Increased Use of Rubber.

The fall in the price Of raw rubber
has led many people to believe that
this article is suffering from over
production and that the future will wit
ness great limitation in the sale OF
this product. But II we turn our at
tention to the existing statistics deal
ing with the entire consumption, pro.
duction and stock Of rubber during the
last few years, we have n totally diff
ferent picture. In the course OF the
three yenrs 19lo-19l2, the entire produc.
tion of rubber increased from 1868 TO
93,669 tons. and the entire consumption
from 76,026 to 99,564 tons. This de.
mand could not have been covered had
there not been considerable stock on
hand from the previous year, aud had it
not been possible to discover new
process for the increased utilization OF
rubber waste, which is now frequently
used as n substitute for raw rubber,
The entire stock of raw rubber only
fell off in the year 1912 to the extent Of
2500 tons, about one-ffth Of the total
amount, but the utilization Of material
worked up from rubber waste has grad
ually. increased till it has about reached
double the amount OF new raw rubber
used. At no time. not even when the
whole trade was passing through Sc,

MORE PERSECUTION.

The anti$Senitic feeling still runs
high in Russia and the Black Hundred
and the Union Of the Russian People,
two societies responsible for many of
the atrocities committed upon the Jews,
are again rampant. The murder Of a
boy, which these prosecutors profess to
believe was committed for ritualistic
purposes, throws Russia into convul-
sions and renews the outcry against
the Jews that existed at the time OF
the Beiless trial No sane man or
woman in any civilized country Of the
world believes there is anything in this
ever-recurring charge of ritualistic
murder against the Jews in Russia. It
is more than doubtful il the Russians
believe it themselves. Yet the persecu-
tion continues and civilization stands

JOHN ID. IN FLIGHZ.

Hide and seek has been an occupa.
tioD for John d. Rockefeller whenever
he has taken time Off from business
and golf. IT must be admitted that he
is the most artful dodger in a game Of
hide and seek that has had for its
theater the entire globe. For many
years John d. was almost constantly
dodging the process servers OF various
courts. Now we find him dodging tho
tax assessor and the tax commissioner
Of Cleveland. 1t is said that he has
decided to shake the dust of Cleveland

VOTING BY MAIL

Perhaps the day is coming when we
shall vote by mail, doing away with The
elaborate election machinery, cleo
tioneering at the polls and Transports
tion Of voters by automobiles and other
vehicles. The election commission in
Milwaukee has a notion that it Will be
able to establish voting by mail. IF
so, the expense Of elections, especially
to the candidates, should be greatly re-
duced Tt is said that Governor Walsh
of Massachusetts has taken to the idea
and is seeking to invent successful
modus operandi.
The Milwaukee plan would place the
ballots in the hands of voters about ten
days preceding the primaries or elec-
tions. Three envelopes are necessary.
The largest, addressed to the voter,
would contain q return envelope,
stamped and addressed to the election
commission, a ballot and blank en-.
velope In which the voter would seal
his ballot after he had marked it.
On tho back of the envelope ad-
dressed to the election commission the
voter would sign his name. address and
precinct, so that the signature could be
compared with the one on file in the
registration list. This provision, it is
claimed, would prevent a voter from
voting twice and also would prevent
"ringers from voting. Returns could
be made until the night when voting
ceases.
Among the advantages claimed for
the Milwaukee, system are:
]. Ballots, having been placed in the
hands of tho voter ten days before
election, could be carefully studied be-
fore being marked.
9. Long waits at the voting booths
would be eliminated.
3. Workers would not be forced to
lose time and pay on election days,
4. Farmers would not be obliged to
travel miles to the voting places,
5, Voting would be made so easy that
the lukewarm and iuvalids could all
have voice in the government, thus
making it representative of the whole

SUICIDE OF KENNEDY.

John j. Kennedy, state treasurer of
New York, has committed suicide in
order to escape testifying at District
Attorney Whitman s John Doe graft
inquiry. We are told that Mr.. Ken
ncdy's accounts are straight and that
he had nothing to fear as result Of
being questioned as TO his connection
with various matters, political and
otherwise. The assertion Of innocence
comes along with the announcement of
the suicide, and must be taken for what
it is worth
"Suicide is confession said Daniel
Webster in the course Of an address to
the jury in a murder trial In the case
of Treasurer Kennedy, however, it is
claimed that worry over the fact Of his
being summoned caused the suicide.
One should speak only good Of the
dead, but Mr., Kennedy's taking of ut
this particular time gives rise to much
doubt. Of course he may have been so
finely strung that mere suspicion of his
integrity would have killed all the joys
of life and caused him TO seek the
oblivion of the grave. This is a bare
possibility. What harvest Death

there exists no overproduction OF rub

the primeval forests cannot be obtained
in sufficiently large quantities.

likely to bring about an enormously in

greater demand for tennis balls, golf

content themselves with using old balls

case. It will probably also not be long

GREEK DIPLOMACY.

in the Balkans and preventing another

conflict with Turkey. Servia is said to
be willing to restore some of the terri

wounds inflicted in two wars, will aid

condition OF the thousands Of laborers
and mechanics, with families dependent
upon them, who are without work in
( the winter time. and it is with this OBJ
| ject in view that the federal commits
sion of industrial relations has under.
taken the extensive investigation
which it is said may result In tho estab-
lishmont of federal employment
bureau by congress to serve AS a clear
ing house for public and private
agencies. and to direct tho movement
of migratory workers.
Citizens of the prosperous west
scarcely realize the extent of human
suffering in the great cities in the win
ter time. when the bres dwinner is
out Of work. Some idea of the horrors
of tho situation, however, is gained
whom it is stated that in New York
alone $4,000 men and women, many OF
them with children dependent upon
them, are unemployed, What those
unfortunate people must endure in the
way Of hunger and cold can only
be imagined by those who have not had
the actual experience.
Continuous employment Of the work
ing men OF the country presents a prob
lem most difficult of solution, yet the
difficulties are not insurmountable. Re-
striction of immigration would be OF
immediate benefit. Road building would
help, and with moro faithfulness on the
part Of the employees and more con-
sideration shown for their fellow men
by employers, the situation would soon
right itself.
No one Is looking for the millennium,
least of all the man working by tho
day. There will always be an army of
incompetent and improvident ones
piteously appealing for help after hav-
ing wasted alike their substance and
their opportunities. These unfortunates
are not a factor in the solution of the
problem now presented. The present
idea is to furnish work for those who
want work and are capable of working.
The United States is putting into
effect radical change IN it's fiscal
system, and we are told an era of IN
paralleled prosperity is at hand. Cheap
money is TO be provided for the farmer
that he may increase his production,
be more amply rewarded for his labor,
and incidentally reduce the high cost Of
living.
The laborer is entitled to his share OF
the good things in store, and some
means should be devised By which he
will be enabled to retain employment,
and so keep the wolf from the door
during the fierce blasts Of winter. The
federal commission of industrial rela-
tions has undertaken great work,
That il will be successful is the heart
felt wish of all true lovers of country.
