SECRETARY NAGEL'S SPEECH.

The speech of the Hon. Charles Ma
gel, Secretary of the Department of
Commerce AMI Labor, delivered in In
diapanolis on Monday evening, is one
Of the strongest speeches either made
or that viii he made during this Pres
idcntial campaign. lie clarified the
situation by brushing away much of the
rubbish that is brought in. as he states
TO "confuse the public mind. - And
he advcrtcd pointedly to those who
were "busy making promises to which
they cannot successfully be held" He
was especially severe upon those who
urge the recall of Judges which, in his
opinion, would destroy the iudepend-
euce Of the bench and place thereon
moro trimmers. shifty politicians with
little knowledge of the law and small
independence Of character.
In all these things Secretary Nagel
pointed out very clearly that President
faith, he has redeemed every pledge so
far as he was able. And right here
Secretary Nagel laid bare the true
situation. Those things that President
Taft has not been able TO do were
things which Congress has prevented
his doing. While on this phase of the
question Secretary Nagel was not in
sistent on details, one need go no fur
ther than the bunko tariff revision Of
1909. which President Taft condemned,
and which the country so strongly dis
approved IN the general elections of
1910.
Secretary NagcI pointed out that
President Taft S task in the enforce.
meut Of the antitrust law was in re-
demption OF the pledges of the Repub-
lican party in that respect; he Justly
insisted that, as much more remains TO
be done in this regard, the right thing
is TO have President Taft complete the
work. And he closed by saying that
''it were better that We apply our
selves to the practical performance OF
so important a pledge than to fiji the
public car with vague promises for
the fulfilIment Of visionary desires"
Secretary Nagel deserves well of the
President, Of his party, and of the
American public for his clear and for
chile presentation Of the acts and rec
ord Of President Taft and his de-
sire fully TO meet every pledge made
either by his party or by himself.

THE SALTAIR FRANCHISE.

The municipal commission has grant
cd TO the Saltair people limited fran
chisc to use the tracks of the Utah
Light q Railway Company over the
vaduct on North Temple street TO
Third West, thence south TO South
Temple street, thence east on South
Temple street to West Temple street,
south to First South street, thence
west to Third West, thence north to
North Temple street again. The fran
chise contemplates the use of the via
duct over tho Oregon Short Line yards
by the Saltair people. We should think
that this would be impracticable; but
the other use Of the present street car
system might fairly be adjusted The
viaduct, however, is already pretty
badly crowded at times. and 1T is not
easy TO see how room could be made
for the use Of that viaduct by another
concern which would make so much
use of il as the Saltair people peccs
sarily would do in carrying the big
crowds TO and from the lake,
1t is inevitable that the street car
company would object 10 this sort Of
franchise. and il is by no means sure
that the Saltair people would consider
it advantageous enough 10 themselves
TO make "A fight against those objec-
tions, However, it may be that, IN or
der to say that they have "A franchise

proceed in the hope of getting amend
ments thereto later on. But, surely,
the present outlook can hardly be es-
pecially encouraging; and really, the
people OF the city would get very little
for the use of its streets under this
proposed Saltair franchise So that
it would seem TO be "A rather unsatisfac.

President Taft is flooded with messages

there will deal further with tho general

with the vagarics uttered by Col Roos

KNOX ROYALTY RECEIVED.

Secretary Knox has Just bccu having
the time of his life in san Salvador, a
rich but rather small Central American
republic. The Salvadorcans extended TO
him an enthusiastic welcome, which uu-
doubtcdly WAS appreciated by him to

friction between this country and San
Salvador. On the contrary, this coun-
try did what it could when a British
warship took possession of the custom
house at its main port some years ago

claim. to make that occupation as brief
as possible and as little offensive
There has never been any difficulty
whatever between San Salvador and the

country, when they met with other
delegates In their fve-republics convcn-

TIE PATENT DESPOTISM.

1t is not easy to adjust one s mind to
an approval Of the Supreme Court de-
cision giving such sweeping powers to
the owner of a patent as is done in
the decision Just handed down by that
court. One would naturally be more
inclined TO side with Chief Justice
White In arguing that the power so
granted TO patentees is extraordinary,
despotic, and monopolistic In unneccs.
sary degree. The right of the inventor
to his invention, and to the profit from
his patent, is not questioned, but it
should not make him branching out
despot.
1t appears that in the suit cousld-
cred, 1t was not only the patent which
the patentee is given control of, but
he is given control of the method of
use Of the article patented, even to the
extent of requiring that the user there
to shall employ in that use no ink but
that made by the patentee himself for
use on his mimeograph. A step further
would require the purchaser Of that
instrument to use only paper manufac
tured by that patentee and TO use 1T
only in certain way, or so many
hours in the day. Applying the doc
trine generally, the buyer of har.
vester might be obliged to say that
be would cut wheat only with it and
not oats. rye, or barley, or he might
be obliged to agree that he would not
cut lodged grain Of any kind, and that
in the use of the harvester, he would
employ no twine but twine made by
the harvester company, and no oil eX
cept that purchased from the same con
cern.
Chief Justice White was very en-
phatic in condemning all this sort of
special monopoly and unusual and ex-
traordinarv requirement. He pointed
out the efforts being made by the Unit
many sorts, citing the suits by name,
and put it squarely up to the court
whether il was the correct thing for
the Supreme Court of the United States
to be operating on line directly the
reverse of that employed by the Gov
ernment in its prosecution Of like mo-
nopolies.
There were but seven members of the
court participating in the decision,
Chief Justice White and Justices La
mar and Hughes opposing the majority,
and four upholding thu monopohstic
privileges of the pateutce. II would
seem impossible to consider that this
is the final word on this question, for
there will presently be full court of
nine justices, and one may fairly as.
sumo the probability that the full court
Will take q different view from that
taken by the majority of the court in
the case decided; and it is not surpris-
ing 10 see that a move is already on
to have the case heard anew.
