
sess a considerable part of the stock
of the corporations in which they
were employed.
when that time comes" said he.
1--WE shall begin to see solution of
the difficult problems Of the relation
between capital, ability and labor"
He looked intently at me for few
moments in silence. Then he said:

about the evils of speculation. There
is no evil in speculation. Il is good.

and development would stagnate.
"The trouble is that people are
careless in the use of terms. When
markets are manipulated, when the
game is played with loaded dice,
when there is fraud, moral or legal.

customed to think of speculation in

Let me tell you something from
my own career. With Mr.. Cooper

/ began manuy years ago the manu-
facture OF iron in New Jersey. There
were times when we had in excess OF
three thousand artisans upon our pay
roll. There were some years when
our expenses, we're at least a hundred
thousand dollars in excess Of our re-
ceipts we struggled along not clos
ing down our works, partly because
it was economy not to let the plant go
to ruin, partly because it was real
economy not to turn our employees out

Editorial Opinion
MILTON,s MATER BONDs.

From the Milton Times.
In June, 1911. the property owners
of Milton, with the exception Of less
than dozen, voted for a system of
waterworks. That was an expression
Of the will of the people officially. and
that vote has never officially been
changed. A committee of the new
town board has been appointed to
make an effort to float the water
works bonds. We believe it can be
done.
How it happens that the town
board elected on an anti-waterworks
ticket, has decided to take the above
action We cannot explain, except
that we are charitable enough to be-
lieve in the possibility OF a change
OF opinion, and we hope it is true;
If it is not, what construction may
we not put upon it?

A praisewoFthy campaign against
the purchase and use by women OF
aigrettes for hat and dress ornamen-
tation is being conducted by the La
dies Home Journal. 1t seeks to bring
about the prohibition both by the
enactment of laws and by the educa-
ton OF women who are ignorant of
the origin of the plumes.
These feathers are plucked from
egrets, or herons, during their breed
ing season, so that in obtaining them
not only are the parent birds killed,
but the young are left to starye. 1t
is the custom to pluck the feathers
from the living birds, which thereby
are left to die in agony. The feath-
ers grow only during the breeding
season. Because of the senseless de-
mahd for the plums, the beautiful
herons are rapidly becoming extinct.
Every woman, therefore, who wears
an atgrette adyertises herself as the
shameful accessory not only to the
cruel murder of a mother bird, but
OF several.
The following call for countrywide
action is issued by the Ladies' Home
Journal, in view of which it would be
timely for West Virginians tc start n
movement for a state law such as 9TH
er states have prohibiting the sale of
the feathers:
Inc oIdbSS SON01hlIAGAI las
recently prohibited the importation
into the country from foreign lands
OF all "atgrettes, egret plumes or so
called osprey plumeS, and the feath-
ers, quilts, heads, wings, tails, skins
or parts of skins of wild birds, either
raw or manufactured, and not for
scientific or educational purposes. =
All such feathers are now seized at
the United States ports, whether inn
ported for sale or worn The follow
ing states throughout the Union
New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Vermont, Ohio, Louis
lana, Washington, oregon and Cali
fornia-all prohibit the sale of
aigrettes.
1t is now singuIarly appropriate
time for the women of America to
make this prohibition universal
throughout the country by their re-
fusal to buy or wear these feathers,
and to insist that the legislature of
their states shall join those OF other
states and pass prohibition laws stop
ping this cruel butchering OF the
beautiful mother bird.
