Mr. James Neary, formerly Superintendent of the Magma Copper Co.,, and the man who made the Magma possible by reason of his confidence in it, and persistence in urging development of the property when his asso- ciates were discouraged, has taken stock in The Queen Creek Copper Co.,. on basis of SIPS per share in exchange for the options that the company had on the other 812 claims owned by him. This will give MT. Neary substantial stock holding in the company and it will have his enthusiastic support. As a result of this negotiation the company will own outright l212 claims
 He is going to Superior on Saturday next to superintend the installation of the pipe line and construction of the road to transport the drilling outfit and to direct the preliminary development work generally, which has been decided upon after careful consideration with him and the consulting engineer.
 It is MT. Nearys intention to assist the company in every way possible to develop the property as rapidly as may be. His assistance will be most valuable, as no one knows the nature of the Superior country better than he. and 1t IS hls great faith and Oellef Tn the unoer taking that prompts him to give his valuable services at this time
 6,OOO feet of pipe has been contracted for, and work is being pushed with all possible dis patch It IS not improbable that 600 feet depth per month can be accomplished with the drills Mr. Neary thinks he can com mence shipping ore in sixty days.
 Contract has been made with Mr. I. E. Ryan, who drilled the Magma ground. to drill this property with diamond drills. and work is to be commenced immediately, thorough geological study of the ground having been recently made by geologists and engineers to determine where the holes should be placed.

Muddling the Adamson Law.

Judge Hooks decision, holding the Adamson
law to be unconstitutional, moves the matter an
other step nearer to the supreme court, which
has the final say. This preliminary decision,
reached through haste almost as unseemly as
enveloped the passage of the bill through con-
gress, may contribute quite as directly to the
general muddle into which the measure has been
plunged. The brief proceedings before Judge
Hook developed none Of the many points on
which the law has been or may be attacked, and
all Of which must be cleared away before it is
disposed Of "Railroading' the case to the
highest court, with the issues ncomplctely joined,
is not likely to be satisfactory to either side, and
seems certain to invite further proceedings in
court
The parties at interest are in wide divergence
Of opinion as to the points to be submitted to
the court. The so-called law presents an illun-
mating example OF confusion wrought through
il-considered attempts to remedy economic stua-
tons by political action. Diversity Of the inter-
csts involved, the wide variations in character Of
employment, and many other elements that COM
monty control in the formulation Of wage scales
and working agreements, we're totally disrcgarded
by congress when passing the law A single
inAexibie rule cannot safely be applied, even to
enuncate or vivify the principle Of the eight-hour
day, or any other desirable conditions Of employ
ment.
The necessity for decision as to the law and
its application is urgent, for the public must be
relieved of the menace of the disturbance now
threatened by the attitude of both the railroads
and their employees, but the case should go to
the higher court in such form as will secure
settlement rather than mere postponement.

Who Cores Where Bryan Lives9

Substantiated stories that William Jennings
Bryan has dsmantled Fairvew, his home near
Lincoln, Nebraska, and sent his library to Ashe-
vile, N. C., are accompanied by unverihed asser-
tons that he is giving up Nebraska for good and
will take voting residence in Asheville, though
his winter home is in Miami, Fla. The Gilbert
NJ Hitchcock crowd are chuckling. They the
liquor element hold the Nebraska democratic or
ganization. Bryan, the prohbitonist, may get
out II he wants TO.
But those who have a broader viewpoint may
ask who cares where Bryan lives" In cabin
on Mount Washington in New Hampshire in a
bungalow OF the Los Angeles environs, on a
Texas cattle ranch he would still be the same
force for good or i'll in American politics The
world neither knows nor is much interested in the
control of political machine in Nebraska 1t
does know, and is still considerably interested in
the personality OF Mr. Bryan.
That he is stiff in opinion, always in the
wrong, all things by turns and nothing long is
the view Of his foes. They think his free silver
ideas absurd, his state ownership Of railroads
nonsense, his peace treaties Quxotc. his prohibit
tionisn ridiculous. When he says Il am still in
politics with both feet" they laugh. But just
the same, unfriendly organs have to record that

Pruning the Bill Of Fare.

Walter Runcman's control OF food in the
United Kingdom promises to be rigid, His deter
mination to prevent extravaganza or waste in
any way will have marked effect on consump
ton, and prices should respond accordingly, The
central powers Of Europe long ago placed their
food supplies under strict control; France, within
the week, has adopted rules to govern the public
dietary even more stringent than those Of Great
Britain, The Scandinavian countries and Holland
for months have been on "rations" established
by Great Britain and the Swiss government has
been furnishing food at below cost to its needy
people, while Italy was on short rations before
the war started. All the European nations have
been touched by the war in this regard, and all
have responded by shortening the bill of fare.
The reflex of this should be felt in the United
States, and in some measure relieve the situation
here without the necessity of adopting such an
extreme measure as placing an embargo on food
expectation Little room is left for doubt that
much Of our home difficulty is due to the manipu-
lation Of prices by food spectators This has
been we'll known to the public for years, but has
been allowed to continue unchecked until the
present state Of affairs has developed. A great
share of the blame rests directly on the people
who now complain. Four years ago the legisla-
turc Of Nebraska conducted series of inquiries
in Omaha, and as result directed the attorney
general and the county attorney to take action
against designated combinations No action was
ever taken, but the voters have just reelected the
county attorney who ignored that instruction.
The United States district attorney answers a
complaint by telling the complainant to dig up
his proofs of illegal control Of food supplies
Abstenton from expensive food may bring
reduction in price, but more definite action is
needed to effcctually remedy the trouble. The
situation is an outgrowth Of our national habit
Of carcessncss; it is not of sudden development
and it will not be overcome until all the people
show more active concern in the things that
closely affect in their daily life.

Short On Everything

From every factory, from every banker and bust
ness man, from foreign and domestic hnanciers
and manufacturers comes the one cry Of shortage
of something that is needed in that particular line
of endeavor whence comes the complaint. There
Is famine in steel and orders taken now cannot
be delivered before well into next spring, if them
labor asks wage increases and the employer help
less, must give in; the copper metal producers
are trying to limit the clamoring buyers, who are
asking for deliveries in the second quarter OF
1917; the car manufacturers are overrun with or
ders and the shortage is made the subject of an
official investigation by the Chamber of Deputies
in Paris, where it is asserted that out of $4,000
railroad cars ordered in the United States, only
5000 or 1000 have been delivered; the Railway
Review explains in part the reason for the French
car shortage by the statement that car orders
since January l last have been 100000, or 5000
more than were ordered in the year 1915 while
there is smaller supply Of labor from which to
draw in order to complete the job; Chief Engi-
neer Bump of the Doherty organization, points
out that at the present rate of demand, if the gov
eminent insists on carrying out its naval plan
without delay, the General Electric and Westing-
house Electric companies will be engaged for three
years on the contracts and be unable to do any
commercial business whatever or fill new orders
in that PERIOD the steel trade asserts that serious
car shortage now menaces its business at Pitts
burgh, as the production is limited by the num-
Der OF cars available for carrying away the i'm
n,ensc output, and our bankers find bonds and
high grade stocks extremely scarce, as the result
of tying up OF hundreds of millions of the same
in loans
The only thing that is abundant seems to be
money, with complaints that its abundance is
one of the factors making for high prices. Europe
cannot stop buying if she would and as long as
she keeps up the pace there seems to be no relief
for US on this side except as we moderate our de-
mands and became content to waive some of the
things now demanded. If therefore, in the next
six months industry shows some slowing down
it should not be surprising The country must
have time to catch up and clear away the noun

every man who il entitled to vote
in those states shall be able to cast
his vote as freely and untrammeled
as every democrat can cast his vote in
all of the states of the union, both
north and south.
In the recent election the democrats
OF South Carolina. according to their
figures, cast $4,000 votes for Wilson
and only allowed Hughes 1900 votes
That state has seven members of con-
gress, while Nebraska, casting nearly
5000 votes, has only six members
of congress. In the state of Missis-
sippi the democrats cast, according to
their reports, 1000 votes and actually
allowed the republicans to cast 5000
votes. That state has eight members
of congress and should have cast at
least 100000 votes.
Such an unfair situation must be
met sooner or later and the leaders
of the republican party might as well
get their nerve with them and declare
strongly in favor of cutting down the
representation in congress in every
one of the states l have named until
they allow their citizens to cast their
votes as freely as we do in Nebraska
and to have them counted as cast.
next national republican convention
and work and vote for a strong plank
in favor of every citizen of the United
States casting his vote freely and
untrammeled, whether they are demo-
Gratis, republicans, socialists, white or
black in color.
A very honorable man of this city
visited a polling place in the state of
Mississippi this year when the demo-
Gratis were holding their primaries and
watched them to see how they con-
Quoted the election. He said that just
eleven men voted at the primary, yet
the election board certified that 500
votes were cast at the primaries. Yet
we people of the northern states sub
nit to just such kind of work and
hundreds of thousands of northern
people voted to let such people run
our national affairs.
We need some Blaines and Chand-
lers and Logans today to stir the peo-r
pie up to the dangers that beset our
national life. Better work for the
right of every citizen of the United
States to cast free and untrammeled
vote before extending to the women
the right of suffrage that a majority
themselves are opposed to.
I hope to see the day when no right
full voter in all of this great nation will
fear to cast his vote as he pleases and
have it counted as he casts it.

Two Promising Enterprises.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. 23.-To the
Editor of The Bee: 1 want to indorse
your editorial first, THE Time to Push
for That Pipe Line" The writer fav-
ored this great advantage to Omaha
over twenty-five years ago, when it
was advocated by J. w. Grain of Ar
Neb., and l still believe it to
be one of two enterprises that capital
cannot go wrong in pushing. Let it
be taken up by the Omaha CONNER
cial club and everybody.
Also your editorial, Control of In
terstate Water" The writer was one
of a committee appointed by Mayor
Koutsky of South Omaha to look into
the plan of water power for the great
packing interests of that city and
while a majority did not favor the
project, the writer did because steam
power in state that has no coal
mine is too expensive for manufactur-
ing purposes The writer does really
hope that capital can be raised to push
these two enterprises that will make
Omaha the largest, as well as the best
city in the west, for the advantages
are SO apparent that they should need
no pushing. ]. G. BLESSING.
