! UNDERWRITING
HAD BEEN PATENTED"

From the San Antonio Light.

From the San Antonio Light.
Someone pouring over the old files in the
United States patent office at Washing
ton the other day found a letter written
in 1888 that illustrates the limitations of
the human Imagination.
1t was from an employe of the patent
office offering his resignation to the head
of the department. His reason was that
as everything inevitable had been invent
ed, the patent office would soon be discon-
tinued and there would be no further need
his fellow clerks. He therefore decided
to leave before the blow fell.
Everything inevitable had been invent
in a stagecoach or a c%analboat. He had
never seen a limited train or an ocean
greyhound. He read at night by candle
more likely he went to bed soon after
dark and did all his reading by daylight.
He had never seen a house lighted by i'll

cent electric lights Were not to be in
vented for nearly a half century.

merely absurd.

world.
He could not dream that cannon would
be made to throw a projectile more than
70 miles, that repeating rifles, revolvers
and machine guns would be invented,
that steel monsters of the deep would
speed Invisible under the seas with the
power to send a giant ocean liner to the
bottom within a matter of moments.
He lacked the Imagination to see all
comparatively small inventions that nave
come into being since his day. some Of
them for good and some for evil, but all
telling a story of progress of one sort
or another. Probably in this he did not
differ from most of his fellowmen in his
day. 1t is very likely most of his friends
agreed with him that the limit of inven-
ton had been reached.
He seems unfortunately deficient in inn
his letter of resignation in the musty files
of the patent office. But let US not take
too much JUNCTION to our souls. We are
as ignorant of what the next 80 years
may bring forth as he was of the future
of American inventions.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Anna Steese Richardson writes anoth-
er contribution to her series. entitled.
Mrs. Larry's Adventures in Thrift"
In the present article Mrs. Richardson
takes up n describes various schemes
for cooperative housekeeping. In the
course of the article appears the fol-
lowing passage. in which both Larry
and his wife make a~fconfession:
"'Oh, Larry she sighed. Tn afraid
I'm a little silly! 1 can't rise to the
heights of cooperation and the good of
the greatest number and all that sort
of thing. Moreover. If I keep on ~ipvas.i-
eating the attempts of my w sex to
solve the high cost of living problem, L
shall develop into an out and out-anti-
s~uffragist. If we women cannot decide
and solve the economic problems in our
own pantries and kitchens, what right
have we to meddle with state and ma
tional econOmics?'
mi. Larry flung back his head and
laughed with delight.
my dear girl he announced con-
soiingly. If every man who had shown
himself incompetent to direct the fl
nances of his family and his business
were deprived of the ballot, the voting
list in this city would be cut down
about three-fourths.'"

continental possessions. Our lack of az
gressive intention and our righteous inten-
tons minimize the sources and causes of
war. But we ourselves have frequently
been at war: our isolation has not as a
] fact assured our freedom from conflict;
other nations relatively as isolated have
been involved in war; and no sound rea-
son can be adduced which would justify
a sane man in concluding that isolation
alone spells safety.
Furthermore, our isolation is geographic
cal only. No nation dwells unto itself
alone. Modern conditions have caused the
interests of nations to be as correlated as
those of families who have intermarried.
The interests of many of the large nations
today are ineXtricably interviewer with
those of some or all of the Others.
Self respect without which man is an
invertebrate animal, requires that we
should be prepared to protect that which
we cherish, which not only includes our
material possessions. but that intangible
something which makes US a distinctive
nation In the eyes of the world.
L can and do entirely sympathize with
every sane and sensible movement that
aims to abolish conflict and 70 insure
peace; but l am utterly out of sympathy
with the idea that we should neglect or
postpone consideration of what is now the
existing condition because Of a hope or
belief or even conviction that it may be
altered, even radically altered, in the flu
ture.
Every right thinking man sy1npathizes
with every aspiration for peace. 1t may
be possible to establish an International
tribunal, to provide means by which the
DEGREES Of the International tribunal can
be made effective by forces drawn from
Its constituent nations. and that a long
step forward may be made TOWARD abol-
fishing physical conflict between nations.
But such a great epochal event in the
world OF nations can be brought about
only by those who are strong,
self respecting and righteous; by those
who look facts fearlessly In the face and
;.,t accordingly; by those whose conduct il
guided by reason and judgment. Nc SEN
sible mind can believe that we will be
more forceful in attaining our aspira-
tions for peace because Of an open exhtbt-
ton Of feebleness n In the
solving of existing problems.
Do not shrink from what you must con-
slider: do not permit yourself to be di-
verified by terms of opprobrium. Militar-
ism Is used as q term of reproach to d.
vert proper consideration of what must be
considered If the subject is to be consid-
cred at all. Militarism. In the sense OF hav-
ing the military force interfere in the
slightest with the conduct of the govern-
ment by our civil authorities, Is not con-
ceivable in this country. is not urged by
anyone and is not feared even by those
who use the word In that sense to prevent
proper consideration and to confuse the
public mind.

GARRISON
ON DEFENSE
Lindley NJ. Garrison. Secretary Of War,

Ltndley M. Garrison. Secretary of War,
in the North American Review.
A controlling factor in turning people
aside from the proper consideration of
national defense arises out of their alb
horrence of what 1t denotes. TIC thin
Of military precautions and military
preparations brings to the mind warfare
with all its horrors. Every humane and
kindly instinct within us shrinks from
the contemplation of the evils attendant
upon war. 80" Right thinking people the
world over have for centuries deprecated
war and it's evils, and if these evils could
have been abolished by the simple pro-
cess of refusing to think of them, that
process would by this time have had
worldwide application.
No turning aside will not dot not
only will not prevent the calamity, but
1t will serve to make it's effects more
disastrous when 1t does come. If we
would respect ourselves, and deserve the
respect of others, and have that cour-
age without which man is useless. we
must not shrink from or shirk our prob
lem because of any of it's repellent or
repuisive features.
a great deal of inattention and con-
siderable opposition, is based upon the
statement and belief that If a nation
takes military precautions and makes
military preparations. 1t invites what 1t
seeks to prevent or repel.
Do business men who make wise
disposition of their means against the
possibility of panic. invite the latter and
make 1t more likely to come? Surely
none of these things is so, and just as
surely there Is no rational basis for be-
l.eving that a nation which takes proper
military precautions and makes proper
military preparations is inviting war.
They. however, who deprecate the TAX
Ing of these precautions and the max
Ing of these preparations urge still fur
Their opposition. IF you are strong
enough to fight. you are more likely to
fight" or, stated in the negative, IF
your nation is not prepared for war,
your nation will be less likely to be in
volved In war"
terrain it near, as they would seem to
mean. that the strong are more likely
TO use their strength than the weak, and
likely to go to war than a weak nation,
let them frankly say so and be prepared
TO answer the obvious question which
then arises. That question is, how do
you justify our trust that other nations
which are strong will refrain from mis-
using their strength against US, II you
fear that we. II strong. would misuse
our strength against other nations?
II we can not trust our " strength
and our control OF our strength, II we can

sensible men, place upon the conduct Of
other nations which are strong?
