Seattle Time0
 When a whole world goes mad with the lust for de structon of the first things that t insistenty do mands is copper It needs copper to manufacture the tools with which the work of destruction is to be car ried out thoroughly aud expeditiously
 That Is one of the reasons why. in 1915, She pro. ducton of this mineral n Alaska jumped from approxi mately $S,000000 to ap proxmately S12o0000o That Is why the output this year win be approximately $25 100000
 That is why the owners Of properties in the North land are sraining every effort to increase the amount of turned out, why enormous sums Of money are being expended in Seattle for supplies and equipment of various kinds and why thousands of additional work CTS will be employed throughout 1916 to the enrich ment ol business men in this city
 No page in territorial history is full of TO- nance than that recently penned by copper. Back ot t an s the greatest tragedy the world has known the present world war. The catastrophe that has than any other incident in modern times also has been responsible for the tremendous growth of this indus try. Europes necessity has been Alaskas opportunity and as usual Alaskas gain has been Seattle's profit
 As long as the struggle abroad lasts so long wil the phenomenal demand this metal continue How, ever. the demand will not end with the signing Of peace treaty The Centrol Powers at least, will then be in the market for on enormous amount They VIII have exhausted their supplies in large part at least H win become necessary for them to obtain new stocks to be employed industry. The prospect for Che pro- ducers of Alaska is eminenty satisfactory in every way and indicates heavy business for several years to come
 Inevitably Seattle win be the gainer to an encr nous extent by this activity proiited to the extent of hundreds of thousands Of dollars during 1915 t VIII benefit even more in 1916. While only one of num- Der of influences promoting an abounding local pros sdly will take rank among tho leading contributing causes to that desirable condition.

cELERRArMa VII THE IRIsH.

Again today are Americans called upon Co devote
 day to honcrng the Irish. and they win do 1t with spirit and relish. And why not2 The Irish race has given many days - the honor and glory Of America There are approximately 100000 of Irish birth in this eountry-nearly onehlrd as many there are in Ire land-and # one includes those Americans of Irish descent the Irish population of America is much larger than the population Of the land which gave st. Patrick fame. No race has done more than this for America
 No other race has given the greater portion of its mum bers Co the United States and has given as Ameri cans who are more loyal to our flag and institutions It Is not wonder tha the Americans Of English Scotch Irish and other origins gave the sons of Erin hearty welcome 60 our shores and repaid them for their oy, aity and patriotic service with honors in all walks Of ufe
 On the other hand the broad and free institu lions of America have done wonders for the Irish The best that Is in the race has found expression in this country Irish born and American born of Irish descent are represented in an branches of American life They are in both houses Of Congress; in the executive depart nents on the bench including the Supreme Court Of she United States; they captains of industry and commerce. they are engineers and constructors; they are on the farms they in a professions and are workers everywhere And they have given lustre to all that they have touched. Our great Chief Justice whom Frank Cobb, editor or the NC" iork "otll' le gently said Is the greatest iurlst the country has had since Marshall is of Irish descent and associated with him is Justice McEenna Irish born There is no man in the Senate who higher than Walsh the great Montana lawyer and serving with him are Phelan of caiforna Ashurst of Arizona, Clarke of Arkansas Bry an of Florida Kern of Indiana. oGOrman of New York Shields oi Tennessee Martin of Virginia, Maritime of New Jersey-au of good old Irish stocks some of them. 1t s true hvae been many generations in Amer ea-and Hughes Of New Jersey and Oliver of Pennsy- vania who are Of Irish birth.
 In the other branches Of Congress Irish blood and Irish names are so thick that 1t would be indivious to mention names. None stand higher among the cap tains of industry and commerce than Thomas F. Ryan John D. Ryan the Greaces. Farley, Hurley Hin and oth ers In the legal and other professions the Irish are among the leaders everywhere To give list Of the names Of great builders in the various phases of Aer can development would be like calling the roll Of an organization Of the Ancient Order of Hibernians In the army there are Generals Barry. Murray. Greene Mcintyre and others. And 1t has been for several generations Inst past.

Mr. Balaine wants to go to Congress to prevent Re publican administration stopping work on the Al aska railroad next year. He accuses the Guggenheims and their agents Of desiring such result and he pro- poses to spike their guns from the vantage point of seat in tho National House Of Representatives.
 Is the Guggenheims have the necessary Influence to control Republican administration on Alaska mat ters they have sufficient influence to spike Mr. Bal iaiues guns in Seattle Republican primary. The safe way to make sure of the completion of the Alaska rail- road win be to reeiect President Wilson, and that IS probably the way he majority of the people of Seattle win look at 1t.
 While Seattle people are about 1t they should send
 man to Congress who win support the administration that has done more for Seattle than any other admins raton has ever done The present administration has started the development of Alaska and 1t is proceed ing with leaps and bounds The revival of Alaska trade is counting more for the advancement of Seattle than any other factor tue commercial and industrial world today Seattle has repaid that service in the past by sending 50 Congress man whose friends bC=t that he has been "gad-ny" to the administration

Our Daily Special A man respects the lew until 1t is applied to him.
Luke MeLuks says


 Truth has to SO some to be atrang- CT than modern fiction.
 It is none Of our business. But some men seem to wear three-carat dia- mond rings to call your attention 10 the fact that their finger nails are dirty.
 Once upon time a biz man Insult ed @ little man. And tho little man. having read In novels how the small but determined hero always bests his giant antagonist hauled off and bit the big man on the jaw and knocked him down. Yes he did Like Kelly did.
 Luke wants to shake hands with that Cincinnotd school teacher who informed her pupils that the Never told lle' stuff about George Wash inglon was a myth. and that George was merely human like the rest of us. Luke has gained a reputation for an iconoclast for preaching the same doctrine. George was married man, and he had to lis Go his wife like the rest of the poor mar-ied dubs to keep peace in the family.
 When a farmer goes Go town, his idea of dissipation is to go into 9 res- taurant and order @ mess of ham and eggs.
 After reading five columns of prohi. bition flub dub on the question of vot- ing the District of Columbia dry, we have arrived at the conclusion that a Senator who votes for the bill is serving notice on his constituents that he wants a guardian and dassen't trust himself in a city In which the saloons are open.
 A man can't fool his wife by being polite and attentive to her. She knows that he has been up to some skull duggery and is merely trying to square himself
 A newspaper man finds it hard to decide which is the bigger pest-the man who wants 1t put in the paper or the man who wants it kept out of the paper
 We believe that the man should be the head of the house and Chat the woman should be a dutiiul helpmate. But any man who chews tobacco and smokes when he is at home should be compelled to act as his own Cuspidore cleaner

In the year 1906 the treaty Of Agecras was entered into by the European powers and the United States by which the independence and sovereignty of the Sultan Of Morocco were recognized and the territories of Morocco were guaranteed intact Yet within six years France invaded Morocco and the country was divided between France and Spain. The United States cid not declare war on France was It even sug- gested at the time that 1t the duty of our govern ment o intervene behalf of the sacredness Of treaty obligations
 Roosevelt was President when the United States entered Into that treaty and Taft President when the treaty was violated. Yet Roosevelt and other Re publicaus of prominence. who did not lit finger or make protest behalf Of the independence of Morocco or Korea are severely critcsing President Wilson be- cause he did not declare war on Germany when that country violated the treaty with Belgium by invading that country.
