Patents Do Not Hold.

The case of the Bate Refrigerator Com
pany against Francis Sulzberger X Co..
upon which the question of American pat
cnts expire when foreign patents
have been previously issued. was decided
at Washington in an exhaustive opinion
by Justice Harlan of the |. :. Supreme
Court 1t is estimated that not less than
S6.O00.000 of capital hinges on the decis-
ion. which determines the status of many
valuable patents. The court held that the
invention for which Bate received Il pat
ent was previously patented in foreign
country and that the United States pat
ent expired with the foreign patent. The
decision is against the electric and other
patents involved i'll the decision of this
suit. There was no dissensiOn. The case
involves the construction of section 1881
of the Revised Statutes. which provides
that every patent granted for an inven-
ton which has been previously patented
in n foreign country shall be SO limited as
10 expire ut the same time as the foreign
patent or if there be more than one, at
the same time with the one having the
shortest term, and i'll no case shall it be

ly behind man who believed in tempe
rance and wanted the law enforced.
| "You are about to act on some things
of which you have only read in news
papers. Gov. Morrill, stood by me man
fully in my fight to have temperance
men appointed on the police board in
Kansas City. The appointments I sug-
gested were made in spite of the threats
of politicians and men who represented
the Brewers association. Gov. Morrill,
| IS the first man we have had recently
who has had the courage to stand up
against them and say the law shall be
| enforced.
"That is the situation in Kansas City.
II the law is not enforced in other cities
it is the fault of the people. We have a
gambling law also, and it is the fault of
the people if gamblers do not serve
their terms in the penitentiary.
'lf Gov. Morrill, said that the law
cant be enforced where public senti-
ment is against it, he is not the fl rst
man. Governor ST John said the same
thing.
'He can't enforce this law with militia.
He has the power to use the militia only
in an instruction in which there is
likely to be destruction of property and
bloodshed. He has to depend on the
police, and. brethren, l have looked it
up carefully and I want to say to you
that the metropolitan police law is a
farce.
Suppose a city like Leavenworth is
rebellious. He can only appoint out of
that rebelIious city three citizens of three
years standing TO stand up against the
rest of the rebels. They must appoint
the police force from among the rebels
and then he must ask the other rebels to
pay the police force for suppressing
them.
"We must get this question before the
people and out of politics Let US get
together and discuss it away from the
politicians The politicians are opposed
to prohibition and they hate Gov. Morrill,.
l love him for the enemies he has made.
Il know that he is Christian. temper
ate gentleman. In the army he was a
temperance man. He is one today
When D. r. Anthony says in his paper
that Gov. Morrill, wants saloons to run
openly in Leavenworth, d. R. Anthony
lies"
Mr.. Dougherty's speech was earnest
and there was a murmur when he sat
down. Rev. Mr.. belong of Arkansas
City arose and said:

have said about this question. but l do

tell him he must do his duty. AS it is
and in the light of his utterances we are
drifting into anarchy.

our county the other day and he told me

ton perhaps, The union must and shall

An enthusiastic brother in the back
part of the house here jumped up and
declared that it would do him good if
they would get into a riot at Leaven-
worth and the other towns and the gov
ernor would send the military over there
and "shoot the life out of the LIQUOR
business"

would SO change it and send it over the
