' The outcome of the government's prosecution of the packers Is another cogent argument against tha law's delay. This case waa In tbe courts for ten years In one form and another. For ten years these men, the packers, were branded before the world aa al leged criminals. A speedy, direct trial upon tha merits of tha case, ar riving at an early verdict, would bare been mora just to tha ten ac cused man. On the other hand, the people, too, have suffered by this tedium of delay. ' But, while the Jury baa decided the case and Its verdict must be accepted, tha packers may not entirely escape criticism. Through tha moat skilled of counsel tbey resorted to every de vice and Instrument of a highly tech nical law In these ten years that of fered delay, and tlma aad again when It aeemed nothing more) could prevent the case coming to trial, an other Ingenious method sf continua tion waa devised and the case went over. 80, whlls the packers, them selves, have saffered' tha edlum and obloouy of Indicted "erimlnala, they have helped to bring tha reproach upon themselves by taking, advan tage of an nowise system la the courts.

" It goes without aaying that those New Tork primaries most be de nounced by disciples of reform aa a farce,' particularly since they turned out Taft delegatea instead of Roosevelt delegates.

March -To the Editor ot The Bee: A good many people, soma very sentimental ones, are terribly agitated aver the killing of those outlaws who murdered the. war den In tbe penitentiary at Lincoln, and were ready and anxious to shoot down any and everyone who in any manner resisted their escape. The whole com munity between Lincoln and Omaha was la deadly tear . of being atucked by those outlaws; scores at farmers and dtisena turned out. In their pursuit; certainly those people did not consider tbe affair a picnic or party of pleasure. for they all desired to see the desperadoes captured dead or alive. Among those who succeeded ia their capture and kin lug. were Chief Brlggs aad Troutan. both of whom have served on the police force of South Omaha for many years, and during those years perpetually car ried their Uvea ta their hands, and were always dauntless and courageous. Two braver men and better citizens flo not ezlst m any community. . Now, fellow citizens, it U a reasonable and logical proposition that ens of the murderers killed young Blunt whea he attempted to jump off tbe wagon and tndoa them, and - suppose Brlggs. Troutan or Sheriff Chase did cause Us death. It was a mere accidental Inci dent to the conflict but a lamentable affair, no doubt 80 far as loss, damage and compensation Is concerned. Mrs. Blunt and parents win receive all that right, which we all hopefully desire and expect South Omaha citizens are anxious to ardently endorse and defend our worthy and efficient officers and neighbors.

If the execu tive committee has used their best judg ment In presentlngto the voters of Omaha tha best material that they could have selected, I pity their judgment In lack of more political, ability.. , Not one of the candidates of their seleetioa has shown any success In his own business and how could, ths people of ' Omaha trust them with the municipal affairs of a great city?

H. E. HARDY. The Patent Deeletea Agfata. ' OMAHA. . March 17. -To tbe Editor ot The Bee: The mimeograph decision is not an extraordinary derision. I will make this statement: The trusts are not bulldel on the patent right laws as some of these gentlemen would have us believe. This recent deatstoa ta which the court compel a company or Individual to use a certs in Ink with the mimeograph U not any part of the' patent Uws. It la a part of the constitution relating entirely to ths subsUnce of a contract Suppose that you would sign a contract In good faith: would you be manly te abrogate the same without the consent of the other party? Now thl Is lb substance of the decision. A company signs a conlrae to make a certain piece of inachlnery which U protected by a patent In the contract the Inventor has required that such compear ase a certain kind of Ink. The company after signing the contract wants to continue the making of the machine, but doeq not want to use the ink. Tbe investor Insists upon the use of the tak according to the contract or disrontlnus the making ot the machine. The court says that the contract aut be lived up to or discontinue the maz ing of the machine. Now where can you see any horrors In. that decision? The patent Uws do net ' give the fn veator the power to compel the petrenj to ua any attrlbnt he may suggest In tins case It U the fulfilling of a con tract which baa been signed, which 1 weald atnwiy be a contingent contract. All of this roar U the foolishness of a lot at editors whs know nothing of Uw. and most ot them probably did not read tbe decision. It reminds me of tha position ef a lot of those chap oa the ; saeeess ef the airship. Brery machinist 1 knew from Ue start that the success of tbe airship eras all hot air. and time ; has shown the true, position ef tbe editor. Patent rights are one of the chief source at prosperity and they are at the bottom of the best principles of our modern civilization. An or this tau of the commentor aa to tha patent righ.. and the trusts ia pure, unadultrated hoi air. The patent laws ahould be re vised, but tbey ahould be re vised so that the Inventor will net have to spend a fortune to keep off infringement We should not be compelled to stay in court for twenty or thirty years while a trust or powerful comparry Is Infringing. We neeeT a patent court so that a bearing may be had In every state and -we want no appeals from that court except to the supreme court' ' Then we went it fixed so that there Is a good strong financial penalty for the act of Infring ing. The protect! oa of the Inventor will have a strong tendency to put the trusts out of business. WALTER JOHNSON. AsealllaaT Caae-reesleaal Glager. Pittsburgh Dispatch. .
