SMALL INDUSTRIES WHAT
SHOULD REACn FOR.
The people who pay attention to the
small things of life, and attend to
them properly, are generally the
ones In the end who accomplish the
great things. Those who are always
longing for great opportunities and
neglecting the small opportunities as
learning, and patriotism of the country
could be thoroughly represented
the upper House and some of the fin-
a class accomplish nothing. They are 1 est elements of statesmanship and
by Hon. Hunnls Taylor, formerly
United States minister to Spain, the
author of a work on the “Origin and
Growth of the English Constitution' 1
that is uccepted as a standard author
ity. and otherwiso peculiarly equipped
to intelligently and authoritatively dis
cuss the movement to abolish or re
form the House of Lords.
Mr. Taylor points out that England
Is the mother of Parliaments and the
creator of the bicameral type of legis
lative assemblies, that is, the two
house form of government. Up to the
time of the creation of the American
Congress England was the only coun
try in the world with a parliament.
From its example and the additional
Inspiration given to popular govern
ment by the United States have come
the numerous parliaments of to-day,
Including the latest addition, that of
Japan.
It would be a great error of judg
ment, and fraught with much danger
to genuine liberty, Mr. Taylor believes,
for England to establish a single house
as Its governing body. From such an
example a similar trend would doubt
less he developed in other countries.
Instead of abolishing the House of
Lords he expresses the hope that Eng
land will simply amend it, along the
lines that Spain adopted when Castillo,
in 1876, drafted the existing constitu
tion. By such a course the wisdom
ASST. SUPT. IS TO

Communities being but aggregations

Individual character applies with ful
ly bb much force to the community.
The spirit of the Individual. If applied
to the community, brings like results.
.The community that Is waiting for
great things to turn up and not avail
ing Itself of the 'small oportunities
within its grasp is not likely to ever
see the great aspirations realized.
The bulk of the great Industries cf
tMs country had their origin in small
beginnings. The Baldwin Locomotive
Works started with a few hands. To
day It employs ten or twelve thousand
highly skilled mechanics. The Disston
6aw Works, now with four thousand
men on its pay rolls, began Its exis
tence In a cellar with the founder and
one boy at work. And so with the
vast majority of the other leading In
dustrlcs. They are all exemplifica
tions of the old adage that “Great oaxa
from little acorns grow.” In the
South the majority of the large cot
ton mills started on a small scale
and expanded their plants ont of the
profits of their business.
Ttj? mistake we are making In
Americus Is aiming at too big a start.
Wo expect to begin with half million
dollar plants, as It they grew on
huckleberry hushes and were to be
picked for the having. As a matter of
fact, what we should be aiming for is
a diversification ot industries, on a
■mail scale. What we should seek
is not one mammoth plant, although
-7 that would of course, be very wel
come. but a number ot small indus-
' tries, employing a limited capital and
a few hands, but with a prospect of
growing into industries of importance.
A hosiery mill with $25,000 to $50,000
capital, broom factory with $5,000
' to $10,000 capital, a woodenware fac
tory wilh $10,000 capital, a matress
factory with a few thousand dollars iu
Its service, a harness and saddlery
works also giving employment to a
dozen or more hands—these and oth
ers suggest themselves as industries
that might be established here on a
modest scale and with a fair prospect
character there bo brought into the
service of the nation. Elaborating his
views M. Taylor says:
Every one knows that the Scotch
and Irish peerages are represented at
Westminister iu the persons of peers
elected as representatives by each. It
would be very easy to extend that
system to the English peerage by
limiting its representation in the up
per house to peers chosen in tins same
way. Thus the strongest elements of
the three peerages, after being sever
ed from_the drone3 who bring only re
proach, ’ could be united In a body
whoso existence would prevent any
abrupt break with the past. To that
body could he added tho life senators
to bo appointed by the crown from
those whoso genius and patriotism de
mand such recognition. A decided ma
jority over all Bhould then consist of
senators elected for a certain term of
years dineciiy by the people. In such
a senate would be assembled as never
before the flower of the British empire.
There is no reason why tho English
democracy should not bo willing to
regard an upper chamber thus con
stituted, whose control would remain
in its hands, Just as tho American
Democracy regards the Senate of the
United States. Ail special students of
our system clearly understand that
since our popular chamber has ceased
to be a forum for debate, the Senate
has become our most effective organ
of legislation, if it were not for Its
Inlative through the amending power
it would now bo almost impossible for
our great affairs to be carried on. If
our experience Is worth anything
England it is a demonstration of the
fact that a vast democracy charged
with the administration of expanding
and world-wide Interests can not ef
fectively discharge its functions with
out a senate of commanding authority.
Such a senate has been a necessity to
every world power that ever existed.
It Is a settled conviction that the
unity of the British) empire depends
upon the Irresistible strength of
England's two-chamber parliament, by
whose authority a widely scattered and
Incoherent mass of dependencies Is
held together. In the gorgeous phrase
of Burke the bicameral parliament of
Great Britain sits at the head of her
extensive empire In an "imperial
character. In which, as from the
throne of heaven, she superintends all
the Inferior legislatures, and guides
and controls them all. without annihil
ating any.” It would certainly ,be a
rash experiment for England to shat
ter that Ideal by destroying her dual
creation, which has become a standard
of imitation. Just at the moment when
her internal needs would seem to re-

excesses It is supposed to afford.
