A

Senator Rayner Of Maryland, who
died a few days ago.. will be best re-
membered not for his brilliant oratory
on the floor or for his keen wit In de-
bate. but for his professional skill in
the exposure Of the cabal against Ad-
miral schley. If he had W done
anything else, his memory will be held
in grateful remembrance by the bulk
Of his fellow citizens for his services
in that cause. He brought to that
task not alone the finest legal ability.
but a personal championship and en-
thusiasm inspired by hatred Of wrong
and zeal for right hat was reflected
in every word and cheered the adj
mirers of the commodore through the
long and bitter fight.
His speeches, faultless in diction.
were a delight, even to opponents. He
had a rare humor that. combined with
a felicity Of expression, flashed like a
rapier's point. never brandished as a
bludgeon. No matter on which side
he spoke he was worth reading. He
was a notable figure in the senate.
where he will be greatly missed. His
independent habit Of thought prom
Used much in a congress dominated
by his party which a i'll afford to
lose services such as he could give.

Talks With Men Of
National Prominence
at wsshi.stes, d. c.

What the Washington Post said a
day or two ago in a leading editorial
about President Taft's great speech
at the Lotos club. and also about the
president being much stronger with
the people of the whole country now
than before the election is very true"
said former Senator Marion Butler Of
people who are praising and COM
menting upon the president's speech
made here last week welcoming the
United Daughters Of the C~onfederacy
to the national capital. Every ex-
preston that I have heard about that
speech, and I have heard many from
both the north and the south. agree
the president has ever made. 1t was
a wonderful occasion in the history
Of our country, and 1t was a wonder
full address that met fully the oc-
casion.
Col. William Jennings Bryan. who
was here. and who delivered the prin-
cipal speech at the laying of the cor
ment at Arlington. has expressed tho
same opinion. Col. Bryan went from
here to the capital OF my state to
deliver n Of his noted prepared lee
lures. He went outside Of his manu-
script at Raleigh to say that President
lahtS speech on tnat occasion was
the greatest ne had ever delivered.
and that 1t was we'll for the democra-
tic party that 1t was made after the
election, for II would have had IA pro-
found effect on the election"
When asked what he meant about
II being a wonderful occasion. Senator
Butler said:
The Daughters of the C%onfederacy
were organized to care for the old.
needy confederate soldiers and their
widows and to help educate their chill.

PATENT REFORM.

The need for amendment Of the
patent act is not, OF course. abolished
by the decision of the supreme court
in the bathtub case. There are still
features Of h patent system that re-
quire regulation, IL not abolition. en-
tirely apart from the question wheth-
er they are used to maintain a monop-
olistic combination. The license sys-
tenn. where there is no monopoly. is
an abuse and burden. The practice OF
interference suits to delay the issu-
ance Of new patents was sharply illus
trated in the telephone case. The
practice of p%atentees in attacking the
innocent purchasers Of articles which
the patentee claims is an infringement
on his patent and extracting from
them sums which they would rather
pay than defend the suit is another
one.
1t is we'll worth while to hear in
mind that the power of congress to
deal with this subject is practically
unlimited. The constitution does not
say that congress must grant the pat
entee a monopoly Of the patent. nor
indeed to grant n patents at all.
The grant of power to do so is in the
same section with other grants plain
~ discretionary. Such are the power
Ito borruw money on the credit Of the
United States" or ITO declare war
and grant letters Of marque and re-
prisal." These and other things con-
gress may or may not do. as it deems
best.
The vast majority Of the country
will agree that the proved inventor Of
a process or tool should for a limited
term be entitled to the exclusive rev-
enue therefrom. But is it necessary
to have a monopoly of the manufac-
ture or sale Of 1t: At least nine
tenths Of the abuses Of the patent
system are linked with that monopoly.
The dictum that 1t is a necessity has,
we think. been accepted with too lit
tie question. Suppose that the law
should provide. instead Of the present
MONOPOLY that upon the confirmation
Of the patent there should be an Off
cial valuation Of the royalty to which
the inventor should be entitled. upon
the payment Of which anyone should
be free to use the patent. II the
patentee desires to increase the use
Of his patent by lowering the royalty
he codld do so on fling in the patent
office a notice Of the lowered rate, to
be equal to all.
We believe that THIS change in the
patent system would be found in prac-
tice to abolish the great bulk Of the
evils that have grown up under the
present system. 1t would doubtless
nroya more remuncratiye to the in
ventor than the present system. No
one grudges the inventor his fair re-
ward: but the public do not enjoy see
ing patents gobbled up by great cor
porations for the express purpose Of
withholding their benefits from the
public.
