Tanta AnJnHt
BY JUSTICE DAVID j. BREWER.
of United States Supreme Court.

the patent granted him. 1t is a comparatively small sum. l forget
exactly how much; about $50, say. This, of course, is in addition
to whatever he pays his agent or commissioner for securing the patent.
Now, if the government finds that he is not entitled to a patent his
fee is returned to him.
This / do not think to be just. The thing is exactly the reverse
from all ideas of equity. The government has been put to the trouble
of looking up the applicants right to be granted a patent. The gov
eminent should be paid for that trouble. 1t should not refund the
money for conscientious work done. On the other hand, if the man is
entitled to a patent, the government should charge him nothing for
granting it, simply because the government should encourage inven-
ton of all kinds. 1t would even be wise to almost pay a man a pre-
mium for making a real invention.
Now, look at what happens under the present erroneous system
of granting patents. The government does not want to refund the
money, and in consequence the country is deluged with a mass Of
useless patents. The great majority of them are not original or are
not inventions. They ae only distorted applications of the real in
ventor's idea.
As for instance, you would say that the corrugatons on a wash
board were a very simple matter, and that once invented the subject
was ended. The ordinary man would suppose that a patent on a cor
rueated dashboard is a very simple matter, and would be preserved
for all time for the man who first thought of it. On the contrary. /
believe that the patent office has issued nearly so patents on this
verv idea. II ii could issue So it could issue 500 or 5000, because a
very slight change here or there would make something a little diff
ferent from the original inventors model.

Uncle George Explains the Reform
Movement.

81 observe, dear uncle" said Little
billy, that the newspapers are pay
ing great attention to reform move
menrs at this time. l should be glad
if you would inform me of the nature
of this matter. Some simple eXposi-
ton of it's principles would assist me
in my studies"
"Ah, my dear nephew replied I'm
Gle George, carefully filling his pipe
with the hay mixture Dilly's aunt had
purchased for him, you have touched
upon a most important point in our
national existence, a point l may say
that has become absolutely vital. TO
gain a clear and comprehensive idea
of the movement, for it is a movement,
one must consult good Master Web
ster. There we will discover that the
word has a variety of meanings, but
the one with which we must deal is
expressed thus: To abandon that
which is evil and return to the good
AT this time reform is rampant in
every section of our country. We are
striving nightly to turn away the
evil and bring back the good. Polit-
ically speaking, to reform is to create
chaos, but only in the minds of those
opposed to the reform. Personally l
cannot say, my boy, that am great
ly taken with reform. Doubtless those
eStimable gentlemen, Messrs. Folk,
La Toilette, Jerome, ct al, are seri-
Gus and manly in their intentions, but
as to the result of their labors l am
not prepared to state.
1--WE are well aware that reform is
now chiefly applied to our political
broadcast sense, we should rustic back
about a century and a quarter ard
kick the Stats out of the Father of
His Country and his advisers. AS we
cannot accomplish that we must do
what we can with matters at present.
To be plain with you l would say
that reform is based generally upon
jealousy. After that it comes from
a pure and honest heart, but l great
ly fear, Dilly, that the said p. and h.
organ is merely running for place.
Had we nc news sheets, the wave of
reform would wither and die like q
good resolution about January 2.
When a man is seeking political pre-
ferment, my dear nephew, he starts
In with high principle, and a desire
to reform something. About this time
he awakens to find sthings easy to
his hand. On the principle that va
riety is the spice of life, the populace
turns in and elects him with a hur-
rah. From that moment he is doomed.
We read scare headlines in the news
sheets informing us that Mayor Blintz
has declared war against the dives;
that he is about to turn the grafters
out of the city hall; that he has in
spected the plumbing department and
found it full of leaks; that the city
chamberlain has been caught driving
a team of bays; that the street rail-
ways are grasping and corrupt, and
many other terrible things. Principal
ly ne discovers that the police depart
ment is rotten to the core, and that
is where he begins work.
