men substituted. But the pressure
brought TO bear on the supervisors
was too great and they weakened
and did not carry out the agree
ment. One member OF the board
OF supervisors admits that non
partisan force is much the best for
the city's interests. but says he was
supported loyalty by the members
of the present force. and does not
believe in deserting his friends.
The retention of the old police
force after June 1st was great dis
appointment to the citizens, and the
sight OF the same old gang In uni
form was bitterly resented. Appeal
after appeal was made TO the coun-
ell to cut of the whole force. and
leave the city without policemen.
rather than have the present ones
retained, as the citizens said they
would feel safer when the men now
acting were disarmed.
The council acting strictly under
the charter. as will be seen by read
ing the law quoted below, passed an
ordinance reducing the force to two
men. and providing for the appoint
ment OF special policemen when
needed, IL the supervisors have tho
exclusive right to name policemen.
why was this provision put into the
charter?
The council with the concur
renee OF the board of supervisors
shall determine the number and fix
the compensation of the policemen.
Tho council with the concurrence
OF the board OF supervisors may
make provision by ordinance for
the appointment OF special police
meH, and fix their compensation,
but otherwise no person shall act
as policeman until he is nominated
and his nomination is confirmed as
above"
II the charter had not intended
that the council should provide for
the naming OF special policemen,
why put this In the charter at all?
In the same section II gives the SUI
pervisors power to appoint regular
policemen. This is clear. and the
power OF the council by ordinance
to appoint special policemen is also
clear.
There has been some criticism
about the council not limiting the
number of special policemen, and
the supervisors In non-curring I'm
police ordinance mentioned this as
an objection. This objection was
overlooked. however. by the su-
pervisors, as they approved the ac-
tion of the council in allowing them
power to appoint as many as hey
saw At. 1t was all right to author
ize the appointment OF even thou
sands when the power was in the
hands OF the Republican supervi-
sors. but since a Democratic mayor
has the power OF appointment, It IL
all wrong not to limit the number.
inconsistency does not seem to be
confined exclusively to the Demo
cratic council as the Telegraph
would like It's readers TO believe.
The council Is criticised for try
ing to follow the wishes of people
rather than follow the advice OF a
discredited gang, and for enforcing
the law not made by themselves.
but forced upon the city by the
gang itself, who expected to use Il
to further their own interests.
The council should be sustained
'for the enemies IL has made"

TURKEY USES COPPER.

The president Of an important com
bination of copper mines, smelters,
metal selling agencies and copper and
brass working mills said to repre-
sentative of the Boston Financial
News: Within thirty days our cop
per producers have sold upward of 10,
100000 pounds of copper. The larger
part of this tonnage has gone into the
hands Of domestic consumers who
are fast working up products. I dc
not believe there is any considerable
amount of copper held by spectators
Friends concerned in copper indus
tries not connected with my interests
are of my mind with respect to the
visible supply OF copper in Europe
that none of it will come back neic,
Today comes the news from our Ger
man selling agents that Germany has
financed a loan for account of Turkey
that. among other things, will enable
Turkey to pay for cartridges that will
consume 100000 pounds of copper.
But for the fact that Turkey was al
most destitute OF cartridges a few
weeks ago, tae chances were that war
would have broken out, as the press
predicted. But Turkey being without
Iany store of fixed ammunition, had to
hold, her peace.
AS l understand this Turkish mat
ter, local metal house will have the
contract for the copper to be worked
into ammunition by a German ammu-
milton company. In today's copper
market, the only important specifica-
tior is for 100000 pounds of cleo

making corporation. The lowest price
for a tonnage of that magnitude is
II 3-4 cents. The advance in the basic
price for copper and brass wire made
yesterday, means that wire makers
expect that copper will be at Is 1-2
cents within sixty days. Eight of the
important copper producers are sold
out until February.

WAR WITH JAPAN
One of the Elder GGttateSrle I
Points Out Why It IS
Inevitable,

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-'War be
tween Japan and the United States
is inevitable" is the startling declara-
tion made by Gen. Viscount TorIo,
japanese elder statesman and one of
the closest counselors to the mikado.
Not only is it inevitable, but, on the
same prophetic authority, it will last
not nor 80, but perhaps 100 years,
and will be the greatest war in the
history of mankind
Gen. Torio makes this bold proph-
ecy in an interview secured by Rich
ard Barry, the war correspondent, in
the December number of New York
magazine. 1t is a remarkable utter
ance, coming as it does from man
of such great prominence. Sen. Torio
is the first authoritative voice Of ia
pan to predict war with America. AS
to the length of the predicated con
fiict, the Seer of At9mi.' as the mag
azine article entities him. said:
A foo-Year War, Perhaps.
Como and see ne when you return
from the first stage Your hair will be
as gray as mine.
What! A so years war?'
Perhaps 1907 he answered. "YOU
have a great nation. and we have
well-we have a nation, too
DO you then regard so confidently
a conflict with America"
Il regard it as inevitable. You are

And you feel certain OF the uf

Remember this and as he spoNo

ence between you and us hinges on 4

of history that the white man sha

part OF it, for any great length O

Complete Outfit to Wanser
Farmer.

Urbaniak Brothers. prosperous and

Lundgren. Wittensten & Co., Of
this citv. complete Emerson steam
plow outfit. The piow alone. or
rather series of eight blows, cuts in
the aggregate eleven feet in width,
and is SO arranged that one or more
plows may be raised by the operator
as desired when used on heavy or
light soils. With this Dlow Is to 30
acres can be easily turned over in a
single day. Yesterday the plow was
set up and started at 2:30 in the
afternoon. and before night ten acres
had been plowed. The plow and at
tachments. outside the traction
enigne. costs only $3.50.
Now that the horseless steam plow
has been successfully introduced in
Red River valley farming. there Is
but question of few years until
the gasoline engine will be perfected
sufficiently to take the place of the
steam engine and then horseless
plows. seeders and binders will be as
