enters public service in time of peec9
IN more nearly the same spirit that ~
would enter military service in time %
war-namely, from sense of patriotic
duty and desire to serve his country
and his fellowmen.
In recent years we have been hearfnn
a great deal about government owDeE~
ship of our railroads. We are told tfaf
in Germany the railroads are owned b1f
the government and that their opernN
tion is most successful This is true
but in Germany conditions are vmsxflt
different
The military training of the youth, II
fact, the entire trend of education II
Germany is to impress upon the youn
men of that land that they owe service
to their country. When a man entsH
the governments employ in tlle ra14
road business he is as conscientious n
he would be were he entering the gor4
ernment's service in time of war.
If our railroads were to be takefN
over and operated by our government
at this time, how many Of you think VIC
would duplicate Germany's successf
Government ownership of railroad1
may be as desirable in this country Al
it is in Germany, but we must fEst
have public servants who will at least
come somewhere near the standard OF
Germanys public servants in efficiencI
and honesty.
Look at the spectacle we are pre-
senting to the world at this very moe
ment in our pork barrel legislatfon1
Could we afford to have our railroa94

Have the men VINO have lived an
worked simply to acquire great fol
tunes obtained peace of mind, happ
ness and honor? How many of then
could answer "Yes"?
Has the country been benefited b.
the course they have taken? A yer.
large majority of our countrymel
would answer NO" c.
On the whole. the individualistit
age has not been a success, either fol
the individual, or the community il
which he has lived, or the nation.
We are, beyond question, entering
on a period where the welfare of the
community takes precedence over the
interests of the individual and where
the liberty of the individual Will be
more and more circumscribed for the
benefit of the community as a whole.
Mans activities will hereafter be
required to be not only for himself
but for his fellowmen.
To my mind there is nothing in the
signs of the times so certain as this.
How the Rewards Will Come.
Our only decoration-the almighty
dollar-is receding into the background.
The man of exceptional ability, of
more than ordinary talent, will here
after look for his rewards, for his
honors, not in one direction but in
-First-and foremost-in some
public work accomplished, and, sec
ondarily, in wealth acquired.
In place of having it said of him at
his death that he left so many hundred
thousand dollars it will be said that he
rendered a certain amount of public
service and, incidentally, left a certain
amount of money.
Such goal will prove a far greater
satisfaction to him, he will live a more
rational, worth while life and he will
be doing his share to provide a better
country in which to live.
1 have two reasons for believing that
future conditions will be as l have
briefly sketched them
First, because the world is being
drawn together in one centralized
community through the wonderful de-
velopment in science and the marvel
lous work of the inventor.
Second, because in our country
especially we are entering upon a new
stage of development which calls
loudly for men who will render dis
interested public service.
We face new conditions, and in
order to survive and succeed we will
require a different spirit of public
service.
One reason why l am strongly for
universal military training is that it
develops in the youth sense of all
around responsibility to his country, |

Of intercommunicaJio ton and still adher
to the laws, the presidents and tn
book learning of their fathers.
This is OUR great problem. 1t is
difficult, complicated problem and i
causing a struggle of titanic proper
tions-a struggle to throw off in {
night, as it were, the presidents of al
old world for the realities of new.
Precedent makes towards of us all
But the educator, the scientist and the
inventor have left us no choice. We
must adjust our thought and action tt
new conditions.
The changes of the last twenty-five
years socially, industrially and econom-
ically have been great, yet l believe
they are infinitesimal compared to the
changes that are coming.
l believe these changes are going to
deal most largely with the relation
ship Of man to man.
The Day of Individualism Gone.
In this country we have been living
in an age of the utmost freedom to the
individual. 1t has been the individual
istic period. when the order of the day
has seemed to be every fellow for him
self and the devil take the hindmost"
We have gloried in the freedom of
the individual and have practised this
freedom to a point where, in many
phases of our life, it has amounted to
license to do almost anything that we
pleased or that brought profit or
fancied renown, regardless of it's effect
on ones fellowmen.
In the early days, when instantaneous
intercommunication did not exist, when
education was meagre and science I'M
developed, what the individual did was
of comparatively small consequence, for
his deeds did not reach very far and
did not affect many people.
With intercommunication drawing
the world together in one centralized
community, the act of the individual
can affect a large number of people;
therefore, that form Of freedom which
is simply another expression for Ii
cense to do as one pleasese can no
longer exist
When Manhattan was sparsely set
tied and most of the people lived on
its southern end it would not have
mattered much had there been a case
of smallpox at the north end. The pa
tient could have done pretty much as
he pleased without endangering any
one else.
But a case of smallpox in the north
ern end of Manhattan to-day must be
quarantined Immediately to protect
other people.

AS a matter of fact, when a working
man strikes it is not merely to obtai
an increase in his wage; that is whs
the papers tell us the trouble is a
way down underneath what he is reall
striking for is larger percentage 0
the profits of the business
He may not realize this, but. sui
consciously, this is precisely what h
is doing.
No mere increase in wages can eve
satisfactorily solve this problem. l
can be solved only on the basis o
profit sharing.
| BY profit sharing l 90 not NEAR
bonus giving. l mean actual profit
sharing plans based on the earnings
of the business, with a fair percentage
to capital and fair percentage tc
labor after ordinary wages and inter
est have been earned.
Profit sharing can be done salts
factorily only when the business con-
Germ makes public it's transactions, SC
that the laborer and the stakeholder
can know as much about the business
as does the manager himself.
In the adjustment of difficulties be-
tween capital and labor | am conf
dent that open books will accomplish
much more than open shops.
These changes are far-reaching and
fundamental. What are we going to
do about it? What is to be our men
tai attitude? How are we going to
handle these problems?
Can we approach them from the
same point of view as did our fathers.
who lived in a strictly individualistic
age? Can we approach them from the
knowledge we have gained from law
books which were written in the in
age? If we do we will
be combating the mighty onward
rush of new thought and new condi-
tons, provided in large measure by
the scientist, the educator, the inven-
tor.
What the Future Holds Forth.
What is the outlook? Is it a sad,
pessimistic future that unfolds? Does
life hardly seem worth living under
the new conditions or does it hold out
an optimistic future, with finer OPP
and more worth while
goals?
Let me see If can picture it as II
see it. First, just a glance into the
past
About the only goal we have had
has been the almighty dollar. The
sirst question asked when man dies

scarcely thought SIS to how much

ry.
But what has it all amounted to?
