MODERN PIRATES

The oldtime sea rover who was wont
to swoop down on merchantmen and
loot its cargo was regarded by all civil
lied nations as criminal Of the NEST
dangerous type, says the New York
Tribune" of February 4. If caught, Re
was usually hanged along with his crew.
In these more peaceful days there are pi
rates who prey on commerce but they are
far less engaging to the Imagination.
Among them may be classed the trade
mark CRATER" as he is sometimes called,
who, despite the laws, still prospers. In
stead of holding up a ship laden with
merchandise he attacks the business of
some other manufacturer, and by imitat-
ing his rivals brand, the style and cover
of the packages in which the wares are
Sold and also by throwing out to the pub
lie the bait of a cheaper price, he diyerts
the revenues Of his victim into his own
pocket.
So great has become the depredations
OF these land buccaneers that American
manufacturers are now asking for ma
tional law which shall make the imita-
ton of trademarks penal offence. a
bill has been introduced at Washington
which provides that the maker of goods
which are articles of interstate commerce
and which bear labels in imitation of
other brands shall be liable TO 81 900, fine
or Imprisonment for two years, or both.
The manufacturer who tlseces the public
by means OF counterfeit label is as
much a swindler as the green goods man
or the gold brick fnancier. If, as the
advocates of the bill assert, it will be
supported by the courts as constitutional,
it SHOULD be passed. Caution in respect
to its scope, however, is absolutely neees-
sary. The law of 1876. which made
trademark counterfeiting a penal offence,
was overthrown by the courts on the
ground that it pfringed state rights.
Most of the states have statutes MAX
ing piracy a criminal offence, but these
laws vary to<such a degree and are so
laxly enforced that manufacturers say
they afford them little protection. They
also point out that nearly all European.
countries have national laws like the one
they want enacted BY Congress, and that
even in China there is a law providing
that one guilty Of this offence may be I'M
prisoned for one year.

act against the Republican party. It was
for this reason that .Asselnblynan Miller
offered resolution requesting the Attor-
ney General to give an opinion regarding
the constitutionahty of dividing counties
INTO districts.
In order that the Perkins bill may be
taken into court and decision rendered
by the Court of Errors and Appeals re-
garding its constitutionality before the
next general election in November, the
bill provides that the county clerks In
the several counties of this State shall,
within ten days after the approval Of
this act, cause the same to be printed for
circulation in their respective counties,
and shall furnish to any person applying
to them therefor printed copy of this
act. The failure of any county clerk To-
furnish such copy to any person SO de-
manding the same shah not, however, be
construed to invalidate or affect any
election held under this act'
This is the section BY which it is hoped
the act can be taken into court. In the
event of the refusal of any county clerk
to. publish the new Assembly District
lines. mandalnus proceedings viii be in
stituted against him. This win bring the
matter into court and by consent into the
Court Of Errors and Appeals. A test case
will be made as soon as the Perkins bill
becomes a law and it is believed that a
decision viii be rendered before next No
vember.

the tariff question IN favor Of reyissan
before Congress aajoafnsa, IS booked
upon now by many as the only way out
Of the tapglea Ii IS pretty generally un-
derstood that the President. in order TO
secure all the support he could get for
his rate program. agreed with Cannon
not to urgestariff revision at this sussion.
This agreement may not, it is though,
prevent him from expressing himself on
the subject in message to Congress
late in the sezsion too late to permit Of
it being made the excuse for any kind of
a fight this year
1t is known that the President IS thor
oughly in sympathy with thegrexision
sentiment. He believes that tie country
has outgrown the Dingley act-that con.
ditions have changed, and that revision
of the law, without annuling its protec-
tive policy, but providing more adequate
means for applying the reciprocity idea,
is necessary. Just how the revision idea
is taking hold among the party leaders
is also evidenced by the fact that Sec
retary Shaw Is the only standpatter now
left in the Cabinet. Wilson. Secretary
of Agriculture. is the latest of the Cab
met converts to the revision doctrine.
Should the President send short and
ringing tariff revision message TO Con
gress in it's last days, it is believed. it
would amount to serving notice that he
will insist upon Congress taking the
matter up in earnest al the short session
next winter, while at the same time it
will relieve the campaign difficulty by
furnishing basis upon which there may
be some un.fority Of declaration and IS
sues in tile platforms in the Congression-
al districts. Instead of leaving part
Of the Republican party fighting over
the old field Of standpat;sm and the re-
mainder shouting for revision in the
campaign. it would naturally bring them
all into line as revisiopists.. and would
provide an excuse for Cannon. Payne
and the other standpatters to get into
line.
