MRS. WITTPENN GIVES
REASONS FOR SUFFRAGE.

Hoboken.-Mrs. Otto Wittpenn, for
meriy Caroline B. Stevens, whose fam
lily founded the famous Stevens Tech
nical institute at Hoboken is taking
strong stand for woman suffrage and
has Joined the Committee of One Hun
dred for Woman Suffrage, of which
Mrs. Everett Colby is chairman.
Mrs. Wittpenn, who has been known
fof a longer time as Mrs. Alexander of
Castle Point, Hoboken, has played a
leading part in carrying a number OF
reform measures in the state.
At the present time she holds office
as a county probation officer of Hud-
son county, Of which her brother, Rich
ard Stevens, is chief probation officer,
and also as president of the New Jer-
sey state board of chIldren's guardians
and president of Wanaque Womens
reformatory. When asked recently
what considerations had led her to be-
come an advocate of woman suffrage
she said:
"A sense Of Justice and common
sense At the same time experience
has strengthened my convictions. The
history of some legislative proposals III
New Jersey led me to see that in mat
ters of vital importance to the health
and moral conditions of the community
there are two points of view, mems
and women's For instance, when we
made great efforts to raise the age of
consent in New Jersey from sixteen to
eighteen we found ourselves up against
stone wall. The senate, composed OF
men, could see only the possibilities OF
blackmaiI, while the women considered
only the need of further protection for
our girls between the ages Of sixteen
and eighteen. The best results In this,
as In other cases, would have been OBJ
tanned by educating and reconcillng
the two points of view. In this case
the mans point Of view prevailed, since
they alone have the power TO elect the
representatives"
Mrs. Wittpenn added:
amy effort to belittle the amount OF
real progress made in the state OF New
Jersey in recent years would be unfair
and misleading. The best men OF all
parties are on our side. l have very
good hope that to New Jersey Will be
long the proud distinction of being the
first state of the east to give women
equal voice in the government"

THE METAL MARKET.

Copper is decidedly stronger and the
to have further advance. Lake is 20
Ito % cents and electrolytic Is 10 to
10 la cents a pound. Consumers who
have been holding aloof from the
market for about 30 days past, wait
ing for the price to decline are again
bidding for supplies. The new de-
imand is coming from both domestic
users and from abroad and, as for
some time past, the larger number Of
the purchasers are engaged in =. the
manufacture of ammunition and
other war supplies.
The amount of copper now coming
from the refneries is somewhat larger
than it was two or three months ago
and the volume will continue to grow
until August or September This ad
dition to the output, due to the resump
ton of full volume production by the
many mines which were operating at
only so per cent capacity six months
ago, apparently will be absorbed by
metal for war uses.
Just at present the stocks of copper
in hand are dangerously small. The
producers have sold SO heavily for
delivery as far ahead as September
and October as to make it altogether
improbable that they would offer the
price of the metal down, even though
they should find that there was a
tendency for surplus to accumulate.
All sellers of commodities feel that
they are required to carry stocks from
which to supply any immediate de-
mad that may come to them and the
rush of buying during the past several
months has put most of the producing
companies in a position where they
are unable to do this.
1t is so unusual for the copper pro
ducing interests TO depend largely up
on war munition manufacturers for
their market that it is exceedingly
difficult to estimate intelligently the
volume of immediate future consump-
ton There is every indication, how
ever, that the warning nations of Eu-
rope will go on placing orders for
ammunition as rapidly as manufac-
turing capacity can be found to turn
them out and that heavy demand
also is coming from the United States
government. If this view is correct
the consumption of copper will con-
tinue to increase and the price may
advance to 25 cents Or higher

NEW NAME SUGGESTED.

Arizona should be named the
.''Merry-go-round" State. We pass
laws that are no good, pardon, parole,
commute, initiate referendum and
talk about recall Pass more laws
that we don't have to abide by, snake
hands with ourselves and continue the
march With our tail in our mouth
round and round goes the people won
dering when some son-of-a-gun will
come along and stop US. Justice is
not only blind, but has bad hearing,
rheumatism in both legs, an ingrow-
ing smeller and one arm in sling.
But gee, what fun US people are hav-
ing with ourselves. The one great
saving clause is that if we don't
know what the law is, no one else does
so on with the dance.-Coconfno Sun.

COCH|SE COUNTY
PROTESTS AGAINST
EXTRAVAGANCE

| DOUGLAS, Ariz. June 1.-The
business men and taxpayers of Doug
las as represented by the chamber
of commerce and mines and the
Business Mems association, have
made vigorous protest against the
proposed prolonging of the second
special session of the legislature for
another 60 days. The protesting res
olutions truthfully point out that
aside from some legislation regard
| ing our public land policy, there is
no necessity for spending $4,000 in
meeting the expense of a continuance
of the session for another 60 days.
| If other cities in the state would
make a similar protest this action
might bring the members of the leg
islature to a realization of the tenn
per of the public mind.
Bisbee Takes Action.
Bisbee business men and taxpayers
were also aroused because of the
house proposition to prolong the Sec
ond special session of the legislature
for another so days at a cost of $45,-
00O This aroused sentiment resulted
in the following message being sent
to Governor Hunt:
Hon. Geo. w. r. Hunt, governor
of Arizona, Phoenix. Ariz.-The d.
rectors of the Warren District Com
mercial club unanimously present
their vehement protest against the
unwanted and unwarranted fextrava-
gance OF further 60 days session
OF the legislature. following 80 days
OF wasted energy and public funds.
A canvass of the business men OF
the district shows chose seen to be
without exception bitterly opposed
to the waste Of the taxpayers money
by the legislature.
WARREN DIST. COM. CLUB,
j. H. GRAY, Secretary.
The Warren district, from every
stands united in its de-
sire for competent and efficient leg
islators and legislation. Many of the
business men, taxpayers and voters
seen yesterday were very expressive
in their views. Some spoke in terms
which would bar it's publication from
the United States mails. They spoke
and not from any partisan
standpoint. All joined in the general !,
demand that the representatives of
the people. now in Phoenix. wind up
their, business, and let the state have
. rest.
