Patents
Notice to Inventors.

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con.

work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual accessions

No Blanks in this Competition.


This is a competition Of rather an unusual
nature It ls common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risklng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing It, The architect whose com.
petitive plan for club house on a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on

briber is without principle and true patriotism.
The present agitation seeks to make II danger

votes. For if he uses his gold in that way,
contractor, OF a monopoly, or any vicious COM
bination, can bride him, whether he is city
official or member OF the State Legislature
and the treasury ever be raided by such OH
Gals.
The purpose of the Civic Federation is to
correct all these evils seeking thus for the sake
OF purity and good government the salvation
OF this great city. Our liberties Will be de-
Tended and our prosperity secured not by low
taxes but by sound principles, by clear conylc-
tlons, by voters who ere incorrupt1ble, by men
who hold offices who cannot be bought or sold,
by unbrlbed legislators and an unstained Jul
dietary. The federation has been seeking to
convince the legislators at Sacramento that the
so-called Waymire bill will secure the results
desired. If their efforts fail then with deeper
determination let there be an investigation by
the local moral and legal forces. The Powers

weakness is in the majority vote" OF the Grand

The rum power and "bossism" shall no
longer rule our politics if every true citizen
does his duty. The crisis is upon us and no

of the hour is imperative. The question at

The moral wave that is now in motion with
accommodating power means something. 1t is
the expression of the determination of true
citizenship to uncover iniQuity and political
corruption. That citizen who is indifferent to
