movement is on foot in the
national House of Representatives to
do away with the desks now used by
the members and return again to
benches. This change has been recon-
mcndcd by.a commission created at the
last session to devise ways and means
for demonstrating the chamber. 1t Is
argued that since the erection OF the
large office building so connected with
the Capitol that the members Of the
House may carry on the general work
which devolves upon them in caring for
the interests of their constituents in
comparative seclusion and yet be with
in call of the House at all times, there
is no longer any need of the desks in
the hall of the House itself. Again.
there is every reason to believe that
there will be an increase IN MEMBER
ship based upon the returns of the next
census, inasmuch as there has been
a growing disposition in Congress to
recognize the fact that there is limit
to the number of people that one man
can serve to Washington efhclently,
and that the growth of the nation will
naturally call for some growth in the
number Of representatives sent to the
national capital.

A Patent Court.

The comments of the American press
make it very evident that the sugges-
ton to establish patent court to have
final jurisdiction in all matters affect
ing patents has met with very general
favor and commentator. Patent suits
are in the very nature of things largely
technical in their character and should
be passed upon by experts. The
handling of such litigation in the same
courts that other suits are tried in is
wrong in theory and far from satsfac-
tory in results. This class of litigation
has especially been heavy burden
upon the judges of the supreme court.
1t has given this tribunal for many
years contested docket and has taken
much time that was impcratively
needed for the considering Of other
matters.
The patent office is one of the de-
realizes large profit. and there is no
reason why portion of the amount
which it now turns into the national
treasury should not be expended in the
establishment of tribunal which
would afford a speedy trial in oil
patent cases, under conditions favor
able for the securing of practical
justice. AS it is now, this class of
litigation sometimes drags along for
years involving expenses that is often
very burdcnSomc to inventors who seek
to enforce their rights in the courts
To such an extent has this been true
that inventors have not for many
years been able to secure the full pro-
lection from the government which it
is supposed to give to them. Not
only would a patent court enable the
men whose genius contributes to the
progress of civilization to maintain
their rights, but there is every reason
to believe that it would operate to
stimulat" them to greater effort.
