Federal Court Grants Plea of Wrigh
Brothers

New York, Dec 13.-The Federal
Circuit court has granted an injunc
ton prohibiting Claude Grahame-
White from making exhibition fights
in this country on the ground that
the machines he uses infringe the
Wright patents. The plea OF the
Wright brothers for an accounting of
the profits made here by the English
aviator. however was dismissed by
Judge Hand who sat on the case, on
the technical ground that Grahame-
White was not formally notified in
advance that his machines were in
Engagements and on the further
ground that the Wright aeroplanes
bore no plate or other indication that
they had been patented. Mr. Ora
hame- White said that the decision
would probably mean that he would
return to England and devote himself
to the manufacture OF aeroplanes
there. He said that his factory at
Hendon has just been completed and
that he will soon be able to turn out
ten machines a week
Grahame-White arrived in New
York on Thursday last from England
on board the Olympic He planned
TO give exhibition fights in San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and other cities.
He has the reputation OF having made
more money through flying than any
other aviator in the business. BY a
decision OF the International Aeronau.

the end of last month, the prize OF
$4,000 for the Statue of Liberty

White in November, 1910 papers be-
ing served on him just on the eve of
his departure for England, after the
Belmont park international meet. The
Wright company sought to restrain
the English aviator from alleged in.

damages from him for the use OF the
Farman biplane and Bleriot mono
plane Several similar suits were be

LONGEVITY of Weed Seeds.

Thirty-two years ago a Massa-
chusetts professor took seeds from
twenty-five different kinds of plants
mixed them with sand. and placed
them in pint bottles, which we're
buried mouth downward in the soil.
At the fifth. tenth, fifteenth, twenti-
eth, twenty-fifth and thirtieth years
after burying the seeds, the pro-
feSsOr tested them to see whether
they would grow. At the end of
the thirtieth year the following
weeds still had sufficient vitality to
terminate: Pig weed, black must
ard, shepherds purse, pepper grass,
dock. foxtail and chick weed. At
the end of the 25th year all of these
grew, and in addition. purslane and
smart weed terminated. 1t is in
teresting to note that while the
purslane and smart weed germina-
ted all right at the end of the twen-
ty-fifth, twentieth, fifteenth and
tenth year, they did not grow we'll
at the end of the fifth year This
trial did not include some Of cur
old friends, such as the velvet
weed, cOcklebur, morning glory
which we feel sure would have
terminated with the best (wOrse)
of them.
The professor says that all of the
seed do not terminate evenly, that
is, when he first moistenS the soil a
number of them terminate, and
then after he dries the soil and
moistens it again a few more come
on. 1t seems that variations in
moisture and temperature are
necessary in order to get them all
to Sprout. No doubt this quality is
an important advantage to a bad
weed, since if the seeds all sprouted
when favorble conditions were given
they might easily all be destroyed
This test is a discouraging one tc
farmers, pointing out as it does that
even the cleanest cultivation car
not hope to rid the soil of weeds
until many years have passed. anc
that one year of bad management
is enough, as far as many ofour wors
weeds are concerned, to furnish
seed for trouble for a third of a cen
fury or more. -Wallace's Farmer.

An Opinion On Socialism.

QUO llOo lliC AcAAO"AAAG W Hoy VA NhS
subject of Socialism,
In your comment on Socialism
last week you printed an extract
from a letter in which the writer
says that all great minds Gncluding
YOURSELF advocate Socialistic theori-
es and then asks, why don't they
come out like good men and advo-
cate Socialism,"
1t seems to me the writer has
confused ideas as to what really
constitutes pure Socialism, which
is not surprising, for Socialism is
wholly an abstract idea, and for
that reason it is difficult for any one
to give a definite description of
Socialism as it actually would be
in practice.
Society and industry today are
founded upon the idea of individual
lism, while Socialism pure and sim
pie submerges the individual in a
level of common interests. Now,
the ideas advocated by many and
which are called Socialistic have
exactly the opposite end in view.
The end sought for is individualistic
not Socialistic.
The real motive which influences
those who are advocating the So
called Socialistic theories is to pro-
tect the rights of the individuals
who make up the Entertainments of
those who in there greed for wealth
assume special privileges which the
average man is not in a position
to get
The writer Of this believes Socia-
liSm wholly wrong and impractical.
His creed is, the greatest possible
individual opportunity for all, and
yet he is in favor of some things
which the writer quoted last week
calls Socialistic.
For example, | am in favor of
the complete control of railroads
by the government. | do not be-
lieve government ownership neces-
sary, Experience has shown that
each individual and community
does not enjoy equal privileges or
opportunity with the railroad, but
the big shipper who really has less
need of favors which are denied
small shippers. Transportation is a
vital necessity in the conduct of
our business and every man should
have equal chance, and if private
management cannot or will not
guarantee it, then the government
should. But is that Socialistic?
If man has a talent for doing
something better than his fellows,
he should be given every Opportuni-
ty to exercise and develop. that
talent to the utmost without trans
crossing upon the rights and oppor-
tunities of others. If a young man
has a genius for building up and
conducting great merchantile
business in a legitimate way he
should no more be held back to a
standard of mediocrity than should
! a master painter be kept decorating
post cards.
The labor unions come nearest

Used Goats for PloMind.

A resolute boy, living in Arkan-
saS, contrived to get his father to
pillow his contest acre according to
the Government method of deep
blowing. This is permitted by the
contest rules on condition that the
time of the man and the horse thus
employed is charged against the
crop. But when the time for cult
walton came, the boy found that all
the horses on the place we're not
only busy, but worked to their full
capacity. 1t was hard for the faith
er to share a team for so much as
a day, although he was in Sympa-
thy with the boys ambition. The
boy, however, decided that his acre
must be cultivated when it needed
cultivation and not when it was
convenient. When in this mood
his eye fell on the two goats which
inhabited the stable. They were
speedily broken to Cultivator" and
with them he did the entire work
of tending" his acre, which produc'
ed fifty bushels according to the
witnessed measurements. Elk.

Guardian-JOurnal: Judge Hall is

the meeting addressed by Judge Hall

hundreds of followers as his cam
paign progresses and il now looks as
if the candidate Of the Good Govern
Iment League will sweep the field and
lead the cause OF good government
to victory. He seems 10 be strong in
the large parishes Of South Louis
lana. IT has been practically con-
coded for some time that he would
carry st. Landry and Calcasieu, and
he has recently made a close cam
paign in a number of the central
parishes which are conceded to him.
He spoke in Alexandria last week TO
an immense audience and is sup
ported there by a large number Of
the leading and most influential cit
liens and politicians of Rapides par
ish. 1t is freely predicted that he
will carry that parish which has a
very large registered vote. In New

Hall and Mr.. Michel. Mr.. Aswell has
scarcely amy support there. The
league has thoroughly organized ev-
Iery precinct in the city. 1t has can

his vote will run pretty we'll up TO
