issued. The congress will convene ut
Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 2 to ., inclusive,
and the early appointment of delegates
is urged; also that the name and

forwarded to the Secretary at Denver.
The main purpose of the convention
is 10 bring out the opinions and sug-
gestlons of all Interested in mining,
upon all matters that need considera-
tion There are many questions that
demand attention, and chief among
these Is the safety Of men engaged in
mining operations. It Is pointed out
in the Call that an appropriation OF

for the purpose of conducting inves-
LEGATIONS as to the cause of mine dis
asters. As a result Of this legislation

FALsE PRETENsEs.

A peculiar feature of every important
campaign is the cocksure prognosticar
lions OF victory made by campaign
managers. Party leaders are modest
indeed II they do not claim everything
for their party. To the average OBJ
server it is obvious that campaign
managers know very little beforehand
of how an election will go. But they
never admit their ignorance They al
ways know ahead, almost to vote,
how the election Will turn out.
Persons who reflect know, of course.
that such ante-election predictions are
absolutely worthless. They know that
they have been upset time and again
They know, furthermore, that the tig-
ures given out for publication seldom
renresent tho candid opinion OF those
who issue them. In other words, the
object is deception. Why should the
nonsense be INDUCED in at every cam
paign?
Marrow partisans delight, perhaps. TO
! SEQ the statements OF their managing
| geniuses They love to dwell for a
! time in Il FOOLS paradise. 1t inay also
be that some voters never express any
principle or conviction in the voting
but always vote with what they con-
slider the winning side. Bold false
hoods as to the certainty Of victory
may be calculated to secure that kind
| of vote. but it would be Just as well
in the future if it We're understood that
| the ante-election assurances that are
based on nothing are not legitimate
| campaign ammunition. The elimina-
lion of deliberate prevaiication from
! campaigns would be a distinct moral
| gain 10 the country.

LAW or STOLEN LETTERS.

i L. T. + 4 Z : &
The publication OF the Archbolt
jus, ended has given rise to an inter-
esting investigation of the law as tt
stolen letters
These communications, 1t Will be
recalled, We're taken surrepitiously
from the flies Of the Standard Oil
Company.
In the current issue OF Bench e. Bar
that magazine says that the literary
property in letter belongs to the
writer and publication of it by any
other person without his consent is
an actionable wrong.
An English case was SO decided as
early as l741tPope vs.. Curb relating
to the publication Of the letters OF
Alexander. Tie contention of the
defense Was that since the letters
related only to familiar subjects, and
contained inquiries after the health
of friends, and that the book could
not be called Il learned work, there
could be no literary property in them
But Lord Hardwicke. in deciding that
the letters were the literary property
of the person who wrote them, made
the following comments;
ut is certain that no works have
done more service to mankind, than
those which have appeared In this
shape, upon familiar subjects, and
which perhaps We're never intended to
be published, and 1t is this makes
them SO valuable; for i must confess
q for my own part. that letters which
are very deliberately written, and ORR
ginally intended for the press, are
generally the most INSIGNIFICANT. and
very little worth any persons road
Ing.
In 1918 Lord Eldon in Gee vs.,
Pritchard held that an Injunction
should be granted in the case of
purely private and personal letters.
1t therefore appears that the writer
OF letter, who has not consented to
its publication. may sue TO restrain
the act.
But the recipient of letters. has
only a property in the paper on which
they are written He cannot enjoin
their publication by others.
Judge Duer, in an elaborate opinion
has held that an authors right to
restrain publication of private let
ters exists in this country as in Eng
land, subject to the qualification tha;
the recipient may III some cases pub
&lisli such letters when necessary for
his own yindication.
Where letters are published with
out the writer's consent, he may
have an action at law against the
person publishing them; and publica-
ton in these cases has been held to
mean multiplying copies by means
of printing, writing. or otherwise. and
circulating or distributing them; so
that there would, therefore, bc{no OBJ
lection to the recipient reading them
10 others in public or private. n
BY means of equity proceedings
the writer's of letters may get an in
junction against the person attempt-
ing to publish them and SO restrain
their publication.
4 of letters Is larceny, The New York
Penal Code expressly makes a mis-
delneanor to take without authority
letter, telegram, or other private
paper or copy thereof, as it does
also the publication of any such
paper by one who knows it to have
been obtained without authority.
1t is not known that any proceed
ings are contemplated in the case OF
tho publication of the Archbold let
tiers by Mr. Hearst.
