ORAToRY AND APPLEJACK.
story Made Popular by Gen. Joseph
Is. Hudson

From the Kansas City Journal
Here is a story that Gen, Joseph X.
Hudson used TO love to tell on the plat
form. back in the days when Populism
was dying out and the leaders of that
faith were, eliminating and disearding,
one by one, their pet theories. The Pops
had thrown overheard vagary after va
gary. until they had left only the gov
eminent ownership of railroads, or some
thing like that.
1T puts me in mind.'' the general
would say, ~Of a fellow who was good
at making public speeches and who al
ways took a drink of applejack before
going on the speakers stand. One
Fourth of July he had been engaged 10
make a speech. He took the usual drink
of appletack. Then he met a friend and
took several more. When the time came
for him TO begin his speech he was pref
" mellow.
'Feller citizens he said. I am proud
to be citizen of this grand and glor-
ious country. AS 1 gaze upon the old
American eagle. standing with one foot
upon the crest of the Alleghanies his
tail dipping into the crystal waters OF
the Gulf of Mexico, I repeat, a feeling
of pride thrills me. He rises His wins $
are Mapping grandly The crystal wa
tiers are dripping from his feathers. he
scars upward. See him as he floats
loftily up among the clouds, passes on
among the stars and becomes like a
speck IN the eternal blue of the ethe-
real dome, See him, See him! See
er-er-there. d-n it. I've lost my birdl'
THAT is the way with the Poplnsts,
gentlemen" was General Hudson's com
ment. They have lost their bird.
They have been completely stripped OF
their issues"
The man who repeated the story dared
assert that possibly the present day ad-
voeates Of some of those old Pop theo-
ries win some day be in a position TO
appreciate the full force and point OF
this story.

COPPER SURPLUS is
OF SMALL PROPORTIONS

The conviction is becoming more pro-
nounced both east and west that there
has been far more noise and confusion
over the copper surplus than was justiiied
by the facts. The worlds surplus OF the
metal. or so much OF X as is inmcdi-
atcly available for consumption. does not
exceed two months production, so as q
surplus II is by no means OF proportions
for such a fuss and feathers being raised
about 1t.
1; Is agreed that the gist of the situa-
Bo:. is the general industrial conditions.
and should they continue 10 decline as
they have during the past few months
the weight of the slump VIII necessarily
carry copper and everything else along
with 1t whether there are one, two or
several months surplus available. A cop
per curtailment then may be necessary
by reason OF adverse industrial condi-
tions, but not by the weight OF the sur
plus alone.
This only proves that the world has
blown into the wrong hole. Two or three
months ago the surplus grew in imagl-
nation until there was enough copper
available for indefinite consumption.

REPORT FROM OPEX
DUE STOCKHOLDERS
Secretiye Policy of Company Not
Popular With Those En-
titled to Know.

Opex was the feature Monday on the
local exchange, the report being persis-
tent that the management has encoun-
tered a face of ore on or near the BOO
foot level SO far. it has been impossible
to secure a very comprehensive state
mcnt from any one connected With the
Opex company regarding physical condi-
tions. and in view of the existing uncer-
tainty, the desire of stockholders to
know the truth stockholders whose Vexa-
ton at the lack of news is giving rise
to various reports not entirely compli-
mentary to the organization, It would ap-
pear fair 10 both stockholder and man
aGement alike that some authoritative
Information be given out without delay.
With his characteristic Irankncss,
Jesse Knight Is reported to have stated
Monday that he knew nothing OF ore
having been struck In the property. and
this comes out day after one close TO
the organization asserted to local friends
that there did really exist q full face OF
ore in OF near the 800 level This un.
certainty makes the stock the football
for the local market; and the patience
of stockholders is sorely tried, 1t Is due
them that they receive the facts. The
attempt to cover the strike OF ore In
the Sioux Consolidated two years ago
made the public suspicious OF that issue
for months, The Opex is far too popular
an issue TO suffer from similar treat
ment.

Better Relations Between the
Producers of Red Metal Is
Desirable.
SAME PLAN NEEDED
AS STEEL UTILIZES
Steel People, While Competi-
tors, Always Wave as
They Pass BY.

One probable outcome OF the existing
copper situation, as forecasted by the Wall
Street Journal Will be a closer feeling OF
amity between the producers. something
now apparently lacking in the situation,
although the cut-throat policy now being
followed exists moro In the minds OF the
people than between the two contending
parties in the industry. A comparison
between the relations existing In the steel
ranks and in the red metal columns
makes food for interesting speculation.
nevertheless.
The large producers of steel agreed
long ago 10 maintain neighhorly relations.
TO speak as they passed by, This agree
ment has been carried out to such an eX-
tent that although the consumption OF
steel has dropped fully 20 per cent during
of the finished product receding fully $2,25
per ton. there has been nothing bordering
on panic or even hard times in the steel
industry. Competing steel interests have
mutually and without noise reduced their
output to meet the changing conditions.
no more steel than the consumption VIII
stand Is being produced, nor have any
of the producers u surplus of the finished
product on hand,
There never was greater amount OF
copper consumed than during the pres
ent. and note the difference, The cop
per producers are popularly supposed to
he far apart on every proposition con-
nected with the industry. Tho old time
companies which really are responsible
for the surplus after all, keep throwing
faces at the porphyries for their big out
put and the porphyrles assert that they
seek no quarrel. they simply want to
continue in their own path undisturbed
and regardless OF everyone except their
own stockholders and conpaniy interests.
The man who so successfully engineered
this happy relation between the steel
producers would appear to be the diplo-
mat needed TO bring about like conditions
In copper circles.
