NEED OF RAW
RUBBER IN THE U. S.
B. 6. Work in England to
Have the Embargo
Removed

/ beaief5 III IuDDef goods, tires, as
well as those in the automobile indus
try, are interested in efforts being
made by the Rubber Club Of America
and the Rubber Trade Association Of
New York to induce the British gov
ernment to lift the embargo on the
expectation Of rubber from tile British
colonies insofar as that embargo ap-
plies TO the United States.
| In an effort to attain this end B. q.
Work Of the Goodrich Rubber Com
pany left for England Wednesday OF
last week on board the Lusitania Of
the Cunard Line to confer with repre-
sentatives Of the British government
Mr.. Work was designated as the Off !.
cial representative of the Rubber Club
OF America and the Rubber Trade AS
sociation Of New York.
The Importance attached to the ne
gotiations to be conducted by Mr..
Work was explained yesterday by
Howard =. Raymond, president
Of the Goodrich Rubber Company.
THE finer grades Of rubber" nc
said, come either from Brazil or the
Island Of Ceylon and the Malay States.
Ceylon or the Malay States arc British
colonies, and therefore the embargo Of
the British government places a ban
on the expectation OF the rubber Of
those two colonies to the United
States This leaves us with only Bra
I'll to supply us with the finer grades
of rubber. and the supply from that
country Is wholly Inadequate for
American consumption
"The ostensible object of the Brit
lsh government in placing the en-
barge on tho expectation of rubber Is
70 keep that product from getting into
the hands OF Germany and Austria.
But it hits the United states as badly
as either Of these countries. We arc
trying TO arrange il SO that Ceylon
and the Malay States can export their
rubber TO this country in order 10
supply the legitimate needs Of this
country. As yet we have been un-
successful. but We hope the difficulties
may be solved IN p satisfactory man
ner"
Crude rubber is selling in New York
at about ninety cents a pound while
in England the price is fifty-one cents
a pound, with practically no market,
Il IS said. The normal demand for
rubber in the United States during
1915 Is estimated at $4,000 tons. OF
this amount Brazil will be able to sup
ply only $4,000 tons, leaving fully 3O,-
600 tons which must come either from
Ceylon or the Malay States. Unless
England lifts the embargo II Is SAID
that 100000 employees in the rubber in
dustry in this country will be effected
as well as thousands Of persons who
have invested capital in rubber enter
prises
On account OF the Cutting OF the
British markets with crude rubber. IL
is said that British rubber manufac-
turers under present conditions will
be able to undersell the American
manufacturer. II Is believed, how
ever. that the British government will
lift tie embargo so far as It applies
to the United States, provided assur-
ances are given that none OF the i'm
ported rubber viii be re-exported 20
Germany or Austria.

folks, as of old. He saw the dear old
familiar scenes, nothing else. He for
got his environment and poured out
his soul.
There was restless rustic as he
concluded. A strange change had
come over the face of Bill Bluff. The
reckless, rollicking air of bravado
had departed.
Soberly, seriously, he removed his
great sombrero and placed it on the
floor. From buckskin bag he poured
out in his palm all it would hold of
gold nuggets. These he dropped into
the hat. The other contributed their
mite. The heap was emptied into the
hands of Burr. Bill took his arm
and led him out of the place with a
last word to his fellow conVivialists:
Pm through" Then, as they
gained the street he said in a tone
held steady by the power of a strong
will: GO home, for can see you're
used to one. You've hit me hard, Pm
thinking. Maybe it will start me face
about, too" and was gone.
Burr stood staring after him vague
ly. The enthusiasm that had sus-
tanned him in his song had given way
to the dead, dull sensation that comes
with the reaction from the excitement
of drink. What he had imbibed now
drove him into a certain brain leth- |
argy he could not resist. His steps
grew staggering. He tried to realize |
that he had what was untold wealth |
for him in his present homeless,
voorhees, condition.
He had wavering idea of going |
back to the drinking den and cele- |
brating his unexpected accession of |
cash. He was conscious of reaching |
a doorway. A latch string gave way.
He sprawled in the darkness, crept |
around on his hands and knees, and |
sank into sudden slumber.
1t was morning when Burr awoke. |
He cnucnc Uvoro ctiI1 doznd Ho Grad.

to all that it was not even kept locked
up. Burr closed his eyes again. His
mind began to go over the scenes of
the preceding evening. The gold?
His hand felt along his coat. Yes, it
had been no vision. He could feel the
weighty treasure so prodigally given
for the sake of a song.
There came a glow, sudden inn
pulse to hasten back to the compan-
ions who had dragged him to the
depths Suddenly the scene of last
nights song was revived in his mind.
He looked reverently about the little
place sustained by struggling group
of good people. There stood the lit
tie organ. It was open. He moved
toward it. His fingers strayed across
it's keys.
Surely some good spirit was NOV
ing his better nature. Again he forgot
time and place. He seated himself
before the humble instrument. His
touch swept the keys in prelude to
an old-time song and then, despite
himself, his voice burst forth into a
ringing melody.

his eyes. They were not so binding,
however, that he did not see the big
metal box with a slit in it's top and

the door. 1t was to face a fresh,

the Turks are massacreing Armen-

that approximately 10000 have

Injustice to Children.

One of the tragic injustices of which
a great multitude of parents are guilty
even in this age, is the bending of
children to their will through the pow
er Of fear There is a large class of
parents who are positively brutal with
their little ones. A child quickly
comes to understand reason, if reason
is applied. He is keenly receptive
to truths, and to right ways of doing
things. He deserves to have mysteries
explained to him. He is entitled to
legitimate reasons when he is told
that he must not do certain things.
1t is unfair to insist that he must not
commit some act solely because papa
tells you not to-" The child should
be taught not to be afraid.-Mother' s

for the Governors policy of keep
ing down expenditures to a reason
able basis. If with this end in view
he should resort to the vetoing OF
inflated appropriation bills, and
thereby still further postpone the
final going home of the lawmakers,
the people would applaud his dog
ged determination. Evening Wis

Who's to blame? A few progress
sives in the state senate who have
refused to carry out the pledges OF
their respective parties in order to
embarrass the Governor in order
to help politically the greatest po-
litical fakir and demagogue in this
country. Had they been true to
their party pledges, the session
would have ended ninety days ago
and thousands of dollars been saw
ed to the already burdened taxpay-
ers. At the next election, Boss
hard, Scott, Skogomo and their
confederates both Pc rites, should
be sent to a political tophet.

The University Survey.

l.. p. Benezet, superintendent OF
schools at Lacrosse, has written
to the New York Evening Post con-
troverting partisan statements con-
corning the survey of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and the state
normal schools, in the former OF
which Mr.. Benezet was one OF the
surveyors. Mr.. Benezet is Dart
mouth graduate. He says;
| may say that practically all OF
us were unknown to DR.. Allen at
the beginning of the investigation,
that we went down to Madison
strongly prejudiced in favor of the
university, that we were amazed
and shocked at the poor teaching
and lack of supervision which we
saw. especially in the department
for the training of teachers, which,
in my humble opinion, should be
the one where there should be the
strongest instructors and the clos
est supervision. | may say, also,
that no attempt was made to inf1u-
ence us to report anything but what
we ourselves saw or to twist the
facts to fit any preconceived the
DRY. | have talked with many of
my co-workerS in the investiga-
ton and have found them unani-
nous in their establishment at the
lax methods and general ineffici-
ency which they encountered.
A similar survey was recently
made of the Wisconsin normal
schools. Its findings were even
more scathing in their criticism of
what is going on in these institu-
tons. The normal school authori-
ties, however, have welcomed these
criticisms and are doing their best
to remedy the evils which have
been pointed out. For some reason
which | cannot explain, the univer-
sity authorities have not been will
ling to do the same with their sur
vey, but instead seem to be con-
Quoting an organized campaign of
vilincation and abuse, all aimed at
DIR. Allen. Just what is the ami
mus behind this attack, | cannot
state, but many school men of the
state who, like myself, have hith-
erto been staunch friends of the
university, are Disguised at the
petty and almost dishonest spirit
that has prevailed the attempt to
refute the findings of the survey.
This straightforward statement
should be read by taxpayers and
all who are interested in education
as we'll as by members of the legis-
lature. The university needs reg
ulation. 1t has been demoralized
by circumstances which practically
have permitted its lobby to dictate
the politics of the state-Evening

President Wilson has decided to
invite the cooperation of South and
Central American republics in an
effort to settle the Mexican trouble
to which end Carranza will be rec
ognized as president of that coun-
try. 1t is a difficult problem to
solve, for the reason that there are
so few prominent men in Mexico
that can be trusted in any position
of prominence. They are either
cutthroats, bandits or robbers.
Take the best of them that have
occupied the executive office, and
they have oppressed and robbed
the people and when forced to flee
have taken millions of dollars with
them. The poor peon were dis
possessed of their lands and had to
either join the army of one faction
or the other, or become bandits to
keep from starving. The only way
the country can be redeemed from
the chaos which has existed there
for quarter of century or more,
is to get rid of the leaders In the
easiest way possible and give back
the land to the poems that they may
have homes and an interest in the
government and become free and
independent.

Knew Whipple Would Kick.

The following paragraph which
came from the columns of the es-
teemed Jefferson County Union last
week is incorrectly credited to the
Waterloo Democrat. If we ever
wrote a thing like that it must have
been when we were in a hypnotic
state. AS the Union has picked
this up from somewhere, we sug-
gest that it try the WATERFOWL
Leader, The Edgerton Reporter,
the Madisonian, or possibly the
Whitewater Register. We will
leave it to Brother Hoard himself
to say whether it sounds like us:
1t seems, that the scheme of the
taxeater has been to defeat the leg
islation recommended by Governor
Philip and force him to be a can
didate to succeed himself in the
executive chair and not be a can
didate for the United States SEN
ate, but the scheme will fail. The
people of the state have had suhi-
cheney of the misht whose term will
expire and will insist on a change.
We would suggest Governor Phil
ipp for senator and Senator Ben
nett for governor. Waterloo Dem

The WATERFOWL Leader SAYS

The legislature of Illinois was
in session about sixty days, state
with twice the population of Wis
consin, and then Minnesota and
Michigan with about the same pop
ulation as this state were in ses-
sion about sixty days, and each of
the three legislatures transacted
more business than the Legislature
of Wisconsin.
1t is too late to worry about the
length of the session now. What
the people want to see is the lar
gest possible measure of success
