NEW YORK. Nov. 2I.-~Jim FAR
ley is building up the worst political
machine this country ever Ia;
SEEN" a newspaper man said 70 me
today at luncheon.
He viii run for governor OF New
York in 1885 and then try to run
for president in 1870.
His handshake has touched more
politicians than any other man."
Many persons believe what this
man said.
But who can speak OF 1870 now
or eve 1882 The world Is moving
too rapidly.
II does not look nov as If an old
style politician will be q candidate
for anything except a museum piece,
in 1870.
La Guardia?
The republicans will not be so
dead IN 1896 as people think.
Remember, the Old Guard OF the
republican party supported the pro-
gressive Forello II. La Guardia for
mayor Of New York. And the party
has not regretted II. La Guardia,
as progressive as he Is, has given
jobs 70 republicans. That Is some
thing they have not had In New
York City for years.
The old parties are willing TO have
Rooeevelts and La Guardias be
their head men II the rank and file
are remembered.
New York republicans may put
forth Ia Guardia as a possibility
for the presidential nomination in
1885. La Guardia might even bt
preferred to La Toilette. He Is prov
ING a conservative mayor-but hon
est.

y. A. Collins. who sometimes fur
nishes items Of interest to this col
umn. supplies this today:
The depression Is stimulating
Americas inventive genius. New in
ventionS are flowing into the pat
ent office at Washington at a rate
not far below 1000 a week. OF which
fully one-half are being patented.
The United States soon will issue
It's 1000. 0O0th patent. II comes as a
surprise 10 learn that all the re-
mainder Of the world in the last
three centuries has issued only a.
100000 patents.
The rewards OF successful in
yentors are fabulously large. There
are at present so patents In the
United states earning 100000 q
year; 800 earning 100000 q year
and no fewer than 1000 earning
100000 a year. r. is estimated that
IS per cent OF the income OF the
country comes from patented CON-
modities.
"An intensive study made by the
Inventors Foundation OF New York
In connection with its courses at
Stevens institute and New York uni
versity indicates that the American
inventor. although the most prolific
in the world, often Is lacking In the
practical experience and technique
OF securing patents and assuring q
fair return Of the profits. For the
first time in the long history oi
