10 SO. In October of last year | had
a general conversatin on presiden-
tial politics with Colonel Watterson
at the Waldorf Astoria hotel, where
he vas stopping. + visited him at
his suggestion. In the course of the
conversation he gave 1t as his opin-
ion that a large amount of money
would be needed, and volunteered
the suggestion that he would go and
see his friend Thomas j. Ryan and
that he was sure that he could in
duce him to make n very large con-
tribution to the campaign.
II said to him that we could not
take Mr.. Ryan's money and that
such contributions were not within
the spirit of the Woodrow Wilson
campaign. His reply! was:
g "'I have been in politics so years
and ! know that money and not pa
briotism counts in a presidential cam
paign.
II repeated to Colonel Watterson
chat we could not take the money.
Carly in December met him again
and he renewed the discussion of a
Ryan contribution. I made the same
answe to him that 1emade before.

onel Watterson on the subject and
thought no more of the c%onversa-
tons. i have not seen him since
that time. ii ! mistake not there is
an Implication perhaps in Colonel
Watterson's letter to Senator Till
man--probably not intended--to the
effect that he secured funds for this
campaign from Mr.. Ryan. No such
contribution has been made, and
this, of course. Colonel Watterson

vey expressions of resentment at the
unfair and concerted attacks that
are being made upon him."

The manufacturers of patented arti-
 cles throughout the country should be given an opportunity to express their views upon this subject, which is so far reaching in character"
 In this connection it is interesting to note that the patent laws of Eng land and Canada are in effect tariff laws, while the patent laws of Europe, are revenue laws, all directed against the American inventions. Their pro- vision with respect to "licensing,' ' working" and ''taxation' are purely selfish and have nothing of the broad spirit of the patent laws of the United States. While there is selfish spirit in our patent laws, it is only on broader principle and is intended to encourage the useful arts and sciences within the United States.
 Today the patent office is filled with the records of inventions which have established new industries and WuICA AdVC UcAcllClCu Iuc nightly. There are hundreds of arts today whose original creation was due to the incentive given inventions, and inventions which would have been blocked if any restrictions were placed upon the unlimited patent rights authorized by the Constitution.
 Yet to officials of the Patent Of- flee and of the Department of Justice as well as to members of Congress, the Dick decision seems to demand that a revision of the laws must be made. They point out that when the patent laws were first made. it was not intended that monopoly should be fostered and nurtured by the gov- ernment. Under the Dick decision, these officials hold the United States becomes a party to gigantic monopo- lies.
 So the conclusion has been reached that further legislation modernizing our patent laws should be speedily brought about by Congress in order to prevent corporations from building up oppressive monopolies.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.

Taft Delivered Address and Knights of Columbus Play Important
 Part in Service.

Special to The Graphic
 Washington. June S.-While Pres ident Taft smiled his merriest and a crowd of spectators which taxed the acreage of the Union Station Plaza loudly applauded, the Columbus memorial procession of nearly 1O0,- 900 men filed past the $100,OOO monu- ment to the discoverer of the Vest ern world, shortly after noon today.
 The procession which formed one of the most impressive pageants ever held in Washington was made up of 15,OO0 soldiers, sailors and marines and from S0,OO0 to s5,oOO citizens, Knights of Columbus and members of other patriotic and religious bodies.
 Interspersed with the marching men were floats drawn by four, eight and ten horse teams. They symbol ized the advancing steps of civiliza- tion A half dozen bands blared forth patriotic airs and the entire parade made an impression half solemn, half festive as it proceeded along the line of march fro mthe White House to Stanton Square.
 The procession, and in fact, the en- tire celebration and unveiling of the Columbus memorial was held under the auspices of the Knights of Colum- bus. That organization was instru- mental in gaining the appropriation for the erection of the monument which stands on the hroa dplaza of the new Union station at Washington. Brig. Gen. R. K. Evans, U. s. A., acted as Grand Marshal of the day and rode at the head of the parade. The exercises began at the memorial at 2:30 o'clock. Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox held the gavel at the speakers stand and after Mgr. Thomas J. Shahan, rector of the Catholic University of America had delivered the invocation, introduced Justice Victor J. Bowling of the Su- preme Court of New York.
 The Marquis Cusani Confalonieri, Italian emhassador to the United States. then pulled the strings which released tho hugs American flags draped over the memorial and as the Marine Band struck up the national anthem, the colors floated down re-
