Unappreciated

The young man labors hard at
home, and writes story or a
pome, and, hoping to receive long
green, he sends it to a magazine,
or maybe to some daily sheet
which wants hot stuff that's keen
and sweet. Then back it comes,
by early mail, and how that writer
makes his wall! The editors are
all combined to bar that great
and fertile mind! Or else they
didn't read his stuff, but calmly
set it down as CUFF and shipped it
back with his own stamps-what
wonder tears are i'll his lamps? /
used to talk that way myself
when viewing bundles on the
shelf OF tales and other gems OF
thought which editors returned
as rot. But, friend, the editors
were right! The editors are
mostly white, and ii they see iii
man or dame a symptom of the
genius fame they do not douse
the glowing spark with bitter
sheer or cold remark, but try to
fan it to blaze and nourish. it
with smile and praise. (These
metaphors. OF course, are mixed,
but when I've time III have them
fxed.) The editors all DER this
sphere are looking, looking, year
by year, to find the writers who
can write, and finding one brings
keen delight. So, if you cannot
sell your junk, it is because the
Junk is punk. WALT MASON.

PRICE CONTROL ISSUE
AGAIN BEFORE COURT
Supreme Tribunal for Third Time
Will Consider Perplex-
ing Question.

For the third time the Supreme Court
Of the United States will be asked to
consider the power of manufacturers
Of patented articles to control the
price or conditions on which the public
may obtain their product
Attorneys for a prominent New York
department store have filed with the
court application for a review of the
decision of the New York federal court
of appeals holding against it's right to
sell to the public at cut rates certain
talking machines and records.
The problem of the right Of patentees
TO control the resale of their goods to
the public has proved one of the most
perplexing questions the court has had
to deal with in ten years. First, in
1912. Justices Lurton, McKenna, Holmes
and Van Devanter, then a majority of
the court. decided that a mimeograph
manufacturer could control the kind of
his machine. Chief Justice White,
Hughes and Lamar dissented, Justice
Day was absent, and there was one
vacancy.
Later Decision on Medicine.
About two years later Chief Justice
White and Justices Day, Hughes, La
mar and Pitney decided medicine
manufacturer could not control the re-
sale price at which the public bought
its patented articles. Justices Lurton,
Mckenna, Holmes and Van Devanter
then dissented.
Justice McReynolds. who succeeded
Justice Lurton. has not participated in
any cases of this kind.
The New York store now claims that
the principles of the medicine manufac-
licenses to use" upon the payment Of
royalties because the licenses were
only cloak for a sale.

SHORTAGE IS REPORTED
IN 0CEAN-GO|NG TONNAGE
High Freight Rates Charged on
Freights To and From
United States.

The Department of State has received
reports from many quarters relative to
the existing shortage of ocean-going
tonnage to move freight from and to
the United States. 1t appears from a
recent dispatch received from the
American embassy at Santiago Chile.
that ocean freight rates on the west
coast of South America have attained
almost prohibitive figures. This short
age threatens a severe crisis in the
Chilean nitrate industry and it's effect
upon the Chilean wheat exporting in
terests is most adverse. This years
wheat crop in Chile has been excep-
tionally good and the foreign demand
for nitrate is heavy.
Trade Handicapped.
The American consul general at Autk
land. New Zealand. reports that trade
between New Zealand and the United
States is seriously handicapped by lack
of shipping accommodations.
The consul general considers it nee
essary, in order that American ex-
porters may compete for business in
New Zealand on equal terms with the
exporters of other countries, that
American interests establish at least
one flrst-class steamship line under the
American flag which would maintain a
regular service to ports in New Zea
through the Panama canal and from
