We went to the Providence state fair
on the same day of the first trial and
made exhibition runs twice a day for a
whole week. I steered every time and
got the team in pretty good shape. Af-
ter a few days they were eo well train-
ed to the new machine that we made one
quarter of a mile in 29 seconds before
Governor Dyer and 40000 people. They
say that the applause was something tre-
mendous but I had all I could do to mind
my own business and I just heard a lot
of noise without being really able to sav
w nether they were clapping or whether
i uuo ear acne rue very first start in
Providence we had a spill owing to one
of the starters pushing the machine side
ways wnen lie let go. :sobody was hurt
nor the machine either and we were up
and off again in a jiffy.
But the hardest of all was the time
the biograph people came down from
rrew lork and took moving pictures of
the ten-seater pacing Lesna McDuffle
aim uiviere on the Charles river track.
They came all the way from New York
because this track is prolwbly one of the
host in the country. It was a pretty
chilly day and by the time the sun came
out we were all shivering. Thou we
had to ride around the track about half
an hour while they got the proper focus
and as the biograph people insisted ou
my keeping the ten-seater running on the
three square from the pole I felt I hnd
done aliout a day's work when I got
through. Last Monday night when T
saw the picture at a Boston theater. I
hoard a lady say. "Oh look at the big
centipede bicycle."
Next we took the machine to the
Springfield meet where it was exhibited
by part of Lesua's pacing team making
good time. But. the next week in Phila
delphia when 1 was steering the man on
the rear saddle got to wiggling for some
reason or other aud we had a spill which
laid me un for several days. All I know
about it. was that while we were going at
about thirty seconds per quarter mile. I
suddenly felt nilurch and then I shot
through the air. up the embankment of
the track and then I was surrounded bv
a lot of reporters who said I was dead.
Tn fact all the natters said I was killed.
but 09 they got my name wrong and as
the worst I have had is a black eye
don't care much.
It is necessary for all the men up to
ido very steady and not swing the body
and to nass orders as to sneed and direc
tion quickly from man to man as it is
impossible for the steersman to hear ev-

A SOCIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT EX-
TENDING ALL TIIROIGH THE
INITED STATES.
IIS USUI IIS 1 STORY
Although Retaining- Community
Principle Those Interested Live
Wherever They Wish It Is
Pnrely Co-Operative.
One of the most Interesting sociologi
cal experiments ever attempted la the
United States is now In operation in
thirty-one states and territories. Un
der the control of the men Interested are
twenty-three manufactories all on the
co-operative plan. in this newspaper
u. a. uc earuarui me originator ot the
idea and the central figure In the move-
ment In nn article practically prepar-
ed and written by him tells the story
or me enterprise.
ihe labor exchange as the Idea Is de
nominated is primarily for the purpose
of solving the great problem of how to
best give all men employment. The orig-
inal plan was calculated. to embrace the
nest leatures ot the community exper
ments which have heretofore been at
tempted and. at the same tune to avoid
the errors which the promoters of those
experiments hnd fallen into. It was be
lieved that the community idea so far
as forcing all persons in sympathy there
with to dwell in the same locality was
an error. It is really something of a
curtailment of personal liberty to say to
an individual "here sliult thou dwell or
thou canst not lie of us.
With the belief that the results uimed
at by the community idea could be gain-
ed without burdensome restriction and
that it could be demonstrated to the
world that there was a reasonable solu-
tion of the problem of a comfortable ex-
istence for all. with misery for none the
experiment which is represented by the
labor exchange was inaugurated.
The exchange was duly incorporated
in the state of Missouri the headquarters
being nt Independence a town located
iifnr ICnnsns Citv on the northwestern
border of the state. 1'roin here the work
nf extension was carried on. The mem
hers of the exchange believed that inas
much in the course of higher development
there would be less call in ordinary man
uf:n-l tiriiisr pursuits for workers some
plan should be adopted by which th
workers should be niven the opiiortunit
for a comfortable and happy existence
which to a certain extent seemed ir
open to them than in the past.
It was also lielievcd that where oppor
tunity existed for men with capital to
establish and succeed that there also wa
the opportunity of those who placing
their aggregate funds in one operation
should establish. manufacture and sell the
very articles which the capitalist would
produce and thus themselves benefit by
the same causes which enabled a man
with n necessary amount of funds to
greatly increase the same. There is no
time when there is not opportunity for
the success of labor upon the co-onor-ative
plan provided the business what-
ever it may be. is operated with the
s.iine degree of care and forethought
which a business man will bestow upon
his own n flairs.
The exchange as it is called is not
conducted on the principle share and
share alike. The returns from labor are
divided pro rata among those who con-
tribute material nnd others who eon-
tribute labor. An accurato record of
tliis is kept in every place where the ex-
change has a branch and each of flies-
branches acts only for itself the returns
from its operations going to the numbers
thereof. There is no contribution to a
patent organization beyond that neoesi-
rv to keen un the general organization
hendoitarters which enables branches nil
over the country to benefit one by the
ntlipr.
When a member deposits . products
material or labor in the enre of the
branch of the exeliaiisre to which ho be-
longs ho receives what is practically a
statement of accounts since it perform"
that function but which has bepn eall"d
n certificate of deposit since it is the
association's testimony that such mate-
rial iabor is in its charge. When
however such deposits nre withdrawn
the certificate is recalled and cancelled
else it would otherwise testify to a false
hood and misstate the account. When
cnlv a portion of the amount of tho iip-
posit is withdrawn at n tune sticn partial
transactions nre recounted for by a stnte
incut of the balance vet due whiel
statement has been called in view of its
function n balance check.
With these two simple documents the
labor exchange records the whole range
nf its relations with its members and by
them it may. at any. time come- at not
only their true standing with the same.
but also the sum total which snnl mom
lu.ra linve contributed toward the com
mon end. It is a self balancing easilv
comprehended system of accounts and
no better has so far been presented. Snch
then is the labor exchange its alius nnd
its working plan.

its most enthusiastic aims it expects the
nntF fiiturp to prove.
The nren of the manufacturing field of
exchange is very wide. Its members mav
wear for instance shoes which are made
bv n branch of the exchange at Lynn..
Mass. The men get their hats from
Orange. N. .T.. where a large factory is in
vmstnnt operation. Away down in
"faff town. N. C. there is a tannery nt
vhich much leather is tanned nnd in
he same town are exchange grint nnd
!tw mills. At Ashtabula O.. basket
and basket splints are manufactured.

is operated by the exchange and nt Al-
liance O. there are a number of minor
industries prospering mightily together
with a cool mine the output of which is
by no means small. The exchange mem-
bers in Denver Colorado make bricks
and then erect buildings with them. At
Fuita. in the same state there is n
branch of the exchange which improves
the winter months by putting up much
Ice which it sells to members at a price
which nn ice company would think offer
ed small opportunity for wealth. At

change factories are.sold to members out

its appearance nt a price far less than
the same goods could be obtained for
elsewhere and still a reasonable profit
is assured each exchange. '1 he resuus
