have been made through patent owner
ship. Many more have been made by
patent purchase or tricky acquisition.
The record OF happiness brought by in
ventions to their creators is fully matched
by that Of distress and wretchedness suf-
fered by the disappointed. inventors who
have overestimated the earning value of
their ideas. or who have seen their con-
ceptions develop to technical success only
to become the property Of others with
larger capital or less conscience.
Every Door American boy has without
doubt had his dream of wealth produced
by some new, revolutionary invention.
This chance has greatly stimulated the
production Of patent-claiming contrivances
and has in turn FASTENED the day OF the
milIionth certificate. The country is un-
doubtedly the richer and more comfort
able for this process. and despite the fact
that many Of the million have been COM
mercially worthless II Is desirable to
mark the issue OF that interesting bit of
official paper in way to call attention to
the remarkable fertility of the American
powers Of invention.

The Millionth Patent.

In a short time the United States will
issue the millionth patent certificate
granted since the institution Of the gov
eminent and preparations are now I'M
der way to mark the event f1ttingly. II
is no doubt appropriate that some note
be paid to the passing of such signif-
icant figure, attesting SO pointedly to the
American inventive genius. But there Is
danger Of overestimating the value Of the
million inventions. II is to be borne in
mind that certificate OF patent Is not
necessarily an official recognition OF value
or worth 1t is the governments guar
antee of priority and novelty OF invention.
The patent office files filled with rec
ords OF inventions which, while tech
nically entitled TO patents, are neverthe-
less wholly useless Some are freaks of
mechanical ingenuity, some are but the
passing notes of advancement toward
genuine achievements, but all are evil
dence of the eagerness with which all
sorts and conditions of men are seeking
short cuts to results, better ways of do
ing things. the attainment OF the pre-
viously impossible.
Probably no other country in the world
has ever held the elements making for
inventiyeness possessed by this. Draw
ing enterprising people from all parts and
climates. and faced also by the necessity

An American Institution.

This is indubitably a civilized country.
1t has colleges and schools. art galleries
and automobiles, an established society
and millionares. courts and insane asy-
lums, trusts and theaters. churches and
sports and all manner Of things and in
situations pertaining to a high state OF
social organization. Yet It is reminded
shockingly from time to time of its moral
shortcomings. It is the boast of enthusi-
astic Americans that there is no longer a
decades ago the wilderness crowded close
upon the area of culture. The criminal
record, however. does not altogether jus
tify the claim that the days OF savagery
are at an end. Almost every twenty
four hours a new item is added to the
Indictment against American civilization.
Now 1T Is 1ynching conducted by a. mob of

responsible. but which has been imported
from ITALY. One of the most frequent
forms Of barbaric enterprise is the hold

Kentucky for Taft.

II is stated that the Kentucky repub-
licans in state convention soon to he held
will indorse Mr.. Taft for denomination.
Sentiment In favor of the step is unani-
nous. and is voiced by nobody with more
earnestness than by the man who is to
head the partys state ticket. Judge
O'Rear pays tribute to Mr.. Taft or tive
scores. hailing him as one of the fore

administration Of the country's affairs.
He is glad to enroll himself as Taft
man.
This Is change from the situation Of

Ing the choice Of a presidential candi-
date. Mr.. Fairbanks. living just across
the Ohio river. had an influential follow
ing in the state. and 1t was headed by
Mr.. Bradley. whose election to the
United States Senate had added material
ly to an already considerable prestige.
But the Taft forces won, and at Chicago
Kentucky appeared in the Taft column.
Later. the distribution Of patronage in
the state did not please the Taft men.
Some Of them complained that the Fair
banks people were too generously recog-
nized. A number Of the best places were
bestowed on those who had been strongly
anti-Taft In the contest for presidential
instructions, while men who had helped
to carry the day for Mr.. Taft were pass
ed over.
Evidently, however. whatever feeling
against Mr. Taft was aroused by that
matter has subsided. All the men now in
action are Taft men, and the promise is

There was a time when the Bluegrass

majority on election day was anywhere
from twenty to forty thousand. the figure
depending somewhat on the weather. and
somewhat on the spellbinding that had
marked the campaign.
But that time Is getting to be remote.
Organism drove gold democrats out OF
