Judge Orosscup of Chicago contribute! a
second article to the June number of the
American Illustrated Magazine. In which
he detail hl plan for corporation control.
In hi firm article. "Who Bhall Own Aniei-

assign the right man to the right place,
can pick out of the thousand capable men
Just the kind of capability that Is fitted to
this place. nd Just the kind that Is fitted
to that. Indeed, between government con
trol and private control the difference Is
between what we call true organization
and what Is the merest aggregation, for
In private enterprise each man has coma
by a process of attrition to the place he
la nest fitted to fill, while tn government
employment each man la dropped Into his

lea?" the Judge came out flatly ror n..,--;; ' ' .. ,,.., ,h.r. , An(l
tlonal Incorporation of trusts. The present " "7 " , .. ,,,,
paper goea further along the aame Hues. '
Judge Orosscup la against government
ownership except In the case of aome mu
nicipalities and their public utilltlea. He
declares that the remedy for the trust
problem lies rather In public control ,
through Individual ownership, and in this
article, which he calls "The Rebirth of the
Corporation," he endeavor to show how,
with a foundation of national incorporation,
the problem would begin to solve Itself.
"The corporation," he says, "la no aln In
Itself. Ownership Incorporated la no aln
la Itself. The corporation, as the legal
method of wielding large masses of Indi
vidual resources to a common end has been
one of the most helpful agenclea of mod
ern life. But the corporation left to do aa
It pleases emancipated from all care aa to
Its character and birth, and all watchful
ness of its conduct afterward is the cause
' of the great sin that has grown up within
the vast property domain covered by cor
porate ownership."
Proprietorship fey the Few.
The resulting monopoly of proprietorship
by the few to the exclusion of the many,
he argues, also. Is not bocause the actual
weiiHh of the country la owned by the
few. It Is still owned, he says, by the
people, but the people at large have been
content to deposit that wealth on financial
streams, which In turn converge In the
great money centers, and, once there, these
treama are turned again. In ono form or
another. Into the great corporate enter
prises, the ownership of which la not re
turned to the people. Five men, for In
stance, having an enterprise coating $10,000,
000, take those million out of the stream
In the form of a loan, securing It by a Hen
on the enterprise. To the stream they give
back the bonds representing the cost; to
themselves they issue the stock represent
ing the proprietorship. And thus all the
possibility of the growth of successful en
terprise goes, not to the many who fur
nish tfia capital, nor in large part to the
mani who auppllea the idea, but chiefly to
the few whose advantageous position at the
confluence of the stream enables them, to
- the exclusion of all others, to lay hands
lipor. the cargoes aa they come down.
This, Judge Orosscup declares, la re
sponsible largely "for every extortion in
..iha'wsy of prices, both those paid and
those taken, that has been practiced," be
cause It has bred the disposition and given
to the go-as-you-please corporation unex
ampled opportunities to maka paper for
tunes actual by any device at hand. Tet
the corporation la the only structure In
sight Into which, to gather and exercise
the creative energies of American industrial
progress. Bhall It be remodeled from
within? he asks, or torn down from with
out, or allowed to remain as it is? The
remedies are of two kind general public
ownership or the bitting and reining of
the corporation in the matter of consplr-
, -acles tn control prices.
Pablla Owaershla ( Utilities.
As to publio ownership even of publio
Utilities, Judge Orosscup saya tie la not
sure thst aa long aa the clay hall ahall
have franchisee to vote the "gray wolves"
can be kept out. and it may become es
sential. In the Interest of clean city gov
ernment, if for no other reason, to give
up the otherwise undoubted economic ad
vantage of private operation under public
control. But as to general public owner
ship, the people of thla country still have
It In their power so to reform and re
construct the corporation policy of the
country, and aa between the corporation
thua reformed and even restricted public
ownership the latter la to be oppoaed, and
etrenuously opposed.
"Government control." says Judge Oross
cup, "never gets, and in the nature of
things never can get. all there la. or the
-"best there Is, tn human capability. The
government may compete with private en
terprise in getting capable men, but it' haa
not thua far shown anything of the ca
pacity of a private enterprise to assign
the right man always to the right place.
That kind of seeking out and watchful
ness few government departments poasess.
The men In charge of government depart
ments may be Intelligent and well Inten-
tloned, but thejr are in today and out to
all this Is said on the assumption -that
politics would hnve no part in government
ownership and operations. When we stand
before that side of the question efficient
public ownership looks almost hopeless."
Coatrol from Oatalde.t
As for the other remedy control from
outside the corporation, as it Is today,
Judge Grnns.up points out that under the
shadow of the' vaunted Sherman anti-trust
act the greatest of the ao-called trusts
have grown up. True, the admlnlatratlon
of President Roosevelt has begun a num
ber of prosecutions. But the Beef trust
injunction, the railroad rebate injunction
nd the Northern Securities decree contain
so far their results.
With these results," he says, "I am
finding no fault. The railroads say that
they are obeying the injunction, and thus
far the law officers of the government
have not with success disproved or even
tried t disprove, that assertion. No prose
cution for contempt under the Beef trust
injunction has been Instituted."
This expected cure from the outside, he
argues, Is no cure at all. It may palliate,
but It neither cradlcatee nor restores. There
must be reconstruction Just aa laid down
In hie plan. As to what may be expected
then, the best answer Is to show what haa
been done.
Firet. Judge Orosscup says, corporate
property is now successfully and safely
owned by large numbers of people who
have put their Individual resources Into
their proprietorship. He cltea In thla con
nection the case of a railroad running out
of Chicago.
He then cites another type of the good
corporation, that which interests Ita wage
earners aa owners In its profits. He tella
of a corporation which helps Its employes
to purchase Its shares at market value by
lending them the money. Then he calls
attention to a large manufacturing com
pany, the stock of which is held In one j
AMERICAN DIAMOND CUTTERS
Industry a Comparatively Hew One in tie
United State.
FORMERLY ALL WERE CUT IN AMSTERDAM
New Vara: aal Braoklya w Doing
a Thrlvla Baalnea la Tnl
Mae, All the Growth of
Twelve Years.
L'p to ten or twelve years ago all the
diamonds that added to the charma of
American women were cut In Antwerp or
In Amsterdam, the oentera of the diamond
industry, but though the American woman
may not know It, a good many of her dia
monds are now cut right here In Brook
lyn and Manhattan, saya the Brooklyn
Kagle, where some of the finest diamond
cutting In the world is done. There are
only nine or ten establishments In tins
country, hut three of them do work that
perhaps outranks that produced In any
other country. One of the largest of those
establishments, and the first one started In
this country. Is that of a company which
occupies the top atory of a building at the
corner of Union and Nevlns streets and
where are fiftjr men busied cutting and pol
lahtng the brilliant gema to flash and
sparkle on the fingers or in the laces of
fortune's favored.
It la a quaint, old-world looking place,
away from the rush and bustle of down
town and looking the last place where one
would imagine luxuries are stored. . There
Is a formality of barred doors, the only re
minder of the presence of valuables, and
once within the small enclosed front of
fice, the manager of the establishment prob
ably opens before your wonder-wide eyes
little paper envelopes filled with glittering
brilliants. They are stacked away like so
many pills In a druggist's cabinet, thou
sands of dollars worth of jewels, In every
state, from the rough mineral, as It comes
from the mine, to the many-faceted Jewel
in Its perfection, ready to be mounted and
wora.
What Rooah atones Are I.Ike.
In the rough the diamond looks like a
big yellowish piece of glass, some as big
around as a quarter, and with little sparkle
to them. One paper envelope shows the first
rough stone split up Into smaller bits, some
of the large stones n.ake as many aa fifty
stonea. The next stagu ahows the diamond
Just as It is when it has had its first
smoothing by the machines. This part of
the work Is done In a small room Just off
the main office, v?here five men sit at re
volving machines, the wheel of which has
embedded in it a diamond. To thla the
haa applied his stone more frequently and
which consequently ha developed ltitl
ridge. It la here that he applies the sur
face of his atone to give It the cut lie
wishes, end then, when he haa carefully
gauged It with hla eye and the aid of a
microscope to tell whether the small fig
ures are of Just the right proportion, he
slips it to another part of the disk,
where the surfsce Is plainer, to wear It
to greater amoothness and perfec tion.
The diamond worker must know his task
well, or he ruins the stone. His eye must
bn able to tell whether the lines of the
tiny geometrical figures he cuts all agree,
and lie must be able to tell exactly when to
"did anything come from the store to
day?" "Yls. mum." Katie answered, "an" Oi

Tou put It up?" faltered "mum" ap
prehensively. "Where?"'
"Ol'll show ye, mum," said Katie, leading
the way to the dining room. "Thlm mot
toes Is litigant. " she continued, and then
pointed proudly at her handiwoik.
There, securely nailed above the dining
room mantel, was a new fiber door mat
bearing the hospitable greeting. "Welcome."

to Its employes from S to 10 per cent of the r. ... th. .
net earnings of the preceding year, the last'
distribution amounting to about IOO.onO.
The third example Is that of a large man
ufacturing company also. Any of Its em
ployes who earns not more than $1,600 a
year may have purchased for his account
an amount of the common stock of the
company equal to the amount of his annual
wages, paying therefor not less than
per cent a year down and thereafter 4 per
cent a year out of hla wages. But to his
credit on the purchase price also go the
dividends, guaranteed to be not lees than
12 per cent upon the amount of wages ac
tually earned by him. When the employe
has been with the company for five years
he may Increase his holdings 28 per cent
and after ten years he may increase his
holdings GO per cent and. la guaranteed IK
per cent. And under thla plan nearly every
employe la a stockholder In the corporation.
An Approach to the Ideal.
This. Judge Orosscup says, Is perhaps the
nearest approach to the ultimate Ideal.
Capital and labor are partners, each getting
not only Ita fair share of the profits from
year to year, but also its fair proportion of
the permanent results of success and pros
peritythe lasting property that grows and
continues to grow out of success.

machine rounding off the flrst rough edges
of the other diamond and bringing It to
some semblance of the point that ts found
on the under surface of the completed gem.
From thla simple machine the gems go
Into a great room adjoining where dozens
of machines . are arranged all along the
wlndowa, leaving a large vacant apace in
the center of the room, which la of no
use in a trade so entirely dependent on
good light for Its workers.
Always I had had vlslona of the diamond
cutter as a humped, wixened person,
who sat squinting over his work, but
either my idea was fantastic or modern
Invention has changed all that. Certainly,
the lot of cutters I found at work when
the mannger of the establishment showed
me Into the room on my visit the other day
were neither humped nor wlsened, but a ro
bust. Jolly looking crowd of foreigners,
most of them hailing from Holland or from
Antwerp, I learned. There were only two
or three Americans In the lot, the manager
told me, and in all, lie said, there are not
more than 380 expert diamond cutters in
this country. The men were singing as
the machlnra whirred and each had his
Joke, for the manager. -I should have come
on Monday, the man at the first machine
told me, because Monday was always bar
gain day, when diamonds could be had for
four ninety-eight. They were at work cut
ting the diamond and polishing It. Each
sat before a simple looking machine, hav
ing a routing disk to which they held
the diamond In what they called the dop,
really a holder containing a hardened mix
ture of lead and tin In which the diamond
I embedded, with that part of the surface
that Is to be polished exposed.
How Diamonds Are Cnt.
The dop Is held down to the disk, which
revolves at the rate of twenty-five revolu
tions a minute, and which ta spread with
a compound of oil and diamond dust. The
old adage, "diamond cut diamond," Is lit
erally true In all the work of preparing
the stone. The dust that files off In the
first process of smoothing the rough stone
Is 'held in a fine sieve and Is saved for
polishing the diamond and for polishing
other precious stones. There Is a small
black circle on the disk where the worker

hard surface of a diamond. All that must
lie left to the skill and judgment of the
cutter.
To know how to cut a diamond one
must have practical geometry well at
hand, for the Q. E. D. can only.be written
beneath a perfectly evolved proposition.
First, the diamond Is cut Into squares, and
then the squares are divided Into tri
angles, and so on, until the. final figure Is
completed, .having in its finished form
fifty-eight facets. The fifty-eight faret
stone represents the perfection of diamond
cutting, as various experiments to better
It have proved. Not long ago experiments
were attempted to produce what they
culled the "twentieth century cut." hav
ing slxty-elx facets, but the stone cut this
way was not nearly so brilliant and beau
tiful as the fifty-eight facet stone.
Few atones Lost.
The diamond cutters handle their ma
terial as unconcernedly as If It were putty
Instead of precious stonea they are work
ing with, and yet the manager told me
that In twelve years he has had his estab
lishment In this country only six diamonds
have been lost. If a stone drops on tho
floor every man keep his place while the
one that dropped It traces the stone to the
place where It fell.
One of the workers in the big room of
the establishment Is kept busy embedding
the gems In the dop or holder for the cut
ter to . work on. He has his 1 mixture of
lead and tin ready and puts a' dab of It
Into the little cup-like holder, then dips
In for a diamond, and fastens It in the
soft metal mixture. Then he puts the whole
thing under a flame and lets the metal be
become still softer, so ' he can push the
diamond down to expose Just the surface
ready to be cut. One man gives the stone
Its first cutting, another the second di
viding and so on, until It Is completed, so
that frequently a stone has to be replaced
In the dop aa often aa forty tlmea before
It Is ready to be put Into one of the man
ager's envelopes to be offered to the
jeweler.
The under surface of the diamond, where
It comes to a point. Is called the girdle of
the stone and the small flat surface on top,
about which the little figures center Is the
table of the stone. The small rose dia
monds made of the scraps of the big
atones when they are broken up are only
given to the men. to cut when there are
no large stones on hand to be worked on.
They are the piecework, regarded of lit
tle Importance. The profit on them does
not pay for the trouble of cutting them,
the manager explained.
The same cuts used In perfecting dia
monds today have been In use for three
or four houndred years. At first the stones
were preserved tn their original form, but
about the middle of the fifteenth century
the art of polishing them on rotating disks
was discovered. The big stones, before
they are cut, often have a yellowish hue
that -made them look to my uninitiated
eyes like poor diamonds. That, the one in
authority assured me. was because the
larger the atone the more color It takea
on. Frequently, he said, when there are
a handful of diamonds together, a buyer
will claim they are "off color," bot when
he separates the stones he finds each clear
and white. .
America Beat Market,
The Americans are tne best judges of
diamonds in the world, much, much better
Judges than the Europeans, the diamond
deaW assured me. And of all the diamonds
kno-n to exist, half of them are owned In
the United Statea. In all -there are about
$l,0Ou,0X),O0O worth In the world. The dealer
advises the owner of diamonds to cling to
his possessions, because the day will suroly
come, he saya, when their price will be
three times what It is now.
All the diamonds Anr erlcans . wear are
minted in other countries, Africa, chiefly;
and the largest perrenttige of them are
cut outnlde of the United Statea, yet Tan
kee ingenuity , la responsible for most of
the Improved machinery and patent devices
for cutting and mining the stones. Five
sevenths of the diamond . cutting In the
world Is done In Amsterdam and In Ant
werp, and It Is from there America Inv
ports Its expert diamond cutters, whose
wages are much higher here than in the
old countries,
There have been stores of interesting
legends clustering shout the diamond
which. If not the most eostly of all pre
clous stones, seems to have had always a
stronr fascination than any other. A
few hundred years ago, it was thought
that the diamond, which resisted both fire
and Iron, could be destroyed by the blood
of a goat, and people believed, too, that
if a diamond were macerated In fresh
blood, It Could not be destroyed when
struck on an anvil. In the old days peo
ple thought the diamond could drive away
sadness. Of course, we know better than
all that. We know that Instead of driving
away aadnesa, diamonds often create
sort of sadneHS, especially diamonds owned
by somebody else. We no longer have any
picturesque beliefs to lend Interest to the
possession of 'diamonds, but their fasclua
tlon has diminished no less with the cen
turles.

have been celebrated her last seventeen
birthdays, the 103d anniversary f 'r
birth.
Were It not for tha Indisputable author
ity of this time-yellowed page it would
be almost Impossible to believe that the
aged lady Hitting there so upright In lier
chair by the window with her sewing
on her lap had ever passed her 80th birth
day. Her blue eyes have none of the haiy look
of age, her skin Is clear and only slightly
wrinkled and her voice when she speaks
Is not aa harshly treble as many persons
thirty years' younger. Added to this her
hearing Is so good that the visitor has
to raise his vojee only a trifle In addrebs
Ing her and her memory for dates and
rx-ople connected with her experience is
phenomenal.
Mrs. Wonderly'a years are a legacy from
her parents, both of whom lived to good
terns are mailed direct from the publishers old ages, her father having reached the
age of 90 years. The father, who was a
resident of Smyrna, Del., where Mrs. Won
derly was born, was a local preacher of
the Methodist Episcopal faith and served
throughout the Revolutionary war In the
famous " Delaware line of Washington's
army. Both her father and her mothT.
Mrs. Wonderly Is fond of telling, stood
six feet tall In their slocking feet ami
were aa "fine and handsome a couple a t
were ever married.
The 'eldest of their eleven children vms
Mrs. Wonderly, who has survived not only
her ten brothers nnd sisters, but their
children. But, as she adds proudly, hIv
"lived to see every one of them converted
to tha faith." I
She was a young rhlld when the war 'of
1812 took place, but, nevertheless, her mind
readily goes back to the time when tlio
people of Philadelphia were prostrated by
fear at the thought of the British in
vasion .
