Commissioner to Act at Once Under
Law Just Passed.
Reorganization Of the United States
patent Office working force will be I'M
dertaken Immediately under a new law
passed by congress and just approved
by President Wilson. Commissioner
Of Patents Ewing said that he expects
greatly to increase the efficiency Of his
staff by encouraging competent exam
liners to remain longer in the govern.
ment service.
For years the patent Office has been
regarded as government training
school for patent lawyers who enter
private practice at about the time they
become valuable to the government
Under the reorganization the number
Of examiners in the several grades is
to be eQualized. This will permit
quicker promotion from the lower
grades and, according to Mr.. Ewing
will reduce the number Of designations
The new law also removes the limi
tation against the employment of only
two women as second assistant ex-
aminers. Any number of women may
now be appointed. Women make ex-
cellent assistant examiners" said Com
missioner Ewing, land should be ap-
pointed whenever opportunity offers"

RAY STANNARD BAKER CON.
SIDERS BRANDEIS INQUIRY
AS AN 0LD-FASHIONED
HERESY TRIAL.

In the Springfield (Mass.) Repub.
lican, in the course of detailed analy.
sis Of the hearing regarding Mr. Bran
deis' fitness for appointment to the Su.
preme court, Ray Stannard Baker
writes:
II confess that layman finds him
self somewhat puzzled as to what is
the real view among lawyers them
selves concerning the conduct proper
to lawyer and prospective Judge like
Mr.. Brandeis. Two widely different
and, as it seems to the layman, contra.
dictory views appear to prevail among
them. Indeed, the inquiry at Wash.
ington has sometimes seemed to the
observer like an old-fashioned heresy
trial with good and honorable men dis
putting doctrinal points and with Mr.
Brandeis himself az the charged here
tic"
"A few Of the high priests OF the
legal profession have appeared to op
pose Mr.. Brandeis; others, like the
faculty Of the Harvard law school, who
know him well, have appeared to sup
port and commend him. Are these
professors heretical too?"
THE five-per-cent rate case is more
or less typical Of the charges brought
against Mr.. Brandeis and raises the
question squarely as to whether it is
really heresy for lawyer to be hon
est with judges, commissions and the
p,1h1jo M,,ck Ia ho oh1tx,io,,e n
the public aspects of the problems
which are presented to him? Shall q
lawyer seek justice and truth, or shall
he be honest only with clients who
pay him for it?"
"A careful investigation of all the
cases presented at the Brandeis in
quiry can be shown, think, to turn
upon this vital difference in view as
to the lawyers real Job; and that Mr.
Brandeis' method was to take the
higher course-as he saw 1.-THE high.
er course which is often so difficult
complex and dangerous to follow"
II have called the senate inquiry q
heresy trial; but Mr.. Brandeis 10 q
hereto only as regards what seems to
be certain twisted and contorted con.
ceptions of the duty Of the lawyer.
The nobler vision Of the legal profess
sion makes its members always seek.
ers for the truth of the matter. always
as eager to secure Justice as to win
a case"
1T seems to the layman that the de-
sire to arrive at the truth in every
cause presented, which has been so
clearly the characteristic Of Mr.. Bran.
deis' method, is the very essence of the
judicial temperament and furnishes
the soundest possible reason why he
should be confirmed. A man with his
peculiar kind of heresy is the best
kind Of man in the high court Of the
nation"

Brandeis, ask for or depend upon Tn
dorsements." I acted upon public
knowledge and personal acquaintance
with the man, and preferred to name
a lawyer for this great office whose
abilities and character were so widely
recognized that he needed no indorse-
ment. / did, however, personally con.
suit many men in whose judgment
had great confidence, and am happy to
say was supported in my selection by
the voluntary recommendation of the
attorney general Of the United States,
who urged Mr.. Brandeis upon my con-
sideration independently of any sug-
gestion from me.
Let me say, by way Of summing up,
my dear senator, that nominated Mr..
Brandeis for the Supreme court be-
cause it was and is my deliberate judg.
ment that. Of all the men now at the
bar whom 1t has been my privilege to
observe, test, and know, he is excep.
tionally qualified. l cannot speak too
highly of his impartial, impersonal, or.
derby, and constructive mind; his rare
analytical powers, his deep human
sympathy his profound acquaintance
with the historical roots Of our institu.
lions and insight into their spirit, or of
the many evidences he has given OF

our American ideals of Justice and

IN getting persons to unite in common
and harmonious action and look with
frank and kindly eyes into each others
minds. who had before been heated an.

This friend Of justice and Of men
will ornament the high court Of which
we are all SO Justly proud. I am glad
to have the opportunity to pay him this
tribute Of admiration and Of conf.
dence: and beg that your committee
will accept this nomination as coming
from me, quick with sense of public
obligation and responsibility. With

Hair Cut Slow In London.

1t takes twice as long to get your
hair cut in London as it did before the
war. In itself this loss of time can
scarcely be called momentous, but as
a symptom it is significant Of a great
deal. The fact that London BARRIERS
are reducing their stats and have to
fall back upon inexpert assistance is a
single illustration Of industrial
changes that are going on everywhere

personal knowledge. The other day

So much has been said about the

hind the front and offer miscellany
of goods for sale that the French
chamber of deputies has sent commits
saires to the front to investigate the
question. These hucksters are general

obtain permission to carry on a trade
in objects ranging from piece Of soap
to an anthology Of French poets as a
recompense for the losses they have
suffered.
A newspaper man who had left the
army from illness determined to be-
come huckster for day to see what
there was in the business. His ex-
pertinent seems to show that at the
bottom the fault, If it exists, is due as
much to the inherent desire felt by
human nature to buy something when
the opportunity has not occurred for
some time.

H. j. Porter of Denver, owner

gulch near the Lexington, has
been quietly working on the Flor
ence and has opened up a fine
streak of gold and copper ore that
assays over an ounce in gold and
from nine to twelve per cent cop
per per ton. This ore comes from
about one hundred feet below the
surface, and shows big strong
vein, and the indications are at
present that there is a large body
of ore near by. This section of
the country has long been known
to have rich ore but aside from
the Lexington mine but very
little development work has been
done and Judging from the looks
of the ore that is now being taken
out of the Florence mine it viii
soon be one of the good producing
properties of the district.

Editor Becomes
An Oil Magnate

Roy johnson, of Ardmore, Okla
homa, was publishing newspaper
the Ardmore Statesman-so some
time ago, and was trying to make
a success Of 1t. Printing paper
in small town is strenuous game
when there is no big bank account
as matter of preparedness. Roy
johnson was not discouraged. He
had faith in himself, in his paper
and in his town. Meanwhile, an
odd character known as Captain
Francis Cook, an Indian who had
many ideas, but no visible means
of support, was interested in the
Statesman and the editor. Cook
was addicted to the habit of writing
poetry-some of which was quiet
impossible. He insisted on hav-
ing the rhymes printed and John
son, being of an accommodating turn
of mind, complied with the Indian S
wishes.
Cook was a frequent visitor at
the newspaper office. He told the
editor repeatedly about place in
the vicinity where oil could be
found. He had discovered, years
before, an oil seepage and this
looked like a promising indication
to the Indian. johnson investi-
gated and finally consented to make
an effort towards organizing a COM
pany and drilling a well. The
company was formed; well was
drilled; oil was found. To make a
long story short, Roy johnson is
in the millionaire class. The In
dams tip was a valuable one.
johnson is president of the Crys-
Oil company and has other inter-
ests. He has retired from journal
ism and is expected to live happi-
ly ever after. There are oil editors
so-called, and they are numerous.
They write oil items. johnson is
different. He writes oil checks
The Oil and Gas journal.
But how about the Indian?
What did he get for his tip? Per-
haps the editor has turned his
newspaper over to him so he can
publish all the poems he wishes.

harm than good may be classed as
follows: First, those who oppose
improvement. Second, those who
run it down to strangers. Third, j,
those who never advertise their
business. Fourth, those who dis

those who show no hospitality to
anyone. Sixth, those who hate to
see others make money. Seventh,
those who oppose every movement
that doesn't originate with them
selves. Eighth, those who put on

of locating in their town. Ninth,
those who oppose every public en-
terprise. which does not appear of
