GALvEsToN's GREAT PROGRESS.

 Its Recovery from Great Disaster q
 Worlds Wonder.
 The Galveston News of September contains @ synopsis of the commerce of the port of Galveston for the trade year just closed which shows, among others. the breaking of the following records: Value of foreign exports.
 Value of foreign imports.
 Value of cotton exported.
 Amount of packing house products exported.
 Amount of corn exported.
 Exports of animals.
 Value of lumber exported.
 Bank clearings
 Custom house receipts.
 Amount of foreign tonnage.
 Among the features of the year were the development of Galveston beach lars to turn 1t into a regular coney Island, and the coming of the new Brownsville Railroad.
 With the increase of the amount or cotton marketed through Galveston the Galveston spot market IS becom- Ing a dominant feature. The Texas cotton crop for 1905-O6 amounted 10 2.521,S SS5 bales, compared with 2,S73,- SS7 bales for 19O4-05. Galveston's cot ton receipts for the past year were 2,674.575 bales. compared with 2,S79,- 336 bales for l904-05. The per cent age, as compared with the Texas crop, marketed at Galveston was 100,6. The per centage of the Texas and Territo- ries crops marketed at Galveston was 83.3.

manded, claiming that the monopoly controlled was not the legal monopoly ~ranssd by the patent laws but Da.,on mof Of patents in restraint of trade. Judge Seaman sustained the point. If the decision is sustained numerous import ant monopolfes based upon comDina. tion and Suppression of patents will lose their cinch and have to do busf- ness on a competitive basis Ike the rest of us.
 Like most questions of general in- terest, this one has two sides to 1t. and strong argument may be made for either or each of them. It Is all true that patents are species of monop- ofy, and 1t is likewiss true that they are frequently hurtfui to all but the direct beneficiaries. The case men toned by The Journal in connection with threshing machines is good ex- ample of hurtful monopoly. There are other cases where the patentee. or the owner of pat of great i'm portanee may absolutely control the patented business and shut off all others unless they pay the price de- manded. In other cases the patentee will neither sell nor hire his patent.to others and may thus be eaabled to shut out all competition.
 Ali this is true enough, and it is true that great hardship may sorne- times come from this absolute control of process. but that Is only one side of the question. When man invents something valuable. and obtains patent for 1t it is his own property as long as the patent runs. A man writes a valuable book and has it copyrighted. It may be popular, have and his publishers. while other book concerns are not allowed to publish 1t without paying for the privilege. The book is the product of the authors brain, and if he chooses to keep 1t to himself, or to admit another to share In the profits he has a right to do so.
 And so it is with a patent That is a product of the brain of the inventor. and Is as much his own property as the book is the property of the au- thor. If he does not obtain patent on his invention and reserve to him. self the right to make and sell the
 
 article patented all others can use 1t and Le will derive no benefit from the fruits of his genius. But, if the in- vention is a very valuable one. and one that all are interested In, corpo-' ration may get possession of it and make fortunes out of 1t by shutting out all other manufacturers. So 1t is' that patents are proper for the pro- tection of genius and research while on the other hand they may b. used te form and sustain burdensome monopoly. Just what may be the ef- feet of Judge Seaman's decision. 1T how widespread may be its effects cannot be stated now. It may prove benefit or may turn out to be a hardship on invento--

Impossible in Many Ways.

Memphis Commercials ppeat. E
 In the first place the proposal has all the clements of impossibility in it The railroads of the country have cost several billion dollars and there Is no way bv which the government could obtain them honestly. In the, second place the proposition would increase the tendency toward eentralization and thus violate a cardinal principle of De- rnocracy. In the third place 1t would be a long step in the direction of so- clalism. which MT. Bryan himseit dls- credits. And lastly 1t would project itics. and more than million railroad men would be at the mercy of the party in power, for t is not likely that the politicians would neglect to avail themselves of 50 great an aux Hilary ferpe.

Such q plan seems 10 be opposed to the traditions of the Democratic party. As an Issue, to say the least, it is born many years too soon and even if carefully nursed in Mir Bryan's incubator is not likely 10 grow big enough in our times to wear long pants and be admitted to the political arena. But fits mere pa- ternity may be suf4cient to cause MT.

New Rulings.

Athens Courier.
 At a meeting of the County Demo- cratic Executive Committee held last Wednesday at the court house a reso- lution was passed by a unanimous vote which prohibits any person not a mem- Der of the committee holding a proxy and participating i'll any meeting of the committee, 1t also provides that no man shall hold more than one proxy and that must be from his associate committeeman from his beat. This is fair to all. A man who has not enough interest in the affairs of his party to attend the meetings of the committee, should surrender his place to some man in his beat who has. It has been the custom here for some time for outsid- CTS to get hold of proxies and partic- ipate and most generally to really run the meetings. The people have not been always represented In the com mittee because of this fact. The res olution puts a crimp in this sort or thing and will result in more satls- factory conduct of the democratic ex- ecutive meetings. Another resolution which lays down the principle that when a majority of the beats of the county are represented that snail make a quorum, was also passed unanimops- ly.
 This action of the committee has been criticised, but the Courier IS of the opinion that the action Is good one.

Speedy dismissal from the service is promised any employe of the El Paso and Southwestern who hereaf- ter frequents any saloon or gambling house. The superintendent of the two divisions has been requested to cut from the company's rolls any man found in a gambling house or saloon when he is called for duty.
 H. J. Simmons, general manager of the Southwestern, issued a bulletin dated December 21, which states the rule against gambling in strong terms. It says:
 "Any employe of the system who is known to frequent saloons or gambl- ing houses will be dismissed from the service.
 "Any trainman or engineman who is found in any saloon or gambling house when called to go on his run will be dismissed from the service of road.

Coal in the San Simon.

It was announced in the Guardian that F. G. Downey and T. T. Swift bod gone to Stein's Pass. Since that time MT. Swift has returned but would give out nothing for publica- tion. Upon investigation at Bowie, however, it was learned that the two gentlmen had gone to survey some coal ground that MT. Downey had To- cated some time before.
 The location is between Stein's Pass and the Chiricahua mountains. One vein is known to be at least fif- teen feet in width where the crop pings appear on the surface, and the coal is pronounced to be genuine and of a high class.
 As soon as the survey had been completed, it is said that MT. Downey sold a half interest to some eastern capitalist, and then went to Califor' mia. As soon as he returns it is be- lieyed that work will be started on claims, with a strong company be- hind it.-Safford Guardian.

A Valuable Lesson For Shoppers.

Rencently a church congregation in a little Kansas town built a church. To pay for it they were obliged to call on the merchants of the com- munity for donations. The mer- chants responded literally and $500 was raised from this source. The last man asked to subscribe was John Smith, a jeweler.
 ''I will give s5 if you will let me add something to the subscription list," he said. The permission was accorded him and he wrote at the foot of the list:
 John Smith, jeweler, $5.
 Sears, Roebuck & Co.,, 80.
 Montgomery Ward & Co.,, 80.
 The church people saw the point when the minister read from the pull pit the list of donors to the building fund and since the dedication of the church there have been no mail or ders sent out from that Kansas town.
