Among the documents in the Forum
have been discovered certain writings
tending to cast considerable doubt on
the generally accepted statement that
Nero set fire to Rome and .fiddled as
he watched it burn. 1t now appears
from many evidences that the fire was
started by the Christians. 1t is shown
by various documents that the fire Or
iginated close to Neros own palace.
and that the suburbs inhabited by the
poor Christians escaped the conflagra-
tion.

Let AnEIomanl.c. Take Heed. =

London, Nov. 12.-Those who have
long agitated against the docking Of
horses tails have won a great victory.
The Queen, in sending out an order
that none of her horses be treated in
that way, also announced that she
had persuaded the Prince of Wales to
follow her example. With the royalty
talking such a vigorous stand, it is
likely that the docked horse will soon
be as rare in London as full-tailed
horses are at present

A muddy river betokens one of the
greatest of national losses. It means
that the rich soil, which Jack Frost
and other natural agencies have been
ages in forming, is washing away
into the ocean. Tillers of the land
could do much to prevent the loss by
keeping the ground on hillsides COW
cred with trees or with sod. 1t is
the cultivated field on a slant which
washes away most rapidly. 1t is con-
trary to public policy, or at least to
the welfare of the future, that the top
soil Of such land should be sent down
to the ocean when 1t might be yield

now muddy were clear before the COM

THE SAME OLD SPIEL
Public Ownership Of Public Utilities
Soullessness of Corporations,
Etc.

"Cyclone'' Davis. the celebrated Texan.
addressed a large gathering at the AUDI
forum last night. Mr.. Davis is a popu-
list and all the local leaders of the party
occupied seats IN the platform including
Judge Clancy, Peter Breen, Dan McDon-
aid Secretary of State Hogan, and
Messrs. Sheffelbin and Mackel. w. A.
Sheffelbin, chairman of the popullst CEN
trail committee, presided. Mr.. Sheffelb1n
went into the floral business in introduc-
ing the Cyclone" whom he said had
helped organize the populist party In
fourteen states. Mr.. sheffelbin then paid
his respects to some officials in high
places, who he said, a used the party
in order to get into power. and then had
/ slipped away like renegades and had gone
| over to the enemy.
When Mr.. Davis was introduced he was
accorded a vociferous welcome. He said
! by way of introduction that while the
! populists had been ''joshed" as calamity
howlers the ''joshing" all c2fne from
those who were ~desponsible Tor the Gala
mites.
He then talked of the three great ply
steal factors-land, money and high
ways, and said neither of these factors
should be monopolized-that they should
be controlled by the people. He then dis
cussed the three factors In commerce
men, machinery and n He de-
nounced corporations as soulless and as
the enemy of the best interests of man
kind. He said while there is land enough
on his continent to accommodate three
fourths of the population of the world
there are 40, 900, 600 homeless people in
America. The corporations and aristo-
cracy of the two continents own enough
land to cover nine of u states and con-
troll the highways that span the conti-
nent.
Mr.. Davis was inclined to believe that
the populists, once in power, would check
these evils. His idea is to limit the Ian
grabbing and regulate all enterprises in
the interest of he people.
Mr.. Davis objects to the subjugation of
the Filipinos. He objects to a war of con-
quest. He predicted that if the plans of
the administration were carried out In
the Philippines the nation would be van
dalized, and millions of Cinnamon would
come to this country n take the place
of the W~orkingmen.

THE COPPER

A New York dispatch of March 30 says:
The copper situation is growing in in
terest m is attracting more attention
than at any time since prices advanced
to 1870. per pound last year.. One Of
the highest authorities on copper mat
tiers in the United States, or for that
matter in the world, said to-day: 1.-THE
movement in he copper shares has only
just begun. The copper situation was
never better thai at this moment and
the prospects are that it will still further
improve in the near future. Not only
is our home demand on the increase but
the demand from England, Germany and
France is greater than eve before with
a prospect of a still larger. consumption
staring us in the face.
1.-THE great demand for copper is, of
course, due largely to the introduction
Of electrical railways and lights in all
parts of the civilized world. For these
purposes copper is the first necessity and
no substance has yet been found as a
place as a conductor of electricity. The
exports of copper for the 20 days Of
March amounted to 1921 tons. This
breaks the record for any month in the
history of the trade. The largest export
record before this was in September.
1893, when shipments of 16, 131 ton were
made. This months record will be
somewhat increased turing the remain,
ing two days.. The normal exports are
between 1900 inc 10000 tons per month
The increase in the production last year
only amounted to about 10 per cent while
the consumption increased enormously.
1t is impossible to give the percentage of
increase because no one knows what the
amount of copper was on hand at the be-
ginning of last year.
''This we do know, that the visible sup
ply has decreased to a point never known
hofn~n Mn voir1o haC INV bowman mn
hand to any considerable extent, and
with the demand now extant there will
be no surplus supply left anywhere in q
very short time. The increased con-
sumption is very much in excess of in.
creased output. Furthermore I am un.
able to see where n new production is
to come in the near future. We hear of
a number of new mines started, but with
the exception of the Utah Consolidated
mine none of them seem to amount to
much as yet. It takes ten years to open
and properly. equip mine before 1t is
capable of being a steady producer.
UNLESS a very considerable change in
! the copper market ensues very soon I ex-
pect to see the price of copper advance
at least 2cents a pound from present
quotations. We had u best market
last year when copper was selling at Is
to 1871 cents. There will be less hest.
fancy among purchasers now because Of
the fact that there is a shortage in sup
ply and that the demand is in excess Of
the output is better understood than II
was during the last boom. People then
thought the situation was exaggerated
and refused to buy but they have since
learned the truth and realize that nc
change towards lower prices is liable fol
4 long time to onle."
