Under present laws and rules the Commis sioner of Patents can do nothing to protect either, the honest patent lawyer or the inventor, except In cases of the most flagrant nature, and then It must come under this personal notice after : an application - has been filed in the Patent Office; but it Is thought that a Patent Bar ' to a proper extent under : the juris diction of Commissioner, of Patents, could easily compel the lottery pat ent solicitors and- the delusive cir cular patent solicitors to either re-t t , form their methods or get out of the business, In either case the inven tors and the honest patent lawyers jvould be gainers. , : Speaking of the probability-that - one more senators may be asked to toin!

Mr. Babcock was asked. "I think the bill which Congress wUf pass wiir be so adjusted as to afford ample protection to American industries and American labor, but framej upon consemtive lines.'; " , Upon the " matter of cabinet selec tions Mr. Babcock expressed the opinion that'nothing was settled in this direction.
