beca,re a certainty the price Of copper was
around thirty cents Il pound. lead was nine
cent and zinc M in proportion. with a strong
prospect for stronger prices at once. Realiz-
ing the probability of the copper market shoot
ing skvward, the copper producers of the
United States. purely as a matter Of patriot
ism. made the proposal to the government
to sell it the copper needed at a
price to be determined as the average for the
past ten wears. which proved TO be something
over sixteen cents a pound. This offer, and
its acceptance bv the government, had the eff
feet of bearing" the market and keeDing the
price down. even causing a slight decline.
Now the government is asking that the
copper producers of this country sell all its
allies copper at the same price, and the cop
per producers. including those of New Mex

front, and it is IN to the general government
to play fair and place a more reasonable
price on flour, meat and all necessary food

in the wage scale is based upon the price of

William ]. Bryan comes to Chau-
taqua with a patriotic message, sup
porting the President and the Gov
eminent in every detail. He is dis
tinctly and absolutely behind Pre-
sident Wilson in the plans for war.
He brings a message from the Gov
eminent as to what each individual
can best do in the present war, his
subject being, FUNDAMENTALS"
The New York Sun prints the fol-
lowing editorial relative to Mr.. Bry-
ans patriotism.
"Mr. Bryan, who is more than 81
years of age and looks it, has ask
ed the President in a telegram from
Tallahassee to enroll him "as a pri-
vate" whenever he may be needed.
Mr.. Bryan adds: Assign me to any
work that | can do until called to
the %colors.' Far be it from The
Sun to make light of any offer of
service in the war now upon us,
whether it come from ardent youth
of a veteran pacifist. Mr.. Bryan is
welcome.
"When such a volunteer hits the
trail it is legitimate, in fact a duty,
to capitalize his influence for the
advancement of the worldwide cause
to which the United States is now
Idevoting its esources. Nj. Bryan
is now, as he has been for more
than twenty years, the most elo-
quent man in the country. He has
la very large personal following. The
number of his friends is legion.
I'VE say it with the utmost seri-
business that Mr.. Bryan would
make the most successful recruit
ing officer in the county. The
people would flock to his meetings.

THEY LIKE VOLUNTEERS

1t has been noticed that a large number
OF non-commissioned officers of the militia
army have been advanced to commissioned Of
ficers for the new army, and it is said to be
for the reason that all militia are volunteers,
and that the volunteers are generally given the
preference. when all other things are equal. for
which reason the national guard is being call
ed upon to furnish. large numbers of the Off
GERS now being commissioned 1t is said that
Colonel Abbott is in favor of holding off on
the drafting for the New Mexico National
Guard for the reason that those volunteering
will stand a better chance of advancement.
Whatever the reason, the draft has not yet
been proclaimed, and it may be that the New
Mexico officers desire to have as many men
on the favored list as it is possible to get.
There is a reason. because the ranks of the re-
giment can be filled within two weeks by
draft.

When we speak of Mr.. Bryan as a
recruiting officer our meaning is not
limited to the organization of men
to be soldiers. What Mr.. Bryan
can do perhaps betters than any
other public man, is to mobilize
his fellow citizens in the West for
service in the war, each according
to this capacity and possessions. He
breaches the gospel of unselfish pa
triotism.
There is work to be done at the
real as we'll as at the front, in the
factory, in the mine and on the
farm, as well as in the trenches.
What a theme Mr.. Bryan has. He
is more eloquent than ever and
worth a division in the field.
obviously Mr.. Bryan could not
be a private with the colors. That
is only a figure of speech. Besides
he is far above the age limit. He
held the rank of Colonel of Volun-
teers at Camp Cuba Libre. Florida,
in 1893, and the government could
now accept him for war only as
an officer. But. like the enlisted
men, he would have to submit him.
self to intensive training for six
months or a wear. War is scientific
today. 1t would be the worst pos
sible use to make of Mr.. Bryan.
In the Spnish war he chafed at
his inactivity. He can hardly want
another experience of that sort. Col
onel Bryan would be serving with
the colors just as much on the
platform. To rally his countrymen
for war should be his contribution
as a patriot"

CORPORATIONS AND PATRIOTISM

Corporations are popularity supposed 10
have no souls, and that supposition may be
true, but that they have patriotism, and
plenty of it, has been shown by the develop
ments in New Mexico the past three weeks
or so, and for the purposes Of this war we
do nor care what else they have, or do not
have.
When wars alarm went through this
state. the governor called to his aid a number
of prominent gentlemen, among them several
long since recognized as the representatives
OF a number of corporate interests. 1t has
been the custom, for some years in this state,
TO roundly abuse corporations and the repre-
sentatives of corporations, regardless of pro-
vocation for the abuse, and, to our shame,
there are some still of the mind that unless
the representatives of corporations happen to
be with them, for them, useful to them, as
individuals. that the proper thing to do is TO
abuse them. For weeks past we have such
well known corporation men as Charles
Springer, Z. c. Champion, w. A. Hawkins,
and others, giving their time to the state with
out question. pledging their own credit and
that OF their corporations. using the resources
and the organizations of their corporations
for the public good. and spending freely of
their private funds to assist in the work OF
preparing this state 70 do its duty to the
American people.
So far as known to the Record every
corporation, with one notable exception, has
freely and quickly responded to every call for
assistance from the gentlemen of the war Conf
mittee, and that because of this quick response
for a patriotic purpose the state has been

which marks it as one of the foremost in the
nation. These men brought to our aid, in
addition to their own money and the money
of their corporations, an ability second to
