Everyday Law Cases
Does PhGrGphrasing OF q Copy-
rtghted Word Constitute an
infringement?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

When Mr.. Smith, author of Life O;
Washington, read a copy of the Life
of Washington, written by Mr.. Henry,
he was surprised at the similarity be-
tween the text of his book and that Of
the new version.
In his book, Mr.. Henry stated his
obligation to Mr. Smith for the many
extracts he had used In addition to
the extracts, Mr.. Smith noticed that
many pages of the book he had copy
righted had been paraphrased in Mr..
Henry's book.
The injunction brought by MIR. Smith
to restrain the further distribution Of
Mr.. Henry's book was granted, the
court stating:
AN infringement IS not confined TO
literal and exact repetition or repro
duction; It includes also the various
modes in which the matter Of any work
may be adapted, initiated, transferred
or reproduced, with more or less color
able alterations to disguise the piracy.
Paraphrasing is an infringement if
carried to a sufficient extent.
1T is also unlawful to publish ex-
tracts to such an extent that the publ
cation may serve as more or less COM
plete substitute for the work from
which they are borrowed"

The World and All
INDIGNATION
By Charles P. Driseon

] used TO take great pride in expressing indignation.
There was a tie when | thought indignant notions
were the only ones worth while expressing. | was
lost in admiration Of Brann. the Iconoclast, and the
vast crop Of professional indignators who followed in
his wake. / thought il a fine thing to get shot for
calling somebody names in print.
Somehow, | have lost my enthusiasm for indign1-
tion. | have read so much Of this kind Of l~iterature
Eyes. and written so much Of it, that il has palled
upon my tast.
Then. too. ! have been looking about. I find that
all my former indignation was justified. so far as I
have been able to determine. Perhaps all the indigna-
lion Of all the indignators has been justified by con-
ditins. Yes, but coexistent with the conditiins that
justified the Indignation were other conditions that
the indignant ones utterly ignored.
Upton Sinclair, for instance. Here is a fellow Of
talent. Perhaps he is even something Of a genius. But
he has devoted his entire life and all Of his energy
to indignation and protest. He has seen nothing to
smile at since he put away his nursing bottle. He has
never had time to note the essential kindliness Of mer
and women, or the nobility Of spirit that is so COM
mon in even ordinary human beings.
II Is essential for society that we have a few Upton
Sincairs- But how sad il must be to spend a lifetime
crying out condemnation upon ones race and time!
I am now OF the belief that Indignation is the least
important OF all the human omtions that surge up for
expression. II is true. each Of US sees things and con-
ditions every day that make US indignant or uncom-
Portable. But how many beautiful things we see each
dayi Which shall we talk about. the Indignation or
the recognition Of beauty? Well, | am inclind TO let
Upton Sinclair express my Indignation, along with his
own. I have found more important things To write
about and talk about.
