NORTH DAKoTA'S WARNING TO DEM
 AGOGUES

North Dakota has demonstrated anew the truth of the claim that the sure cure for dcmagogy in politics is the demagoguc in power.
 The dcmagoguc in politics is fruitful in promise and barren in performance. The party that promised the American people in 1912 and 1916 to reduce the cost of government and high cost of living, turn on a new free dom, puvcrizc the plutocrats and keep us out of war, wouldn't have gamercd an cIcc- toraI vote in 1920 except for the well known fact that there are few States of the Union in which the devil himself could carry an election if his name happened to be on the Democratic ticket
 North Dakota listened to the voice of dem agogucs, made the mistake of putting them in power, and found that while the camou- nagcd Socialists of the Farmers Non-Parti,an party were unable to remedy the wrongs and abuses against which they invcighcd without creating greater wrongs and abuses, these politicians were experts, as all political dcm- a gogucs are. in fattcnmg the public payroIIs and boosting taxes.
 The man in politics and public life who seeks to 2ITav ci&yS against class, WEo an''C1i; to envy and hatred of wealth and promises the people that he k going to strip the rich man to clothc the poor is manifcstIy diNhon- est in his professions of special interest in the
 'common people" and can Lc Gcpcudrd upoE to swindIc and exploit the public once he iS given the opOrtunlty.
 And that sort of dcmagogy has even ceased to be popular indeed it is becoming odiouS. The people are tasting the bitter fruits of such dcmagogy at this time in political and economic choas. The politician who thinks the old game of batting business cntrrprls" and bowling against property is going to win, S lacking not merely in honesty, but in th" ability to he successful opportunist.
 If eyer there was a time when 1t wonid h" not only honest but profitable for mon in public life to consider public questions on their merits, rather than by the usual stand ards of political dcmagogy, that time k now. DcnagogicaI agraranism has been whipped in its own citadel in North Dakota. I'm" farmers of state where there have been plenty of good reasons for unErst have booted the TOWnIcy Socialists out of the State House.
 Tine next few years ago going to be bad ones for the drmagoguc in American politics. Courage, honesty and common sense are going to be popular qualities in politicians for a timc at least
 Amd for thi, let Ills, as Americans concerned for the future of this Republic, he duly thank fuI. The most dangerous menace to popular government I- th" politician those po~''.oat on public questions represents an abandon mcut of convictom of genuine devotion to th" public good, and k based only upon d rnn ming purpose to hcfooI and mi>Doad and then

POPULARIzING COPPER

The campaign which has been entered into by some of the larger copper producers to force home upon metal consumers the merits and economy of copper is d worth while under taking. Al present price a pound the red metal which had played so important part in our great industrial progress, to say noth- ing of its ndispcnsabity in winning the war, can be had at very much less than its average selling price for the ten years preceding the war This average was over II cents a pound. And with due allowance for depreciation of equipment and exhaustion of ore reserves, it has been officially calculated that the average cost of production today cannot be placed at less than l6 cents pound. Perhaps 15 cents might be a safer estimate under present wage scales.
 II is perfectly apparent that at 1& cents copper is a bargain, measured by usual stand ards Only abnormally large stocks and a feeble consumptivc demand are keeping tn" price at ifs present abswdIy low IcvcI But there if is and campaign of education must he relied upon to start something.
 Does any we'll informed person believe that the ultimate pace of demand k to fall below past records? II k unthukabo that thc in crease in the use of copper Nhond be per manrntIy halted Copper and copper products are bound to cNp"rIcnc" an expanding demand but at the same tim" it k perfectly plain that il will he necessary to devise means to pro lnoto wider ultimate distribution of the metal.
 During the war copper and ifs alloys went into mniton requirements on such a vast scale that comparatively little was left for other purposes. Al this iuncnrc manufactw CTS of substitutes seized the opportunity to launch an cncrgcntic campaIgm to stimulate demand for competing metals These SubStl- tutcs were readily procurabI" at lower prices than copper and clever tactics were brought into action to put them on the market.
 The success of the substitute products was pronounced, and the fact demonstrated anew how profoundly important if is to cultivate new markets and channels of distribution for the copper products concurrmtIy with the growth of the industry. During the last three years steel, zine, almmnum money metal ant cnamclIcd glass have all been used as sub ~titutcs for copper.
 The merits of many of thc~" -ub~titut"' cannot hp compared with copper. Exhaustive trials by railroad tests proved tlat copper tubes are at least three times, and brass tubes at least twice. as durabIr aS steel tubes.
 For endurance. efficiency and economy, cop per in locomotive fittings is far superior to steel Architects and builders know that cop per and brass are the most satisfactory ma tcriaIs to use in construction equipment. Th" initial cost k more and for that reason the cheaper substitutes are often specified Cop per and brass in automobile construction give excellent satisfaction, but manufacturing cost is kept down by the use of the cheaper sub stitutes.
 It is now mp to the copper industry to win back its prc-war popularity and more, and at the present quotation for the metal this would not appear to be an impossible task

HORSES, MULES INCREASE
MILLION IN TEN YEARS

That the horseless age is receding
into uncertainty, is shown by the
U. S. census figures, which give a
grand total of 27,676,939 horses and
mules on January l, 1920-an in
crease Of nearly a million in the last
decade CT the total, 20, 667,319
horses and mules were of working
age, coming four years and over.
approximately 100000 were in
harness doing farm work and 2,000,-
900, in round numbers, actually at
work in cities, towns and villages.
These 100000 horses and mules
in service require 100000 sets of
harness of equivalent.
The Investigations of the Horse
Association of America show that the
average harness lasts II years. Wa
CONS last Is years. Both harness
and wagons can be patched up to
last year or two longer, if neces-
sary, but the figures given are fair
average for ordinary conditions.
This means that approximately $780,
700 sets of harness are needed every
year to take the place of that worn
out and discarded. Exports of har-
ness and saddlery reached their high
point in 1915 when $18,237.604

years, but increased again in 1919
and 1920, when the figures rose to
