They Might Cease to Wonder.

The Chicago Record-Herald has per
formed remarkable sOmersault, even
for a republican newspaper.
Last spring the Record-Herald con-
Quoted a sustained and vigorous cam
paign in favor of bipartisan bench
for the city of Chicago.
The RecOrd-Herald even went so far
as to print sample ballots i'll its col
umns, showing how the bipartisan
judges should be apportioned among
the democrats and the republicans.
That was only last spring
In last Saturdays issue the Chicago
Record Herald, referring to the Fourth
judicial district campaign, opposed the
idea of keeping the supreme court of
the state of Illinois bipartisan.
This question naturally arises: If a
bipartisan bench was such an excel
lent thing for the people of Chicago. a
bipartisan supreme court could not
fail to be an excellent thing for the
people of Illinois generally.
AS a matter OF fact. the supreme
court of Illinois has been bipartisan
for 50 years. which long test has been
eminentIy satisfactory.
Many people will wonder at this as
tonishing somcrsault of the Record
Herald-until they think of Roy o.
West, when they may not wonder so
much.
Roy O. West. who said. Il will use
all the influence at my command in
behalf of Milton McCure's candidacy"
Roy o. West is chairman of the state
republican committee: chairman of the
Cook county board OF review, and at
torney for over 200 corporations in the
city of Chicago.

Book Trust Drops Mask.

Chicago Journal: When robbery OF
public schools by the textbook mOno?-
oily was exposed by The Journal. PUB
fishers united in denial that a trust
existed They declared thai in no
business was competition more keen.
and that intense rivalry between pub
fishers was responsible for most of the
evils of which the public complained.
These statements were echoed by SUI
perintendents, principals and many
school officials. Some of them were
'credulouS dupeS of shrewd agents.
Others knew better. They were of the
class known as friendly to the trusi.
When the school book question was
before the legislature the same plauS-
ible arguments were repeated Law
makers were told that the idea of a
school book trust was a mere buga-
boo. invented by INSCRIPTIONS and en-
vious publishers.
In view of recent conduct of the
book companies, the mendacity of this
plea Is apparent. From the day on
which the Ettelson bill became a law
book publishers have acted as one
man. officials of the big companies
set together in their main offices in
Chicago Their attorneys were calIei
i'll. Schemes to defeat operation OF
the law were suggested.
Finally it was decided that it was
useless to attack the constitutionalitv
of the bill i'm the courts So it was
agreed to ignore it. The big publish
ers refused to file their books as re.
quirCd by law Smaller concerns,
who had been represented as swapping
yiciously at the heels of their more
successful rivals. promptly fell into
line
From that time the mask was
dropped. All prctcnse OF competition
was abandoned With one single ex-
ception. every school book publisher
that does business in Illinois has fol
lowed to the letter the trust policy.
Aided by weak connivance on the
part of some school officials. the com.
biue has intCrpOsed every possible OBJ
stacle to the full operation of the law.
BIT the opening has been made. The
law is on the statute books. and t
provides the only way in which the
trust can obtain the school book bust
ness of Illinois, which amounts to mil
lions of dollars every year
The book ring is fighting for time.
Its managers hope that sentiment
against its eXtortions will subside and
that the next legislature will be more
to its influence.
In the meantime the absolute soli-
iarity of the trust organization has
been demonstrated. 1t is the book
ring against the schools and the peo-
pie Will not abandon a single adval-
raSc that has been gained.

Don't Omit the Singing Chorus.

The Mantle Express. a republican
newspaper. of course. speaks in glow
ing terms of Mr. McCIure's canvass
over the district
All this is well enough. but while the
Express has gone into considerable
detail, it is noted with painful regret
that the item makes no mention Of Mr.
McCIure'S singing chorus.
The Express may rest assured that
MIR. Mcclure will be much displeased
at the omission of any mention of this
notable attraction of his campaign.
When a candidate for judge of the
supreme court takes along with him
in his canvass a fetching singing ChO
rus. the republican newspaper that
does not recognize the Importance and
value of the vocal feature is no friend
of Mcclure.
Mr.. Mcclure understands, if the I'M
fortunate Express does not. the ire
mendous value of the singing chorus
i'm this judicial campaign. The swell
ing notes of Nelly BLY," alone are suf-
ticient to absolutely Overwhelm all the
arguments in favor of keeping our SUI
preme court bipartisan. and as the
familiar strains of Ben Bolt" peal
forth in the ambient air. what voter in
the audience could fail to be convinced
that George A. Cooke should not be
elected judge of the supreme court?

the election of nominee who was
foisted upon his party by committee

fourth of the republicans of the dis
tTict.
McCIures' election would be taken
as a condonement of the burlesque ac-
tons of the Macomb republican con-
vention. which Disguised republicans
throughout the state.
The election of Mcclure would be a
most unwise and injurious precedent,
in violation of the established policy
of the state. which has kept the su
preme court bipartisan for 80 years.
The manner of Mr. McClure's cam

Cooke and Mcclure.

The indications are that majority
of the voters of this district have al
ready made up their minds to elect
Hon. George A. Cooke judge of the
supreme court next Saturday.
Any voter still in doubt would do
well to consider these facts III favor of
Mr. Cookies election:
Mr.. Cooke is an able lawyer and well
qualified for the position.
His ability and qualifications for
the position are so generally recog-
nized over the state thac his election
would lend prestige to the supreme
court.
Mr.. Cooke possesses a judicial tenn
permanent to a notable degree and has
always been hard worker.
Our state supreme court has been BIZ
partisan for 80 consecutive years. Dur
ing all of that period there have never
been less than two democratic judges
sometimes there were three. The
election of Mr. Cooke, who is person
ally a democrat. would keep our SUI
preme court bipartisan.
Although one of the brainicst men
in Illinois. Mr.. Cooke is a thorough
man of the people, who shares their
love for popular government and their
love of Justice.
Mr. Cookies election would entail no
obligation to any unworthy influence.
The manner of his nomination and
the manner of his canvass of the dis
trict have been in harmony with the
Of IN ,,.h; l,r
aspires.
George a. Cooke should he elected
to the supreme court because he would
make an ideal judge of the supreme
court
There are innumerablC good and suf.
iiCiCnt reasons why Milton +. Mcclure
should not be elected Judge of the SUI,
pTCmc court.
His election would make the supreme
court partisan. thereby breaking u wise
and just policy which has lasted 50
years.
Mr.. Mcclure is under great obliga-
tons to OvilIc F. Berry. through
whose manipulatiOns Mcclure was
nominated by the committee. Mcclure
is under great obligations to Roy o.
West, Deneens' bosom friend. chair
man of the Cook county board of re-
view and attorney for over 200 Chi
cagO corporations. However. Mr. Nc
Clure might disregard these obliga-
tons if elected. the fact that he is I'M
der such obligations to such influences
would cause criticism of the court.
MCClure's election would deprive al
most half the people of Illinois of rep
resentation on the supreme court
bench, which fact would tend to create
political distrust of the highest court
in the state.
The election of Mcclure would be
taken as meaning that the majority of
this district had deliberately. in a jul
dicial campaign, deprived the minority
party of recognition it had enjoyed
for almost 40 years.

Copyrighted News.

Commander Peary contracted in adj
vance of his discovery of the north
pole to furnish the New York Times
with an exclusive narrative of his feat,
the Times paying him $4,000, which
was to be refunded in the event of his
failure to reach the pole.
Peary kept his agreement and cabled
the news to the Times, which in turn
brokered it to the London Times and
to a few American newspapers pub
Iished outside the Times territory.
Upon the publication of Peary's story
in New York, the New York World
and the Herald used the facts contain
ed therein as the basis for a narrative
in their own columns. whereupon the
Times management applied for and
was refused an injunction restraining
the publication of the news on the
ground that it was copyrighted.
Judge Grosscup in Chicago ruled diff
ferently. and restrained the Hearst
newspapers on petition of the Chicago
Tribune. which was authorized to use
the Pcary story under the New York
Times copyright.
Two diametrically opposite decisions
on the question of law leave doubt i'll
the mind of the layman as 10 which de
cision is sound.
The principle of the copyright and
patent laws are identical. Ii one writes
a book. he may be protected by copy
right against its unauthorized publica-
ton in whole or in part. The book is
the fruit of the authors labor, and be
ing entitled to compensation for his
labor. he is entitled to the protection
of copyright for a period of time sufi-
cient to give him his reward, and yet
for period not so long as to shut
society out of the enjoyment of it cX-
cept on the terms fixed by him.
So with inventions. the inventor is
entitled to the fruits of his labor and
the patent laws secure these to him
for a limited period of time.
Underlying the principle of special
privilege to the author and inventor is
the thought that society has a right To
the fruits of their creation for its u.s.
and benefit after the lapse of II years
at the minimum and rs years at the
lllGAlinliln
Not every discovery OF something
useful to society avails himself of the
special privilege permitted him. Thus
the psychologists who discover the
germs of disease and evolve serums or
toxins for combating or for the cure of
disease, infrequently patent their dis
cOveries. They feel that they are COM
penSated for their labor in the benefit
they bestow upon suffering humanity.
They do not measure valua in the scale
of money.
If the diScOversr of the anti-toXin
used in diphtheria or the vaccine used
in the prevention of smallpox. or the
serum recently discovered for the pre-
vCntiOn of typhoid fever had patented
their discoveries and put a high price
on the preparations. they would work
irTeparablc harm to the poor unable
to pay the price and would walk hand
in hand with the grim reaper. saying
to The sufferers. Pay my price or die"
1t is to the everlasting glory of those
engaged in meteorological research
that they put above riches the welfare
of the human race.
