Peanut as a hciyIlizer.D

The peanut seems to be playing the
part of "civilizer" in some Of the
colonial districts of Africa. Traders
give a negro a bushel of nuts for
seed on condition that he returns four
bushels from his crop, and since the
yield in good years is twenty fold,
the black man generally has sur
plus that he can sell at the rate Of a
shilling bushel. From a single sta
ton in Senegambia there were ship
ped in one year $4,000 tons. Small
Eoys and scientists have long been In
agreement as to the value of the pea
nut; now statesmen also will have to
do 1t honor, since it seems likely to
lead the native African into the paths
Of agriculture.

The Bureau of Public Efficiency,
through its agent, President Alexan-
der A. Mccormick, has asked for an
investigation of the case of County
Treasurer William L. O'Connell. It
might be well to first investigate Chi
cago's horde of taxdodgers, who are
coolly and deliberately trying to plum
der the people.
Several weeks ago Commissioner
Peter Bartzen. introduced a resolu-
ton calling for an investigation of
taxdodging. In it he mentioned the
name Of Rosenwald. This was smoth-
cred by Mccormick and his followers.
But the resolution calling for an in
Vestigation of all taxdodgers by
States Attorney Maclay Hoyne was
carried.
This resolution was placed in
Hoyne's hands. The prosecutor i'm
mediately wrote letter to the county
board asking for all available in
formation and also for an appropria-
ton for an investigation. That was
at least six weeks ago.
But meeting after meeting of the
county board has passed by and
President Mccormick has not read
that letter
In view of these figures and the
demand of States Attorney Hoyne,
Mccormick can do only one Of two
things-act for the people or for JUL
ius Rosenwald. Mccormick last fall
was the pet candidate of RosenwaId's
reform organization. And now they
have started campaign to put him
in the mayors chair. 49,
