The Office and the Man.

II would seem that as a people we have not
yet succeeded in readiusting ourselves to the
new conditions presented by our changed cleo
ton methods. We used to have a political
aphorism, Let the office seek the man." which.
while notable chiefly for the exceptions still oc-
casionally proved true. The more modern sys-
tenn Of direct nomination and election, how
ever. has brought It about that the man must
invariably seek the office.
All our primary laws are built on the theory
that one qualification for public service is a
strong desire 10 draw a public salary, and the
initiative devolves upon the candidate to offer
himself by filing a formal application to have his
name printed on the ballot. An alternative
method. 1t is true. is provided by which a name
may be filed by petition OF endorsement, but. as
everyone knows, that is merely subterfuge be-
cause the petition represents. not a spontaneous
popular demand but an aFtifioaiiy concocted
cover, usually inspired by the candidate himself
Nowadays one is eligible for public place
but the offiee-seehsF--the man who wants the
job because It is better than the one he has or
looks like a stepping-stone to something still
higher. We not depreeiating the candidates
thus made available-perhaps they are as good
as could be secured in any other way-and yet
the people should have a chance to pick their
own servants to draft them II need be- instead
Of having them self-propelled into the race. To
us it seems that this is the teak spot 70 which
remedial measures should be directed, and that
some way must be found again whereby at least
in emergencies the office can seek the man in
stead Of the man seeking thesoffice.

a Kick on the Patent office.

4 Kick on the Patent office.
NORTH LOUP. Neb.. March 26-To the
Editor OF The Bee: IL justice being per-
verted in the patent office? Have you
ever been reminded that valuable patents
may be secretly disclosed by employees
in certain government departments and
there is no way to find the disclosure ex-
cept by accident? II you have a valuable
invention and make application for pat
ent. the secretary Of the interior has ac-
cess to the patent office records and he is
made by law the arbiter Of your applica-
ton on appeal
The public press has been filled very
recently with respect TO the discovery of
a process for increasing the amount of
gasoline obtained from petroleum. II has
been announced, too, that the secretary
of the interior is personally interested in
the establishment of a refining plant by
which to make gasoline by the new
process
From the fact that an application for
patent on a process by which to make
gasoline has been a matter OF record in
the patent office, does not the recent an
nouncements have the appearance of
scandal in the government departments?
Suppose an official who knew of the APP
aication would disclose the matter, how
easily could a patent be denied the real
inventor and bring the discovery forward
by announcing that Mr.. So-and-So has
discovered something. and he is a bsne-
factor of the civilized world, and that
patents would be taken out TO protect
the public. How does Mr.. So-and-so know
ba hoa 1tc1CasoraA ,rnfA he
has a patent right? Some other Mr.. So
and-So may be in the patent office ahead
OF him and his discovery is a myth and
q has-been- II looks like a very near
scandal that our patent right officials are
in the business of promoting valuable
patent rights FOR the common good"
There are two or three associated oil
companies which have capital and facili-
ties by which to refine oils for less money
than the independents. II the new proc
ess is to be public property, those COM
panies will be able to get the business
and reap the benefits. But suppose one
of those powerful companies maintains
It's ancient record of bribery? How many
government officials are to turn mil
lionafres?
Is it not about time that our Washing
ton government have a real cleaning up
and cleaning out? Is our patent office
to be a sitting machine to disclose valu-
able Inventions? Patent rights stand
more in the way of the trusts than any
other factor in our country They form
a basis by which the independent manu-
facturer may hold out against the price
cutting of the powerful trusts. What
worse theft can there be than to steal by
perverting justice?

A HUSBANDS CONFESSION.

w. K. Maxwell in Judge,
Yesterday Mirandv voted.
But so far haven't noted
That she's spro' ked any whiskers or

And she hasn't indicated

That she means TO start out raiding with

And as soon as she was through II.
She went hustling home without a stop
to scrub the pantry floor;
Cooked the dinner, did some baking,
Trimmed dress that she was making.

To keep viCtuals on the table
And to keep the moths from feeding on

Big Job Ahead for Humanity.

An even bigger Job awaits humanity in the
wake Of the war in Europe than was expected. IL
was humanity impossible to foresee exactly what
would result In way of restitution and destruc
tion but the blacklist picture that was painted in
advance Of the fact is now being outdone The
work of feeding the destitute In Europe increases
with each day. as the store of food in the devas-
tated regions slowly disappears, while the dread
OF an epidemic of deadly disease grows with the
imminence OF spring weather. The horror OF
OF the war is even greater in realization than 1t
was in anticipation.
The United States is the one source OF relief
on which the innocent sufferers can rely; from
here must be supplied the food and raiment. the
medicines and nursing, that are needed for the
salvation OF those who can not otherwise help
themselves The task is ours, and we must not
waver in the work; 1t is duty OF which we
should be proud.
When the history OF this war is written, its
one bright page will be that which shows the
American citizens bringing succor and comfort
to the helpless women and children. and to the
wounded and disabled, while the other great
powers Of the world are bending their utmost
energies to the work OF destruction. II Is a
most magnificent illustration OF our national
ideal.

II also exemplifies the democratic idea of

to be credited with having sufficient sense Of
moral responsibility TO hold them to their task
until the work is done This doesn't seem 10

Prerequisitee to sheep-Raiaing.

Prerequisites to Sheep-RaistnG.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March "a
To the Editor Of The Bee: Having read
an article in your paper wherein it speaks
OF the clothiers' organization seemingly
for the purpose Of agitating and suggest
ing remedies for the extreme wool short
age In this country. and having had
more than the average experience in the
sheep business, 1 readily appreciate what
this would mean IL carried into opera
ton. While think grasp their idea, 1
fell to see any practical suggestions along
the limo of practice. Merely going into
the sheep business does not mean sue
cess. Notwithstanding the possible profit
from a sheep, they have all other stock
skinned forty ways for Sunday. Behind
this remains the fact that any business
capable of large profits Is equally capable
OF as much loss. Therefore the element
Of risk should and could be eliminated
by first preparing for the business
II we are going to advise our farmers
to each raise n few sheep, we should
advise them how to do 1t successfully.
In my judgment, the first and most
needed preparation is 10 fence and cross
fence with woven wire. Seed each field
TO one particular kind of crop. In so
doing, the moment his harvest Is off, he
can open the gate and let his flock in.
There they will thrive .and convert into
a handsome profit the wasted grain and
obnoxious weeds that would otherwise
poison the land. In addition to the pois-
onous weed, he would have a valuable
coating Of richness left on the ground
which would increase the yield OF his
following crop. Hence, / say the key
note to the success of this business Is the
woven wire fence, coupled with a little
common sense farming, the result of
which would be marvellous. Now how
is he going to do these things? Just as
soon as finances can be obtained by those
farmers, the color Of which does not
havo to be shown every sixty or ninety
days. 1t takes from ten to twelve months
10 produce a lamb. Therefore the fellow
who might be very successful with I'M
limited time on the money he might have
to borrow. would make a dismal failure
IL he had to sell before his stock was
matured. c. BENJAMIN REYNOLDS.
