WALKERS WEEKLY
COPPER LETTER.

Copper continues dull and weak.
Lake is Is to 10 cents and electricity
tic is IL IL to Is cents a pound.
Prices are being offered down on the
London metal exchange by people
who have little or no copper to
sell and who must soon make large
purchases. Even now the number
of enquiries for copper from foreign
consumers is increasing. Notwith-
standing this very apparent rigging
OF the market in favor of the buyers,
1T has caused some selling pressure
to develop here during the past week.
Producers as a rule, however, have
every confidence in the future of the
metal market and they are disposed
ito sit tight" and await the inevitable
resumption of buying by consumers.
AS result of having bought too
heavily in June and of having failed
to get their plants changed over and
i'll shape to turn out the immense
2is,n1e of cartridge, projectile rings,
fu.1es, ETC., for which they have or
:, rs, most consumers are well sup
Fl ed with copper and in a. position to
k. ep out of the market a few weeks
longer. Reports from the Lake Su-
pc or district and from the refining
ccT .ers state that a small surplus of
copper is beginning to accumulate.
: condition appears to have de-
velCDed that may prevent any appre-
ciabia advance in the price of copper
until late in the year. Briefly, the.
increase of production to full volume,
mas bsen reached already, while the,
manu- lcturing capacity required to
CONVEX all this copper into munitions
of war probably will not be completed
and III operation before October or
November. 1t is quite possible, there
fore, that there may be tendency
Tor copper to accumulate in the
hands of the producers during the
coming month or two.
A trade authority estimates that
this country's production and imports
are row running at the rate of $780,
0a0, 900 to 155,00O,00 pounds monthly
and that domestic manufacturers, al
though they are operating their
plants night and day, are unable to
handle more than 9e,00O, 900 to 95,-
0ao 600 pounds a month This leaves
a surplus of about $4,000, 900 pounds,
of which only $4,000. 600 to 1000, 900
poands is being exported monthly in
TIE raw state.
While the demand for ammunition
is much more t5an large enough to
absorb all the copper the mines can
produce, there is not sufficient am
making capacity at present
to supply that demand Capacity is
being created al tremendous rate,
hut it is slow I<rocessI. New ma
chinery has to be built and adjusted
and then for a time operated by in
experienced men The workers who
are making ammunition in this coun-
try have never, with few exceptions,
done similar work previously. Until
they have had time to learn they will
turn out relatively small product
ard much of this will be imperfect.
Eoth the allies and the copper pro-
ducens must wait for the new am
munition works and the new work
men to strike their gait.

STREET SIGNS ON GLOBES

~ITY COMMISSIONERS w. II.
LYNCH, who by virtue of his
~ position is superintendent of
streets and public improvements,
has come forward with a very prac-
teal idea with respect to utilizing the
street lamps as guideposts. He pro-
poses to have the street name painted
in neat letters on the globes of the
light standards at every corner where
the new style of ornamental lighting is
used.
The plan is not an innovation, in
that it has been adopted by Wash
ington, Philadelphia and other large
cities but 1t is admirable nevertheless.
Every up-to-date city ought to have
it's streets distinctly marked in a man
ner as legible by night as by day, and
this is particularly true of Harris
burg because of the fact that, being
the capital city and a central point
of transportation. it has constantly
within it's gates more than an ordi-
narily large number of strangers un-
familiar with its thoroughfares.

GOOD NEWS

THE good news leaks out of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Offices
\ that many furloughed employees
are to be put back to work in a
short time. The force is now larger
than it has been within the past year
and it is gratifying to note that pros
poets arc constantly Frightening.
This condition reflects the trade i'm
provement shown in the steel industry
during the present week. The Iron
Age, publication not given to undue
optimism, says that as a whole the re-
ports from steel works throughout the
country give rather a better account
of future trade than current sales, but
that even in present activities the sit
uation is distinctly better than it was a
few weeks ago. Railroads are placing
heavy rail orders for spring delivery,
England is buying iron products, or
ders are coming in from Chile and a
great many inquiries are being made
for structural steel. These are all
good signs and are straws in the wind
pointing toward that period of pros
perity which industrial observers agree
is in the immediate future.

PICTURE CENSORSHIP

II is generally understood that the
Motion Picture Exhibitors League
of Pennsylvania will endeavor to
have the Pennsylvania legislators
repeal the State censorship law. 1t is
to be hoped that the Legislature will
do nothing of the sort.
j. w. Binder, president of the Ma
tional Board of Censors, in his address
to the exhibitors in session here this
week, declared that the motion picture
industry is the greatest amusement
enterprise in the world and that it
ranks fifth among the worlds indus
tries. He said that motion pictures
exert q tremendous religious, political
and educational force and therefore
must be restrained and directed. In
this everybody will agree. But when
Mr.. Binder says that the best censor
ship comes not from a government
constituted board. but from the
10000 900 people who daily attend the
motion picture shows, he opens a sub
ject for discussion.
1t is doubtless true, as Mr.. Binder
says, that the Pennsylvania censorship
has not worked out very satisfactorily
to the motion picture makers and ex-
hibitors of the State. There is unques-
tionably room for improvement in this
respect. The censorship law was
framed and passed without very much
consideration of the problems and
| extent of the moving picture business.
Doubtless what it needs is amendment
and modification, but the moving pic
ture people will have to bring forward
better arguments than they have as
yet presented to the public if they de-
sire to persuade thinking people that
State censorship is unwarranted.
This we know to be true-that the
quality of moving picture shows has
distinctly improved in Harrisburg
since the State censor began his work.
Previously this city was flooded with
a class of pictures that would not have
been tolerated a few years ago by the
most reckless of low burlesque show
managers. They were immoral, de-
| grading and distasteful to many pa
irons, but they packed the houses OF
those who showed them with the NOR
| bid and the depraved. Since the CEN
sorship has been established these films
! have been replaced by cleaner, better
! exhibitions and the whole tone of the
moving picture business here has been
| raised.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO

~ RESIDENT WILSON is to be
heartily commended for his veto
= of the immigration bill, and If
Congress is wise it will not seri-
ously consider the passage of this un-
popular measure over the signature of
the Executive.
The President disapproved of the
much discussed literacy feature of the
measure as we'll as some of the other
too restrictive tests which it imposed
as a condition of the admission of
immigrants to the United States. In
this he has the support of everybody
who believes in the fundamentals of
the governmental idea upon which this
nation was founded, namely, that all
men are created equal, and that the
United States should be forever the
haven of the down-trodden and free
dom-seeldng man or woman.
1t is to be regretted that Congress
insisted upon including these tests in
the measure. In many respects the
bill is well conceived and desirable, as
the President says, and its enactment
into law shorn of it's Objectionable
features would unquestionably increase
the efficiency and improve the methods
of handling the great immigration
problem.

IETTERST0THE:ED!T0R


To the Editor of he Telegraph:
Young men of the present day may
not think that frequenting pool rooms.
cigar stores and drinking places of
evenings operates against their ad-
vancement to more responsible posi-
tions. In this they are sadly mistaken.
An instance quite Illuminating along
this line is reported by Harrisburg
gentleman identified with a large cor
poration. who vouches for the absolute
truth of the story. A certain young
clerk in local grocery store, who per-
formed his duties with attention to
every detail, secured a better position
with the aid of his employer.
While working in the grocery store
he came in contact with this Harris
burg gentleman, who was much inter-
ested III his close application to his
duties. Later there was an opening as
credit man in a large wholesale house,
and this gentleman Immediately
thought of the young grocery clerk.
The position called for close applica-
tion to duty. a clear brain, regularity
of habits. and absolute honesty. To
thoroughly assure himself that he was
right In his conclusion as to the capa-
bility of the young man in question,
this gentleman determined to do a lit
tie detective work on his own account.
He followed the young man about
town four nights in succession, and had

THE TREASURY DEFICIENCY

IHE expected has happened. The
national administration is facing
a deficiency in the Treasury.
Despite the fact that Secretary
Redfield has but a few days ago glee-
fully announced that our trade bal
ance with foreign countries is again
taking on tremendous proportions,
that the Democratic Congress has en-
acted a burdensome income tax law
and has saddled upon the country an
obnoxious stamp tax, present esti-
mates for expenditures exceed the es-
timated revenues of the government
Tor the present year by the stagger-
ing sum of $50, 100000.
In other words, with exports and
imports increasing over those of the
past year, with millions being realized
from income tax and the special war
tax, the Democratic administration
iinds itself $50. 100000 in the hole.
The Republican Congressman at
Washington have repeatedly warned
the majority party of the danger of
just this very condition. They have
demanded retrenchment instead of ex-
travagance. The reply has always
been that the Democrats knew where
OF they planned and that their budgets
were formulated with full knowledge
of Treasury conditions and prospects.
Heretofore Secretary Bryan and his
fellow optimist, Mr.. Redfield, have
shouted from the housetops the pros
perity of the American people and the
gratifying state of the public treasury.
Now they are called upon to face the
facts. Dodging is no longer possible.

ARACIlSALL1 everyone COHHSSb-
ed with the State government,
i and the legislators, too, for that
matter. will be found in sympa-
thy with Governor Brumbaugh's eX-
pressed desire to have all of the posi-
tions paid from the State Treasury es-
tahlished by statute, the duties and
the emoluments so defined. This is a
subject brought to the front in the re-
port of the State Economy and Eff
cheney Commission and referred to by
the Governor who has just retired from
Office as we'll as carefully studied by
the present Governor. 1t is also n
matter that every fiscal official and
most heads of departments have view
ed with concern each year, as the
number of persons whose places were
brought forth through appropriations
or sinking funds has increased. 1t has
led to some practices which every off,
cial on Capitol Hill would be only too
glad to get rid of.
AS to the people on the pay rolls,
they would be happy, indeed, If their
places, duties and salaries could be
would be sure of their jobs, provided
they were reappointed. One of the acts
of the Tener administration which
pointed the way was the creation of
the force of the Department of Public
Grounds and Buildings, fixing each
place and abolishing practices which
had grown up with the passing years.
The same principle should be applied
to the whole State government and if
DIR. Brumbaugh can get the time to
work out the details in connection
with the great propositions on which
he is engaged it will be done. At least
a start can be made.
However, it should be borne in mind
that such a readjustment of Offices and
pay is a subject of tremendous size
and every head of a department should
be entitled to present his ideas.

greatness of Pennsylvania merits. It
will not do to permit States of far
lesser importance, both as to wealth
and population, to outdo us in helping
to celebrate the completion of the

What We Say 1t Is IT Is
Why Yeu Should
Buy Diamonds Now

The situation i'll the Diamond
industry is without precedent.
The war has stopped mining.
1t is impossible to manufacture
or secure new stones for the
market, but the demand for
Diamonds keeps up.
Cutters have advanced prices
several times since the war be-
gan. Fortunately we were
heavily stocked with both
mounted and loose stones and
as yet have not had to increase
our prices. We offer you un-
usual values and make it easy
for you to purchase Diamonds.
Come in and let us explain.
AS the Diamond supply is
absolutely controlled by one
group of men who are losing
money every day the mines are
closed, prices will continue to
advance even after peace
comes. The wise time to buy
is now - and your Diamond
money buys more at Diener's.
