THE PATENT SYSTEM.
.dltor of The Tribune.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir should like 10 add one more
thing to the list for investigation in this
country.
I recommend that the patent system OF
this country be speedily investigated and
something done TO offset the many Ills
arising therefrom, and make 1t serve the
whole people. and even the inventor bet
ter
The system H. technical. tedious. slow.
creates monopoly fosters combinations,
makes the many inventors poor. enriches
corporations that secure and promote the
inventions. makes the patented product
high displaces labor with the patented
machine. and makes him pay a high price
for the product OF the machine (save and
except printing machinery. II involves
much loss OF time and money by our fed
eral courts by the patent injunctions, law
suits and so on. Many valuable nven-
tlons are purchased for little and laid
away on the shelf to keep them out Of
competition with something controlled by
patent monopoly. Many good inventions
are never promoted through the difficul-
ties OF the system.
The system is expensive making, even
outside of the Patent once. expert attor-
ney fees necessary and also expert me-
chanical craftsmen necessary.
The system makes millionaires and
paupers, two classes Of undesirable citi-
zens.
was mainly Instrumental in getting
the Progressive Republican party to In
sert a plank in its platform about the
patent question. and while they did not
draw It as recommended. yet II was q
step In the right direction.

AN UNFAIR BURDEN.

Numerous Eastern and Southern
states have agreed 10 send representa-
tives to a conference TO devise and
, urge on Congress the enactment or
legislation to relieve them Of the bur
den Of maintaining foreign born In
sane. It is the logical outcome OF the
investigation OF this subject which
I Governor Dix caused 10 be made In
this state. That investigation dis
closed some rather startling facts and
brought together other information,
more or less known but disregarded by
the authorities. in such form that
they can hardly disregard 1t In the fut-
IRE. Being the chief sufferer from the
unfortunate state of affairs which pre-
walls. 1t is fitting that New York should
take the lead.
The Legislature Of 1918 will be
asked to appropriate the sum of SILL
T92. 7O4 for the care of the states in
sane. an increase Of nearly S3,J00,OO0
over the appropriation for this year.
Foreign born patients constitute nearly
30 per cent Of the inmates OF the hos
pitals. and the number is growing year.
ly, compelling the state to pay not only
the cost Of maintaining them. but the
expense of new buildings from time TO
time. with their elaborate and expen-
sive equipment. TO somewhat less
degree this burden also falls on other
Atlantic Coast and Southern states.
The federal government, which has the
power OF turning back undesirable i'm
migrants, does not pay the penalty for
failure to do it's work efficiently. Yet
lack OF machinery and funds for eff
cient work on the part of the federal
government is the real trouble
Nearly million immigrants year
enter this country through Ellis Island.
and the immigration service is wofully
III equipped 10 handle this deluge and
detect anything 50 delicate and elu-
siye as symptoms Of incipient insanity.
Once in the country, the foreign born
defective has an advantage as the laws
stand. He may be deported within
three years II 1t can be proved that

SAFETY FIRST"

One reason for many accidents on
American railroads is the common
failure hitherto of such actions to en-
force criminal responsibility higher up
in American railroading as those now
brought against officials of the New
Haven and of the Cincinnati. Hamilton
Il Dayton railroads. The issue Is
usually complicated. .Juries. under the
law as it is, are always hard to con
vince of personal knowledge of and
responsibility for details on the part
of those whose duty is general super
intendence. We had that illustrated
recently in the escape OF the owners
of the Triangle Waist Company.
Yet it ought to be possible to infict
some punishment If such neglect OF
public safety as that alleged in the
New Haven accident were proved.
That was caused by IN engineers vio-
lation of orders in taking n crossoyer
at full speed. If it should be shown
at the trial that the operating officers
Of the road took no effective steps 10
see that such orders as those violated
at Westport were enforced. Il jury
might he willing to hold them TO Grim
inal responsibility.
If it should be shown 10y verdicts
Of guilty in cases like these that the
duty of operating officials does not end
with the mere making of safety rules
railroad arrangements would begin to
take more than an academic interest
i'm automatic devices To prevent dis
obedience Of orders. There is TOO much
safety now for operating officials and
too little for passengers.

 Sweetwater took a look at the wag- on. It was piled high with large wood. en boxes on more than one of which he could see scrawled the words o. Brotherson, Derby, Pa.
 This explained her presence, but the boxes told nothing. They were of all sizes and shapes, and some of them so large that the assistance of another man was needed to handle them. SweetWater was about to of fer his services when a second man appeared from somewhere In the rear. and the detectives attention being thus released from the load out of which he could make nothing, he all loved it to concentrate upon the young girl who had 1t in charge and who, for many reasons, was the one person of supreme importance to him.
 She had swung open the two wide doors. and now stood waiting for horse and wagon to enter With locks flying free-she wore no bon net-she presented picture of ever increasing interest to Sweetwater. Truly she was a very beaut.'.ll girl, buoyant, healthy and sweet; as unlike as possible his preconceived notions Of Miss Chalioner's humble little pro- tege. Her brown hair, of rich chest nut hue, was in itself a wonder
