A Copper Colossus

In the March American Mag.
azine is an account OF Daniel G.
lacking, who has doubled the
worlds copper output and is a
giant in the copper field to-day.
He has worked so swiftly and so
quietly that the public as yet is
not aware of his magnitude.
At thirty-fve he was vice
president and general manager
of struggling mining company
predestined, according to the
unanimous verdict of expert
opinion, to be a speedy, very
complete and costly failure. This
is not ancient history. The mine
was opened, the company or
gained, only twelve years ago.
AT forty he was millionaire.
At torty-five he rounded the
Horn in his own steam yacht.
He is forty-seven to-day and a
multimillionaire. He controls
the operation of four mines, all
less than twelve years old, which
annually produce twice as much
copper as the famous mines of
Michigan put together. He ac-
quired an improbable zinc prop
erty four years ago, lifted its
output until the figures approach
ed the total zinc production of
all the mines in Missouri, and
made it pay fifteen million dol
lars in dividends during the last
two years.

FOOIishness Of Worry.

Of all the physical ills which
we needlessly and unconscious
ly bring upon ourselves the most
are doubtless caused by worry.
Hurrying through our daily
tasks and pleasures at GREATNESS
speed is bad enough, but to wor-
ry about future ills is far worse.
1t is well enough to look into the
future and provide to our best
ability against misfortunes, but
when this foresight amounts to
seeing only the phantoms in our
path, it is nothing short Of slow
suicide.

Three Steps are Open to Congress.

lnree SIepS are Upen 10 congress.
Washington, Mch., 27.-Pres-
ident Wilson was represented to-
day as still having an open mind
on exactly what steps he will
recommend to Congress when it
meets in special session next |
week, although the preponder-
ance of official opinion is that he
should ask for a declaration that |
state of war exists between the |
United States and Germany.
Prior to a Cabinet meeting at
which details of preparedness
measures were discussed, SEN
ator Hitchcock, member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, discussed the situation
with the President. Afterward
he outlined the following three
courses which he believed open
to Congress:
Passage of a resolution indors-
ing steps already taken by the
President to place the United
States in a state of armed neu-
trality and authorizing further
preparedness moves;
Adoption of a resolution de-
claring that a state of war exists
between the United States and
Germany; and
Adoption of a declaration of
war against Germany.
SENTIMENT IN THE WEST.
Senator Hitchcock said there
was undoubtedly sentiment in
the West for taking the first of
the three instead of declaring
war or declaring that a state of
war exists.
Other advisers of the Pres
ident, taking the view that the
best step to take is declaration
that a state of war exists,
are examining presidents in
order to map out the best course
to sursue. The general expecta-
ton is that IN the end the res
olution adopted when the United
States went to war with Mexico
will be followed closely in the
the present situation. That res
olution cited repeated acts of ag-
gression on the part of Mexico
against the United States.
The President Is not expected
to put his message to Congress
Into final shape until just before
delivering it. In the meantime
he will confer with congressional
leaders. He is understood to be-
lieve that because of the far
reaching effect of his message he
must consider every phase.
The, too, he is taking into con-
sideration possible events be-
tween now and the time of his
appearance before Congress.
; ON OWN INITIATIVE.
Senator Hitchcock made it
clear that he went to the White
House on his own initiative and
said that he knew nothing yet of
the plans of Chairman Stone, of
the Foreign Relations Committee
, for action in advance of the
: meeting of Congress.
The President will be ready to
, go before Congress at the EARL.
, est possible time after it con.
! venes.
