largely nominal. Practically. they are
middlemen doing business on commits

an affront to the publics sense Of

When capitalistic class like the

EXPLAINS LAW OF PATENTS
Departure from Terms of the License
an infringement of the Patent.
p Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: | have just read the letter Of your
correspondent in Mondays issue about the
so-called abuse of patent law"
think ne has overlooked a vital point re-
lsting to the right of purchaser of
patented article when that night Is re-
He says:
II the purchasers accept these condi-
tions and sign agreements 10 that effect.
then the conditions are binding upon
purchasers by virtue OF the agreement,
and in no sense because OF the patents.
The patents have no relation whatever TO
the condition. and the conditions are IN
nC way essential TO the use of the ma
chimes.
Any contention, therefore. that a viola
ton OF the condition would be an In
fringement OF the patents would have no
foundation I'm fact and could not stand
for moment.
mimeograph cases are not patent cases
I'm the ordinary acceptation OF the term
that is they do not involve any question
of INFRINGEMENT OF the patents or any
question OF the validity Of the patents.
Now. one Of the we'll established prin-
ciples Of patent law is that II icensee
who uses a patented device departs from
the strict terms OF the license IL is not
only A breach OF contract. for which dam
ages may perhaps be collected but is
also an infringement of the patent Itself.
on the theory that since the patent gives
the owner an exclusive right in the use
Of the patented article any one who I'M
lawfully or unauthorzedly uses the pat
ented device is an infringer OF the pat
ent. Now. If the terms of a license con-
ditionally authorizing the use are broken
or are not lived up 10 in the use of the
patented device that very fact makes the
use an unauthorized or unlawful use of
the patented artice-crgo an infringement
OF the patent. Therefore, a use opposed to
the terms OF "A license is not only "A breach
of contract. but an infringement of the
patent. =. T.. D.

FEDERAL BIRD PROTECTION.

Passage by the Senate of the Me
Lean bill for the federal protection Of
migratory birds. is matter Of i'm
pOrtance not only to sportsmen and
paturalists. but 10 orchard men. small
run growers and farmers all over the
land. Ii is 10 be hoped the House will
listen 10 the arguments of the bills

miSsioners Of many states. John Bur
roughs. DR.. W. r. HOrnaday. T. Gill
bert Pearson. secretary Of the National
Association of Audubon Societies: DR.
Henry Fairfield Osborne, president Of
the New York Geological Society; Of
ficials Of the Camp Fire Club. the
American Game Protective and Propa-
cation Association. the Long Island
Association and many others. This
measure should become law not merely
for sentimental reasons; il has behind
it economic arguments Of high scien-
tlfic value.
The Mclean bill authorizes the De.
partment Of Agriculture To regulate
time and conditions for the killing Of
migratory game birds. This probably
would be done by dividing the country
into zones Of approximately similar
geographical conditions over which
uniform regulations would apply. Fed
eral regulation is desirable because at
present there are hardly two states
in which there are similar game laws
New York State does not permit spring
duck shooting. Its neighbors New
Jersey and Pennsylvania do; again,
Connecticut's neighbor Rhode Island,
does. while Connecticut does not. AS a
result there Is constant effort in
this state TO break down the law
against spring shooting. The annual
bill to accomplish this was introduced
. couple Of days ago. Obviously, no
state with rigid laws Is safe when its
neighbors have lax ones. and II Is hard
to reform the laws Of any one state
when the one adjoining has laws equal
ly lax Thus the birds sutherland not
only those which are genuine game
birds. In six Southern states-LOuis-
lana. Mississippi. North and South
Carolina, Tennessee and Maryland
the robin is Il game bird under the
law: robin pies are esteemed delicacies
and the birds are slaughtered by thou
sands annually. The blackbrd may
be killed under the laws OF Louisiana.

THE FIXED POST.

Commissioner Waldo credits the nOta-
BILE decrease In the number Of COM
plants Of burglaries last year TO The
deterrent influence Of the fixed post.
Tie saws that In the first half OF 1912
only 4054 such complaints were filed.
whereas 5,OO8 were filed in the first
half OF 1911. The public will be IN
clined TO accept this showing OF the
Police Commissioner at its face value.
Detective Burns. in his interesting arti-
Gle OH the police problem In last Sun
DAYS issue of The Tribune. said that
the traffic squad and the fixed post
were the two most admirable features
Of police work in this city. Most intel
ligent observers will agree with him.
The traffic squad antedates the present
administration, but the establishment
of fixed posts was its own idea and
will undoubtedly be remembered as its
most creditable achievement.
There was disposition at first 10
ridicule the fixed post as an aping of
foreign customs. and the policemen
whom it tied down TO stricter per
Torrance of duty were for time up in
arms against il. But its advantages
were quickly recognized. and the Police
Departments figures. which also show
q decrease of more than 80 per cent in
complaints Of assaults and robbery In
the streets since the system was estab'
lished, only corroborate the Judgment
long ago reached by the public. 1t is
Self-evident that the statiOning OF pO-
icemen at points at which they may be
quickly reached AT any hour Of the
nigh must greatly limit the activities
Of foodpads and burglars. Persons
Obliged TO be out late know the safest
routes for them to travel and just
where TO GO If they think that they are
being Swallowed. Protection from fire
Is also materially increased by the post
ing Of men ut street intersections from
which watch can be kept over a
good sized area.
As Detective Burns justly said. the
New York police force has been i'm
proved In many respects and is still
being improved. Its personnel is much
better than IL used to he. What il
needs most Of all is to be protected
from itself-frOm the lax and vicious
traditions which ii has inherited anC
10 which some Of it's members still stub
bornly cling. The fixed post has
worked admirably In decreasing crime,
81 violence. What the service needs Is
