The manner In which the copper pro-
ducers of the United States have been
able to cope with the tremendous demand
for the metal, which was based on its use
In ammunition, constitutes a striking epi-
sode in an industry that is subject, per-
haps. to even sharper reversals of fortune
than the steel trade. Production of the
smelters last year, according to the Geo.
logical Survey, was 1855, 100000 pounds
against f,l50, 100000 In 1914, output in
the latter half OF that year being delib-
erately curtailed 80 per cent on account
Of the outbreak Of the war
Copper, however, as II comes from the
smelter Is unfit for use. 1t must first be
refined, and the increase OF refining ca
pacity cannot be pushed so fast as that
of smelling. At the beginning of the year,
according TO the Engineering and Mining
Journal, electrolytic refining capacity in
this country was ST million pounds per
annum. In addition, some 24O million
pounds is refined otherwise than electro
lytically, or used unrefined, making a to-
tai possible output for consumption Of
2,1l7 million pounds. In the first half
Of this year refinery production is esti-
mated at a billion pounds Increases in

Chairman Mccormick has been
amusing himself by computing
results of the election predicated
upon an assumption that given
Lercentage of the Progressive
vote of 1912 will be cast for Will
son. We suggest that there are
certain available data along this
line which obviate the necessity
for making any assumption at all.
For instance, there is the base
line figure of the Progressive vote
four years ago-Which is 4,119,-
507. Then there is the total vote
cast in 1914 for Progressive can
didates for Congress-which was
1,06l, 624. Also to be considered
is the Republican vote which
Was 3,484, 956 in 1912 and which
increased to 5,635,O1 in 1914.
At the same time the Democratic
vote must not be overlooked.
That vote in 1912 waste, 293, O19,
whereas in 1914 it fell to $685.
1856. Add to these fgules the
further fact that in 1914 the Pro-
gressive party had an organized
existence in every contested state.
that it's candidates and advocates
were aggresSively in opposition
to Republicans almost every
where, that its resources were
unimpaired from a financial point
of view and that its strongest
leaders were unsparing in their
efforts to maintain the partv
strength and to prevent the re-
turn of their voters to the Re
publican ranks. Here are all the
factors for a computation worth
while. What can Mr.. McCor-
mick make of the problem?

The defeat of administration
candidates in the Democratic pri-
maries in Texas cannot possibly
be interpreted into meaning the
loss of the electoral vote of Texas
to Wilson-but it is highly symp-
tomato OF the state of mind in
that portion of the country where
the administrations Mexican pol
icy is best seen and appreciated.
And what Texas thinks about it
may be found in every other
state in some degree. There is
no doubt that the Mexican ques-
tion will loom large in this cam
paign. 1t is the biggest and the
most acute of the problems which
infest our foreign relations; and
out of it have grown all the com
plications of our intercourse with
European nations since the war
began. If Wilson had displayed
a firm determination to deal eff
fectively with Mexico, he would
have had a background for his
notes and notifications to Ger
many and England. But when
ever Westminster and Wilhelm
strasse received a near. .ultimatum
from Washington they were able
easily to recall the fiasco of Vera
Cruz and if they dealt less brus-
quely with our communications
than Huerta did it was only be-
cause they were better educated
than that sturdy old Indian was.
At Indianapolis, in January, 1915,
Mr. Wilson undertook to treat
the Mexican problem with levity.
He spoke of himself as sitting
back and laughing about it. Since
then he has shed crockodile tears
over the bodies of men of the ma
Wy who were killed at Vera Cruz
and he has absented himself from
of officers and men who
met a treacherous death at Car ]
rial. Just now his mood must
be anything but humorous as he
traces the path of our bitter hu-
initiation since he first took on
his crouch against Huerta.
