This is a matter that rMiulres investigation and consider? ation. We have no Idea that Capt.

No Republican has a right to have a voice in the selection of the candidates of the Democratic party, consequently no Republican should be enrolled hi I Democratic club or allowed to VOtl in the primary.

Management of National Corn Ex? position Expeatl to Have 1,000 Boys at Corn G roarers' Bctionl, Columbia, April 11.-?One thousand hoys in si loud together is not * rare sight, but a gathering of one thou M ml boys around a banquet board is Unit Ue. And when it is said that those one thousand boys are Corn Cltth boys, from all the corn growing stat m, what i sight it will be. This is the plan ol the National Corn Exposition management. to have ? meat exposition school for prize Winnen In the county contests of the Boys' Corn clubs, as conduct? ed throughout the Southern States by the Federal Farm Demonstration bu? reau, and the city council of Colum? bia, where the Corn Exposition is to be held next January, has announced ithat the City will give a banquet to the one thousand or more boys at? tending the exposition school. The school will consist of the two boys In etch county winning first and second place in the Boys" Corn Club contests. The school will open on Monday. January 27th. 1913. the opening day of tho exposition, and will eontlnue one week. The faculty will consist ,)f agricultural experts from all parts of the country who will be in attendance on the exposition, which Is much more than a mere corn show. It Is a great national agricul? tural exposition, not being contined to corn alone, and the opportunity which ir affords for agricultural education is unexcelled. The boys attending the exposition school will be quartered in a large building, near the main exposition buildings, and they will be in charge of representatives of the Farm Dem? onstration Work. The boys will be organized into a semi-military organ? ization, and while the men of the demonstration department will have close supervision over them, it is planned that the boys themselves will be given certain responsibilities. They will visit the exhibits in the mornings and in the afternoons will have pa? rades, and will be given special In? struction in corn judging, stock judg? ing end the like. The boys will be asked to prepare repoi ts of what they see and the best of these reports will be sent to the home papers for pub? lication. Then on Saturday night, tho la^t night, conies the banquet, given by the City ??f Columbia In honor of the Corn Club boys, Theic- will be ?peOChSI by some of the most notable men in the country, and in fact 'i will be \ genuine banquet, just like SjTOWn-up folks have.

Dick.?The Roterary M Inte? gra pli Case. To the Editor of the Scientific Ameri- ; can: With sincere and profound respect! for tht great learning und ability of 1 the Ch,cf Justice of the Supreme I Court of the United States. I beg, nevertheless to ask the following questions, after careful study of the controlling and dissenting opinion! announced in the Henry-Dick case: Why is it that the public press gen? erally assumed, as it clearly did. that the three dissenting justices must b> right, and the tour justices whose opinion control must be wrong? Why la it that the Attorney Gen? eral, an official Who would seem pe? culiarly in a position demanding that h? accept th ? announced opinion of the court, assumes that the majority opinion is wrong, and seeks tw have the case reheard and the decision re? versed ? * Is there any reason to assume that the three justices who Join in the dis? sent are better versed in the law than the four who join In the controlling opinion Certainly no one, lawyer or layman, can road the opinions with? out realizing that in the analysis and application of cited cases the logic and advantage are with the majority. Apart from the strong leaning to? ward the side of State's right, an ever fruitful point of controversy, and aside from the manifest t" -ar thai certain trust prosecutions will fail, j Which many believe never should have been begun, the dissenting opin? ions ceem to rest upon a fear that at some future time some one may do tilings that certainly seem incredible, if not impossible. The machine in question, a mimeo? graph or device for reproducing type? written papers, was sold with this no? tice upon it (italics mine): "This machine is sold by the a. p.. Dick Co., with the Hcenso restriction that it may be used only with the stencil paper, ink and other supplies made by A. B. Dick Company, Chi? cago, fj, S. A." This seems clearly to show that it is the machine that is sold, and that it, the machine, may be used on the terms and conditions stated, that is. only with the specific ink, paper, etc. Th? restriction does not. and could not, control or limit the manufacture, sale, or use of Ink for or to or by the general public. The public is free to make, and to buy. and to use. ink of any kind for any and every purpose for which it was free to make, to buy, or use ink prior to invention or existence of the mimeograph. The invention created a new field for ink. The inventor or his assigns had the exclusive right, by reason of his pat? ent, to make, to yse, and to vend to others to use, the patented machine or invention, with or without ink, pa? per, etc. Ffe or they had the right to manufacture and to sell the machine, and to license or authorise the pur? chaser to use that machine, on any terms he or they saw fit, just as any? one may make sale of any property with condition that it shall he used only in a certain way or for a certain purpose, title to revert on breach ot condition. The condition stated was that the machine might be used, but only with certain ink, stencil paper. etc. It was his or their privilege to forb.d any use whatever of the ma? chine during life of the patent. Of j necessity, the greater right included j the lesser one of forbidding use of i the machine except in a certain way, or for a certain purpose, or with certain materials. The public could accept these terms, or decline them. In what way is any monopoly created by the license restriction, which was the sole matter before the court? As expressly stated by Mr. Justice Lurton in the majority opin? ion: ' The sencil. the paper and ink I made by the patentee will continue to be unpatented. Any one will be as free to make, sell and use like articles as they would be without this restriction, save in one particu? lar, namely, they may not be sold to a user of one of the patentee's ma? chines with Intent that they shall be I use in violation of'the license." i And again: ! ?The market for the EUle of sie h 1 articles to tin- users ef his machine. I which, by such a condition, he takes to. himself, was a market which be I alon created by the making and sell? ing of a new Invention. Had he kept bis Invention to himself, no ink could have been sold by others tor use upon machines embodying that Invention, By selling it subject to the restriction bo took nothing from others and in no arise restricted their legitimate marketl" The truth is. he broadened their market, presently ami prosp ctively. Presently, by inciting other Ingenious persons to devise other analo^us ma? chines requiring ink of similar char? acter. Prospectively, by reason of the fact that when the patent on the ma? chine expires, all ink makers may sell ink for use with the machine of the expired patent, in addition to all the uses previously existing and open tr> them. The restriction does not for? bid the owner of the machine from buying ?and using the ink, paper, etc., j as freely as he might otherwise do, for any and all purposes apart from the patented machine. Tt merely for? bids use of the machine with or through the aid of those materials. Whatever may be argued concern? ing jurisdiction, as to bringing with? in the contract persons not parties thereto, or as to conjectural future abuse, etc., one fact stands out clear? ly: The license restriction does not create, and the majority opinion Joes not sanction, any monopoly outside of or beyond that expressed in and by the claims of the patent on the ma? chine. Anyone may make, use, and sell all the unpatented supplies. Ink. paper, etc., to the same extent as be? fore the patent issued, and when the patent expires, so that use of tlte ma? chine can no longer be controlled thereby, there will be open to all this added field for the sale and use of such supplies for said machines. The supposed great evils to result from the decision are, I respectfully sub? mit, greatly exaggerated. if not wholly imaginary. A Patent Lawyer. The Charleston Races. i Spartanburg Journal. The race track situation in this State is interesting. Although the general assembly passed a bill which was supposed b? prevent gambling on horse races, it is said that there is a little "joker" attached to it which will give ihe association the privilege of continuing the degradta ; and demor? alising business, if Chmrltnton can d.? that every little coun.y fair in the tttuie may have racin? with all the i.tcndant cvi's. it is impossible to hit ? races with? out betting. There is i use for any association to publish that all book making and betting will be eliminated. They know it cannot be done, Wher? ever there are races, there the gam? blers will assemble. Worse than the betting is the wide open drinking places in violation of law. Worse still, where the season lasts several months as it does in Charleston, houses of ill fame are wide open and the number of inmates are greatly increased. An established race track draws only sporting men and disreputable women. The whole tendency is to lower the morals of a community and weaken genuine man? hood. , As a general thing, so far as public expression is given in the press of the city, Charleston is in favor of the race ' track and all the consequent evils. i .They are willing to let bad enough I ahme until they can get something 1 worse. j We are sure, however, that a barge j portion of the people are opposed to the races and they deprecate the fact j that the city is under the control <?f j the racing association. ! I>r. Howard Lee Jones, of the Cita I del Square Baptist church, Sunday night preached a sermon dealing with the situation which no true Charles tonlan can ignore. In Monday's News and Courier there is a short notice of the sermon, from which the following paragraphs are taken: ? "The speaker gave as the funda? mental causes for the wid.-open rot? tenness that exists here today the lack of leaders, the iniquitous administra? tion of law und tlie cowardice of the Christian pecple. "If any th?re were In his audience last night who expected Dr. Jones to lay the blame of present conditions on the race track promoters and de? votees, they were disappointed, not? withstanding the fact that he was particularly severe in his denuncia? tion of the Racing Association and those connected with it. But this Dr. Jones described as but one of the many outward manifestations of the spirit that now exists In the commu? nity. Nor did the ipeaJcer *Uqe<? the entire r<*sponsibility o the city, although he in no complimentar whole tiouble, as Dr. the case, lay in the pollution of the fountains." Coker College was quite in evidence Thursday at the station. There was one car filled with the Coker College students and the young ladies kept things very lively for a while with the college cheers and songs. They seem? ed to be making good use of their outing to advertise their college and at the same time to enjoy themselves to the full. They attracted a great deal of attention to themselves from all who were at the station. Life's Two Classes. The world Is divided into two great classes, yourself and other people.
