AFRICAN RUBBER PLANTS.

AFRICAN RUBBER PLAN1 -.
The African rubber supply is very

of several genera belonging to the bo-
tanical order Apocynaceae.
Landolphia Hendelottii D. G. is =
woody, slow-growing vine native to the
dry hot open country from Senegambia
to the western Soudan, between deg
and u deg. N latitude. While this is
an important source of rubber it is con-
sidered unsuited to cultivation because
of its very slow growth. 1t takes
twenty years to attain full maturity.
Iandolphia owariensis Beauv., grows
in the great tropical forest region OF
western Africa. About half of the Kon-
go rubber comes from this vine. "A
characteristic of this species as yet I'M
explained is that individual plants
growing side by side, and apparently
identical. show wide variations in the
amount of rubber which they yield,-a
fact tending to discourage cultural ex-
periments with this species.
Landolphia klainei Pierre. Native OF
the Kongo forests, is considered worthy
of cultivation in tropical forest regions
because of it's great rapidity of growth.
IT produces a rose-colored rubber of
high value.
Landolphia Kirkii Dyer. is the most
important rubber-yielding vine of east

possessions to Victoria Nyanza- 1t is

There are many other species of Lam
dolphias but these are. economically the
most important.
There are also a number of species OF
Clitandra and Carpodinus of greater or
less value as rubber-producing plants
Root rubber is derived from the roots
of various herbaceous plants that grow
in the omen prairfes or savannahs in CEN
traI west Africa. The plants are puzzled

THE RETAIL MERCHANT.

In an interview in New York,
Sept. 16, James r. Keen, who has
thrice lost and regained a fortune
in Wall Street, says:
And another bad feature of our
enormous industrial corporations
is the deplorable tendency to de
stroy or vitiate, our mercantile in
dependence as individuals. 1t is
nv firm conviction that the day
is coming when the individual
small merchant will cease to ex-
ist. In his place will be millions
of persons working for wages and
salaries, whereas yesterday and
today they were. and are, proprie-
tors. In other words, | believe
the time is coming when practl-
cally all mercantile and industrial
affairs will be conducted by cor
porations.
The Appeal has been declaring
this for years, as the only and in
evitable outcome of the present
era of concentration. Not only
the small merchant must go, but
the owner OF small business prop
critics will have no tenants. for
the big stores will require big
buildings and they will be owned
by the corporations who own the
stores. And those who are now
living off these rents will find
themselves with property bring
ing no income, and, therefore,
worthless. If the men of small
means will not see this before it
hits them, they will see it when
they find themselves up against
it and helpless. Already the
great corporations are selling all
their small properties. They see
it coming Appeal to Reason,

THE brazen admission by high
insurance officials that they have
spent huge sums in debauching
legislatures should alone operate
to put them in the penitentiary
for the balance of their lives,
The crimes they are confessing
go to prove them SO dangerous to
the public that life long imprison-
ment is the very lightest penalty
that can in justice be given them.

THE railroad pressure became
too heavy for the Board of
Equalization and they accommo-
dated their friends by cutting off
a little over a million dollars from
their valuations. The increase
when distributed around among
the people will not be noticed.
True, the reports of earnings show
that Colorado roads were never
so prosperous before but that did
not seem to strike the G. o. p.
eoualizers as reason why they
should pay their taxes cheerfully.
Great thing to have a set of Off
cials selected by the corporations
and the Supreme Court. They
know who elected them.

THERE is considerable talk just
now in democratic circles to the
effect that Milton Smith should
and must retire from the chair
manship of the State central
committee. 1t might be good
thing for the party but it does not
follow. The question is who
would be his successor2 The
only tip we have received was
that Harry Insley, Bob Speer's
representative would be pushed
tor the place. In our opinion
that will not go with outside
democrats. The only object in
displacing Smith is to get rid of a
Denver man and fill the place
with an outsider.

HARRY A. LEONARD, bank
clerk in New York, by clever
forgery obtained possession of
S359,000 worth of securities. He
claims that the coup was run tor
the express purpose of showing
how loose were the banking
methods of the metropolis.
Strange to relate the bankers do
not take his object lesson in the
kind spirit that might have been
expected, and are doing their
best to send their youthful teacher

ABOUT the only real measure
for increasing the revenues of the
state is the much abused revenue
bill introduced by B. F. Mont

and as about all its other provis-
ions have been tested it may be
regarded as settled that the bill

THE COUNTRY'S PROBLEM.

Pected to proceed along the line
of uncovering the use of money
to influence legislation by con-
gress and state legislatures. 1t
has been shown that very large
sums of money were intrusted to
Judge Hamilton, an attorney in
the employ of the New York Life.
for purposes which have not been
explained, and that the same man
also acted in a confidential capac-
ity for the Equitable and Mutual
Life companies, thus indicating
that the three companies were OF
one mind and had identical in
terests as to the matters which
he handled. The heads o. the
companies, while on the witness
stand, have professed astonishing
ignorance concerning the funds
which were placed in the hands
of Hamilton and the books OF
the companies shed no light upon
the reasons why they were in
trusted to him. In a word, every
effort has been made to cover up
the Hamilton account as some
thing mysterious and beyond
explanation.
Such a pose, of course, is
absurd. The heads of the COM
panies know exactly what Hamil
ton got the money for and what
he did with it, and the task of the
Investigators is to force them to
tell or to take refuge behind the
statement, itself incriminating,
that to tell the truth would in
criminate them.
Current report in New York
has long connected insurance in
terests with an expensive lobby
at Albany and with an individual
who is in constant attendance up
on the sessions of congress and
who lives in luxury, though he
has no visible means of support.
While the committee of the
New York legislature has been
hammering at the methods of the
companies, the executives of SIX
other important states have
thought it advisable to undertake
special inquiries of their own, and
the insurance commissioners of |
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Nebraska and Texas
are now in New York city for the
purpose of investigating and re-
porting TO their governors in
order that recommendations may
be made to the next legislatures
of the states named.
The questions involved are of
the very first importance. AS
yet they have hardly been sug-
gested above whisper. Can the
life insurance business be con-
tinued along the same lines2 Is
not use of company money for
private profit inevitable when
company grows to such size
that its assets are counted in
hundreds of million? How large
should a company be permitted
to become? Will it become
necessary to establish government
ownership of the life insurance
business?
The Times long ago pointed
out what was meant by the ex-
traordinary growth of the big in
surance companies. Being con-
tinuing institutions, it was in their
power and was part of their plan
to utilize the principles OF COM
pound interest to an extent far

PORTLAND FAIR DRAWS WELL
Nearly 10000 Admissions First Week
Not including Opening Day.

Portland, June 1s.-usually an EXPOSE
tion IS disappointed during its early DAYS
by reason of an attendance falling far
below expectations. but this was not the
ease with the Lewis and Clark exposition
During the first week the admissions
were 1921 on the opening day. But the
average fora the first week. exclusive of
opening day, was 10,60s. This is eonsid-
cred remarkable, in view of the general
tendency of the public to wait several
weeks aften the opening of a fair on the
presumption that there will be more to
see later.
The Portland fair will run 1S7 days, or
until October Is. Expert guessers, be-
fore the opening, figured that the total
attendance would be from 1000 00O0 to l.,
100000 Even if the daily average does
not exceed that of the first week, the at
tendance will be but a little short of a
million and a half-the highest figure set
by the guessers.
But as the exposition progresses the
crowds are sure to increase. This is the
history of all expositions. Every day
there is some special event, and during
the season there are a number of such
events which will more than double the
ordinary attendance. The exposition man.
agement is highly gratified at the aus
picious start already made.

THE NEGRO IS LAWLESS,
RECKLESS AND IMMORAL
So Says Prominent Negro Minister in
Acknowledgement Laws
of God"

Alanta' Ga, June 1s.-In sermon at
Big Bethel Methodist church here today
Key. John A. Davis, D. d, a prominent
negro minister, presiding elder of the
Atlanta district, African Methodist Epis-
eopal church, declared that the new
negro, the negro of the present gener-
alton, is "a lawless character, immoral
and reckless, who has respect neither for
the rights of man on earth nor for the
authority of God in Heaven" and said
he was liar If he denied the charge.
He said among other things:
This is my thirtleth year as a preacher.
| am 81 years old. My word for it, have
seen both the old and the new negro.
The tactics and procedure of the new
negro is destroying him. His reckless dis
regard for moral purity, a disposition to
ignore the church and the Gospel alive
for life of ease and pleasure, ignorant
and malicious disregard for the laws
of God and the rights of man, that is
daily being practieed by a majority OF
the race, convince me beyond a doubi
that the new negro Is a lawless being ano
he is a liar if he says he is not.
THE negro preacher must countenane'
wrong living, wrong action and almost
endorse crime to be permitted to preaef
to this new negro. A decent preacher is
denounced if he attempts to advise ano

Cunning Efforts of the Manufacturers
to Popularlze Fashion Fad.

From the Chicago Post.
The admirably inspired press agent of
the hoop-skirt manufacturers is earning
his full salary, no matter how large that
may be.
One of the promary principles of success
in providing women with the attire that
makes them rival the butterfly in grace
md beauty is dependent upon frequent
hanges of style. If there were no
hanges whatever in the material, cut,

means of counteracting such posi-
tendencies, fashion steps in to keep

But as it is not easy as 1t was In the
DAYS of imperial courts to make some

lever that overturns one mode and sets

the press agent now turned toward up

Elimination of the Horse.

From Harper's Weekly.
One of the most striking suggestions
for the amelioration of traffic conditions
in overcrowded city streets is to restrict
certain highways. such as Broadway,
New York. to motor vehicles. There
would be an important saving in space
as the elimination of the horses would
permit at least half as many more vehi-
Giles to occupy the streets, whether in
motion or when drawn up at the curb
ready for loading or unloading
Furthermore, 1t Is fact that motor
vehicles, and especially those for freight
can be run at much greater speed than
trucks drawn by horses, while their con-
troll is far simpler matter.
Then there is also the fact that sin
gle motor truck can be constructed of
larger dimensions than any horse-drawn
truck Such a plan has been seriously
considered by engineers interested in
municipal development, and there are
many points to recommend 1t. such asthe
decrease of wear on streets due to mar
row iron-tired wheels, the absence of
dirt, and, possibly, less noise.
