SATURDAY DEMOCRATIC
DAY IN DENVER
Leaders of the Party From WASH

Last Saturday was a big day
for the Democrats of Colorado.
who assembled in Denver to meet
the officers of the national organ
ization to lay plans for carrying
the national and state elections
in November 1920. Chairman
Homer S. Cummings of the Nat
ional Committee held several
meetings with the Democratic ed
itors, the state committeeman and
women and leaders of the Denver
organization. In all his speeches
his remarks were optimistic of
success next year and he is Wis
iting number of the western
states to see that the party does
not display lack of interest that
-comes of over confidence. Mr..
Cummings is splendid talker
and impressed his hearers with
the sincerity of his stand politic-
ally in pronouncing the Demo-
cratic party the greatest party of
achievement that has been in con-
troll of the government since the
founding of the nation. He en-
dorsed Woodrow Wilson as one of
the grandest executives and
statesmen that has ever occupied
the presidential chair and was
looked upon as leader of man.
kind not alone in his own country
but thruout the world. In one of
his speeches, in touching upon the
criticism and abuse that is direct
ed toward the president by cer-
tain Republican senators, Mr.,
Cummings said; v
GAS l read the reports of these
speeches of strict and unrelent-
ing partisanship l wonder what
phrases of abuse, what language
of vituperation, what invective.
what recital of blunders and
crimes would have agitated the
political atmosphere if the presi-
dent of the United States had led
the country to the disastrous con-
cldsion of an unsuccessful war?
Every epithet of reproach already
has been exhausted in an attempt
to discredit the leadership of AM
erica's president at time when
Americas prestige was never
greater, Americas power never
so vast and Americas success
never so transcendent. >
"The campaign of slander.
which is the very spume of poll
tics, has been reserved for Amer
ica's greatest leader in the hour
of Americas greatest triumph.
To listen to the spokesman of the
Republican organization is to
gather the impression that Am

forced into a discreditable peace.

The Copper Situation

"The removal of the embargo
against importation of copper in
to France is one more step toward
clearing up the general copper
situation, according to statement
of one of the largest copper SELL
ing factors in the industry.
ut is apparent from the action
of the French government that
the consumers there must soon
come into this market as purchas-
ers; and, inasmuch as they would
not be authorized to buy until the
government. stocks are liquidated.
or largely so, France will have to
look to this country for contin-
uous supply thereafter.
"There has been no embargo
against us in Great Britain; the
market there has been open to all
comers and considerable business
has been booked. Italy is the on
ly country that is still maintain
ing restriction against us but
lntimatlonS have come from there
that it will soon be removed.
"The stocks of copper held by
the allied governments at the
time of the armistice are fast dis
appearing. The demand for cop
per is improving and in view of
the approach of the time when all
Europe will be a buyer in large
quantities for prompt shipment.
the American stock of marketable
copper will soon begin to disap-
pear.
"The situation as to supply of
labor at the mines is far from
satisfactory; there is a distinct
scarcity. The mines are now op-
Grating at about so per cent capac-
ity and in doing so are employing
all of the labor that is available"

MINING COMPANIES AF-
FECTED BY COURT DECISION
Minerals Separation Co.'S Patents
Cover FlOtatiOn Process.

DutIc NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. are
involved and many mining COM
panies in the country are affected
by decision of the United States
supreme court handed down at
Washington Monday of last week.
A body blow was delivered to all
producing companies whose use
of the Minerals Separation pro-
cess involved them in the techni-
calities of the courts holding.
More than two and half millions
of dollars have been expended in
the litigation which was ended by
the supreme court of appeals at
San Francisco which held that
the Minerals Separation COM
pany's patents covered the So
called flotation process when linn
tied to the use of one-half of one
per cent, or less, of oil. Minerals
Separation had held that their
patents covered any fraction of
one per cent. The court upholds
that contention.
In December 1916 the United
States supreme court decided in
favor of Minerals Separation, Ltd.
against Hyde, upholding the pat
ent of the Minerals Separation
process, which was patented in
1905 after the discovery of the
process for producing mineral
bearing froth as the result of the
use of oil and mechanical agita-
ton. In April 1917 the United
States district court at Butte de-
cided that the case against the
Butte & Superior was identical
with that against Hyde.
In August 1917 the same court
handed down a decision that the
Butte & Superior Mining COM
pany, by use of more oil in flota-
tion than was used in the Miner
ais Separation patent was mere
ly an attempt to avoid the patent.
and the mining company was or
dered to furnish a bond of $780,
900 and to deposit all of it's earn
ings above actual operating ex-
penses with the court until an
appeal had finally been adjudicat-
ed.
In May 1918 the United States
circuit court of appeals at San
Francisco decided favorably on
an appeal from the decision of the
district court at Butte, and the
following month the United States
court at Helena revoked the in
junction against the mining COM
pany ordered by the higher court.
thus relieving the Butte & Super
ior of the necessity of making
such deposits and monthly re-
ports, providing the company
used more than one-half of one
per cent of oil, or more than ten
pounds of petroleum to a ton of
ore treated by the flotation pro-
cess. A writ of certiorari was
granted to the Minerals Separa-
tion company, and an order was
made restraining the Butte s;
Superior from disposing of its as
sets, pending the final decision by
the supreme court, which has
just been recorded.
The American Mining Congress
has filed with the Federal Ira lie
Commission complete brief in
support of it's charge that the
Minerals Separation company, by
its business methods and the oner-
Gus terms of it's license contracts
is using unfair methods of COM
petition and asks the right to in
tervene in behalf of the mining
industry of the west. This brief
is now under consideration by the
Federal Trade Commission.

but from the fact the weather being

THE FARMER AND THE PLUMB
PLAN FOR RAILROAD CONTROL

(From Kansas City Weekly Starr
The American farmer is peculiarly
concerned in the problem OF cheap
railroad transportation. He neces-
sarily lives at distance from the
large manufacturing centers. Every
thing he sells and almost everything
he buys is hauled over the railroads.
How will the Plumb plan Of railroad
management affect the farmer?
The farmer IS asked to help buy the
railroads from the present owners and
then turn them over to the railorad
employees to manage. If there is any
profit the farmers will not share in it.
But If there should be loss, he must
help make it good. In any event his
taxes will be increased to pay interest
on the railroad purchase bonds
Half Of the profits, to be sure, are
to so to the government. But these
are to be used in extension and bet
tcrmcnts which are expected to in
crease the roads earning power. In
reality, the direct profits all go to the
employees. Where the public, includ-
ing the farmer, comes in, according
to the plans advocates, is in the lower
freight and passenger rates that arc
promised.
The question is whether these bright
promises will be fulfilled. 1t will be
recalled that at the beginning Of the
government railroad administration
promises were lavish. Fulfllmont has
been at n discount.
Under the proposed plan ten Of the

fifteen directors who ara to be in
charge Of the roads, would come from
the employees-five to be elected by
| the operating officials and FIVE by the
classified employees. The Other five
are to be appointed by the president.
BY providing that the dividend on Op-
| Grating officials as to the classified
cntploces, the authors Of the plan con-
tend that the operating directors
will be under incentive to keep wages
down. For it will be TO their interest
ito accumulate a surplus out of which
TO pay dividends, rather than to use
up the surplus in higher wages.
Such check on wage increases,
however, will not be generally regard
ed us effective in the light of expert
cnce. The great incentive to efficient
management always has been the dan
ger OF loss Of the property if the man
agcmcnt proved inefficient. rhis in
centive is wholly lacking under the
Plumb plan. It is heads win, tails
you lose. The public buys the rail-
roads and then does more than give
them to the employees. 1t gives them
with the proviso that it will make up
any deficit, While If there are profits
the employees will get them.
h 1t is hardly possible that suuh n
plan will appeal to the farmer ass the
most effective way to reduce the cost
Of his transportation. He himself; is
driven by the fear Of loss If his work is
not successful. He will not expect to
see strenuous efforts to keep down
needless expenses on the part Of an

to a peculiar relation Of this period

the winter solstice period one can
cary his forecasts farther into the
succeeding spring and summer.
Precipitation will be abundant dur
