MIND AS AN ASSET.

Standard economists account for
wealth as the creation of combinations
of land, labor and capital. Some repre-
sentatives of labor claim that labor
produces all, and demand all its re-
ward Labor extremists and social re-
formers of various sorts would allow
nothing for capital s share or for land.
Many capitalists demand and take to
themselves a grossly unjust share of
the joint production.
None of these representatives of con
ficting interests make due allowance
for mind as fourth element in pro-
duction and profit.
The 2,400 per cent dividend by the
Ford Motor company strikingly raises
the question of the place of mind in all
economics.
In the balance-shect of the Ford
company there appears no entry of the
item - Henry Ford =" Among the assets
plant, real estate, Investments, cur
rent accounts, cash-there is no entry
of mind. Nowhere in the statement,
supposed to be complete, is there even
amy hint of one man s mind as source
of this 2,400 percent profit.
Is the creation of the Ford company
due more largely to land, or labor, or
capital or mind?
1t was not created by capital, for it
provided its own capital as it went
along. Land was used, but it was paid
for out of the operation of the con,
Germ. The labor also was paid gener-
ously, even extravagantly, on any basis
OF economic computation. Thus land,
labor and capital, all provided out of
the concern s own processes, are elimi-
mated from the search for what ha
been called the miracle" of the Ford
success.
Is it not necessary to believe that
the mind of Henry Ford was the chief
factor in the creation of this success2
The case is worth this much attep-
ton, because it is typical of hundreds
and thousands of other cases. CapitaI
often denies it and labor generally dis
putes it, but the fact remains that the
elusive, Unreasonable element in any
enterprise is the mind which conceives
creates and manages.

fewer interests in common with Wash

Maine furnished the central figure in
the conventions of 1876 and 1880. and

had the nomination again in 1888 if he
had said the woodland if he had been

Why then should New England hest

Americas Pioneer Tea Grower.
springfield Republican,

N'ORiihSiAS A1SpubihSoi'J
The death of DIR. Charles Upham
Shepard at his home in Summerville,
S. c., has called attention to the fact,
probably unknown to many, that tea
can be grown successfully in the United
States. DIR. Shepard has been called
the ''father of the tea industry IN
America On his plantation at Sum
mervilie, covering some sixty acres, he
raised about $4,000 pounds of tea an
nually. Nobody else in the country
has done as well, but the demonstra-
tion of the possibility has been a pub
lie service. DR.. Shepard was born in
New Haven, Conn, Oct. 3, 1S43, son
of DR. Charles Upham Shepard, a noted
geologist and professor of chemistry
at Charleston Is. c. medical college
The son was educated at Andover
Yale and Gottingen, and specialized in
physiological chemistry.

WORLDS BIGGEST CLUB.
a. Barton Hepburn, Vermont Honor
airy Alumnus, Is It's President

A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
Chase National bank, who received the
honorary degree of doctor of laws at
the University of Vermont, has been
elected president of the greatest club
IN the world in point of floor space.
This is the new Bankers club of New
York city which ON July l occupied
the three upper floors of the Equitable
building.
The keynote of the club is bigness.
and its members represent bigness in
a business way. Ninety per cent of
Its members are bankers, although it
has not been the purpose of the board
OF governors to restrict the roster to
that profession. The five dining rooms.
the great Longing room, the reception
rooms, including one for ladies, have
loo,oo0 feet of floor space, while the
open-air rooms of the topmost floor
add 10000 feet more. The board of
governors, including % of the best
known men of New York in banking,
business and legal circles, are trustees
for more than Sc, 100000.
The equipment of the club rooms
was financed by the Equitable Build
ing corporation, but the expense will
be rapidly hquidated by the club The
total cost of the furnishings and equip
ment was $750,000 This will be large
~ paid off in the first few months of
the club s existence from the initiation
fees and dues of members, which will
amount to nearly 100000. In addi-
ton to the authorized local member
ship of 1900, several hundred non-res-
ident members have been admitted
There IS already long waiting list.

BARRE Times.)

The Brattleboro Reformer, having
taken upon itself the duty of charac-
terization of various cities and towns
Of Vermont, is likely to meet with
some objection. For instance, we in
Barre feel that being called "'the most
cosmopolitan by no means touches
upon the most distinguishing charac-
terstlcs of the community. Indeed,
convincing than thus far shown to
take from Barre the title of ''most
pubic-sp spirited which the contempt
rary accepts for its community. There
are several material evidences which
go to show that Barre is a very public
spiritcd community, besides countless
Others which are less tangible in form

WASHINGTON, July u. = Expert

have important results as regards the

Rear Admiral Taylor, chief Of the

experiment with caissons to study the
effect of torpedoes. These experiments

are expected to throw light on the
question of what changes can wisely
be made in the design and construc-

vulnerable to torpedoes.

HELPFUL WORDS
