IS THE STATE PAYING ROYALTIES?
For a long time there has been more or less discussion
of the question of whether or not the Warrens had a
patent on paving that was really such. It is a question
" that should be settled, and one that it would seem would
have been settled long ago.
As we understand the matter the patent is based on
the size of broken stone or gravel used to give stability
to the asphalt. It is stated that some Indiana judge had
decided against the patent holding it, as the story goes,
as being a patent on something unpatentable. If the
croremPTir. t.hnt the natent is based on the size of the stone
used, it would appear on the face of it that the Indiana
judge was eminently correct. 11 one company, mevvai
rens for instance, can patent one size of stone and pre
vent its use without the paying of a royalty, then some
other company couia patent some other size of stone or
gravel and a third still anotner size ana so prevent tuc
using of any combination of stone and asphalt for paving
purposes without the consent of the patentee. '
If this can be done why not apply it to everything else?
Why not some poultryman patent a certain size of eggs
and forbid their use by others? Why not patent water
melons or peanuts by the same rule?
Why not patent all trout of a certain size and compel
the fisherman in addition to his license to pay the fellow
with the patent right if he caught any of that size. In
this connection it would be interesting to have a story as
to whether the State is paying royalty for the use of any
of its pavement. At the time the bonds were up for the
voters to pass on, it was stated, as we remember it, that
the Warren Construction Company would not charge any
royalties if their pavement was used. A statement as tor
the correctness 01 mis coming irum Aii&uwajr vum
mission would be eminently proper just now.

The world's series is ended and Chicago wears the
Knickerbocker scalp on its belt in the most prominent
place. It was a fine series and at the end of the fourth
game was even money. The Porkopolis bunch however
developed a barrel of pep in the fifth meeting and gave
the fans one of the most spectacular games in baseball
history. Each team had won every game played on its
own grounds when Pork and Stocks met in what proved
to be the final game, but which according to the other
games should . have gone to New York. It was a great
game too, but the Giants' were outplayed and out classed,
and all the cow .bells and noise the home rooters managed
to make and the booing they gave the visitors could not
change these conditions. Under the rules neither team
nor any of their players can play again this year. This
cuts out an arranged game at the Yaphank or Mineola
army camps.
It is propose'd to seize neutral ships lying in American
harbors. The owners of these vessels would gladly sell
them to the government, but tear Germany's anger. If
they were commandeered and taken without the owner's
consent, this trouble' would be avoided and the owners
would be delighted. They are a weak-kneed lot or they
would not fear his nibs the already dishonored and dis
graced kaiser. In a short time the world will be relieved
of all fear of this monster.
The Poles- are raising an army of their own that will
fight under the Polish flag, and are recruiting it from all
countries. This is according to the sentiment that for
centuries has placed the Pole in the front rank of every
army that has battled for freedom. They have had less
of it for a century than most people, but it is not because
they were unwilling to fight for it. The Polish flag will be
another raised in opposition to Germany.
The Austrian Minister of Defense admits thdt "certain
sections of the Austrian army at Zboreff had failed to
show that resistance was expected of them." He also ad
mitted that Austrian prisoners, Czech-Slavs, who h4.
joined the Russian army put up a strong fight against
their countrymen. This is another straw indicating the
direction of the wind.

have grinned secretly as he gave the other fellow in tm
, king row this piece of taffy: "The glorious struggle in
,.rV;Mi Rtiitrnvin PsnmiRpd the iust cause of the central
powers has brought her the fulfillment of her historical
ambition." Bulgaria admittedly espoused the cause of
the central powers because she, was bribed to do so with
promises, which the central powers are noi auie iu neey.
Bulgaria with the assistance of these powers has grab
bed considerable territory, but, she is due very shortly to
restore it. Where then will be "the fulfillment of her his
torical ambition?" Her king may have another drink or
two coming with the kaiser, but that will be the extent
of-the fulfillment of the central power's promises.
The dispatches yesterday announced more German
"kultur," was shown by a submarine firing on the boats of
a merchant ship she had just torpedoed. If criminal sav
agery and educated brutality can go further than this it
will be up to the kaiser's minions'to demonstrate it. Kill
ing women and children and firing on helpless men in an
open boat is the Prussian idea of civilized warfare. When
the war's over, if it is possible to single out the officers
guilty of these crimes they should be tried by court
martial and if found guilty shot the next morning at sun
rise, unless it was considered more in the interest of the
world to make an evening job of it. j

Exemption Board
Criminally Careless
In Certifying Men
Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 15.
If the- percentage of rejections for
physical reasons continues, it is esti
mated today that approximately 3700
men of the national army will be sent
home. Whether men to take the nlnces
of those rejected will arrive with the'
fourth quota, which is expected to be
gin coming in Wednesday, or whether
a new levy will be made to fill the
ranks, was not announced.
Between 15 and 20 men have been
exempted and returned to their homes
by reason of having dependent families,
A considerable number of others are ex
pected to be released later for the same
reason.
Examining physicians and high army
officers at the camp express indignation
at the careless action of many district
examining Boards m sending men hero
known to have dependents or those who
manifestly are unfit physically for ser
vice, ocverai men nero who were re
jected when they tried to enlist prior
to the draft were readily certified by
draft boards as fit. One instance is re
corded where a man in tho last stages
of tuberculosis came to camp from a dis
tance of more than a thousand miles
away. When questioned by army sur
geons, he said the home physician who
certified him for service abroad that
while ho knew the man would finally
be rejected, "the trip would probably
do him good." ' .

Salem Public Library
Has 12,857 Volumes
The total number of volumes in the
Salem public library October 1 was
12,857, according to the report of tho
librarian, Miss Flora M. Case. During
September 18 books were added by
purchase for the adult readers and five
for the juvenile.
The month showed a large increase
of circulation compared to one year
ago, as the September circulation of
this year was 3226 while one year ago
it was 2985. The average daily circula
tion last month was 140.
The patrons of the library number
6554. Those doing the heavy reading
have not begun their winter work yet
as the readers of fiction are greatly in
the majority. Those reading what
might bo called the more solid sub
jects will probably make a showing the
next few months especially as the Wil
lamette University students and high
schopl pupils will bo putting in their
calls for educational works.
As gifts for the soldiers and sailors,
the library has received 652 books.
These have been shipped to the centrnl
colecting library at Portland where
they will be assored and sent to the
different cantonments.

THE HOME LOVING MAN
(Sjvnopsis Jof preceding chapters:
Jason Jarvits is a homo loving man
He loves to sit about in his carpot
slippers reading the papers, and hs
loves his wife, Corona, dearly, but
hatos to hear her complain of hid
shiftless habits. Now, as she keeps
complaining of them from morning
till night, Jarvits finds it extreinoly
difficult to keep his mind on his pips
and his paper. He thinks of spending
bis time at a club or at movies, but
is inherently sueh a home loving mas
that the very thought is repungent to
him. So hestands his wife's unceasing
flow of words until one day something
he scos in the paper (while he is smok
ing his pipe) gives him a brilliant idea.

Kimmel, in charge of tho government
proving grounds at Sltinpinetoi.
"But it is my duty to warn you that
tne shock of the tiring is extremely
bad for tho ears. In fact, eighteen
men in the past week have been deaf
ened and honorably discharged with,
a pension."
. "I want tho job," said Jason Jar
vits firmly.
In three davs the drums of both
his oars were shattered.
Returning home joyously, he sub

bought four more pipes, and Settled
down to smoke and read contentedly
on his pension, entirely unaware as
to whether his wife was talking or
