This nation has cause for pride IN the
announcement that within q few weeks
the million mark will be reached in the
number OF patents issued The event "a
worthy OF notice and II would be well "a
make this milestone In the material
progress OF the nation.
No other people on earth ever showed
the Inventive genius seen In the United
States. The steamboat the telegraph. the
telephone, the aeroplane and other wonder
ful inventions are too well known to de-
serve comment Thousands Of labor-savtnK
devices. such as the sewing machine cotton
gin, mower and reaper. have done more 70
alleviate the condition Of mankind than any
other factor outside of the abolition OF
slavery.
This nation has made progress in the
| mechanical and fine arts Commensurate
with our wonderful national growth. A
heterogeneous people we have become
analgamatsd by the talents and ability
of our leaders In politics and the mschAni-
cal arts. We have assimilated millions
from foreiKn shores. because OF our liberal
form OF government and because OF equal
opportunities offered. But every step for
ward In this country has been either d.
rectly due to or Is closely allied with that
wonderful faculty for delving into untried
fields with resultant good TO all people.

Merits of Voting Machines.

Chicago is wrestling with the ques-
ton of installing voting machines and
In the interval playing battledore and
shuttlecock with arguments pro and
con for which Omaha's experience
leaves no room for guess work.
The mechanical recording Of votes,
that is what the voting machine does,
is a distinct improvement over the
paper ballot in Just this one respect,
that 1t gives an instantaneous and &C
curate count the moment the polls are
closed. AS to cost of conducting an
election there is little, II any, differ
ence. The machine is not proof
against fraud, or repeating, or colo
nizing any more than is the ballot
the honesty of an election Sits down
to the honesty Of the election officers
and Of the voters.
The voting machine directly infiu-
ences the election by practically fore
ing straight party tickets, because the
effort required for and the confusion
consequent on attempts to scratch
make the party lever the easy way out.
There might be great deal said In
favor of the. voting machine, without
the party lever, providing only few
elective ofices were to be filed, but
the chances are that such a machine
offering the present multiplicity Of
candidates to choose from would be
like going from frying pan into fire.
On the other hand, the short ballot
and the voting machine together might
be real step toward election reform.

The War department authorities are con-
sidering the bearing which section 2S9 OF
the United States criminal code has upon
the playing OF the game OF base ball on
Sunday on military reservations situated
within the confines OF the STATE OF Massa-
chusetts. That section has for It's purpose
to assist the United States in preserving
lawful conditions upon a military reserYa-
ton and not the interference with any in
strumentality OF the United States, when
the exercise OF Il would come in conflict
with the local law and the surrounding
community. All those things may be done
upon a reservation on Sunday or any other
day which are deemed requisite for the
benefit OF the army or for the purpose for
which the reservation exists. Drill, pa
rade and military exercises generally-and
these would appear TO include athletic ex-
ercises now considered to be a regular
feature OF the physical and moral training
OF the soldier-may not be interfered with
by the local Law. This is the att'tude
which IL assumed by the military authori-
ties. The enforcement OF the Massachu-
sets laws on a military reservation must
be had in a court Of the United States and
the proper person to direct the prosecution
would be the United States attorney foE the
district in which the reservation is situ-
sted. Under the letter Of the law the game
Of base ball upon q military reservation In
