Capers' claim that there are 12,000
white Republican voters in the 4th

truth; but if there is even one-fourth
th.it number of Republicans who ex?
pect to vote In the Democratic pri?

Republican Congressional candidates
In the general election, something
should be done to purge the Demo?
cratic club rolls before the primary.
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

MANY BOYS TO GATHER.
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?

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

IMPORTANT PATENT DECISION'.
Henry ve. 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.
