Edison Bitter Against Patent Office.

Edison Bitter Against Patent Office.
NEWARK, N. J., May 1S.-Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor, declares that
many Of the employees at the patent
office at Washington are incompetent,
shat the system is faulty, that he had
been a sufferer on numerous occasions
and is at last driven to desperation by
what he termed a most remarkable
proceedings
Mr.. Edison has appealed to President
Roosevelt. He did not charge dis
honesty, but said that things had
been permitted which were improper
and contrary to law. The president
has given heed to the appeal.
"Now, just let me give you an in
stance of the way they do things up
there at the patent Office" said Mr..
Edison. I'm this case we had applied
for a patent covering an electrical
storage battery. They took a couple
of young fellows out of the bottle de-
partment in the afternoon, and set
them to looking up a highly technical
matter.
"They often take young men out of
the bottle department and the collar
button department, and set them to
examining application for patents or
systems Of wireless telegraphy. It is
the same thing over and over. These
men are absolutely incompetent and
we have to be the sufferers.
"Some fellow goes there with an ap-
plication and files it. Then he wants
to get something added to it. He
takes couple of sharp lawyers and
they talk these young examiners to
death. They induce them to hand out
the application papers and then they
can make the additions if they wish"
Mr.. Edison was asked if he did not
think the appeal to the president might
result in a change of policy on the part
of Commissioner Allen.
'Why, say, that commissioner isn't
afraid of the supreme court, let alone
the president" was the reply.

The recent Iypching OF negro
urrderer and the burning OF negro
property in Springfield. Ohio, by a
mob. making necessary the lea4l'ns
ont Of that States militia, will no
dopht cause some of the South hating
citizens of that State, who teach their
CHILDREN social equality-to eat, sleep
and dri1 K with the black race--to
throw ZIP THEFT lands in holy hoiror'
This in our opinion is only the oe-
Ginning of such work in the North
The education of the coons there LOT
rho mast forty years has been along
the equality line and the seit.respec'-
