BEFOGGING THE SITUATION.

There are now three avowed candi.
dates for the nomination for presi'
den at the republican national con,
vention which is to meet at Chicago
in June.
1t is to be admitted that both Mr.
Taft and Mr. LaFollette have out,
lined their ideas on great national
questions and that they honestly and
widely differ as to the ways and
means to best bring about the settle
ment of the general national welfare
which both desire to promote.
But what on earth Col. Theodore
Roosevelt is trying to do in the siren
uous attempts to gain the presidency
it is difficult to imagine. He has
thus far based his long speeches and
statements that he daily gives forth
to the press on the need of the refer
endum and the recall of decisions
made by the judges. Along this line
of argument the man from Oyster
Bay is very specific in having it un
derstood that he does not propose
that these new schemes of reform and
control of affairs by the people shall
be tried out by the national govern
ment, but rather by the states.
In his recent New York speech, the
colonel said: Il am not proposing any
thing in connection with the supreme
court of the United States, or with
the federal constitution" In Other
words, Mr.. Roosevelt is talking about
certain reforms in procedure in the
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1912-03-29
PATENT DECISIONS.

The decree of the supreme court
sustaining the rights of the owner of
mimeograph machine to control the
use of supplies on the machines sold,
is comparatively unimportant as far
as this case is concerned. But the
sharp division between the justices
indicates differing theories of the
patent privilege, ard suggests the
many holes in our present patent
system.
Without any reference to the case
above referred to, it might be said
that the general situation in patent
law is like the broom seller who sue
ceeded in monopolizing the trade and
underselling his competitor, by steal
ing all the brooms that the other
could lay hold Of.
The government hands patentee
an impressive looking document with
blue ribbons and red seals, which
looks very good to the dreamy and
hopeful inventor. He imagines that
the product of his brains will be well
coined with the hosannahs of the
business world, and sees inflowing
wealth requiting him for days of toll
and nights of thought and worry.
The infringing lawyer, however
thinks but little of the document
bound up with these seals and rib
bons, and instead asks how much
| money the inventor has to fight suit
| with.
Patent lawyers cost from $25 tc
800 a day, experts $50 to $75 a day
1t is customary to hear a mass Of
evidence that would be ruled out il
court. and the record which the judge
is supposed to digest and understand
may fill 10000 pages. Under these
circumstances justice is apt to perch
on the side that has the smartes
lawyer.
The cost of litigation may thu!
easily run into hundreds of thousands
Many an inventor lies in an unmark
ed grave, while his ideas bring bis
dividends to monopolistic corpora
tions.
Another complaint is to the effec
that great corporations buy up pat
ent rights and never make any us'
of them, except as club to proven
competition. For this the remedy il
urged that patentees be required t.
make commercial use of their rights
or let some one else have them.

Scott parties.
The older stories of polar explora.
ton were full of suffering by scurvy,
which is said to have killed more sail
ors than all other causes, including
battle, tempest. and other diseases.
Lack OF fresh vegetables brings on
this complaint, but the Shackleton
party did not have case Of It. dur
ing all their absence in a snow bound
country. Vegetables and fruits were
so perfectly preserved in bottles that
this dread terror of remote solitudes
wholly disappeared.
The Shackleton party maintained
fair degree of comfort without wear
ing the heavy fur and pilot cloth gar.
ments with which Polar explorers or.
dinarily cucumber their movements
They found that II garments were
wind proof, and if they had enough
to eat, their vitality would keep them
warm. 1t was also remarkable that
none of the members had colds, un
til one day when a bale of clothing
was opened in a hut, when all the
members at once acquired catarrh.
In spite of all that science and eX
perience could do, the suffering OF
the men in the final struggle was APP
palling, and no doubt this will prove
the case also of the parties now re
turning. The 10000 foot altitude OF
the highest plateau in the world pro
duced intense headaches and made
exertion difficult.
Every page recording the final dast
of the Shackleton party is wall O
famished men for food. When the
scanty biscuits of one package prov
ed to be shrunken and hard baked
the men asked to soak them in tea
to make them swell and look bigger
But they found that if the swelling
was carried too far, the sensation o
biting something was lost.

THE INDIANA RESULT.

President Taft's candidacy has been
given further impetus by the action
of the Indiana state republican con-
vention in selecting Taft delega-
ton to the Chicago convention. In
spite of the advance claims of the
Roosevelt managers that they would
control the convention, President
Taft had a surplus of 105 delegates
and the four delegates-at-large chos-
en- are Taft men. Following the con-
vention, the Roosevelt faction held a
separate convention of its own, select
ing delegation to contest for seats
in the Chicago convention. AS this
contesting delegation was not author
lied by the regularly called republic
can convention of Indiana, it is diff
cult to figure how the Roosevelt men
can hope to gain seats over the reg
ularly elected delegation, at Chicago
Both factions went into the Indiana
convention to fight for the delegates
The Taft faction won and there would
seem no reason why this result should
not be accepted as final.
But the action of the Roosevelt con
tiGgent, in holding separate conven
ton, may presage a third party
movement, in case the Chicago con
vention dominates Taft, which il
seems more than likely to do.
Col. Roosevelt has already announc
ed that he would support the nominee
of the Chicago convention But he
also had previously solemnly declar
ed he would not under any circum
stances accept another nomination
so this latest pledge might easily be
overthrow, in view of his recent
casting his hat into the ring.
| And in contesting the Indiana con
vention's choice, the Indiana Roose
welt wing may be laying the founda
ton for saying, when they are beat
en- at Chicago, that Taft has beer
nominated by corrupt methods anC

mel to enter the arena once more a!

The marked increase in the price
OF coffee which has not yet gone into
general effect but is pending will be
heavy drain on the people Of the
United States who consume almost
half as much as the rest of the world
put together. This increase in price
is not due to the tariff for coffee has
been put upon the free list, nor is ii
due to shortage in the output of
coffee as the dealers at first tried to
represent, nor to suddenly increas'
ed demand. 1t is due solely to a
combination in restraint Of trade-a
commercial monopoly peculiarly sc.
cure from governmental interference
For a series of years the dealers have
been holding back portion Of the
Brazilian coffee crop in order that
prices might be kept up. Millions OF
sacks of coffee are being held in the
storehouses of Brazil and New York
and yet the price is being arbitrarily
increased.
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1912-03-29
ANOTHER TARIFF ITEM.

President Taft has just submitted
to congress another report OF the
tariff board, on the cotton duties. He
recommends revision and reduction
of the tariff on cotton and asks for
funds. with which to continue the tar,
if board work.
This is in line with President Taft S
work all along for tariff revision. He
contends that a non-partisan board,
investigating scientifically, the cost
of production at home and abroad, can
afford the only possibly logical basis
for tariff revision. He contends this
is better than the old log-rolling meth
cd of you vote for me and III vote
for you" which the democratic house
is now trying to put into operation
And this tariff work is one Of the
big reasons why President Taft should
be kept in office. He has begun scien
tific revision, one item at time, and
he ought to be continued on the jot
until it is finished. Col. Roosevelt
can scarcely be expected to live W
to President Taft's tariff work, ant
continue the Taft policies in this mat
ter, since the colonel, during his sew
en- years in the white house, neveI
breathed a word about the need o
tariff revision. And it was as mucl
an issue then as it was when Presi
dent Taft came into office and made
| il a live policy.
