Over and above Colonel Roose-
velt's protest on the New York state
wide primaries Is the salient fact that
they resulted in a two-to-one victory
for President Taft, which. together
with the decisive Taft victory in the
Indiana state convention on the same
day, goes far toward insuring nomi-

On the face OF returns in New
York the president will have over
eighty OF the ninety delegates to the
Chicago convention, several more
than his friends had claimed. On the

dent will have eighteen Of the thirty

vised. but they should be revised so that
the inventor will not have to spend 8

should not be compelled TO stay in court
for twenty or thirty years while trust

need a patent court SO that hearing
may be had in every state ans we want
no appeals from that court except to

frage already prevails in several

The pa,eu. Decision Arrin.

OMAHA. March H.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: The mlmeograph decision is
not an extraordinary decision. / will
make this statement: The trusts are
not buildsi on the patent right laws as
some of these gentlemen would have US
believe.
This recent decision In which the court
compels company or individual to use
certain ink with the mimeograph Is
not any part OF the patent laws. II is
a part Of the constitution relating entirely
to the substance Of contract. Suppose
that you would sign contract In good
faith: would you be manly to abrogate
the same without the consent OF the other
partyf Now this is the substance Of the
decision. A company signs contract
to make a certain piece Of machinery
which is protected by a patent In the
contract the inventor has required that
such company use a certain kind OF ink
The company after signing the contract
wants TO continue the making Of the
machine. but does not want to use the
ink. The inventor insists upon the use Of
the ink according to tho contract. or
discontinue the making OF the machine.
The court says that the contract must
be lived up to or discontinue the max
ing Of the machine. Now where can
you see any horrors IN, that decision?
The patent laws do not give the In
ventor the power to compel the pstron
to use any attribute he may suggest
In this case 1t is the fulfilling of a con-
tract which has been signed, which
would simply be q contingent contract.
All Of this roar is the foolishness OF
lot of editors who know nothing of
law and most OF them probably did not
read the decision It reminds me Of the
position Of q lot OF those chaps on the
success Of the airship. Every machinist
knew from tue start that the success
Of the airship was all hot air. and time
has shown the true position Of the editor.
Patent rights are one Of the chief
sources OF prosperity and they are at
the bottom OF the best principles OF GU.
