Evidently, for the purpose of graft
flying the morbid sensationalism Of the
democratic Milwaukee Journal and a
few other bourbon sheets that are just
now dictat ting movements of the repub-
lican party, fractional committee of
the 1909 session of the legislature has
made report to the present legislature
on the affairs of the primary cam
pain of two years ago. Do the people
of this state desire that another ex-
pensive legislative session shall be
wasted in airing a matter that shows
little more than that one senatorial can
didate spent more money in his cam
paign than three others, simply because

NEW PENSION LEGISLATION

The House of Representatives passed
the Sulloway general pension bill, which
grants pensions ranging from SIP to
S36 month to all soldiers who served
ninety days in the U. s. army in the
civil war or sixty days in the Mexican
war, and who have reached the age of
62 years. The bill adds about S45, 900, =
600 year to the pension roll. It pro
vides for the pensioning of all Union
soldiers regardless of disability. The
general scale fixed in the new bill, ac-
cording to age, is as follows; Sixty
two years, $15 month; IS years, 500 a
month: 70 years, SIS a month; rs years,
S36 a month. Whether the national
senate will concur IN this bill no one in
authority appears to know.

Young Girls, Heed This Advice.
Substitutes for Rubber.

Rubber consumption has kept so close
on the heels of rubber production and
price of the gum has risen so rapidly
in the last few years that nothing
could be more welcome to the manu-
%tacturers of rubber goods and the motor
car people than the discovery of a syn
thetic rubber or some practicable sub
stitute for rubber.
From time to time announcement is
made hat such substitute has been
found, but the manufacturers and others
interested are always skeptical.
Some time ago considerable interest
was aroused by the report that the
British scientist, Weichmann, had made
a rubber from the seed of a South
American palm known as taqua nuts.
He extracted the vegetable albumen,
compounded it with an animal albumen
and a suitable solvent, producing, it
was claimed, a hard rubber which has
all the tensile strength and other good
qualities of rubber except that it will
not stand the action of water and
chemical agents.
This difficulty, in turn, has, it is as
serted, been overcome by compromising
it again with a condensed product of
phenol and formaldehyde. This mate
rial again may be compounded with as
many substances as native rubber.
Another substitute is proposed in
Germany. Five hundred parts of cry
threne are dissolved in benzine and the
solution is heated for 10 hours at a
temperature of $50 degrees centigrade.
A steam distillation then removes the
solvent and the elastic substance that
remains closely resembles rubber.

Railway Situation in China.

Participation by American capitalists
in the new Chinese loans is causing
closer study to be made into the pros
poets for railway building in that en-
pre-. Consul General George E. An
derson of Hongkong has just contrib
uted a comprehensive report on this
subject, which has been published by
the bureau of manufactures of the de-
partment of commerce and labor as
special consular report No. 4s, with the
title, "Railway Situation in China"
Copies can be secured from the
bureau.
There has been no single greater OBJ
stacle to the development OF central
China than the lack of facilities for
communication. The recent imperial
decree, issued with a view to national
izing the trunk lines of the empire and
the $4,000, 900 Hukuang railway, by
which it is expected to rush to compile
ton most of the important railway
lines of central China, augur well for
the extension of foreign trade into the
remote interior. Americans are not only
taking part of the Hukuang loan, but
also of the $50, 1000, 900 government loan
Just agreed on at Picking, and will
probably participate in a further loan
of $40, 900 900 to be made in case GER
tain railroad plans are carried out. The
consul general reports in regard to all
these lines proposed, from Manchuria
to Thibet.
