1t is inevitable because strikes and
lOcEkouts can never be settled satisfac-
tOriIy or permanently by merely rails
Ing a mans wages.
1t is inevitable because it gives sta
bility to business and because it is as
advantageous to- capital as to labor.
As matter of fact, when working
man strikes it Is not merely to secure an
increase in his wage; that is what the
papers tell US the trouble is all about
and that is what he asks for; but way
down underneath what ne is really
striking for is a larger percentage of
the profits of the business.
He may not realize this, but, sub
consciously, this is precisely what he is
doing
No mere increase in wages can ever
satisfactorily solve this problem. 1t can
be solved only on the basis of profit
sharing
By profit sharing do not mean bonus
giving. | mean actual profit sharing
plans based on the earnings of the bust
ness, with fair percentage to capital
and fair percentage to labor after ordi-
nary wages and interest have been
earned.
Profit sharing can be done satisfaet-
orily only when the business concern
makes public It's transactions, so 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. i am ccnfI-
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 mental
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 knowl-
edge we have gained from law books
which were written in the individualistic
age? If we do, we will be combating
the mighty onward rush of new thought
and new conditions provided in large
measure by the scientist, the educator,
the inventor.

NAL when compared with the changes that
have taken place in the world the last
quarter of century and the tremendous
changes taking place now.
George Washington was a representa-
tive of the best type of American a CEN
fury and a half ago. He was scholar,
soldier and a statesman, yet ne did not
know as much about science as a young
school boy of to-day.
Thomas A. Edison typifies the scien-
list of our time, but the gap between the
man of the Edison type and Washington
is probably greater than the gap between
Washington and the man whose bones
were recently discovered near Trenton,
N. j., said to have lived 125,0O0 years
ago.
THE advances i'm science, intereora-
municatiOn and I'm universal education
these three great factors account
fer the stuDendeus progress this coun-
try has made Ina the last twenty-five
years.
They have swept away old precedents,
old customs, and they will eventually
sweep away many Of the laws now on
our statute books.
The man of to-day who does not fully
comprehend all this is doomed to be
somewhat of failure; while the man
who does comprehend it will have taken
a long stride toward success.
1t is not many years since I was Lad,
and yet at that time there was no such
thing as a telephone. The telegraph was
Ia very meagre use; fast express trains
did not exist. 1t took several weeks to
cross the ocean, and the only flying ma
chine we knew about was the much de-
rided one possessed by Darius Green.
Entering a New World.
When Abraham Lincoln was President
IL took four days or more for letter to
travel from his home in Illinois to New
York. 1t took him several days to go
from his home to Washington to be in
augurated. And yet only a few weeks
ago a young woman, unaided and alone,
travelled in flying machine from Chi
cago to New York in eight hours and
fifty minutes,
We are just entering a new electrical

was very like the present, but with

and this they would say themselves
were they to arise from the dead.
Great Changes Taking Place Rapidly
The changes that occurred from the
close of the Revolutionary war to Jeffer-
sons old age made a deep impression on
his mind; yet as we look back at them

my judgment this process is only in its
infancy.
Relation of Capital and Labor.
The freedom of the business man to
do as he pleases is now being seriously
challenged, and / most heartily agree
with what Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
said recently at Cornell University to
the effect that enc of the chief quail
fieations for manager of large BUSH
ness concern is rapidly coming to be
the human quality and ability to adjust
differences between capitalist and
laborer and to understand their rela-
tionship.
Until recent years little broad think
ing was given to this problem and diff
ferences were settled on the basis Of
might makes right" All this is rapidly
changing and we are entering a period
of new industrial relationships.
In the long ago the relationship be-
tween capital and labor was that Of
owner and slave, then came the period
of master and man, then the period of
employer and employee, each period be-
ing a decided step forward.
In nay judgment we are just now en-
tering a period Of ceparfnership,
where the tool user will be part tool
owner and where capital and labor
will share more equitably In the prof
ats of the business in which they are
jointly engaged.
This advance is inevitable because of
our educational system, which teaches
the working man to think for himself.
It is inevitable because intercommuni-
cation has told the working men in one
community what the working men in
other communities are striving for and
achieving

world, where everything is done, az it
were, on the instant.
Our fathers had none of the modern
machinery with which social and bust
ness intercourse is now carried on. Their
sons are wrestling with the problem of
how to use these new methods of inter
communication and still adhere to the
laws, the precedents and the book learn
ing of their fathers.
Ihls is our great problem. 1t is diff
ficult, complicated problem and is cans
ing a struggle Of titanic proportions-a
struggle to throw off in a night. as II

The Day of IndividuaIism Gone.
In this country we have been living
In an age of the utmost freedom to the
individual. 1t has been the Individuals
tic 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 free-
dom to point where, in many phases Of
our life, it has amounted to license +o

that brought profit or fancied renown. re.
CARELESS of its effect on ones fellowmen.
In the early days, when instantaneous
INSTRUMENTATION 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 peouIe:
therefore, that form of freedom which
fs simply another expression for IL
cense to do as one pleases can ma
longer exist.

that man could not whip his horse as

ridiculed. Indeed, in those days the idea
that man had not the right to beat

little attention.
When we were all driving horses and
buggies there was no speed limit and a
man did not have to procure license
to drive a horse. With the advent of

How the Rewards viii 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
two :-First-and foremost-in some
public work accomplished. and, second
arily, 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 certain
amount Of money.
Such a 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.
/ have two reasons for believing that
future conditions willbe as I have briefly
sketched them:
First, because the world is being
drawn together in one centralized
community through the wonderful
development in science and the
marvellous 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 rem
der disinterested 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 am strongly for
universal military training is that 1t

The World Is Drawing Together

We must therefore take on new ma
tionalism. The world has been drawn
very closely together by the cable and
the transatlantic liner, but it is on the
verge of being drawn infinitely more
closely together by the wireless, the air
ship and the submarine telephone.
When these are practical, everyday
instruments of ntercommunicatior and
transportation the social practices and
the industrial methods of one nation
will quickly and seriously affect all
other nations. This will require the
yielding by nations Of certain of their
iHdividualistic rights and prerogatives
in order to safeguard and benefit the
world as a whole.
This opens up a great, new vista-it
presents problems that are intensely in
teresting and of far reaching impor-
lance.
The period that is upon US offers
large opportunities for individual
thought, initiative and action, for con-
structiye work and for constructive
craftsmanship.
The mighty changes taking place in
Europe tell US with unmistakable
voice that the reconstruction period is
at hand. The man of the future must
realize it. lie must be ready to adjust
himself to the new conditions. He must
have sufficient vision, intelligence and
courage to cast aside the methods and
precedents of a bygone age. He must
let the dead past bury its dead He
must not look back to the setting but
forward to the rising sun.

 WHEAT, HE CLAIMS

TUCSON, Ariz., August 1O.-Ari- zona's possibilities as a wheat raising state is a subject with which the pub lie is destined to become more fami- liar, according to the prediction of Dr. G. F. Freeman of the University Agri- cultural department. There are certain varieties of wheat that will grow abundantly here, Dr. Freeman stated, and these are being cultivated and inn proved at the university.
 Dr. Freeman recently returned to Tucson from the east. He spent the past year at Harvard securing his de- gree and he is now ready to take up his position again with the local insti- tuition.
 Among the plans he has for the coming years work is the cultivation, improvement and breeding of milling wheats indigenous to this climate.
