THE COPPER MARKET.

ihe past week witnessed some excellent
safes or copper on an advancing price
scale ON Monday the price was raised
from IAN to 14ia cents. while at mid.
week another Jump was effected to 40,
cents pound. The heavy sales were
made at the l4'l cent basis. chiefly foi.
export, Domestic consumers bought some
copper. but not in proportion to tn. pur.
chases made by their foreign competitors
by the producers this was regarded in an
optimistic light as they believed that fur
ther bushes must now be done for home
account.
Germany appeared to he the hc,vies,
nuyer OF copper. although France and
England We're also In the market for
additional tonnages There was some in.
curry from abroad as far ahead as June
nut they were not considered seriously bv
inc producers. who did not care to com
init Themselves beyond the end Of. March
one OF the favorable trade developments
was the estimate that in its electrifcation
plans through tn the Pacific coast the ST
faul Railroad would consume about 1tO.-
100000 pounds OF copper for wire alone
other large tonnages would also DO needed
1t was stated. which might increase the
total well ON TO tho 150, O0O. 900 pound
mark.
sales of copper were heavy during the
week. running close To 20. 600. 600 pounds
according to estimates made for THE SIN
or this amount about 10000. 900 pounds
were booked on Thursday alone.
Tho RIO Ttnto mine was again In the
throes Of a strike. as cables reported that
the entire property had been forced to sus-
pend operations. Although the Lake STU
perior strike was not officially declared Off
there were further signs ~ improving con-
dtlons there. accompanied by some in
crease In production at the various prop
critics.
That consumption OF the metal abroad is
proportionately better than In this country
appears evident from continued large eN-
ports with no growth In their warehouse
stocks. Exports in 1914 TO date have been
heavy totaling "a .000. 900 pounds through
the port Of New York alone. Baltimore
shipments have also been heavy, repre-
serting exports from the American smelt-
ing refinery Mt that point.

of copper from New York since January

what the Long Ballot Doe,

Remembering that each voter exercising his
full right Of suffrage was called upon to make
hfty-eight cross marks at our recent primary,
the final footings of the official count in Doug
las county present some interesting sidelights
on what the long ballot will do
For the republican nomination for lieuten-
ant governor $50 votes are recorded for A. J..
Van Alstine-one in twenty Of the total vote
certainly cast in utter ignorance or indffer-
ence. because no one who knew him could
have voted wilfully for him.
For the republican nomination for county
surveyor the vote stands 6,55S for Adams as
against 3,511 for Black Mr.. Black endeav-
ored TO withdraw his candidacy, but his with
drawal was refused by the election commits
sioner as coming too late, so his name re-
mained on the printed ballot despite his public
announcement that he was out Of the race and
supporting Mr.. Adams Yet one out OF
three who marked their ballots for this office
voted for man who was not a candidate.
For the republican nomination for commits
sioner OF the water district 623 votes are re-
corded for A. c. Arend, who had likewise done
all he could to advise everybody that he had
reconsidered his candidacy and was no longer
standing for the nomination. Despite this fact
one out OF fifteen republicans voting for water
commissioner marked their ballots for a candl-
date who had asked them not to vote for him.
For the democratic nomination for county
commissioner in the Second commissioner dis
trict out Of l.245 votes 1873 are recorded for
Frank J. Fixa, who, unfortunately had died
previous to the primary and could not have
qualified even II unanimously elected A COM
missioner district is comparatively small area,
in which the knowledge Of Mr.. Fixas death
was Of general neighborhood information, yet
one out of seven democrats In that district

voted for a who was dead and buried
II must be obvious that nothing but short
ballot will give us intelligent voting and eff
fectve popular government.

Free Legal Aid.


Conservative old st. Louis is about to es-
tablish free municipal legal aid bureau, au-
thorized, though not required. by It's new char
ter. While the plan is still in its experimental
stage It is not wholly new, and will soon, we
hope commend itself to every wide-awake
American city.
Like other sensible reforms. this one has its
critics, and, as might be expected, some Of them
are lawyers who profess to find in II simply
an announcement to pauperism. True, mis-
placed charity often has such an effect, but
where a city maintains public legal adviser
for the benefit OF all taxpayers alike, there il
no classifying II as a charity. Naturally, It will
accommodate poor men and not rich men. for
the latter will prefer to employ their own law
yers But instead Of encouraging pauperism. a
free legal aid bureau, properly conducted,
would tend to prevent It by protecting the poor
from oppression.
The very conception OF a free legal aid bu-
reau is visualized protest against the abuses
OF contlngont-fee law practice. both at the ex-
pense OF the poor litigant and OF justice itself.
These abuses call for correction and II the lime
light of publicity. together with free legal aid
bureaus will not overcome them. then we must
go further and find the additional remedy that
will.

Throurh ths Panama GATEWAY.

Paralysis of sea transportation as a result
OF the war, shutting off tie Importation Of
necessities. has, according to reports precpi-
tated conditions worse than anything known
in many years" along the west coast OF South
America. Food and other supplies heretofore
obtained from the warning countries are want
ing. with stagnation to business as far down as
southern chile
Such conditions must rebuke Americans for
their past indifference or failure properly to
cultivate the rich commercial markets of South
America, Business is business and Europe has
been getting the bulk OF this west coast trade,
not because Of greater proximity so much as
that they have gone after It. They have made
friends and therefore customers Of these people
and given them better bargains than we cared
to offer.
But with the Panama canal in operation
several direct connections may be developed be-
tween American ports and this west coast
country. And as business is BUSINESS and
American commerce and industry have their
eyes open at last, they not apt to allow their
European competitors to monopoliEe this field
again.

War and Politics.

What will be the effect of the European
war upon politics in the United States is an
other question which is being quite generally
propounded. Even ardent democrats will now
admit that six weeks ago all portents headed
for a republican landslide in November to reg
lister the general dissatisfaction with democratic
policies. II this outlook has been changed. the
change is due solely 20 the Intervention OF the
war conflict We quote opinion from the
current Review OF Reviews;
The International crisis has probably strengthened
the democratic position In the elections this fall
Many people who meant 90 vote adversely to the
administration may feel that Il win be better 20
strengthen the presidents hands. nor the time be-
ing the larger public has forgotten all about APP
preaching elections. although the politicians have
been busy usual
Premature predictions in the field OF poll
tics are always rash. The only certain thing is
that predictions made the basis OF public
sentiment before the outbreak OF the war will
have TO be revised.
