u GENTLY the Standard Oil Company
X (Indiana) announced a plan under
which it is possible for its $4,000
employees to become partners in the business
on very attractive basis.
The publisher of a small newspaper, I'M
acquainted with the motives which animate
the seven men who direct the operation
ofthe Standard Oil Company Qndiana), wrote
an editorial in which he questioned the
motives of this Company, and intimated
that the plan was scheme whereby the
Company aimed to benefit by getting in
this additional capital.
To set right this publisher, and any one else
interested, the Company deems it advisable
to direct attention to two outstanding
features of this plan which are Illuminating
in this instance.
First that to. every dollar paid by the
employee for the purchase of stock, the
Company adds, as gift, SOC.
Second, that participation in the plan is not
obligatory, and that in no case is an employe
permitted to pay in more than twenty per-
cent of his earnings.
In formulating the employe partnership plan,
the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil
Company Qndlana) was inspired solely by
the idea of benefting those employees who
wish, through systematic saving, to become
partners in the business. It believes that
the man who works and saves is climbing
upward, but that the man who invests his
savings wisely is climbing faster. 1t believes
that the employee who has money invested in
the business is freer of mind, more contented,
and more productive than if this anchor to
WindWard did not exist.
The idea of employee ownership of industry
is in line with modern tendencies The
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has always
been progressive organization. It's willing
ness to receive new ideas has put it In the
lead IN the petroleum industry.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
developed an efficient, enthusiastic body of
workers. Every employe, from the Chair
man of the Board of Directors to the man
who drives tank wagon, is working stead
tasty to serve the public to the best
of his ability.
1t is the recognition of this fact that prompted
the Board of Directors to inaugurate the plan
which enables the employe whatever his
position may be-to become partner-a
factor in the business.

The Republicans and the Job.

The republicans. though at present
divided and anxious, are far from be-
ing in straits. They are aware Of the
situation; and that is much. They
are striving to get together; and that
Is more.
An important point also is that time
is with them. In this way: Assuming
that tariff revision, tax revision, and
railroad transportation revision are
accomplished at this session Of Con.
gress, the new laws will have a trial
of twelve months before the people
are called upon to render judgment
on them at the polls.
OF course, the republicans must take
way as clearly as they could wish.
But neither are the democrats. Many
old things have passed away. Many
new things are being appraised at a
risk. Just what. and how much. the
war has done to this old world is not
yet known. But that a new order
everywhere is operating in more or
less degree is generally recognized.
Republican success in the legisla-
tion mentioned will inure to the
party's benefit next year when it sub.
mits it's claims for Endorsement. But
republican failure will not absolve the
democrats from presenting policies of
their own in the campaign. The vot.
ers will want to be shown. The re.
publicans have failed, yes. But what
is to be proposed in Congress If the
democrats are put in?
Cleaning up a mess is at all times
difficult and disagreeable; and such a
mess as the republicans have in
herited requires time and patience and
staying power in the handling.

The Minority and Legislatlon.

When the times come, shall we hear
specifically from the minority in Con.
gress on the subjects Of economy. tariff
revision and tax revision? The ma.
jority, Of course, being responsible,
must propose. They must draw the
bills, present them for consideration
and explain and justify their actions
in debate.
The minority, II 1t elects, can content
itself with criticism. It need not pre-
sent bills of its own. 1t need not draw
a tariff bill and offer 1t as a substitute
for the Fordney bill. 1t need not draw
tax-revision bill and offer it as q
substitute for the bill the majority
will present covering that matter.
But from criticism may be gathered
fair idea Of the minoritys attitude
as to both the tariff and taxation, and
so the record made up for next years
campaign. On the one side will be the
majority's measures, with the speeches
and votes in support Of them, and on
the other the minority's speeches and
votes in opposition.
The debates will not be conventional
or humdrum by any means. Well
learned and oft-repeated cries will not
"cut the ice" they once did. There is
much new matter at issue. Protection
has a larger meaning than hitherto.
Taxes are taxes now, for fair. So
when the subjects are taken up speak
ers will have need Of far more than
reams Of statistics, even II we'll digest
ed and arranged, and Of new appeals
based on conditions the country has
never known before.

The American Constitution,

Viscount Bryce-better known to us

James Bryce. author Of 1.-The Ameri.

United States Constitution in a public
address delivered in London the other
day as "the greatest single contribu.
tion made to government as an applied
science"
This man knows his subject from
long study and close observation. His
reading in the matter Of government
has been wide. In the matter Of our
government he has enjoyed the ad.
vantages Of a stay in this country as
a high Official Of his government. He
was for several years the British am.
bassador at this capital.
And yet there are men-some Of
them highly placed in American affairs
who seem to regard the Constitution
to be examined hurriedly and changed
as often as you like. The more au.
dacious would scrap the whole charter
and substitute for it charter Of their
own devisine-as they express them.
selves. IAN up.to-date instrument, with
all the modern improvements"
The viscount told his audience that
Englishmen studied American history
too little. The same thing may be said
with equal truth Of Americans. We
take our greatest blessings-and they
are many as we'll as great-largely as
matters Of course. The popular knowl.
edge Of our beginnings and our prog.
ress as a nation is scant. Otherwise,
so much travail would not be lost as
q lesson, as it is, on the impatient men
and women Of the present generation.

Ohio.


Former President Taft is on his
way to this town to take the oath Of
ofiice as Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
A great state is Ohio. Observe. The
President Of the United States is a
Buckeye. The presiding Justice Of our
highest court Is a Buckeye. Two asso-
ciate justices Of the same court are
from the same commonwealth. The
Attorney General of the United States
is a Buckeye. Some record, and we'll

The explanation? Let us start with
the fact that the state has always
produced very worthy and capable
citizens. The cream Of New England,
many notable men Of southern extrac-
tion, and many good men Of foreign
birth, cleared the forests, dredged the
rivers, and built the towns and cities.
No state building in this country has
been better done.

the people have always taken a keen

ever since the beginning of American

preme Court Of the United States.
Capt. Cameron Forbes. who is as.
sociated with Gen. Wood in the pres
ent investigation. made reputation in
the governor generalship, and is be-
ing cordially received on this visit.
But the post is of more consequence
now than then. The war has stirred
up the orient as well as the occident,
and changes are expected in that quar-
ter Of the globe. Hence the man who
represents the United States in the
Philippines may in the next few years
be close to big events.

dier and civil administrator combined
is the man for the assignment.

Presidential Handshakes.

After more than 500 homeopathic
physicians, delegates to the national
convention just held in this city, had
filed past President Harding, who
grasped each one by the hand and gave
him hearty greeting at the White
House, one of them. strongly moved
by the spectacle of supposed hardship
and suffering, proposed a resolution
in the convention that the President
be hereafter relieved Of the obligation
to shake hands with the public in the
mass. The convention promptly and
properly negatived the proposition.
"Let US leave that to the President -
was the cry.
Surely the President is competent to
determine whether he is physically
capable Of meeting his callers in the
traditional manner. II he finds the
handshaking task too severe he can
cut it out, and his action will be in no
way resented. A presidential hand is
after all personal possession, and if
it's owner prefers to give 1t to all who
20 to greet him, it is his privilege.
1t should never, however. be regarded
as an obligation which goes with the
office.
Our American handshaking custom
has been much criticised abroad. Euro
peans cannot quite understand the
freedom with which persons who are
not acquainted present their palms to
be taken. Here the casual caller in an
office, self-introduced and probably
never again seen. will enter with out
stretched arm. seeking the time-hon-
ored greeting. Some people, hearty
subscribers to the national custom,
prefer, however, to reserve the rite for
parting, if the interview has been
agreeable, making the handshake mean
something.
At the White House the handshake
means that the President is keeping
in touch with the people who have
chosen him to be their administrator.
There is decided difference between a
reception" marked merely by an in.
clination Of the head and one which

RAID STAGED \
 ON WAREHOUSE
 GYPSUM ! MINE N l
Between Five and Six Hun dred Dollars Worth of
 %t Provisions Stolen.

! Between $500 and $500 worth O. provisions were stolen from the ware house at Gypsum in a raid made b, gasboat pirates last Tuesday nigh or early Wednesday morning, accord ing to word received here. The goods stolen belonged to the Pacific Coast Gypsum Company and were in the warehouse on the wharf. which is considerable distance from the min ing camp.
 The raid was staged while nlnt Der of the employees of the company were at Tenakee on the little gasboat Godfly. Going back to camp early Wednesday morning they noticed a gasboat pulling out of the bay and make wide detour when it saw their boat
 About 15 sacks If flour, taken from boat were left behind, but the ware house was stripped of the remainder of it's contents, including flour, sugar, canned goods and groceries If all kinds.
 After the robbery was discovered A. G. Mosier, superintendent of the company, went to Tenakee and made complaint to k. s. Sherman, 'U S. Deputy Marshal of that place. The two men chartered the gasboat Pheas- ant and came to Juneau, arriving here yesterday. The matter was re- ported to the office of the United States Marshal and the United States Attorney. The two men left here again for Gypsum on the Pheasant yesterday afternoon.
 According to word received here there is very strong suspicion as to the identity of the boat that staged the raid and the theft. A boat had been at and near Gypsum for sey- eral days and men on the Gadfly claim that they could identify the boats exhaust as it made the detour past them in the dark on the morning of the theft.
 Deputy Marshal Sherman is now working on the case and will make a search for the boat suspected of con- ing away from the Gypsum wharf at the time the Gadfly pulled in.

YOSEMITE CAFETERIA
 HAS SOLVED PROBLEM

YOSEMITE, Cal, Oct. 21.-A cafe teria in the Yosemite National Park, miles from the big cities where tray carriers generally are found, this year apparently solved problem of furnishing food at medium prices for tourists far from railroad. During the last five months, approximately 250,000 meals were served at an aver age cost of about AS cents each.
 The cafeteria was the first ever established in any national park and it has been so successful that other parks have written for details of it's operations. It is probable that the idea will be copied.
 Secretary Fall of the Department of the Interior, while here this sum mer, became a tray carrier at the cafeteria and declared he thought the establishment was a step in the right direction to provide good accommoda. tions at the lowest possible prices.
 Food served in the cafeteria is the same quality as that served in Yosemite's American plan resorts, charging as high as $75O and $1O per day. The prices differ little from those in cafctcrias in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The food is sold at cost, as employees of the National Park Company make up about half the cafeteria's patrons.
 Scores of campers came to Yo- semitic this year: pitched their tents along the Merced River and took their meals at the cafeteria.
