New-York tribune., 1910-01-09

English authors and publishers are now alb
sorbed in consideration of the report of the
Law of Copyright Committee which has just
items. The salient proposal made is that the
term for protection over literary property
should he seriously extended At present il
stands "at f0rtytwO years, or seven years from
the death of the author whichever period hap
pens to be the longer" The new measure would
protect an author during his life and continue
TO protect the literary property left by him for
fifty years after his death. No arguments
against this very reasonable proposition have
yet been advanced Incidentally the COM
mittee dealt with some other interesting cues
items of copyright. For example. it is thought
desirable to protect "choreOgraphic works and
entertainments in dumb show which
depend practically upon costume and get-up
and dramatic action which is not dialogue or
music 1t appears also that architects ought
to have protection for works of original and
artistic character" This is rather odd de-
vclopment of the discussion of copyright and
The Spectator does not just how the
principle involved could be upheld. Wonder is
expressed, too, as TO whether the copying of
buildings is a sufficiently frequent grievance of
architects to make it worth while to frame leg
islation i'll the matter. Ierhaps not but surely
no harm could be done by the establishment of
an architectural copyright law and, besides
every disciplinary step that is taken with re-
gard to these things is step in the right direc
ton.

CAMPAIGN LETTER.

New York. The year 1910, in
its political aspects, is similar
in many ways to that of 1890,
twenty years ago. Then, as now,
the people seemed to be under
going state of great unrest,
and yet there was no reason for
it then any more than there is
now.
The country was extremely
prosperous in 1890; there was
f ull employment everywhere,
and we enjoyed the highest
wages up to that period, In re-
sponse to a general demand the
tariff was revised and a new
law called the Mckinley tariff,
went into effect about the first
Of October. There was no reas-
on whatever why prices should
be raised, but the people took
the Mckinley law as an excuse
ard raised the prices on every
thing that went into common
everyday use, and the campaign
Of that year was practically car
ried on by the Democrats with
the cry of Mckinley high prices,
and the Democrats elected a
majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives in the Fifty-second
Congress.
In spite of Democratic claims
to the contrary, the Mckinley
law at once proved successful in
every way and the years 1891
and 1892 were among the most
prosperous in our history; in
fact, a large portion of Presi-
dent Harrison's annual message
of 1892 was given up TO a state
ment of the splendid industrial
results of the year, but the state
of unrest was still on, and in
November, 1892, th people
elected a Democratic President,
and with him a Democratic
Senate and House of Represent
atives. Then came the awful

Blinking the Cerrymander.

FROM the Globe Democrat
Champ Clark writes a letter
in which he entirely ignores the
election figures we published,
showing that while his congress
sional district, the 9th. cast a
total of Al, 1872 votes in 1908, the
adjoining district, the 10th,
gerrymandered for this purpose,
cast total of 81, ,3lS votes. The
Republican vote GRAINED into the
10th District was larger than
the vote of all parties in the 9th
District. Mr.. Clark concentrates
his remarks on the fact that his
district in population is not far
from the congressional unit
1914, 1S2.
But how about the Sth Dis
trict, which is more than 80, $50
votes below the proper unit, or
the 10th, in which a population
of 260, 1877 was massed to get rid
of the heavy Republican vote in
some of the wards of St. Louis
and in st. Louis County? Mr..
Clark makes the point that his
district is about the right size
in population, without mention
ing the fact that the adjacent
10th District is about 1000 too
large. and another adjacent dis
trict, the Sth is 90 too small.
Let Mr.. Clark take the Sth, 9th,
and 10th districts together and
say what he thinks about the
outrageous gerryma a n d e r
in the part of the state where
he is hanging on to a seat in
Congress by outrageously un-
fair districting.

COInpdDItu DIS tney were Nv IL
nancial panic, industrial depres-
sion and general ruin through
out the country. which was
stopped only by the election of
Mckinley in 1896, and with him
a Republican Senate and House
Of Representatives.
1t is true that the Payne tariff
law will have been in operation
much longer preceding the
congressional election of this
year than was the Mckinley law
twenty years ago, and yet. in
spite of the splendid results that
have followed the Payne law in
the way of revenue and indus
trial activity, still the people are
restless, and the high prices of
the year attributable in no way
to the tariff. give the Democrats
a chance TO keep the people
stirred up with the contention
that a change would mean better
conditions all around.
1t is not believed, however.
that the experiences of 1890 will
be repeated. While it is true
that we have periodic Seasons of
unrest and occasional desires for
a political change, yet the lesson
which we learned during the
years following the Democratic
victory of twenty years ago
should be a warning to the peo-
pie that it would be very unsafe
indeed to elect a Democratic
house of representatives this
fall. If that should happen we
would still have a Republican
senate and a Republican presi-
dent, as we did during the fifty
second congress, but the Demo-
Gratis would play politics, as they
did then, and Democratic vic
tory this fall might be followed
by still wider Democratic vic
tory two years from now, and
with it the financial stagnatiou
that always accompanies a Dem
ocratic administration.
1t would be well. then, for the
yo.ers of the county to con
slider most seriously the his
| torical aspect OF the case and to
see if they Wish to repeat the
experiences of that period. The
younger generation should be
| told of that period and the dam
ger that would undoubtedly fol-
low a repetition of those condi-
tiOnS.
From a financial and industrial
standpoint we never were better
off than at present, and as soon
as midsummer dullness in some
lines of activity is over, we
shall, no doubt, enter a most
prosperous period in every line
of business throughout the coun-
try. Even now many factories
are running day and night, while
the railroads are taxed to their
utmost to transport the freight
that is offered. The situation
was never better, and even the
high prices of the past few
months are beginning to tumble,
while there will be no thought
of reducing wages so long as
the Republican party remains in
power. II the Democrats, how
ever, should be successful this fall
and again two years from now,
there would, no doubt, he the
greatest financial panic and the
largest industrial slump that
ever came to us, with a subse-
quent closing of the mills and a
large reduction in wages for
those who might remain at work.
This is no idle guess: it is just as
inevitable as that the night fol-
lows the day.

One Trip Nearly Paid for Schooner.

of the 14-ton schooner Eliza Benner
of Edgartown offered 10000 pounds of
fish to buyers at the exchange. No
one believed that a schooner the size
of the Benner would attempt rounding
Cape Cod at this season so deeply
loaded. But the captain had recently

he could reach Boston at a time of
high prices he might be able to nearly
pay her purchase price.
