CHANGE THAT WAS NEEDED
Amendment to Clayton Law Neces'
sary to Correct a Measure OF
Grave Injustice.

The senate adopted without division
an amendment to the Clayton anu
trust bill which will deprive patentees
of the sweeping powers put into their
hands by the decision In the mlmeo'
graph case. The amendment makes
1t illegal "to insert condition In any
contract relating to the sale or lease
OF or license to use" any patented ar
ticle or process, the effect OF which
will be to put such restrictions on
the purchaser, lessee, or licensee as
would require him to acquire from
the seller lessor or licenser, or hin
nominees, any article or class OF ar
ticles not protected by the patent"
This covers the particular point In
volved in the mimeograph case. 1t
follows the opinion Of Chief Justice
White, who wrote the opinion for the
dissenting judges, stating what in his
opinion the law was, but In view OF
the majority opinion he felt it impera-
tive 1t should be enacted by specific
legislation. The language Of the opin-
ion was stronger than usual In 1u-
dicial opinions, but hardly more SO
than the question warranted.
The stretching of authority granted
by a patent to cover the trade In ar
ticles subsidiary to its use asserts
vicious principle and can be used to
sustain grave injustice.

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
DeVotees of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter
resort, offers an irresistible invitation
TO artists, since it has an Inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri, with
its perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and its lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his WILL
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
"The charge per day, two bottles OF
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs.
IF any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommoda'
ton accorded to those paying the high
est price,
"If any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accommodated.
and shall receive the amount Of his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. It's walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home

Who Is Looney Now2

Governor Haines, of Maine, makes a
mistake when he says in his public
addresses: "The foreign policy Of
this administration has made us the
laughing stock Of the whole world.
The whole thing would be humorous
we're 1t not so intensely pathetic and
tragic"
Three months ago that would have
been all right. 1t is not all right now,
and 1t will not appeal to one thinking
man of any party, President Wilson
mapped out certain line of procedure
during the Mexican crisis. 1t sue
ceeded. II 1t had failed, criticism
would have been in order but without
plunging the country into disastrous
war the president accomplished his
purpose.
Governor Haines does not say that
our foreign policy is the laughing
stock of Europe, but that was said
only a few months ago. Europe is not
laughing much nowadays. Our for
eign policy has marked elements of SUI
periority over that which has bios
somed into European war. We com
mend to Governor Haines this recent
statement by the London News on the
subject OF diplomacy. "The example
of the United States must hereafter
become the model Of the civilized
world."-Boston Journal.

What might be called the human

Party VIII Not crumbIs.

The Progressives, says William AL
len White, are playing waiting game.
AS long as the Democrats are progress
sive there is no chance for the Pro-
gressive party. But he looks to see
the party crumble when the patronage
gives out, and thinks that then Demo
cratic standpatters will begin to APP
pear, and with that the Progressive
hopes for victory and not merely Re
publican defeat will arise. This he
puts off as far as 1920 If need be. 1t is
a pretty program. but it is based on the
theory that party for revenge can
last as long as that.

THEIR Guns SPIKED.
Republicans Left Without a Real
Issue.
Prospect Of Victory in the Next Pres
idential Election Has Become So
Remote as to Be Practically
Non-EMstent.

Not only has the war Of the nine
nations changed the prospect of Re-
publican victory into a prospect of
Democratic victory, but 1t has effected
radical change in the issues on
which the campaign of 1914 will have
to be fought. All the most promising
Of the Republican issues have been
shot away at Belgrade, Lemberg and
Liege. Some weeks ago they were
joyously and arrogantly on the offen-
sive. Now they are on the defensive,
at least to the extent that they are
having a hard time explaining why
they are makinga fight.
Up to the time of the ultimatum to
Servia 1t was obvious that the chief
count in the indictment of the Wilson
administration would be its foreign
policy The ablest of its opponents.
Colonel Roosevelt foreshadowed this
as his main line of attack as soon as
he returned from South America, and
the lesser men in both the opposition
parties made similar preparations. lie
displayed his unerring political In
stinct when he was the first to aban'
don this line of attack. He announced
the moment the war broke out that 1t
would be unpatriotic to attack the ad-
ministration's foreign policy in time
of stress, and none of the other anti
administration spokesman has had a
word to say about 1t since.
The second of the Republican issues
was to have been the tariff. but the
war has taken the powder out OF that
gun, too. AS long as the war goes on
it will be impossible to get an atten-
tive ears to complaints that tariff re-
vision is running the consumer and
elevating the cost Of living Voters
have sometimes shown an extraordi-
nary credulity to arguments OF this
sort-in 1894 they we're induced to be-
lieve that a tariff not yet enacted had
caused the panic of 1893-but even
a voter who might be induced to be-
lieve that the tariff affected the
weather would balk at believing thaI
1t affected war conditions.
On the trust issue the Republicans
never intended to make a very siren
uous fight, since most of their repre-
sentatives in congress have been vot-
Ing for the administrator trust pro-
gram With all their major issues de-
molished inside month, they are re-
duced to making campaign OF gen.
eral opposition without having single
important thing to view with alarm
1t is already evident that they will con-
fine themselves chiefly to local issues
in each state. There is nothing else
for them to do. The Democratic, no
longer on the defensive, are able to
point to their record, ask what the Re-
publicans have to offer in place OF It,
and receive no reply. The war has
not only changed the prospect OF Dem
ocratlc defeat to a prospect of Demo
cratic victory; 1t has obliterated the
Issues on which Democratic defeat was
assumed.

wonted solitude. But only a part OF
this vast tract around the farm
steads is under cultivation at all,
Beyond this lie the vast tracts grazed
over by oxen, horses, and bunaioes'
and by the sheep. who, in the winter
are driven down to Craze on the plain
and, as the summer advances, are
slowly driven up from the screening
heat into the hills.
In conclusion, let me give a few
words to my illustrations. Signor Sar-
torio has spent much of his time dur
ing the last years in the Campagna,
studying most intimately its scenery
and the life have described. The re-
suits of his work have found express
sion in a series Of brilliant pictures,
number of which have now been
exhibited in the Venice International
exhibition; and l think 1t is not too
much to say that the undoubted sue
cess these exhibited pictures have
achieved is due not only to their I'M
deniable artistic merit, but also to
the fact that they constitute a very
precious record of the conditions OF
a life which may before long have
passed away.

HE CATCHES BIRDS AT SEA
Barber on Ocean Liner Uses Whls-
ting Brown Llnnet Most Success
fully as Decoy.

The barber of the Atlantic liner
Minnetonka finds a new and profita'
BILE pastime in catching wandering
birds during the vessels voyage across
the ocean-his profit arising from the
selling of the birds on his arrival in
port. All sorts of birds come on board,
he says, and he finds a ready sale for
many of the rarer specimens.
His chief assistant in capturing the
birds is a whistling brown linnet
which lures the wanderers aboard
from its cage in an open port. The
vagrant flyers alight on hearing its
whistle, and presently flutter inside,
Then the port is closed, and the
strange birds are soon made prisoners,
Il have caught hundreds OF them,
and | supply the London zoo regular

ZOO had been able to secure in 16
years. What the birds require when
they first alight on ship is not food,
but water, and 1t must be boiled.
"Gulls follow a ship all the way
across the Atlantic. American gulls
are regular conveys as far as the Eng.
lish channel, where they desert us,

mhx the Need for More Revenue.

The Republicans will make nothing
whatever by representing the supple
mentary revenue bill as a means of
covering up the inadequacy of the
Underwood tariff The figures for the
fical year ending June 80 have been
published, and the contraction of Gus
toms revenue was less than was an
ticipated. II imports should fall off
heavily during the next few months 1t
could not be attributed to a Demo
cratic reduction of the tariff. Repub-
licans themselves are Growing over
the war as something even better
than one of their tariff laws as an
obstacle to trade. The Republicans
are in no position to complain If the
revenue should fall off heavily because
importation was checked.
