A SCHOOL OF AMERlcANisM.

| New York Herald: In a recent adj
dress Mr.. Martin j. Wade, judge OF
1.-THE United States court for the
southern district of Iowa, contributes
to current thought many valuable
suggestions on the question, shall we
have school of Americanization?
| Judge Wade says that the war
disturbed the lives of many of our
people, unsettled their occupations.
overturned ordinary economic condi-
tons and produced confusion The
war aroused many elements of
human passion under which the influ-
ence Of christ ian civilization had
long been dormant The passion OF
seifishness and greed seems to have
been aroused to a degree never be-
fore existing in this country. The
common interest in the lives and for
tunes Of our fellow men which must
exist in democracy seems to have
faded away"
Many persons will not agree with
Judge Wade in his apparent pessim-
Ism; nevertheless all will endorse his
statement that education is the first
remedy for the evils which exist as
a result of radical socialism, anarch-
ism and all forms of bolshevism. 1t
Is well said that every American
should be a lamp lighting the way of
freedom as well as a stone wall re.
sisting every attack upon the integ-
rity of the nation" Yet the big ques-
ton is, how shall this education be
practically accomplished?
Judge Wade suggests that IN an
Americantzation campaign the
methods OF political campafgners
should be adopted. Some stanch
American should be selected in each
precinct. A QUESTIONABLE should go
to him giving information concerning
every voter. From these answers a
mailing list should be made. To the
proper persons on this list Americani-
cation literature should be sent which
will help bring to them something OF
the vision of their country as It
really is.
In the words Of Judge Wade:-
This generation is going to protect
the flag; the next generation NAV
substitute the red flag for the stars
and stripes" To avoid this calamity
the present generation must inaugur-
ate some AUGMENTATION campaign

Wade's suggestions with regard to

SLOW TO DISCOVER.

Senator Poindexter, of Washington, seems to
score heavily on the government department of
justice in his reply to the assertion that the dis
covery of nationwide conspiracy against law
and government was made in April of 1919.
Senator Poindexter points to the Congressional
Record of the date of April twenty second, 1918,
wherein speech of his on 1.-The Mooney Case
and the Propagation of Anarchy he said:
The greatest issue that confronts not only the
American people but the western world is the
suppression of the arrogant insolent and tyran-
meal anarchic movement. Its leaders need to
be subjected to the power of the government. r"
The department of justice Will do well to amend
its assertion to read that anarchy was first dis
covered by the administration in April of 1918;
il will be belated discovery and the admins
tration has a number of like sort chalked up
against it.

RUBBER PRODUCTION.

At meeting of chemists in New York City
in 1912, the British chemist, Perkin whose
father discovered amiline dyes, told how he had
made synthetic rubber The German chemist,
Duisberg, then told how he had made it and
showed artificial rubber tires which had been
driven, he said, one thousand miles. There had
been intense rivalry between the chemists Of
these two nations to see who would make rubber
first but the British patents on the process
were first applied for and allowed.
Rubber can be made as a laboratory product,
but not as yet cheaply enough to compete with
the natural supply. The Germans could not
make it Of good quality at any cost, as is shown
by the fact that they were in such straits for
lack of it during the war that for Struggled
dental rubber sheets for gas masks they paid
seventy dollars pound. Yet rubber can be
made from turpentne or from corn or from coal
tar by-products. The natural supply comes
from Brazil and the Congo, but during the last
twelve years this supply has shrunk from sixty
eight thousand to ffty-three thousands tons,
whereas the supply of plantation rubber pro-
duced from groves planted in Ceylon, the Malay
states and islands, Guiana and a few other To-
calltleS has risen from one thousand to two hum
dred thousand tons This industry is mostly
owned and controlled by the English and Dutch.

was an American, a man by name of Hayward,
who discovered that sulphur could be combined
with rubber in what is now known as the vul-
canizing process.
Considering the fact that there are hundred
known uses for which rubber will be put as
soon as enough OF it can be produced, it would
seem that our government should exercise the
same intelligent provision that the British gov
eminent does and encourage rubber plantations
in the Philippines on a scale adequate to give
us our full share of this great staple for which
the world must always have increasing uses and
needs.

The roaming sheep, forbidden. TO roam far
We're stayed within the shadow of his eye
The sheepdog that unseen shadows edge
Moved, halted parked, while the tail shepherd stooo
Unmoving leaned upon sarsen stone,
Looking at the rain that curtained the bare hills
And drew the smoking curtain near and near.-
Tawny bushfaced, with cloak and staff, and flask
And bright brassribb'd umbrella, standing stone
Against the venless, senseless sarsen stone.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

| Webster City Freeman Journal: The
republican party is as sorry over the
Bryan-Wilson split as the democratic
party was over the split between
Roosevelt and Taft. However. Mr..
Bryan is hardly big enough to make
the fight that Roosevelt did. Wilson
will easily sQuelch the Nebraskan In
the next national convention. But the
flight will furnish some amusement
| for republicans, anyhow
Vinton Ea gle: In looking for logi-
cal candidate for the democratic pres
idential nomination, it begins to seem
that Mr.. Bryan always draws up and
halts in front of his mirror.
Perry Chief: ii the treaty is adopted
with reservations, who do you think
will admit that the credit belongs to
him? You won't need more than two
additional guesses if your first one is

enough to live on. This should not be
so difficult
Davenport Democrat: Americans
must read with good deal of regret,
and some shame, the reports of the
signing of the peace treaty, an his
toric occasion at which their country
was not represented. and an event
that leaves it the only country in the
world still technically at war with
Germany.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The fact
that they have signed up their peace
in Europe before we are ready should
give us no alarm. 1t is better that It
is so. We are interested-but IL Is
their peace. America has no boun-
dairy lines that are affected, nor any
indemnities coming. America helped
to fight the war, but in way the
peace concerns them mostly.

Alleged Measurements Corrected.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Certain misstatements made by the
Nauvoo correspondent Of The Keoluk
Gate City which appeared in the paper
under date OF Jan 18th, should be
corrected, and we give the facts. Ap-
parently the correspondent had the
intention to create a wrong impress
sion of the proposition or misunder-
stood the facts which are worthy OF
fair consideration.
Many of your citizens are aware
that this company purchased a GUAM
tity of grapes and apples from Nau-
voo's growers last season when 1t be-
gan the manufacture of fruit Juices in
its plant at Warsaw and that there
was under consideration at the same
time a proposition whereby we could
arrange for at least a large portion
OF the grape growers crop during the
coming year. This proposition, how.
ever, was not given definite action and
the purpose OF our recent conference
with the board Of directors of the
NauVoo Grape Growers association
was to formulate some tentative plan

CHEMISTS TO THE RESCUE.

Despite prohibition we can still have baking
powder biscuit; there seemed doubt of it since
our principal source of tartaric acid made from
cream of tartar which is found in the bottom of
wine casks is now prohibited. The United
States used to produce ten million pounds of
cream of tartar every year and use it all, too.
1t looked like importation on a large scale if
our dough was to rise, but the chemists have
come to the rescue with process by which tar
taric acid and lot of other useful acids can be
gotten from coal tar. Pretty much everything
seems to come out of coal tar if it be treated
rightly; perhaps many factors to help solve our
whole industrial problem of the future are
latent in coal tar; if So our chemists are show
ing ability to find them.
