CAMPAIGN BRIEFS There Is no denying the fact that President Taft has a keen apprecia tion of honor. He has chosen Dr. K. E. Doolittle to succeed Doctor Wiley j at the head of the pure food depart- j meat. * • * Prosecutions under the S'herman ' law have been a farce, Colonel Itoose- i velt thinks. Everyone else seems to i think so except the president, who closes his eyes in ecstacy and says such proceedings are a foretaste of what he expects to find "in Heaven." * * * President Taft and Attorney Gen eral Wickersham refuse to make pub lic certain secret papers in the case of .Mr. Lyons of Kansas City, on the theory that their publication at this time might, prejudice the disbarment proceedings against him. Can it be that judges can be "influenced" by such things? • • * "Progressive is as progressive does," says the president, who might havo added that platitude is as platitude says. • » • The 1912 German war scare shows the same disregard for the president's peace treaties that congress shows for his tariff board. * * • Senator I,a Pollette is usually quite accurate in his statements, but when 'he says he is still in the presidential race it is feared he has been misin formed. • * « If it is true that the law is an exact science Chief Justice White thinks some mighty poor scientists havo found their way to the supreme bencn. • • • Tn all states where presidential pri maries are held a big majority of the Republican voters will make an "X" before Roosevelt's name and an "ex" before President Taft's. • * * Lacking the nerve to fire Doctor Wiley, the administration went to the other extreme and froze him out. • * * This year the professional politi cians are proceeding to make them selves even more offensive than usual. * « * The public, which has patiently waited to hear of the resignation of "Tama .Jim" Wilson and "Solicitor" McCa'be, «is poorly rewarded by the news of Doctor Wiley's retirement. • » * Under Taft's leadership the G. O. P. should be represented no longer by an elephant but by a giraffe, because t'ne head has got so far away from the body of the party. • * • "Big stick" and "race suicide" are two terms that Roosevelt popularized. And now with his "hat in the ring," he popularizes a third term. * • • The Taft boomers' sophistries flil the standpatter with cheer, but the T. R. men's prophecies chill him with fear. * * • You may expect to see in any re actionary newspaper that the assas sination of the judge, prosecutor and sheriff in Virginia is typical of the "recall" when the "passions of the mob" are allowed to assert them selves. • • • The ten indicted beef packers in Chicago have decided not to testify in their own behalf, which appears to be an odd way of trying to establish their innocence. But possibly it is just to "spite" the colonel. • * * A dispatch from Guthrie, Okla., says that the Taft managers have "decided togo to the ditch with Taft," which reveals a frank understanding ot where they are going to finish. • • * Senator Leroy Percy of Mississippi is another "statesman" who views popular primaries with distrust. He polled only 21,521 votes in a total o: 132,431 in the recent Mississippi pri maries and in consequence is asked to resign. • • • When the presidential preference primaries in Massachusetts and Ohio repudiate the president will the stand patters in those states hold secret con ventions and send contesting delegates to Chicago? • • • If the "mob," instead of the supreme court majority had made that decision in the patent monopoly case, the joke would be on the mob. Indeed, the joke seems to be on 'em, anyhow. • • * On President Taft's recent journey through Ohio and to Chicago the po lice had very liitle difficulty in keep ing the enthusiasm of the crowds with in polite bounds. • • » The old-fashioned politician who imagines that a candidacf can be blast- j fd utterly by a letter written several ytars ago is making himself unusually busy this season. i mimm Where the Worry Comes.

CHIEF J'ISIiSE IS WITH HIM. ! Rotary Mimeograph Case Gives Spe | cial Point to the Colonel's Columbus Speech—Administration Wants Con gress to Overthrow Court's Action. On Feb. 21 Colonel Roosevelt deliv ered before the constitutional conven tion of Ohio :in oratiin on "A Charter nf Democracy," in which in' denounced the doctrine of the Infallibility of the courts as a grave danger menacing American institutions and advocated a simplified method for the recall of, court decisions by the people. At once tie was assailed by the representatives of big business anil of monopoly as an advocate of virtual anarchy and a liv ing threat against the safety of prop erty. Of course at the time he was speak ing more particularly of state courts, but in less than three weeks, on March 11, to be exact, the supreme court of the I'nited States handed down a decision, coupled with the dis sent of three members, incliidit.g that of the chief justice, vindicating Colo nel Roosevelt's attitude in evet,\ par ticular. The supreme court caught up with Roosevelt. And the severe com ments drawn upon himself from the advocates of special privileges ought now in all justice to be passed 011 t<> the supreme court and especially to Chief Justice White, for if ever a hu man being voiced a demand for the recall of a decision of the courts Chief Justice White did so in his dissenting opinion. The ease wns that of Sidney Henry, et al. vs. the A. B. Dick company. Tlu> J Dick company owned the patent on a rotary mimeograph. It sold one of the machines to Miss Christina B. Skou of Xew York under a stipulation that tin ink, stencil paper and other supplies used with the invention must be bought from the Dick company. The Henry company sold Miss Skou ink for the mimeograph that was not I'i k ink. and the Dick company sued the Henry company and Miss skou for in frlngement of the patent on the mimeo graph. On March 11. with only seven : members of the I'nited States supn me court sitting, four of them, constitut ing a majority, decided the case and held that when the Henry company sold the non lick ink to Miss SUoti and she used it.this constituted an in fringement of the patent. In a dissenting opiri m.in which he was joined liy Justices Hughes an 1 Lamar, Chief Justice White denounc ed this extraordinary opinion in the most biting language. Stating that the patent did not cover the ink in any way, lie demanded that the legislative department ot the government amend the law so as to make it impossible for the precedent established by the de cision to be maintained. "Under tins decision it is now the . law," declared the chief Justice, "that ' * * * the patentee has the power by ! contract to extend his patent rights s<» ; as to bring within the claims of h'.s ■ patent things which are not embraced! therein, thus virtually legislating by causing the patent laws to cover sub- ' jects to which they could not iva< h. : the result being to multiply monopo- j lies at the will of an interested party." The decision caused a laugh of derl- j slon throughout the national capital, i The advocates of the doctrine of the infallibility of the courts were over come with chagrin, while the support ers of Colonel Itooseveit Inquired with sarcastic emphasis \ Hether the people at the polls, so fre<: »ntly denounced as a "mob" by the advocates of spe cial privilege, could ever do anything worse. In the meantime the attorney gen eral and other administration i p;>o-, nents of Colonel Roosevelt fluttered about in flabbergasted haste to find some speedy way to recall the opinion, for if Sustained this opinion will take the life out of some of the most spec tacular trust busting suits the admin-/ istration has in its incubator. The attorney general notified the defeated litigants that If they were game to try to secure a rehearing of the case before a full bench of the supreme court the administration would be glad to lend all the assistance of which the department of justice was capable. At the same time the attor ney genet a I commenced the prepara tion of a bill for the amendment of the patent law with the intention of setting congress loose at the sup:v court. Other steps for the r ail oi the decision were inaugurate! I, t' e commissioner of patents, w > :1.0 t,■ gan work on a bill to be li::'.">d : congress. Apparently every le:-:' '.itor in r :* gress wanted a copy of toe d d.-i . some for the ,purpose of ' i themselves and others to -ttal it ,i the setucli for a way to recall i' This is the s<» o:td piece of m> i- j tlon.il legislation perpetrate!

An Interpreter Needed. The following story from Har per's Magazine furnishes a rare in stance of that devotion to a foreign language which has caused one to forget for the moment that he speaks liis own tongue: An Englishman, who spent his time in adapting plays from llie French for the British stage, was dining once in an English hotel, when, after lie had eaten, lie was seized with a desire to smoke. He called the waiter and said to him: "Peut-on fumer ici ?" The man looked blank. "I don't understand a word of French, sir," he said. The adapter was in despair. "Then for pitv's sake send me some one who does!" he exclaimed. Where the Fire Was.
