CONCERNING PATENTS.


Connecticut is quite as much interested
as any of the States in the improvement OF
the patent laws which is now heing con-
sidered by the house committee ON pat
ents- One of the changes proposed in the
existing law requires that a license grant
ed by patentee shall be recorded in the
patent Office and that it shall be void as
against any subsequent purchaser or mort
gagee for valuable consideration, with
out notice, unless it is recorded in the pat
ent Office within three months from the
date thereof. This requirement will pro-
tect purchasers of patent rights against
Misrepresentation regarding licenses
which have been sold, by enabling them to
find in the patent Office the record
of all valid licenses. Another re-
quirement of the same sort is that when
ever any court shall issue an Injunction
to prevent the transfer of letters patent t,
certificate may be filed in the patent Office,
signed by the clerk of the court, and
copy of the injunction and these papers
shall be duly recorded in the patent Office.
Whenever the injunction is dissolved or
modified, similar certificate may be filed
and recorded in the patent Office. Still
another section of the bill provides that
DEGREES of courts, passing the title to let
ters patent where the owner becomes in
solvent, may be recorded in the patent Of
fee and shall be effectual to transfer the
patent. The right to file caveat is ex-
tended by the proposed bill to all persons.
instead of limited, as at present, to citizens
of the United States.
These are all desirable changes Com
missioner Simonds has done good work in
preparing and explaining this bill.

Those who feel obliged to do what they
can to belittle the Republican victory in
Rhode Island are busy explaining that it
didn't amount to much, that the issue of
the frst State election in = political cam
paign is not always indicative of the re-
suit that is to follow. etc.. etc. But this
is pretty thin. The fact is, the result
was unusually significant and important.
Rhode Island has voted in favor of the
maintenance of the protective system
under which she has become one of the
busiest and most prosperous hives of in
dustry in America. The heavily increased
vote for the Republican candidate for gov
ernor implies of necessity, after the can
vass conducted on the divergent lines of
protection and 80 called tariff reform, as
strong aplurality for the Republican
party in November. And an examina-
ton of the vote reveals that the
Republican gains are we'll distrib-
uted throughout the State. In Prov
idenoe, Newport, Pawtucket, Woonsocket,
Lincoln, and in all the smaller towns
Brown, the Republican candidate, ran
ahead of the vote of last year. This is
good evidence of the influence of the most
thorough educational canvass on the tariff
question which the Republicans have ever
conducted in any New England State.
1t wont do, as the genial "Colonel Bob"
says. The Democrats were loud in their
assertions that the campaign meant a great
deal. The result doesn't mean any less
because it didn't happen to suit them.

WHAT Is 1T UP TO NoWa

What is the Board of Public Works
now up to in the stone crushing matter?
Some weeks ago, with brazen disregard
of the taxpayers interests, it awarded the
stone crushing contract without competi-
ton. 1t is very tired of that performance,
but pertinent question now is, what is
the real meaning of the vote passed on
motion of Commissioner States to ask the
Board of Finance for a transfer
to the stone crusher account to
buy new stone crusher placed
in the works last year by the contractors,
and also to place the plant under the
charge of the superintendent of streets.
Was the foxy commissioner looking to
the best interests of the taxpayers, or to
an opportunity for mending the dilapidated
fences of the 'Rings'
It will be remembered that ex-City En-
gineer Hill, after the completion of Con-
nor Brothers contract last year, made two
appraisals of the crusher plant-one, with
out the new crusher, making the con-
tractors in debt to tho city 800; the other,
including the new crusher, making the
city in debt to the contractors about $500.
1t is also a we'll known fact that this
work can be done much cheaper by con-
tract than by the city by day work. Sew
eral contractors would like an opportunity
to bid on the work, and some of them are
we'll supplied with crushers of their own.
Therefore why buy the new crusher unless
the board proposes to do the work
by the day, to employ the teams
of its henchmen and build up the "Ring''
machine at the expense of the taxpayers,
after the manner of the work on the now
famous Boulevard filling last fall.
If the Board of Public Works wishes to
guard the best interests of the taxpayers,
the proper and businesslike thing to do is
to settle with the contractors of last yea,
on the basis of the FIRST appraisal, and ad.
vertise at once for proposals for furnish
ing the crushed stone by contract. The
Board of Finance very properly declined
to recommend the appropriation asked fol
by the Board of Public Works And the
aldermen very properly declined to inter
fere with powers already possessed by the
Public Works board. The duty of thil
board appears very plain. It remains tt
be seen whether it will do it.

MY Guest.
iBy Anna T. Granniss


The day is fixed that there shall come to me
A strange mysterious guest;
The time do not know, he Keeps the date,
So all have to do is work and wait,
And keep me at my best,
And do my common duties patiently.
I've often wondered if that day would break
Brighter than other days
That might know, or wrapped In some strange
gloom,
And if he'd find me waiting in my room.
Or busy with life's ways.
With tired hands, and weary eyes that ache.
For many years I've known that he would
come,
And so have watched for him;
And sometimes even said "He will come soon!'
Yet mornings pass followed by afternoon.
With twilight dusk and dim,
And silent night times when the world is dumb.
But he will come, and find me here or there
1t does not matter when,
II SO be can smile and calmly take
His hand in these that often tire and ache
CThey will be idle them
And he will hold them with such tender care
That shall rest; for he who comes is Death
And folded to hts breast
Nothing disturbs, or earthly veal Or woe,
Nor will the great world ever think or know
That have had my guest,
Or miss the spark that vanished with my breath.

trying to run the lines, but each time he
has encroached on the land to which 9TH

advertised for taxes and possible solu-
ton has presented itself to the owner. He
says he is going to let the city sell the

Woman sometimes knows what she
wants. Two hardy women from Los
Angeles appeared at the land Office in San
ia Fe, N. M, couple of weeks ago, and
fled upon homesteads which they had
located. The land is on the eastern slope
of the Zuni mountains, and in, order to
reach the place the women had to travel
eighteen miles from the railroad station,
walking much of the time, because of the
bad roads, and often wading through two
feet of snow. A number of men were
waiting at the railroad settlement for the
snow to thaw, 80 that they could locate
claims, but the women said they had no
time to wait, and they waded through
the snow. A Michigan syndicate had
bought 100000 acres of railroad land in
that region, planned Improvements and
projected lumber mills, and as the indica-
tions were that three or four hundred peo-
pie were planning to found a colony there,
the women thought they saw a big future
and they put in their homestead claims.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The oldest newspaper in the world is
said to be the King-pan, or capital sheet,
which is published at Pekin, China. It
first appeared in Oil, and since 1912 has
not missed single weekly issue.
The president of the Louisiana lottery
says it will not move into Mexico or else
where. but that it will die at home, and in
its bed, after 1895, when its present char
ter expires. Its business is fast falling off.
It is related that society leaders in Lon
don have decided not to invite husband
and wife to the same dinner party. The
theory is that not only do they see enough
of each other at home, but that each talks
better and Is more entertaining in the ab-
sence of the other. A very cheerful the
ory.

Private Orderly Kfuuor, however,
they succeeded in administering chIoro-
form, and after the general had be-
come uucoucious, instead Of dressing
the wound they prepared to amputats
the leg. As soon as Tom Kintuer dis
covered their intention he drew his re-
yOIyer and declared that the first man
who undertook TO cut on That leg
would be a dead man. This brought
the proceedings TO a sudden stop, sud
during the interval oua OF the surgeons
privately told Riutuer that the leg
could Jo saved. The surgeons in
charge then concluded to dress the
wound without amputatioR, and while
Kintner held the generals head ia his
lap they extracted the bullet and shat
teFd pieces Of bone. Soon after Grssh-
am returned to consciousness, EIutusr

coived the earnest thanks Of the gen
