PATENT LAW REFORN.

The refusal of the United States SUI
preme Court to reopen the recently de-
cided patent case will lend impetus to
the movement for some revision of the
patent laws. This case merely involved
the construction Of the statute. No ques-
tion arises Of interpreting the Constitu-
ton contrary to the demands of social
Justice Congress has full authority to
make the patent monopoly as wide or as
narrow as it chooses If the law as it
now exists operates unjustly in restraint
of commerce, as Chief Justice White
supported by Justices Hughes and La
mar-all Taft appointees-frankly de
clares it does, Congress can easily and
quickly adapt the law to meet that dam
ger
We think this should be done at once.
Our patent law policy was adopted long
ago, when business conditions were
much simpler, and some unforeseen OPP
pOrtunities have since developed for
using what was meant to be merely pro-
lection of property i'm an invention TO
mOnopoliZe trade in articles on which the
patent has expired or to which no exclu-
siye right ever existed. The primary
purpose Of patent was to encourage i'll
ventors TO make use Of their ideas for
the public benefit with assurance of reap
ing the profits therefrom. 1t was not in
tended 10 enable inventors merely Ia file
caylats on ideas and then, while with
holding an invention from the market,
prevent anybody else from supplying the
public demand. Yet that has often been
done. Many patents are merely pigeon
holed by their owners i'm order TO main
tain monopoly for some inferior article
already on the market. The wisdom Of
the countries which condition patents
upon the manufacture and marketing Of
the product within reasonable period
is worthy Of careful consideration. The
patent law was not devised for the en-
enlargement Of the dog in the manger.
Reform is even more clearly needed in
the direction indicated by Chief Justice
White. One Of the charges made by the
government against the sO-caled electric
trust is that Il leases or sells certain
patented apparatus in universal demand
and Of almost universal necessity only
to those who buy from it ordinary sup

DIR, .BUTLER'S SPEECH.

In his speech on accepting the tempo
rary craftsmanship of the Republican
State Convention DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler defined fairly and sensibly what
he considered the chief national policies
10 which the Republican party should
adhere in the coming campaign. NAN!
voters probably do not concern them
selves greatly about controversies. more
or less philosophical in character, over
distinctions which should be drawn be
tween the different groups of straight
out conservatives. progressive conserva-
tives conservative progressives and rad
ical progreSsives existing within the
party. If all these groups can stand on
one platform the distinctions will tend
to disappear, and we do not see now
any group can refuse its entire assent
10 the programme which DR.. Butler out
lined Yesterday to the delegates at Roch'
ester.
That platform is i'm accord with the
record of past Republican national ad-
ministratiOns, and represents a working
ideal which loyal Republicans of all
shades will gladly accept. 1t would pledge
the national organization to revise the
tariff schedules downward one by one
and i'm the light of Information TO be
furnished by nOn-partisan tariff board
or commission To maintain the Sherman
antitrust law. supplemented by such leg
islation as would bring the great corpo-
rationS under better administrative con-
troll through system of federal licenses ;
TO the reform Of the currency system for
which the way has been gradually pre-
pared under Republican auspices by the
work of the National Monetary Commits
sion: the further protection Of life and
health by the passage of enlarged work
ingmen's compensation laws. such as
President Taft is now urging; the nego-
tiation Of general arbitration treaties
with the principal nations of the world ;
the preservation and development for
the general benefit Of national resources
the reduction of federal expenditure
which President Taft has so much at
heart. and the reform of awkward and
cumbersome judicial procedure, so far as
it can be reformed by federal action.
There is nothing in that statement Of
Republican policy which should offend or
ALLEVIATE any member Of the party. On
many essentials Republicans are not very
far apart. and the factiOnal quarrelS of
to-day are less vindictlve than those
which "a I'll cd tho marty I'm the Sta Iva ri
Halfbreed days. Or. Butler has, there
fore, done a real service in showing that
platform can be drawn covering n
wide range of national issues which Re-
publicans of all compilations can freely
accept, thus fOrecasting the unity which
will succeed TO the dissensions of the
hour when once n Republican Presiden-
tial candidate has been named and a ma

TILE ARnY OF TILE LNLURED.

THE ARMY or THE INJURED.
Those were striking figures which Sen
atOr Chamberlain used 10 show the need
of simple automatic means of prOvid-
ing justice TO the injured railway en-
ploye, which will save him from the ex-
penSe, uncertainty and delay Of a resort
to the courts, when he said: Every six
minutes, day and night. a railroad
"emplOye is killed or injured, and every
"two hours one is killed." This must
include, Of course, minor injuries, for
which no compensation is provided in the
Sutherland bill. The Sutherland COM
mission collected statistics which showed
that in three years on - per cent of
the railroads of the country SS,4S2 en-
plOyes were either killed or disabled for
a period Of more than two weeks The
period of two weeks Is chosen because
compensation is provided in the Suther-
land bill only for injuries disabling an
employe more than fortnight
That gives IN idea Of the vast army
of worl;ingmen in this one industry alone.

dress for injuries received in performing
tasks connected with "A public service.

Of the money going to pay legal expenses,
