Fifty years ago last July Charles
Goodyear, discoverer of the process for
vulcanizing rubber, died in the city of
New York. Although he bequeathed
to the world one of the greatest Sc
crets of the age, to which 1t is in
debted today for one of it's most prof
table industries, so far as personal
emoluments are concerned, he left 1t
poorer than the day he entered 1t. OF
all that contemporaneous group, which
included Professor Samuel F. B. Morse,
inventor of the telegraph; Elias Howe,
inventor of the sewing machine, and
Cyrus Mccormick, inventor of the
reaper, his was a singularly adverse
career even up to the end While
potentates We'd with one another to do
him honor, unlike the others, notably
Elias Howe, whose income for a time
was estimated at $4,000 day, Goodyear
derived comparatively no material
benefit from his great discovery and
died heavily in debt. Robbed of the
benefits of his discovery by manufac-
turing pirates, who refused to pay him
a royalty for the use of his process,
which most of the governments of the
earth encouraged by declining to af-
ford him protection, and defrauded by
business associates, who took advant-
age of his confiding, credulous nature,
his lot was a peculiarly unfortunate
one. There is a strong indictment of
the past ingratitude of his fellow coun-
trymen in the announcement just MADE

An Old Story Of Rubber

in New York that after half a century
of silence it Is now proposed in recog-
milton of his service to humanity to
perpetuate his memory by the erection
Of a memorial commensurate with the
Importance of his achievement. as a
tribute from the generations he has
benefited.
No more pathetic narrative can be
found in the history of modern invent
ors than the life story of Goodyear.
Thrust into Jail time and again for
debt, often with nothing to eat, his
sickly wife and five little children
threatened with eviction, dead child
on his hands and no money to pay for
its burial, the butt and ridicule of his
fellows, and with every human face
averted from him, his steadfast devo-
ton to the problem he had set out to
solve in the face of the most insuper-
able obstacles, was inspiring. Nothing
discouraged him. In the solitude of his
prison cell in Philadelphia, into which
he had been thrown as a bankrupt, he
worked on, undaunted, with the enthu-
siasm that only a genius can bring to
his support in trouble, with a deter
nination that would never recognize
defeat. His position in these times is
tritely described by one of his friends,
who said of him: ''If you see a man
with an India rubebr coat on, India
rubber shoes and India rubber cap and
in his pocket an India rubber purse
with not a cent in it, that is Good
year"

than 5000 words Shakespeare used not
more than $4,000 words.

BELL AND JOHNSON

Editor Herald. We notice that IN
+odav,s issue the Record" in
leading front page article, asks Tneo-
dore Bell to be a hero and resign as lne
Democratic candidate for governor OF
California in favor of Hiram Johnson,
the Republican candidate, in order 10
insure the election of Mr.. Johnson.
What we want to ask Is, II TINS ls
not an admission on the part OF tne
Record" that if Mr. Bell, tne Deli95
crat Mr.. Johnson, the Republican, ana
i Stitt Wilson, the Socialist Candidates
all remain in the race, that either Bell
or Wilson will probably defeat John-
son? We would like to know II 1t Is
ReII or Wilson that the Record most
fears? IF itgis not Wilson and is
Rell the Record" fears, then why
should the Record" have the nerve
to ask Bell to resign from the contest
in order to prevent his own election,
and insure the election of his opponent!
IF If is Wilson the Record" fears, why
should the Democratic candidate resign
in favor of the Republican in order TO
beat the Socialist?
viii the "Record" contend that the
Democrats are under obllgatloE TO pun
ont of the race in favor of the Re
nublican party candidate on the pre-
tense that the Republican candidate is
a better man for the people as against
the corporations, than Wilson, the
Socialist? Will the Record, please
explain this to one of it's puzzled read
ers?
Unless this matter can be explained
# will continue to appear to the writer
that the Record" is trying to have
Mr.. Bell make an ass of himself IN
stead of a hero. A. r. HOLSTON.
