Half-baked "intellectuals'' need a spanking. now and then, and
we know of nobody better qualified to give it than the old-fashioned
type of American citizen who wears cowhide top boots and
chaws Kentucky twist vide John Calhoun Allen, Sr., of the Cum
berland range. John Calhoun Allen, Jr., was born in the mountains
himself, but in what appears to have been an evil hour for him
he learned to set type at the county seat and became, later, a
iourneyman printer with a roving commission. In time he reached
New York, where he heard of socialism, anarchy and other exotics
that had never penetrated his native 'fastnesses. He became a
convert, and last month, when his "high priestess," the Goldman
person advised against registration, he refused to register, and
was, sent to jail. There were so few slackers in the United States
that a report of this isolated instance of disloyalty found its way
to the home of the senior Allen. Mr. Allen, Sr., had never been
"No'th," but he started almost instantcr. Monday he shouldered
his six feet two of stature and two hundred pounds of solid avoir
dupois in the United States Marshal's office and casually asked for
the address of Allen, Jr. He "was informed that Allen, Jr., was
occupying a fairly comfortable cell in the Tombs. "Lead me to
him," said the old man, but instead he "led" the junior into the
United States Marshal's office, where he was careful at first to
keep out of the sweep of his father's hand. "Git me," said the
elder Allen, in effect, "a regristration blank." It was gotten.
"Sign on the dotted line, son," observed the old man, in a
voice the import of which the young man evidently understood, for
he signed, and will enlist before being drafted. He has two
young brotbers in the service.
The elder Allen, who is of Revolutionary stock, is to be con
gratulated upon his ability to exercise parental authority over a
son of no longer of nonage: and the younger Allen is to be con
gratulated upon having a father of whom any American citizen
might be proud.

In the American navy's first encounter with U-boats the U
boats were driven away those of them not shattered by Ameri
can gunfire and sent to the bottom. This is in keeping with the
traditions of our navy, which has no record of defeats where it
has met an enemy on anything like equal terms. The fact that
the attack was made at night is as gratifying as it is significant.
The result proves that this twentieth century shark of the seas
cannot ambush our transports so long as they are convoyed by
warships properly equipped with searchlights.
The news of the engagement was given to the American peo
ple as a feature of Independence Day celebration and it caused
a thrill of pride on our prowess and joy in our strength to run
from coast to coast and from the Canada line to the Gulf of
Mexico.
Xor are we disturbed in the least to learn that U-boats are
venturing farther out to sea. Their withdrawal in considerable
numbers from European waters will help us to solve the food pro
blem for our soldiers abroad and
to take care of itself and of the
on in earnest now, and the end. we may hope, is almost in sight.
The single sinister feature of the attack is found nearer home
than the mid-Atlantic, closer than the waters that wash our own
shores. It has been proved that spies are abroad and active that
the enemy moved when our transports sailed. Had the attack
proved successful main- lives would have been sacrificed through
the agency of these spies, who

J WHAT THE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE MEANS. J
For the first time since the Czar of Russia was set down and
began hoeing potatoes the Russians are fighting. Yon 1 linden
burg sent a proposal for an armistice to the Russians, asking them
to cease fighting until the last of September, and their answer was
a furious attack on the Germans and Austrians along the Galician
front. The Teutons were driven back, many of them were killed
and wounded, and more than 19,000 were taken prisoners. Very
good for a beginning. The Russian army is said to be in first
class condition, and are fighting with great spirit and zeal under
their famous commander. General Brusiloff, and the heroic Minis
ter of war, Alexander Kerensky.

equipped with plenty of ammunition. me3ns rairh to the Allies

Austrian headquarters to sec what he can do to turn the tide. It
is the Russian intention to split the German and Austrian forces
in two and then destroy the Austrians. The Russians always have
found the Austrians easy prey nearly a million of them arc in
Siberia now in prison camps. . If TJrusiloff succeeds in his inten
tions it probably will put Austria out of the fighting. Se is tired
of it now, and has been seeking peace at almost any terms for
four months. This will leave the Allies free to turn their whole
attention to Germany, with millions of Russians attacking on the
East and Americans and French and British, reinforced perhaps
by Italians, assailing them on the West. The Russians campaign
means much, as we have said, and it is not impossible that it may
mean the end of things for the Teutons.
o
THE APPOINTMENT OF HUNT ITS REAL MEANING.
It looks as though President
catspaw by some gangrene-brained politicians in Arizona, to do
politics for the gubernatorial election a year from next November.
In the light of recent events, no other construction can be placed
on the appointment of Ex-governor G. W. P. Hunt as Federal
strike conciliator.
Shortly after Governor Campbell was given the scat to which
he was elected by the people of
throughout the State that there

from as much of the plan as was given publicity, was that the

the report was that many considered such a plot nothing short of
treason, and could not believe that there were things in the guise
of men, so low as to become parties to such a nefarious scheme.
And that is the reason so called
awarcs, and before they realize it the disaster is upon them. While
the proponents of law and order are. lulled by a false sense of
securitv, the enemies of government arc always busy with their
insidious plots, undermining the foundations of organized society.
And so, in this instance.
The plotters were busy while the better element remained

It is with no bitterness or hysteria that we write these lines.
Adopting the French method of detecting crime, we can sec but
one man in Arizona, to whose benefit a spectacular settlement of
the strikes would redound, and on that man we must look with
suspicion, knowing as we do, the unescapable logic of the steps
leading up to the present state of affairs. First came the loss of
power. Then followed the boast. The labor-capital fight, which
split the Democratic party and was a factor in defeating Hunt,
was to be revived with all its dangerous potentialities, in order

ARIZONA
THIRD OF THE
ENTIRE U. S.
OVER HALF MILLION DOL
LARS WORTH OF METAL
EXTRACTED EACH 24
HOURS; NET EARNINGS
ARE ENORMOUS.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
The State of Arizona is this year
yielding more than one-third of the
total estimated copper output of the
entire continent.
Statistics show that $600,000 in cop
per is being. taken from the mining
properties in Arizona every 24 hours.
This amounts to $216,0000,000 a year,
from which result net earnings ot
more than $4,000,000 a month.
Up to the moment of its enforced
shutdown on Monday the Inspiration
Consolidated Copper Company main
tained its production at top speed
throughout the first half of the ycat
as evidenced by a production of 67,
400,000 pounds of copper in that per
iod, against 53,850,000 pounds in the
corresponding period of last year.
Assuming an average prica of 28
cents a pound for its copper and a
cost of 10 cents a pound, there ac
crued to Inspiration profits of $12,
132,000. or at the rate of $25,000,000
a year. Current high prices for the
metal, covering deliveries during the
closing half of the year, indicate a
higher average for the six months
ended December 31st.
Confronted with its first serious
labor trouble sinpc the commence
ment of production. Inspiration has
strong cash resources. Although
earning far in excess of dividend re
quirements, the management has kept
down payments to stockholders of $8
a year, the wisdom of which decision
now comes plainly to the foreground.
Some of the small dcaTcrs of copper
have reduced their quotations, due to
the, fact that there is a smaller de
mand, although they have not taken
any substantial amount of business
at the new levels. For the third
quarter these sellers arc quoting from
30 to 30c per pound, the higher fig
ure including small amounts of July,
it is said, while for the final three
months of the year the range is from
2854 to 29c per pound. Heretofore
these interests have quoted August at
31c, or slightly better, September at
30c, and the final three months at
29c, and have stated that they were
practically sold out of July copper.
OCTAVElllNG
TO
ONE OF BIGGEST GOLD
PROPERTIES IN WEST
IS BEING DETERMINED
AFTER TWO YEARS OF
ENERGETIC OPERATIONS
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
An arrival Sunday from the Octave
mines reported that this important
camp is energetically operating, and
development is giving ore returns
that occasion favorable comment.
Since new machinery has been in
stalled the mine force has been In
creased to 35, and to this number an
addition will be made in a short time.
This property has been undergoing
exploration for over two years, but
no production has been given, al
though the tonnage ready for break
ing runs into a large figure. This
procedure, it is slated, is to be main
tained for montljs to come and the
large plant on the ground is not to
get in action until several thousand
feet of workings are fully opened. The
conservative manner in which the
Octave is being operated by the pres
ent owners insures tonnage for future
treatment which is giving the old gold
property a better rating than it ever
enjoyed. The zone being developed
is above the permanent water level,
and extends along the fissure for sev
eral thousand feet. The company is
controlled by a few Boston capitalists
and its affairs are closely watched.
