BRYAN ADVISES OHIO
ON FUNDAMENTAL LAW
Initiative, Referendum and Re-
call Urged Upon Constitu:
tionaI Convention.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 13-William
]. Bryan yesterday gave the Ohio con-
stitutional convention his views on the
making of the constitution. He spoke in
favor of the initiative. the referendum
and the recall. saying the recall is evolu-
ton rather than revolution. Mr.. Bryan
said
THE only difference between the recall
as now proposed and impeachment as it
has been employed is that in impeach-
ments the trial is before body of off
Gals. while the recall places the decision
in the hands of the people,
Mr.. Bryan said there was no darker
page in our industrial life then that which
recorded Indifference TO the welfare of
children. "the coming of dividends out of
childhood. the darkening of the prospects
of rising generation and the impover-
lshment of pOsterity.
In championing the initiative and refer-
endum. Mr.. Bryan said:
Experience has shown that the de-
fects of our government are not in the
people themselves, but in those who. act
ing as representatives of the people, en-
bezzle power and turn to their own adj
vantage the authority given them for the
advancement of the public welfare.
THE initiative and referendum do not
decrease the Importance of legislative
bodies. nor do they withdraw authority
from those who are elected to represent
the people; the contrary. when the
people have the initiative and referendum
with which to protect themselves they
can safely confer a larger authority upon
their representa- tives."
Concerning courts and the recall of
judges Mr. Bryan said:
1.-The judge. like every other officer. is
the servant of the people. and there is
no reason why he should be made indie
pendent of a permanent public opinion
| upon questions fundamental in character.
| The people are much more apt to deal
justly with the judges than they are to
receive justice at the hands of judges
who distrust the good intent Of the
/ masses
! Referring to taxation Mr.. Bryan said:
1.-The income tax is likely to be en-
ployed by the federal government, but
! that is no reason why it should not be
employed in the state. 1t is not double
| taxation to include tax upon Incomes
by both state and federal governments"

States are scattered machine shops and
manufacturing concerns from time 10
time making some slight advance of in
vention so that the concerns may improve
their machines and distinguish them from
those of rival concerns. 1t is the i'm
petus given by the hope of reward that
spurs these inventors. and the exchange
given the public is the disclosure by the
patent of all these ideas, building up art
after art so that in most cases long be-
fore the patentee has realized his lair

use the invention In almost every
branch of industry the machines. articles
and products of the day are FAR IN ad-
vance of the preceding generation be-
cause of these strenuous contests OF IN

tive race.
In short ii is the function and pur-
pose of patent monopoly to foster compe-
tition. There are. of course. abuses wh1ch

Gray Mare Familiar Figure for Past
Four Years Responding to

The next time some peevish person

the neighbors who stand around the
front gate with a curiosity born of long
experience in certain neighborhoods will
notice that Emergency Hospitals ambu-
lance has strange brown horse in the
shafts. This will be an innovation.
For matter of four years a finely bred
gray mare named Nell always attended
to matter so important as a severed
jugular vein. She was the best known
horse in the city, but yesterday she made
her last call and today is on her way to
Shirley, Va, where she will spend her
last days on the farm of DR.. A. r.
Stands of the Emergency Hospital staff.
She will be pensioned and in clover, and
will never again hear the stable bell
ring six times for hurryup case.
Along with Nell will go another am
bulance horse named Jim, and while
Jim was. quite a character in an am
bulance horse sense, lie did not reach
the fame which the gray mare attained.
Together these two horses, and a third
nameless animal. who has been on hand
only six months, made 10, 9eg round trips
to accidents.

Nell a Present to Hospital.

Four years ago a man in the Treasury
Department, whose name is given at the
hospital now as Idlen, owned Nell. and
was driving her around the speedway.
She ran away with him and broke his
shoulder. The surgeons at Emergency
attended his case and he practically
donated the mare to the institution.
After that Nell became the most famous
animal in the Districts medical circles.
She is grand trotter and could undoubt-
eddy hold her own on any track.
Nell was the administering angel, as 1t
were in e-fourths of every dangerous
emergency case that has happened in the
northwest, where most of the cases have
occurred in the last. four years. NelPs
whenever six bells came into the stable.
That meant a bad case. When call
comes in over the wire at Emergency the
man in the Office rings the stable bell
with one hand and the ambulance
surgeon bell with the other.
No matter what the surgeon was DOING
he would drop it and run for the stable,
and by the time he got there Nell would
be ready and waiting for the dash. There
is a quick hitch harness in the anti
quated little stable across d street from
Emergency Hospital, and Harry john
son, who has driven hospital ambu-
lances for several years, has the combina-
ton down so fine that the harness seems
to buckle itself.

Had Extra Link of Speed.

Sometimes three different calls would
come in at cnce, and then Nell would
distinguish herself for speed. Harry
Johnson never had to tell Nell that the
staff was busy. She knew it just as well
as he did, and they say at the hospital
that the old mare never failed to have a
last link of speed hidden in her some
where for the final emergency. That sort
of service made Nell famous.
When a crowd would collect around a
house where some one lay senseless and
bleeding. and away off down the street
a gray horse would be seen galloping like
mad. some one would be sure to say:
Here comes Emergency Nell.

Supreme Court Decision in
Patent Case Not Novel.
VIEWS OF w. F. ROGERS
Association President Discusses
'Legalized Monopoly" Opinion.
ERRONEOUS IDEAS CORRECTED
Highest Tribunal Declared to Have
Affirmed Federal Courts in De-
Gliding Dick Case.

Walter F. Rogers. president of the
Patent Law Association of Washington,
discussing the Legislative monopoly" de-
cision of the Supreme Court, handed down
last Monday, said today that general
misrepresentation of the meaning of that
decision exists in the minds of the public.
Mr.. Rogers said:
The decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States in the Dick case of the
18th instant seems to have been taken
as something novel in the patent law. The
truth is it merely affirms line of recent
opinions by the federal courts. The great
majority of the able patent judges of the
federal courts-that is, judges having
wide experience in patent matters and in
patent causes-have hitherto strongly az
firmed the principle that the patentee Tor
the limited term of his patent may make,
use or sell his invention, or hide It, or
keep it for his individual use, or restrict
it's use in any manner.
THE reported statement of the Chief
Justice that the case before the court
was one of an extension OF the incense
restriction and in interference with the
powers of the state courts indicates at
once the line of misrepresentation which
will be created. None of the cases wmcn
have been before the courts and in which
restrictions on licenses have been sus-
tanned has had to do with a contract be-
tween the narties They have all been
based on the proposition of .contributory
