Schwab went back to Homestead and handled the mills as well ea carrying on with his ,s1 addock job. is work in this crisis brought him prornineut• ly before Andrew Oarnegle. Thenceforth his future was assur- ed. At a later date Mr. Schwab spoke of his methods in the handling of men, saying, "I never for example, criticised a man. If a man has not within him the qualities that will re- spond to encouragement, he hasn't within him any of the qualities, of success. A man will always do his best, under encouragement and help- ing along, and his spirit, if he has any, will be destroyed by a constant attrition of criticism. And how much easier it is to pat a man on the back. I have borne in mind as a first thing, that they, my workmen, were human beings with the same desires and mo- tives as my own. When their ideas did not coincide with mine 1 realized that they were as certain they were right as I was sure I was. Manage- ment has come to realize that con- flict between capital and labor is de- structive to the best interests of each; it is mutually expensive and unneces- sary. The result is a new code of economics, a code that aims not only to provide food, clothing and shelter but also place a true dignity on lab- or, a dignity that yields a fuller and happier life." In 1897 Carnegie wanted to make Schwab a vice-president of his cor- poration but when Schwab heard it he protested. nI cannot carry out the orders of others," he said, "I would rather stay where I am" for in Brad- dock and Homestead nobody found it necessary to give him orders. Where- upon Carnegie made him president. It was while Schwab held this posi- tion that he dreamed of a vast steel trust, and in his impulsive way at a dinner given him by the New York chamber of commerce he sketched his vision of a company owning its sources of ore, its mines, its railroads and ship and buying up its competi- tors until finally it stood alor.e. Whe- ther Mr. Schwab had discussed the matter with Mr. Carnegie before the dinner we do not know but shortly afterward J. Pierpont Morgan and John W. Gates commissioned him to ask Carnegie what he would take for his holdings. He replied $487,556,- 160. It was paid with alacrity, and thus came into existence the U. S. Steel Corporation. SCHWAB'S FIFTY YEARS IN STEEL INDUSTRY Charles M. Schwab has been fifty years years in the steel business and can look back with some satisfaction upon his achievements. He says, "There are few steel works in the United States that at some time have not been under my management and control. It is a history that will pro- bably never come to any other man in the industry, but time and place and chance made this my good fortune." The first time that the place and the chance combined ausp- iciously for Mr. Schwab was just be- fore he entered the steel business. At that time he was a seventeen -year- old clerk in a general store in Brad- dock, Pa. Among the things the stare sold were cigars and among the cus- tomers who bought them was Captain William R. Jones, superintendent of the Edgar Thompson steel mill at Braddock, a mill belonging to Andrew Carnegie and his brother. As he sold the captain a cigar the idea came in- to his head to ask the captain for a job. He did so, and the captain put him on the payroll driving stakes at a dollar a day. Driving stakes proved highly dis- tasteful and in order to get a better job Schwab studied at night, and at the end of six months was promoted to be assistant engineer. In three years he was made chief engineer and assistant superintendent. There fol- lowed a period of hard work for Schwab and the advancement that might be expected of a man of re- markable personality and the acquir- ed or inherited gift of handling other men. This was training for the great opportunity which was present- ed when the Carnegie Brothers com- pany disappeared, to be succeeded by the Carnegie Steel company with a program of expansion that was to become oneof the wonders of modern industrialism. In the course of this expansion the Homestead mills at Homestead, Pa., were acquired, though they had been almost wreck- ed by chronic labor troubles. Mr. Schwab, because of his gift of hand- ling men, was sent there to bring or- der out of chaos and profits out of deficits. He sueceeded so satisfac- torily that two years later, when Captain Thompson died, he was sent back to take charge of the Braddock mills. Then, unexpectedly at Homestead there broke out one of the mast ter- rible labor disputes in the history of the steel business in the United States p IL KneSs a‘tnifanata QuWaiss assIligaVan Ilt0U,Anl'.2s 2=4= red.2) Canild R.Qsknnen VI P, P.R9 "Sgal?a..Saire" le tbe name.

Schwab remained for awhile with the new company, but the associations were not congenial. There were too many directors who wished to give him advice or instructions. When he resigned his holdings in the corpora- tion were $30,000,000. He then in- vested in the United States Shipping company, and presently found him- self chief stockholder of the Bethle- hem Steel company. The war made this one of the greatest money earn- ers in the United States and Schwab's fortune doubled and redoubled. At the end of the war he was attacked for profiteering and he wept as he denied the charge. Nevertheless he says that if he had his life to live ov- er again he wouldn't change a single day, "because it has been a life of happiness, a life of making friends." Mr. Schwab has always been a great gambler, and on one occasion when the United States Steel cornoration was undesirably in the public eye and being attacked by the so-called "trust busters," Mr. Schwab was called into Mr. Morgan's office and rebuked for a gambling escapade at Monte Carlo. which Mr. Morgan thought drew un- welcome attention to the trust. Schwab protested that he merely had done in the open what other people were doing behind closed doors. "Yes," said Mr. Morgan meditatively, "that's what doors are for." The chief trouble with the law is too many stays of judgment rather than stays behind the bars.—Chicage Evening Post.

Most people who have given any thought to problems of crime and juvenile delinquency have, no doubt, speculated as to whether heredity or environment had the greater influ- ence in the production of tnese indi- gestible elements of society. The heredity vs. environment debate has been proceeding for some hundreds of years and has arrived precisely no- where. We have been told that if slums were abolished, juvenile de- linquency and adult crime would also •be abolished or materially reduced. Similarly we were told that if the saloons were closed, the jails arid poor houses would automatically close themselves. We were also told that if a hair from a horse's tail was put in a pail of water and let stand over- night, it would be found in the morn- ing to have turned into a kind of snake. One statement is about as worthy of credence as the others, which does not prevent their solemn reiteration. Those who think that heredity is of major importance, ad- vocate not only birth control, but the sterilization of the unfit, and with the ultimate ideal of the state arranging marriages on the •principle that the stock -breeder controls the mating of his flocks and herds. But how does either camp explain the notorious fact that from the same family, among brothers and sisters, brought up in the same envircnment, one boy may become a priest and one girl a nun, while another brother may become a gunman and another sister the hostess of a night club? Their heredity is the same. Their environ- ment is the same, but their charac- ters are as different as it is possible to imagine. There must have been a good deal of untrained speculation upon this subject, but so far as we know the first scientific examination of it has been made by a sub -com- mittee of the Crime commission of New York state. This committee ex- amined the records of enough boys and girls to permit useful generaliza- tions, some of which are extremely in- terestin&. For example, it is found that the juvenile who tends to slip into criminal ways is, generally, not so intelligent as his brother who re- mains upright. Oddly enough the delinquents are as a rule, of greater mechanical bent and can handle tools better than their brothers and also better than the av- erage normal boy. It is here that a point is scared for the environmental- ists. A boy equipped with a tool - chest and a work table in the base- ment takes pride in making things with his hands. The same boy, denied this outlet for his ingenuity, may turn to picking locks and open- ing window catches. The inference is that if boys of this character could be early identified by social workers it should be possible to turn their mechanical knack to good account. Instead of .becoming a clever sneak - thief or burglar the boy might de- velop into rather a commonplace but honest and useful carpenter or radio repair expert. It is here that all ed- ucational systems break down, or perhaps it would be fairer to say that they are undeveloped. In New York city, for instance, while the juvenile delinquent is num- erous he yet amounts to, statistically but .8 per cent. of the school popula- tion. Now the school system is de- vised to meet the needs of the other 99.2 per cent. and the teacher has lit- tle attention to give to the fraction of a boy who, nevertheless, may grow up to attract more attention than any included in the 99.2. For he may be- come a celebrated murderer or rack- eteer. It is obvious that some sys- tem is required whereby the potential criminal should •be disclosed and in- structed. So long as the educational systems in New York and elsewhere are devoted to mass production it will be difficult to give the delinquent the teaching he needs. After his delin- quency has become notorious, of course, he finds himself in the hands of the police and is sent to reform- atory as a matter of course. But if he could have been picked out earlier just as an inspired teacher will early detect genius in a child, he never would have taken this wrong turn and the social workers would have much mare malleable material to work with. • Some of the ogee histories studied by the arimmietion are as folloinn '"Herraan, tam) 80, it nuperior every type a Vienna arritinft0t, hat ie eg'grrVekop44.e4 Ito iranoisible to get a ong wiufitraneret 120, to lt,•i5 t Sat 1'0 1116> TAU= yanur ildiaehenn by gnvEng younr stove all bllackeet, birigRatestt um& mostafi1 poRfiskak: fia even. ban& the clranieli, elleaun way, wfith Zebra.

He is like the man who stands on the sidelines of the game of life criticizing the actions of those who are doing things bat who fails to get into the battle himself. Every office has one but the boss gets tired and chucks him out. There are people like this in every community. You know well the man who complains about cunditions, who is always opposed to every- thing, who does not work because he says there is no work to do and the community is going to the dogs. He stands out in contrast to the person who gets into the fight, makes the best of every situation and when he is not satisfied with conditions makes an honest -to -goodness effort to improve them instead of standing around and whining. No man can be happy if he is always running away from the prob- lems of life. What can you do to enliven activities in Seaforth and make it a better community in which to live? Start anywhere but do something. Don't leave the work to someone else. Get the commun- ity spirit and fight. Every sincere effort at community betterment on your part makes you so much bigger. Boost your community that you may be able to boast it. Have no sympathy for the habitual knocker. Buy your goods in Seaforth.

Although born in Waterloo County, practically the whole of his life has been spent in Seaforth. For 41 years he was engaged in the cooperage business. In 1897, in addition to his Seaforth plant, he purchased the mill at Brucefield, where he manufaetured cooper- age stock until 1902, when he purchased the large Coleman Mill and plant on South Main Street, and continued in the manufacturing busi- ness until two years ago. For the past six years he has also been engaged in the retail coal business. One year ago Mr. Ament leased the Supertest Gas Station, on the corner of Main Street and the Provincial Highway, the pret- tiest, most up-to-date and one of the largest service stations on No. 8 Highway, and one which has become very popular with both town users of cars and tourists.

GERMANS DENY EDIISON INVENTED FAMOUS LIGHT is more firmly fixed in the mind of the average American, and Canadian too for that matter, than that Thomas Edison was the inventor of electric- ity. But if the credit of having in- vented the incandescent light is fikh- ed from Edison it leaves him poor in- deed. While he is probably the moat pro- lific patentee in all history, it has been alleged that the only major in- vention that stands to his name is the incandescent light. It is true he has made innumerable improvements on scores of mechanical and electri- cal devices, but the major discoveries and inventions have been made by others. Perhaps it would be accurate to describe Mr. Edison as the great- est adapter and improver in the his- tory of applied science. However, we have no desire to disparage Mr. Edison, but merely note that his claim to having invented the incandescent light has been challenged. The Ger- mans allege that Mr. Goebel inventel the light twenty-five years before the Edison patent was filed. In the En- cyclopedia Britanniea are set forth There has been unveiled by a scien- the claims to this distinction fl!ed on tiflc society In Hanover, Germany, a behalf of Sir Joseph Wilson Swan the tablet which will probably give a eminentineyiasayseioppehdysicis andthealtectSerriciaann.*Thase shock to any Anieeican who happens E to note it and understand the inscrip- then be astonished to the first man to produce an electric tion.

This was substantially the method adopted by Edison nearly twenty years later after various fruitless efforts to make a practical lamp with a filament of platinum al- loy had convinced him of the unsuit- ability of that metal for the purpose —a conclusion at which Swan had are rived many years earlier. The art- icle continues: "By the time Edison had hit upon the idea of carbonizing paper or bamboo by heat to form the filament, Swan had devised the fur- ther improvement of using cotton thread tparchmentized' by the action of sulphuric acid, and it was by the aid of such carbon filaments that on the a0th of October, 1880, he gave at Newcastle the first public eit4ibition of a large scale electric lighting by means of glow lamps." independent of Edison but that Goe- bel had preceded him. Therefore, the contention was that if the Edison El- ectric Light company could make use of Goebel's inventions, the defendants were equally privileged. They denied to Edison's inventions the quality of novelty which alone would justify him in patenting them. In the course of the litigation one decision was given in favor of Goebel whose claims were thoroughly exam- ined. There might have been some patriotic bias among the judges, al- though the fact that Goebel had made many of his experiments in New York would tend to mitigate his un- happy position as a foreigner. At the end of it all the conclusion was reached that Goebel had probably done what was claimed for him but that nevertheless Edison was the first man to produce a practical commer- cial lamp. Goebel's lamps were rather to be regarded as toys used to ad- vertise his telescope or throw a brief light upon his clock. They were crudely constructed and their •flife was brief. It was also pointed out that before Goebel there had been lamps built upon a similar principle to his. Edison undoubtedly deserves the credit for having tenaciously feat- ened himself to a problem with which others had toyed and working out fin- ally a practical lamp that has proved a boon to humanity.

But apparently neither Swan nor Goebel patented his inventions, and Edison was the first to make formal record and claim. But 30 years ago his pretensions as the inventor of the incandescent lamp were challenged in the American courts and She actions were bitterly fought with rinh,y estperts appearing both for the plaintiff Edi- son and the defendant companies.
