PROGRESS|VES FACE
CRISIS BEFORE THE
CLOSE Of CONGRESS
Senate Insurgents Threat
ened With Trouble by
Reciprocity.

That the progressive movement in the
Republican party, so far at least as it's
present leadership is concerned, is at a
crisis. and that it's future success or
failure will be written before the end
of the extra session of Congress, is the
oeIlef widely entertained here.
Ihe House progressive Republicans have
TO a large extent gone to pieces In the
extra session by reason Of their failure
to grasp hold Of the questions of reci-
procity and tariff revision, and deal with
them consistently with their past
record. While some of the House in
surgents have supported reciprocity
from first to last, and lined up with
the Democrats to revise the wool
Sschedule. ignoring party lines complete
ly' the most OF the progressives have
seen ft to ally themselves with Uncle
Joe" Cannon, John DalzeIl, Serene E.
Payne of New York, and other high
tariff men.
The House progressives have under
such circumstances come in for severe
criticism from former supporters. That
Is, the bulk of them have. Now. Il is
up othe Senate progressives to keep
themselves out of the hole into which
the House progressives have fallen.
Much depends for the Senate pro-
gressive leaders on whether they are
going 10 be able to make good.
Senator La Toilette has much at stake
in this situation. So do Senators like
Cummins. R:istow, Clapp and others
who might be mentioned, for that mat
ter. But Senator La Toilette is Pres
idential candidate, practically out In the
open. II he Doesn't win now, he hopes
to win in 1916. II La Toilette falls down
In trying to convince Congress. and
more especially to convince the country
that tariff revision ought to be included
with reciprocity, he will weaken him
self, but on the other hand, If he does
what he hopes and expects to. he will
be stronger than ever.
The situation. difficult at best, Is
made the moro difficult by the fact that
IL La Toilette and his progressive COL
leagues fight against the reciprocity
bill unless H. is amended they WILL to
an extent. be aligning themselves with
some of the Republican Old Guard
leaders. like GallinGer, Smoot and 9TH
ers, who are anxious to kill of reciproc-
ty. Such a strange alliance obviously
will require considerable explanation.

With Mrs. S. w. Graffiin, the wife
of the pastor of the Anacostia Metho-

her sick bed, in Providence Hospital,

which she is slowly recovering.
An effort is to be made to obtain

So many automobile and motorcycle
speeders pass through this locality
that it is believed the services of a
motorcycle man are necessary to

DEMOCRATS HAVE
PREPARED GENERAL
REVISION SCHEME
House Majority Ready to
Proceed With All
Schedules.

Champ Clark's purpose to have the
House grind out separate schedule
tariff bills as rapidly as possible and
send them over to the Senate If that
body gives evidence Of disposition for
general tariff revision is not in the
least impractical, say Democratic lead
ers in the House and Senate.
Ihey say the plan Is not out of
joint with the notion Of careful inVes-
tigation Of schedules before they are
revised.
As a matter of fact, the leaders
mittee members have been getting
ready for just such a situation for
months That committee has a vast
fund OF Information on hanG Sppertain-
ing to the various schedules.
Six months ago nearly all the Demo-
Gratis in the House framed up their
Ways and Means Committee. As soon
appointed, and those subcommittee
went to work with experts to probe into
the operation of each tariff schedule.
Representative ILitchln was given
wool. Representative Rainey was given
cotton. Representative Harrison was
given the chemical schedule, Represent
ative Underwood was given iron and
steel, and SO on. Each member has
been making 1t his special business to
look into the workings Of some especial
schedule. At the same time. 1t has
been his business to work out into
bill a revision of that schedule.
The mere fact that only a free list
bill and a wool bill have been reported
from Ways and Means, in addition to
reciprocity, does not mean that the
committee is not prepared in short Or
der to hurry along bills on other sched-
ules. The work done by each subcom-
mittee, of course, has to be oyerhauled
and reviewed by the main committee At
tention is being giveE by the commit
tee now to the cotton bill. That will be
reported out in a short time.
Under these circumstances, House
leaders emphasize that II the House,
before the end of this special session,
puts through separate schedule bills
dealing with the important schedules of
the tariff, or all Of them. the work will
not have been done in haphazard fash

MILLION PATENTS IN
CENTURY IS RECORD
OF YANKEE GENIUS
Formal Ceremony to Mark
the Granting of the
Millionth One.

The genius of the Yankee. famed the
world over for his ingenuity, inven-
tive talent and resourcefulness, will
have a full demonstration in a short
time when Patent No. 1000 900 will
be issued. 1t is expected that the
number will be reached within a few
weeks.
Who will get it is, of course, not
known. 1t was related at one time
that 1t would be reserved for some
notable invention, but this statement
was incorrect. Commissioner of Pat
ents Edward B. Moore today said that
patents would continue to issue in the
old and regular way, taking due
course as they were entered and ap-
proved.
The million patents will have been
Issued in approximately Ill years.
Samuel Hopkins got the first one July
81, 1880. 1t was of a device for max
ing pot and pearl ashes.
Patents In the Old Days.
The granting of patent in those days
was a great matter. whether it was for
making pot and pearl ashes or wooden
nutmegs. If those silent testimonials to
Yankee smartness had ever been given
the grace of a Governmental grant.
Samuel Hopkins patent created a great
stir because it was the first. The pot
and pearl ashes that he made were not
much different from the pot and pearl
ashes that a great many other persons
made. Pot and pearl ashes, you know,
are the matter remaining after evapora-
ton when vegetable matter is refined
in crucible or furnace, the extractive
substance being burned off and dissi-
pated. The pot and pearl ashes are the
solid, Just as the lye is the liquid re-
naming.
But, at any rate, Samuel Hopkins and
the patentees who came after him,
were made much of by everybody.
Presidents and their Cabinets used to
have the inventors and patentees sought
out and presented, and formal compli-
ments were passed. and the patentees
country along.
Scrutinized By President.
The President and his Cabinet like
wise scrutinized all the applications for
patents, and they rejected a great many
of them. In that year of 1790 only three
sets OF letters patent issJed. Thomas
Jefferson, during his Presidency, is
said to have made especially stringent
rules because of his fear that Govern
ment gratis might aid private monop-
olies. In that way, the patentees were
much complimented, while it was being
fully determined whether they had
something that the Government thought
worth patenting.
Commissioner Moore said today that
the granting of the millionth patent
would be a notable event in the his
be a tribute to their intelligence and
progress.
