forcible commentary possible upon the change of public sentiment in regard to the accomplishments of science---when Bell was seeking adherents 1t was al- most impossible to find . man wil-l ling to risk $100 in the stock of that company. while today 1t Is found nec- | essary to limit the number of shares sold to one person to prevent the con- centration of Marconi stock in tho hands of a few men.
 asked Mir. Ryan. who is in charge of the Marconi demonstration. why this limit had been placed on the stock and he replied: There are several weighty reasons. first of which is to prevent the accumulation of the stock by interests inimical to the development of the sys- tenn: then there is the excellent busi- ness policy of gaining thouands of customers for the company's commer- cial operation and the further wise policy of having thousands of adher- cnts throughout the nation against the time when adverse legislation may be attempted in the interest of competing systems. You see the advent of the
 Marconi system is not hailed with de-
 light by certain vested intersste and
 the aid of the courts and the govern
 ment has already been invoked by .
 great cable company to drive Marconi
 out Of New Foundland. We expect to
 make the company's interests the peo-
 ple's interests and by eniisting their fi-
 nancia1 aid to enlist also their moral
 assistance in the prevention of unjust
 and injurious legislation. It is wise
 and far seeing policy that cannot fail
 to be Of great advantage not only to the company but to. the stockholders" Mir. Marconi has only recently been declared by the United States courts to
 be the pioneer inventor in wireless tala ndv aA . | practical monopoly of the art. for as Judge Townsend declared In hts re- cent decision: He is entitled to the broadest range of equivalents. and no | mere change of form in the apparatus | entities a rival claimant to the honor
 of being considered an inventor"
 Everybody knows that the great
 founded on a similar decision by ths United States courts in his favor as 1 against a host of rival claimants. and
 that all of them were compelled to eub-
 init to the terms dictated by tho Bell l company; so with the Marconi sys-
 tem. while thousands of electriciaus all l over the world are busy with wire-
 less invention. Marconi is not only the
 owner of the basic patents but he fs years ahead of any of them both in the | theory and the practice of the art. This l Is best shown by the fact that his is the only company carrying on a conn mercial business independent of gov | ernment aid. Not only Is this the case but his system Is adopted and employ l ed by the greatest number of govern | ments, and where in use has the un- qualified and unh hesitating endorsemAuk
 and approval of those governments. am assured by Mr. Ryan that no
 one will be annoyed by importunities
 to buy stock: ali who come to the sxhi- bitions and lectures will be invited to join the company in the work of fn- staliing this great system on the Amer jean continent, but none win be both- cred by appeals and entreaties. the proposition will be very sirnply and plainly put and those who care to do 90 may subscribe--those who do not will not be persuaded.
 We are not going to waste any ef- fort in the endeavor to force anyone to be rich against his will" said he. Eve are simply going to tell the people what we have and what we expect In the fu-
 ture and If this appeals to them as safe. sound and conservative, then we shall ! be pleased to have them with uss we will deal only with provabls facts and I reasonable conclusions. and if these do not bring us the support and eucouT- agement of your public theK we will be content to retire from your city without | 1t.
