THE sELpEN PATENT INVALID.


THE sELDEN PATENT INVALID.
The owners and prospective pur-
chasers Of automobiles will be inter-
ested in the decision of the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals, re-
yersing the decision of the court be-
low, which upheld the notorious
selden patent. selden was a patent
attorney, and away back in 1879 ne
filed broad application for pat
ent no "a safe, simple and cheap
road locomotive, light in weight
easy to control, and possessed OF
sufficient power to overcome any
ordinary inclination" Then he per-
mitted his application to lie dormant
for sixteen years. During that time
the automobile industry developed
wonderfully, and many inventors
working independently had produced
machines embodying all the claims
made by Selden. Then the selden
patent issued, and, IL valid, it seri.
ously menaced the manufacturers
and users of every gasoline automo'
bile in the country. Many automo-
bile manufacturers acknowledged ths
validity OF this Selden patent ant
paid royalties to its owner. Others
denied its validity and appealed t.
the courts for the protection OF theil
rights. Judge Hough, Of the Unitet
States Circuit Court, rendered
decision sustaining the patent but
as stated above, his decision ha'
been overruled. The appellate cour
finds against the patent on question
OF fact, and that practically ends th
litigation.
Vast sums have been paid in roya
ties by the licensed dealers, to tn
owner Of this .selden patent, wher
as it has now been decided, the
were under no legal obligation t
pay anything.

FREEDOM in 1912"
From the Des Moines News.

from the lies MOlLeS news.
It's large order, but some of the
most earnest and trustworthy REFORM
ers in the United States have launch
ed plan to bring it to pass. This
is the plan:
They have formed the Progressive
Federation. 1t is composed OF prom
inent men Of both leading parties who
agree on the proposition that they
want the country to go forward on
progressive lines-republicans lih
La Toilette. Cnmmins and Pinchot;
democrats like Bryan. Newlands and
Folk, together with the editors Of
most of the advanced periodicals,
like McClure's. Golfers, Hampton's
and Success.
That's the first point-that It is a
bipartisan movement and aims to
control both parties. Just as the big
interests have done.
Next, 1t invites all legal voters to
participate N a postal ballot, nam
ing their first, second and third
choice for the presidential pomination
OF their party-republicans naming
three republican candidates IN the
order Of their choice, aud democrats
naming three democrats. By this
means it is expected that millions Of
voters will have expressed q pref
erence long before the national con.
ventions. tl
But that is not aN the voters
are also asked to sign a pledge agree
ing to "attend the elections within
my party for the coming two years.
and to vote only for progressive del.
egates to state and national conven
tions. delegates who have declared
for first, second and third choice
for presidential nominee" BY this
means 1t is hoped to harvest results
and make both partiea squarely Pro
gressivee In 1912, instead q permit
ing both to be reactdonary as might
otherwise happen.
It will require work, vigilance and
above all, good faith. But the end
sought is momentous. II you believe
in 1t, get busy and push It along.

This sentiment, expressed at the

real fight for the honor Of being
democratic standard bearer in 1912
lies between Harmon and Clark.

and bigger every day. His friends
profess to believe that he has an in
