THE KENNEcoTT- -BRADEN DEAL.

One of the most curious transactions in copper corpora tion affairs is that which announced last week, whereby the Kennecott Copper Company, operating mines in the Copper region of Alaska is to take the Braden company operating mines in Che and furthermore, toI acquire (about 400OO0 shares of the Guggenhem Eypoaton Company the Utah Copper Company No req based economy in operation of these farpart mines advanced has the public been appraised of explanation of what it is hoped to accomplish
 Kennecot Braden and Guggenhem Exploration arel concerns which the Guggenheims largely interested The Guggenhem Exploration Company, which is essentially holding company has been advertised in the squbs in the Wall Street journals about to be dissolved The Braden company been borrowing several millions of the cash sets of the Guggenheim Exploration. The Kennecot com pany which represents huge investment in Alaska by thel houses of Morgan and Guggnhem offered to the pubc for investment several months ago.

TWO ENEMIES OF EXCESS

n HE habit of drinking in sa-
" looms has greatly de-
creased, declares the San
Francisco Examiner. Nobody
knows that better than do the
saloon keepers, who are find
ing the business hard to keep
going.
We think two factors have
chiefly operated to decrease
drinking.
One is the automobile.
The other is the moving pic
ture.
Men who drive automobiles
have learned that drinking
and driving make a bad combi-
nation.
This decreases the patronage
of the gilded saloons.
Men who used not to know
how to spend the hours when
they were not at work now go
to the movies instead of to the
beer saloons for entertainment.
This decreases the patron
age of the poor mems club. F"
We think the automobile and
the moving pictures have done
much more to promote sobriety
than all the temperance socie-
ties and lecturers.
This is another example of
the powerful moral and social
influence exerted by invention
and science-an influence
which is so strangely overlook
ed by most of the theorists and
refOrmerS.

maintain an army of 10000,
while for S65,00O,0O0 Switzer-
land has had for ten years a

our military bills for army,

great war began they were
nearly s487,000,000 a year, not

more than any other nation on

UNITED STATES NEED
ONLY NAVAL PROGRAM
Secretary Daniels Declares It the Main
Idea in Adopting the Building Policy.
Adequate Defense for the Country.

lis the only matter which entered into
the consideration.
The fact that some countries need q
larger navy than the United states u
explained by the fact that their terri
tories are scattered all over the globe,
and many ships are necessary to give
proper protection to all the territory
involved.
Adequate Navy in 1924.
There has been no disposition to
plunge the country into a big debt to
start naval building program which
would give the United States navy
larger in size than the navies OF other
countries. Size Of the other navies,
then, could not be taken into considera-
ton at the time the new naval pro-
gram was being outlined.
The need Of the country for navy
and the proper amount Of ships and
units to build to supply this need and
give 1t adequate protection from all
sources were the matters given con-
sideration when the dve-year program
was in the course Of formation.
The people need not worry. 1t was
pointed out. that because the United
States has not q navy as large, for In.
stance. as that of England. there is
danger. for England has many more
possessions to look after than the
United States. For In 1924 there will be
a navy ADEQUATE enough to take care OF

fire. in the opinion Of the officials

SAN FRANCISCO. October 2s.-Whar

eral election was still a subject OF
speculation today. Some politicians
were Of the opinion that 1t would be
necessary to call special session OF
the legislature.
The measures rejected by the elector-
ate on referendum repealed the old pri-
mary law and provided a method by
which voters could cast their ballots as
party members in choosing candidates
for federal Office Opponents of these
bills, however. did not invoke the refer
endum against third measure passed
by the last legislature, wiping out all

When the naval building program Of
the United States, as recently outlined
by Secretary Daniels, is carried out,
the United States will have a navy
capable Of protecting the country from
any foe, in the opinion OF the Secretary
and naval officers. 1t does not matter,
the Secretary said today. whether the
new navy, when completed, happens to
be second in size to that OF England or
Of any other country. The main idea,
In adopting the policy as outlined for
"a building program, was to get navy
that will be sufficient for the needs of
the United States.
If Congress sees At to provide for the
building program. the new navy. Score
tary Daniels said, will be the equal or
better, ship for ship, than that OF any
other navy afloat, and. probably for the
amount Of territory to be protected, In
comparison, the new navy will be
larger than that OF other countries.
Other Countries Disregarded.
