 Justice Hughes entered Lawyer Carter's office as an office boy and student. As he developed and studied he, himself, became great jurist but it is due to Lawyer Carter's careful training that Justice Hughes de- veloped into the great man that he is today. Later Justice Hughes married his early instructors daughter.
 Thus it is evident that a man who frequently visited in this city and was related to one of the city's best known of the older residents was largely in strumental in shaping the career of the man who republicans believe will be the next chief executive of the United States.

Pageantry and Patriotism.
(BOstOn Herald)

Tn this Shakespearian time Boston has pageants seriously in it's mind, ana the American Pageant association, by it's discussions in this city, has done much to stimulate interest in a form or art which we have too long neg lected. The pageant would be well worth while if it did no more than sur the feelings and quicken the imag- lnatlon. It's educational value is con- siderable, and it serves to revive his tor1cal achievements which the world cannot willingly let die. Great events that have personal appeal lend themselves well to outdoor represen- tatlon. Give your hero a spectacular setting suited to his time, transfigure him with allurements of form, color and music, and you imprint his image in the popular memory more indelibly than can be achieved by any potency of oral teaching or of books.
 We have already revived in this way the romance of new-world discovery with Columbus as it's pioneer; we have seen the achievement which dowered the planet with the art of printing thus magnified and beautified to make an American holiday Only the other day, in one of our Eastern cities it was found possible in a series of scenes to tell the whole story of hu- man industry, from it's beginnings in the cave man, whose tools were of stone to its continuation in the magic or the steam engine and the dynamo. The pageant lends itself we'll to recall

 As fairy as you lay That rings, howe'er the year rolls, As elfin as the May! As lovely as a June day-and that's a. match to make, o sweetheart of the morning, for the heart of loving's sake: As lovely as your song, dear, As tender as your thought, That all the tunes of time, love- On silver looms have wrought!

.What Rubber Means
 70 q Modern ATn1v

Washington, D. C., June 14.-The tremendously important part which rubber is taking in the present war in Europe and equally in the United States punitive expeditions in Mexi- co makes the following bulletin, issued by the National Geographic society from it's Washington headquarters, of significant interest:
 'The fact that practically Saii the commissary supplies and ammunition required by American troops sauth of the Rio Grande are being transport ed in motor trucks, and the news that an automobile train of 1S,000 cars was employed to rush endorsements and munitions to Verdun during the first hours of the German drive against that great French fortress suggest 8 modification of one of the axioms of the great phrase-maker and military genius. Napoleon. The modern army stomach.
 "The product of the rubber trees of the tropics is as vitally 8 contraband 5 dynamite or pitric acid, for the iron shod warhorse of former days has evolved into the padded-wheel motor car, motor truck and motor cycle of 1916.
 ''It is difficult to realize that rub ber's role in modern civilization and warfare has been played only during the last six decades following that happy accident when Charles Good year. a Connecticut inventor, dropped a mixture of sulphur and rubber on d hot stove and discovered the long sought principle of vulcanization which prevents the gum from becom ing brittle in cold weather and sticky when warm.
 Tt was during Columbus second visit to the new world that his sail ors observed the natives of Haiti playing with ball of gum which pos sessed extraordinary qualities of resil- iency. Many years later when it was discovered that this gum could be used to rub out pencil marks it was given the name of Indian rubber
 Rubber was introduced into the United States in 1900, which, by an odd coincidence, was the year of Charles Goodyear's birth. Half a century later a Boston navigator brought from Brazil a number of pairs Of boots which had been coated with the coagulated milk of the rubber trees. Their popularity was imme- diate, on account of their imper- Viousness to water. But more than two centuries previously @ Madrid writer had chronicled the fact that Spaniards in the new world made a practice of waxing their canvas cloaks with the rubber juice to keep out the rain. Our common noun 'mackintosh' is a tribute to the canniness of Scotchman, Charles Macintosh. who

past that the great bulk of our cit- zenship turns today for inspiration. Before the mean animosities and bit ter rancor crept into our social life, brought here by those small bands of men hired to Haunt the praises of other lands and further their own ends, before the racial antiquities stirred up by the war abroad were turned loose upon American soil we lived here as peaceful citizens un- familiar with petty hatreds and jeal- ostes. It is time then that we re- turned to the same blissful state Those who are not solely American are in the supreme minority. They are but a few blatant indivuals roar ing and shouting. They shall not pre- vail against that vast assemblage of Americans who stand shoulder to shoulder, men of many nations, ready to ever uphold the dignity of the flag of their country, the Stars and Stripes of the United States. The princi- ples of America shall not die so long still look with love and devotion upon the worthy deeds performed by valiant men from 1776 to 1908 and later, who still hold to the one flag, the great flag, the only flag, the Red, White and Blue.

Youth.
(Bulletin of the American Iron and
 Steel Association

(Bulletin of the American Iron and
 Steel Association) Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not matter of ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees; 1t is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions. It is the freshness Of the deep springs of life.
 Youth means a temperamental pre- dominance of courage over timid1ty, of the appetite for advanture over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty.
 Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by desering their ideals.
 Years wrinkle the skin; but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
 Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair-these are the long, long years that bow heart and turn the greening spirit back to dust.
 Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every hVman beings heart the lure of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and at starlike things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing, childlike appe- tite for what next, and the joy of the game of living. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
 In the central place of your heart is an evergreen tree; it's name is Love. So long as it f1ourishes you are young. When it dies you are old. Tn the central place of your heart is a wireless station. So long as it re- ceives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, grandeur, courage and power from God and from your fellowmen, so long are you young.-Adapted from an ex- change; author unknown.

improved on this early raincoat by disso1ving rubber in naptha and spreading thin layer of the solution between two pieces of cloth. From the double thickness he made waterproofs that won worldwide popularity.
 "The harvesting of rubber consti- tutes a chapter in human experience which for adventure, romance, suffer
 ing and daring rivals that of the pur- suit of almost any other commodity prized by man, the lure of gold alone excepted. Under the direction and spur of the white explorer and trad CT, the native rubber gatherers plunge through the fetid, snake-infested jungfes of the Amazon, the Orinoco and the Congo, making incisions an inch and a half long, hree-eights of an inch wide and a half inch deep in the bark of the tropical trees which sometimes attain a height of sixty feet and circumference of eight feet Beneath these wounds the na- tive attaches small cups to catch the rubber-m milk which is not the sap of the tree. The average Para rubber tree yields two ounces of milk day. By coagulation in the smoke of a wood and palm nut fire this milk yields one-third it's weight of the
 prized rubber, the normal annual pro-
 duction of a tree being ten pounds of rubber and the flow continues fairly constant for number of years. "While the most approved method of reducing the milk to rubber in
 South America is by coagulation in smoke, natives of Africa frequently re- sort to the practice of covering their bodies with the fund as it is taken
 from the tree, and after there has been sufficient evaporation the rubber
 residue is scraped off and molded into
 cubes. In the Fiji Islands the rubber
 workers use their mouths as retorts' ! or 'separators', the rubber pellets as
 they form being taken in the fingers and moIded into balls
 "One of the by-products of rubber
 harvesting and one which promises
 extensive development, since planta- tions of these trees have been success
 full in Sumatra Ceylon and the Straits
 Settlements, is the rubber seed, which
 yields almost half it's weight of an
 oil closely resembling linseed oil, and
 adapted to the same uses.
 There are many varieties of rub
 Der producing trees, vines and shrubs,
 the most valuable species being that
 which yields the standard par and
 which grows over an area of a million
 square miles in Brazil alone.
 'The world production of rubber
 during the year preceding the Euro
 pean war was 151, ,000 tons, of which
 Brazil produced 10000 tons, her near
 est competitor, the Dutch East Indies,
 al T,i+
 States in that year imported more than twice as much of the raw product as Great Britain, which stood second as a buyer. Four our 57,00O tons S9O,- 000,000 was paid.'

The Mexican Plank.
(NeW York Times !

The Mexican plank in the renubli- can platform is full of sound and fury. signifying nothing. It has no con- structive quality It condemns the presidents policy fercely, although that policy has been of so great in fuence in strengthening Pan-Ameri- can relations and another clause in the platform favors closer commer- cial and social relations with all Latin America. But it contains no hint of a better policy. If the republicans had come out openly for intervention on the one hand, or for absolute non- interference with Mexican affairs on the other, they would at least have made a clear issue of the Mexican question. Bnt they denounce inter- ference in Mexico's internal affairs while declaring that we, the people of the United States, should promote and maintain peace in that country. The whole clause or plank is made up of direct contradictions. We learn from 1t that the republicans would have done nothing to offend the suscepti- bilities of the 15,000,0OO inhabitants of Mexico, yet would not have per mitted the bandits, desperadoes and conscienceless agitators, who are so
 
 tC operate in that country; that they would not have permitted Outrages upon American residents and would have protected the interests of all foreign investors in Mexico, yet would not have interfered in Mexican in ternal affairs. They would not have recognized Carranza, but would have acted promptly" they would have restored and maintained peace How? By recognizing the bloodthirsty usur- per, Huerta, perhaps.
 The Mexican plank is the rottenest one in the republican platform. It is utterly futile. It's sole purpose is to cast a slur. on the democratic ad- ministration, which has doubtless blundered occasionally in it's treat ment of this vexatious and bewilder- ing question in the last three years, partly because the previous republi- can administration blundered Tn Mexican relations, but on the whole has treated it so carefully as to win the approval of a large majority -of

War and the Market.
Waterbury American ]

1 Wall street seems to think that the war news helped yesterday to strengthen the market. For example, the British and the Frencch bonds in all but the biggest lots sold for 96,- while large sales, such as lots of 287- 900 and 2,000, sold for 95 3-4. The markets point of view seemed to be that Germany's capture of a second fort at Verdun, after more than three months of fighting, was more than offset by the victorious sweep of Russia against Austria. Also that Berlin's admission of it's great losses in the North Sea fight, modifying rad ically it's first claim of victory was confession that the German gov ernment had minimized it's losses at the start off in order to placate the people who are restive; seeing little if any hope of ultimate victory for Germany.
 It would be, of course, most unwise to exaggerate any such interpretation as this which Wall street seems to put upon the latest occurrences in the war. Also Wall Streets view Of one day is often reversed by it's view of the succeeding day. But Wall Street is not moved by sentiment in it's speculations. It is dealing in dollars, and hence attempts at least to size up cur lieves to be the real facts and not according to what it may expect or may hope. There is then some sig nificance in the practical view which Wall street takes of the ebb and flow of the conflict between the great Eu- ropean powers.

Unafra1d.
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.)

(Pittsburgh Gazette-IlmeS.)
 Her name was Miss Blanche Unangst, a name having an awkward and unmusical sound to ears attuned to the English language, but on the scroll of fame on high, where it will be enrolled with loving care by the recording angel, it will look very well indeed, for beside it will be inscribed: "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends" Miss Unangst is the school teacher of Deforest, Ohio, who snatched a child from beneath the wheels of fast-fying trolley car and hurled it to a place of safety, then herself was crushed to death. Not on all the embattled fields of Europe, where prOdigies of valor and splendid deeds of self-sacrifice are of almost daily occurrence, has there been any thing to eclipse the unselfish heroisn of this young woman. The child was not of her own family, but it was enough that it was helpless and in peril of it's life. Without an instant's pause she answered the call of hu- manlty, although she must have seen the certainty of her own fate. The child was picked up uninjured. Its rescuer was dead when the crew of the car reached her.
 It was magnificent ded and it may well be believed that bright spot will be reserved on the deathless scroll for her strange-sounding name, and that there, where all tongues are as one, it will be known that the word is German and stands for "un- afraid"
