Our Busy Patent Office.

Last year was record year in vol
ume if not quality of inventions. APP
plications for patents reaching the
patent Office during 1919 approached
the unprecedented number of 10000
more than any years output. The in
crease grew with the year. Those for
the third quarter exceeded by 81 per
cent receipts of the same quarter in
1918.
Inventions. of course. did not sus-
pend during the war, but, at least in
volume of production. it diminished.
And a great proportion Of that which
did function related TO war objects.
But at noon on Nov. IL, 1918. the great
war became as ancient to the inventor
as the Peloponnesian conflicts OF long
ago.
In October. 1910, there reached the
division OF the patent office handling
metallurgical inventions a total Of 662
applications for patents. In one di-
vision handling chemical subjects
there are several chemical divisions
4s0 applications were filed; in the agri-
cultural implement division 354 appli-
cations arrived; and the division zeal
ing with vehicle wheels and such ap
purtenances received 729 applications
about one-half of which related to re-
silent tires. This last item discloses
the fact that inventions for the auto
mobile industry best reflect the cur
rent work of the patent office.
In October, for instance. AL appl-
cations went to the division that han
dies automobile engines and parts.

A National Loss to Music.

Ingratitude thy name is musician,
might well be the reflection of Major
Henry l.. Higginson If he had lived TO
see some 90 per cent of the members
Of his orchestra joining the Musicians
union and threatening TO set up an or
chestra Of their own if the trustees of
his organization refuse TO concede the
union terms.
II is greatly to be hoped, however,
that the quarrel will not disrupt the
band or lower the quality of its play
ing, as would almost certainly be the
case If the men should break away into
a union organization of their own. The
New York Philharmonic was until
few years ago a commonwealth body
which selected its own players and d.
vided its profits among them So long
as that system lasted its playing lacked
finish and distinction, largely because
the men would not drop old members
when their bow arms grew stiff or their
lips habby, and would not limit men
from taking outside engagements which
iuterfered with rehearsals. With the
establishments Of sutOcracy and with
the Pulitzer requests TO sustain it the
work of the band has greatly improved.
II the Boston orchestra should become
cooperative in it, management the
change would bring national loss in
our musical standards. Brooklyn Ia.

Japan Wants Labor at Home.

Reports having reached Japan of
movements in various South American
states TO further restrict immigration,
the Toxic Kokumin insists the alarm
of the South Americans is unwarrant-
ed. So far as Japan is concerned, her
best efforts at present should be CON
fined to keeping her laboring classes
employed at home. The editor says;
at is not to the interest of national
economics to export materials; the aim
of country should be to import ma
terials and export manufactured ar
ticles. 1t is a shame that we should
export human power, which is the most
important of all the factors of national
production. Some Americans think
that Japan ia trying hard to find the
place to which her emigrants can be
sent, but this is a grievous mistake.
At present in Japan labor is insufficient
not only in town but in the country,
and indeed, wages have risen so high
as to have drawn the attention Of
British statesman. In order to disillu-
sionize the Americans We should make
il known that Japan is no longer an
exporter Of labor. Friendly relations
exist between Japan and America. but

Let Russia Choose for Herself.

Apparently the bolshevists are win
ming in Russia, and will soon complete
ly have the upper hand. A strange
sort of public rule will then prevail in
that unfortunate land. 1t viii not be
the dictatorship of the proletariat, j"
but the autocracy Of a few daring and
care to submit to this, it will be their
own affair, for they have right TO
just the form of government they de-
sire. The establishing of a general
peace with Lenine and his associates
leaving them in supreme control of
their country, is a practical possibility,
provided they agree TO leave other ma.
tions alone
For what justification has there ever
been for allied intrusion into the Rus
sian domain! First, there were the
threatened invasion and conquest of it
by the Germans, after the Russian
armies had given up fighting. Russia
then babe fai rto become battle
ground with the Huns, and the pouring
of million allied soldiers into the
country, had it been determined on,
would have been simply a proper act
of war. Military expediency warrant
ed the battling of Teutonic aggression
at any and every point,
And second, there was the proclaimed
intention of the bolshevist oligarchy
to proletarianize all other nations. not
only by means Of peaceful propaganda,
but also by force of arms. That men
ace may now appear to have been but
a nightmare, impossible of material
ization. But not long ago, to the over
wrought imagination Of millions, il
seemed a pressing danger. To combat
il at the very source was a policy
by the wish to save civiliza-
ton.
On these two grounds alone can be |,
based excuse for the foreign interven- |
tion in Russia-weak, almost futile and 4
drawing to an end. Now |
that the Germans have been subdued |
and the bolsheyists seem likely to sus-
pend their plans for universal domino
ton, ii is imperative that all troops |
from the outside be speedily with |
drawn from Russian territory, and the !
be permitted to settle their
own political conditions. Les

A Loan to Save Lives.

Do we really mean to allow people
in Europe and Asia TO starve because
they cannot pay spot cash for bread
Whether we mean to be so heartless
or not, the result is the same so long
as Congress delays to take action.
Those who are speaking for the starv-
ing are not asking charity-unless it
be charity to give people time to pay
back loan that they need so badly
and that we can so easily make. Chart
ty is indeed at work---if il were not the
cries o. the suffering would soon cease
TO be heard-buS il is the charity of
private individuals and organizations.
All that the government is asked to
do is to supply -four, and wait a little
while for payment. And the ways and
means committee cuts the $3.50, 100000
needed to S50,000,000, and the House
neglects to vote even that. We have
made a profit of S50,000,0O0 upon our
export operations in wheat, and have
used only third of the $1,000, 100000
OF credit granted TO the grain corpora
ton. Yet we hesitate, while Poland
reduces her bread ration to six ounces

1t is not a question of huge loans
made to European governments in an
outburst of sentimentality. So cool

Snow Blockade on Branch

But in Other Cases Snow
Still Lies Deep on
Tracks

Boston March 9.--lScores OF towns IN
northern New England remained iso-
lated to-day because OF the storm and
freeze-up of Saturday Several places
along the blocked branch lines of the
railroads reported serious shortage
of food and fuel but railroad officials
said that attempts would be made to
reach most of these places before
night. A predicted rise in temperature
was expected to expedite the work of
removing the huge snow drifts and
sheets of ice that cover the tracks in
many localities.
Factories and stores in Lewiston and
Auburn, Me-, were closed at noon to-
day to allow the employees to assist the
Lewiston, Augusta and Waterville
street railway company to dig out its
tracks. But three of its 100 miles of
lines were open yesterday. Women in
the two cities volunteered to serve the
citizen shovelers with hot coffee.
Normal service on the main lines of
the Boston and Maine railroad was pos
sible to-day, except on the mountain
division, which railroad engineers es-
timated could not be reopened before
Thursday. The Newburyport, Merri-
mack and Lakeport branches, the Law
renee branch between Danvers and
Stevens and the Dover and Wolfboro
branches of the Portland division con-
tinued inactive.
The line between Concord and White
River junction was nearly cleared to-
