New Kind of Rubber.

During the past few months discov-
cry has been made that there are in
the interior Of Brazil vast forests of
trees from which can be produced a
high grade of rubber known as man
icoba." The area is said to be yery
large. but cannot be defined, as the re-
gion has not been fully explored. The
attention called to the first discovery
has led to further exploration, with the
result that from time to time comes
notice of other sections where like
trees occur in Drons!on. The output Of

THE COUP DE GEESE.

The Board Of Public Improvements is delivering
St Louis garbage to Chesley Island, in the NisSis-
sppi River near the mouth Of the Meramec River.
The garbage Is consumed there by pigs and geese,
and ostensby on this account the morning organ OF
the Republican machine refers to the arrangement
as the coup de geese The appellaton is very
appropriate but for another and the present
administration not only does not object TO the phrase
but pleasantly adopts it
The Chesey Island method Of disposng Of gar
bage will survive as feature of the municipal

ment The morning organ Of the Republican ma
chine fails usual, to recognize the exact victims
Of reform: in this instance because it overooks the
leading Republicans who stockholders in CON-
pany which failed to get contract for reducing
garbage.
The coup de geese is coup for good government
by the good-government administration. When the
administration was confronted with a scheme for
the renewal of Objectionable contract, it firmly
refused to accede, and, instead promptly arranged
for the disposal of garbage on Chesley Island. As
a consequence St Louis is rid Of longstanding
nuisance. Chesley Island and the geese and the
pigs are the of victory for the city over a
system. So coup de geese is quite a significant
term.

RESTORING FOREST PARK.

The Civic Improvement League expresses the
correct idea rs to the improvement of Forest Park.
No matter what the cost may be to reform the biz,
peasure-grounds into of the finest of public
resorts and no matter how many years may be re-
qnired to carry out the general scheme, the work
ought to be started in accordance with n definite
plan. The park already widely known and cee-
braed for havip; been the site of the greatest uni
vcrsal exposition, is worthy OF the best genius Of
the landscape architect.
The present cost Of restoring the park is an es-
senal item only in so far as there is an obligation
10 put the impaired part into what may be called
satisfactory condition 1t cannot possibly be es-
sential item in connection with the ultimate i'm
provement of the whole grounds The improve
Inent of the whole grounds will not only demand
more money than is available at this time, but it
will take years Of development No city did
or even can construct great park in year or in
five years.
Most important il ia that there should he com
pIete and definite plans for the general improve
lnent The work Of restoration in the Fair site
should conform to the aesthetic prospects of the
rest Of the grounds. Before the work is started
comprehensive plans should be designed and ap-
proved. in order that the restoration will harmonize
with the artistic nature and possibilities of the
rouudngs: in order that 1t may proceed harmonious
ly from year to year.
The common mistake. in most cities, in nearly all
municipal work, is disregard of method. Improve
ments are made only in consideration of the present

ton is given apparent certainties Of the future.

COMMON MOTIVE.

The organization committees scheme for estab-
fishing the Million Club concludes with declaration
that the union Of the officers Of leading mercantile
and civic associations Of St Louis will give meaning
and force to common motive. This expression suits
the movement Common motive is the energy
which, when exerted makes the big and prosperous
city the great city.
Inhabitants must have faith in their city They
must love their city, show interest In public and
business affairs, advocate public and private i'm
provements, know their cty's resources. overesti-
mate their citys capacity, and cultivate sentiments
Of aspiration and enterprise. They must shame and
subdue the 'knocker," and propagate intense en-
thusasm for achievement
st Louis, like other large cities. has numerous
Independent organizations each of which is working
toward special purpose yet which. in doing. is
Indirectly promoting the general tendency; and it
has thousands Of particular influences which en-
tirely lack organization. st. Louis probably has
more Independent mercantile, civic and improve
ment associations than any other metropolis
The large number of associations indicates ap-
precation Of the necessity and importance OF Or
ganization AS special pursuits beget special as
sociations there is advantage in many Independent
bodies. Furthermore extensive and Independent
organization brings out talent expands interest
In public and semipublic matters and or less
prohibits the concentration Of power or influence
among few persons. But, in the interest Of the
common motive" all of these associations ought
to be so welded that they may act in harmony for
the greater objects
The organization committee recommends in ac-
cordance with this idea, that the Million Club
should unite the twenty eight leading mercantile
and civic organizations. 1t suggests that the new
club should be started with membership Of eighty
the treasurer Of each of the principal existing
sociations.
No matter what might be said against restricting
the membership. 1t is obvious that the organization
committee has arrived at the right policy in ad
vising the federation of the most potent organized
influences of St Louis and in emphasizing common
motive" All associations will realize better fol-

the city, and consequently for themselves. by unit
ing upon the common motive.
Should the committees Recommendation he ap-
proved, rs it probably will be- by the Worlds Fair
Executive Committee, the representative associa-
tions will be brought together practical work
Ing basis. Beyond this however, it probably would
be advisable to institute also popular club, with
the same general ambition. that the public would
be inspired by the common motive Public opinion
is mighty help in exploiting city and in realizing
progress.
