wires. Those who live in the upper
world never have dreamed what vast
world of life and action there is in
the subterranean chambers OF the
copper god.
They get the precious copper not
only from the ore, or copper glass;"
but also from the acid water that is
pumped out of this underworld. This
water contains much copper in acid
solution; it is pumped up by relay
pumps from miles underground and is
poured out into vast earthen watts. And
how do they get the copper out of the
acid solution of this devils water?
They simply throw into it tin cans,
iron car wheels, WORKOUT machinery,
scrap iron. "tin Lizzies," any old metal
things, and the acid of the water
seizes this metal and the copper is
"precipitated, deposited. For a pound
of tin cans, the god gets a pound OF
copper; or for one hundred pounds Of
old railroad rails, hundred pounds of
copper. 1t will eat up an iron rail
in Few hours precipitating copper in
its stead. The acid has a greater "af-
flnity" for iron than for copper, it likes
iron better, therefore as soon as iron
comes into touch with it, the acid
drops the copper out Of it's mouth, 80
to speak. and seizcs the iron instead.

This acid water is the symbol OF
the whole copper bus ness: It turns

leaders. Not even the shocking affair,
in which the French socialist leader,
Paul Boncourt defended the claims of
a royal German princess in court, in
the midst Of the appropriation cam
paign, aroused the condemnation Of
the social-democracy of Germany or
France or Of the Second International.
Still 100000 workers and peas
ants and small owners voted to ex-
propriate the princes. The vote
against it was negligible, but by the
technicalities Of German democratic
laws, the referendum was defeated.
1t was necessary for practically
20,000,00O voters to cast ballots in the
referendum, no matter what the aye
or nay vote might be.
Pyrrean Victory.
THE victory Of reaction in the de-
4 feat of the referendum Is the VIC
tory of Pyrrhus: another such "vic-
tory" and they are lost. For the
forces OF revolution which are gain
ing new sinews and power and regain
ing the ground lost to 1t by social
democratic treason and its own err
rors, the great movement for the
appropriation of the princes Is a VIC
tory.
New thousands of workers followed
the leadership of the Communist
Party. The decisive sections Of the
working class. in the decisive centsrs,
are moving towards the party OF revo-
luton. And as certain as is the de-
cay Of the German bourgeoisie so Ger
tain is the approach also of the de-
cisive moment.

COPPER is god in Montana: it is
