Reports of eight of the leading
copper producers for February give
combined production in round fig
ures at 63,000,O00 pounds, which
was decrease of 100000 pounds,
compared with the corresponding
month last year. Considering the
extraordinary labor, weather and
transportation difficulties that ham,
pered the producers during the
month, this is a very good showing
The statistics are encouraging, but
unfortunately they do not cover
the whole industry, and reports in
dicate that many of the smaller
producers, operating at greater ex-
pense per unit of production, have
been compelled to curtail output, as
rising prices of labor and materials
reduced the margin between costs
and the selling price of 23 la cents
pound fixed by the government.
Obviously this country and its
allies require all the copper that
can be produced, and if 23 1s cents
is not sufficient to induce the maxi
mum output, then the price should
be increased. This is especially
true, because the refners, complain
ing of high costs, propose to raise
the charge for refining, whether
Justly or not we do not pretend to
say. Therefore, if the current re-
ports that production has been cur
tailed because the fixed price is too
| low-and the authorities no doubt
know the facts-arc true it is to be
hoped that liberal attitude toward
producers will be taken when the
question of upward revision Of the
price comes up for decision before
them, as it will before long.

The Peoples National Bank, Of
Pittsburgh, observing the "coinci-
dence" Of record commodity prices
and currency expansion, accom-
panied by labor unrest at time
when labor is receiving the highest
wages ever paid, "because wages
deprecated in buying power under
inhation," has this to say about the
inf1ationary measure now being de-
bated in Congress:
"The War Finance Corporation
bill carries authority for an issue of
S4,O0O,Oc0,OOO new obligations,
large percentage Of which would be
available for rediscount, thereby
carrying the possibility for large
addition to our already record
breaking per capita money circula
ton. The Federal Reserve system
was designed to provide facilities
for meeting emergencies (the value
of which was demonstrated by our
Liberty loans) which the War Fin
ance Corporation would greatly ex
pand. If such tremendous emer-
gency confronted the nation as to
warrant the potential expansion Of
the proposed law as originally draft
ed, no objection would be inter-
posed; it would be choice between
dangers. But in the absence of con-
vincing evidence of immediate or
impending need it would seem that
the country can rely upon the eX
isting wisely restricted facilities Of
the Federal Reserve system. y

Stock Exchange firms that have

quotations given them by outside

cism has arisen because of the wide
spread" between the bid and asked

conditions in the unlisted security

POrphyry Output Smaller

The production of copper in Febru-
airy by the porphyry companies Utah,
Chino, Ray and Nevada-was less than
in January of this year, according to
the preliminary figures for the month
Just passed. The combined output for
February is placed at 3O,892 ,5S1 pounds,
as against 35,l61,244 for the previous
month.
unfavorable weather and the poor
tardcd production, and fewer working
days, arc considered the principal
reasons for the showing. Utah's pro
duction last month was the lowest
since February, 1916, as was Chino's.
Ray and Nevada did relatively we'll,
but their output was not up to the
standard of previous months. If the
rate of production recorded last month
continued throughout a year the an
nual total from the four mines would
be 5O,1o9,972 pounds. The production Of
the same companies in 1917 reached

Norma Talmadge Plays Strong Emotional Role
in "Martha's Vindication."

Beautiful Norma Talmadge play ed a strong emotional role in Mar tha's Vindication, which was pre- sented last night at the Coliseum and which will be seen again to- night for the last time. The story
 is strong drama of the emotional style and is well produced, a strong company having been chosen to back up Miss Talmadge, among them being Seena owen and Fully Marshall.
 In "Martha's Vindcation," Mar tha sacrifices her good name for her sisters sake, but finally wins it back. Martha (Norma Talmadge) assists her sister, Dorothy (Seena Owen), to conceal her natural child. When Martha is later accused of be- ing the mother of the child, Doro- thea refuses to clear her name. Deacon Hunt (Ralph Lewis), who has married Dorothea, leads the deacons of the church in the at tack upon Martha. One night the council meets in the church and the loyal Martha is unable to dis prove the charge of being the moth CT of an illegitimate child. Sell Schowen (Tully MarshalD, a shell game artist, who has joined the church for the purpose of black mail appears in the role of accuser against Martha.

SERVICES AT TRINITY
 CATHEDRAL

Last evening, on Quinquagesima Sunday of the last Sunday before Lent. Canon Butcher preached . powerful sermon on the scope and purpose of Lent, taking for the text the 37th verse of the 18th chapter of St. Luke's Gospel, Jesus of Naza- rether Passeth by"
 The speaker showed how in the parts of the Gospels and Epistles appointed by the Church for the Season of Lent, the main facts Of Christs ministry on earth, both at the beginning and the end, were grouped together for us so as to be easily grasped The Gospel story of the blind beggar was an instance of the eyes of a mind blind even to earthly things, being opened to the~vision of the Sun in the Heav- ems and the Sun of Righteousness. Year by year we need this Lenten Season that we may realize the spiritual vision. Christ's last jour ney to Jerusalem was inspired by this manifestation ana IL IS uelil- onstration of our necessity and of our manifold opportunities. Divine Love never passes by upheedingly, but is ever ready to help. God has not left the world without His Pres ence, and the Passing By as he goes on his way is witness to that fact.
 Next Wednesday, being Ash Wed nesday there will be celebration of Holy Communion in the Cathedral at 10:30 a. m. and Litany, with a short address at eight o'clock in the evening; and these Wednesday even ing services will be continued during the entire season of Lent. The ad- dress will be made by Canon Butcher.

TAFT PRAISES THE ADMINISTRA'
TVON.

e President Taft is one of the
-cally big men in the Republican par
", Here is an extract from a recent
speech delivered by him.
What can we fairly say of the prep
arations for the war by the adninis-
trntion? We must admit that to
'h~1 . a peace loving democracy like
ju"3 into a nation which shall make
. effective modern war on huge
scale is no easy task. There must
be waste of money, effort and time in
such transition Much has been
done by the administration and well
done. We should not minimize in any
degree the credit due to it for our
CONSUMPTION law. 1t was indispensi-
BILE to carrying on this war. 1t was
democratic in it's principle and effec-
tive in it's operation. 1t could not
have passed but for the efforts of the
President and the republican minor
ity. It's execution, under the able,
directing hand of the judge advocate
and provost marshal general, has been
admirable.
"Other achievements in war prepar-
alton may properly be claimed for the
credit of the administration, whose
patriotism and earnest devotion to its
great moral war aims no one can
question"

THE GULF BRIDGED.
(By w. J. Bryan),

The coming of prohibition will be a
real blessing to the Americans of Ger
man birth and descent-it will bridge
the gulf that has separated them from
the rest of the people. German brew
ers have used the German-American
Alliance to make language barrier
between the German Americans and
their neighbors. The liquor interests
have tried to keep their countrymen
in beer gardens talking about the
fatherland and denouncing the So
called Temperance fanatics" when
they should have been mingling with
their fellow citizens and cooperating
in improving social conditions.
The end has come; with the exit Of
this sordid and constituencies
group that grew rich by poisoning the
minds as well as the bodies Of their
brothers, the men and women of leu
ton stock can become part of living,
aspiring, progressive America.
The boys, returning from the army,
