VIII not the appellate division OF the

a decision upon the constitutionality
OF the tax exemption law? And this is
the reason why.
The Washburn Wire Co., who recent

ait Portsmouth. r. l., and who are about
to erect a large plant to cost in the
neighborhood Of $S55.0oo. have recently
notified the selectmen of Portsmouth.
through their council in Boston, that

to be held on Wednesday. asking that
exemption OF taxation for a term OF
years be granted them. similar to the
arrangements which are being made
with many other Rhode Island towns

When argument Is Of no avail where
with TO overthrow a stronger argument,
ridicule is the most available. as 1t Is.
in a popular sense. the most effective
weapon. Ii was not sense, but nom
sense. which overthrow Thomas Wilson
Dorr, here In Rhode Island. In 1s42.
Just now we have another illustration
OF this use OF ridicule in Boston, I'm the
closing of the terrible Gas Inquiry.
Mr.. II. c. Chandler. a lawyer employed
by one OF these gas companies closed
his argument" with these words:
"In closing / want to quote the second
chapter OF Genesis: God made man
and rested. God made the earth
and rested; and more recently. God
made T. w. Lawson. and neither God
nor man has rested since" This was
received with uproarious laughter, dur
ing which the gavel of the chairman,
convulsed with the rest, was unable To
be of any force.
After you have done laughing will
you kindly give thought to the ques-
tion whether II is wise. or safe TO per-
nit anybody TO expend $3.50, 900. in pur-
chasing laws, or decisions OF cases in
courts? II that was done, will ridicule

observations OF rainfall for over 200

the earliest observations were extreme

Facts OF this kind might be adduced

The New York Herald has this sum
mary of very interesting decision con-
cerning the use by publishers in this
country OF the term oxford" as ap-
piled to their editions OF the Bible. The
case came in the United States Circuit
court and Judge Wheeler issued the
injunction which is perpetual, from us
ing the word oxford Bible" The Her.
Rld says:
THE title OF the case was The chan
cellor. masters and scholars OF the Uni
versity OF Oxford against Willmore-
Andrews Publishing Company. A per-
petuaI injunction is granted the plain
tiff, with costs against the defendant
THE case was argued before Judge
Wheeler in the United States Circuit
court in November. The decision un-
qualinedly restrains the use OF the word
oxford except by the oxford Uni
versity Press, OF Oxford England. and
in effect says that the plaintiff is en-
titled TO the use of the word oxford
as the designation of the Bible which
the plaintiff publishes. The decision is
considered by lawyers OF especial inter-
est. because the oxford University has
been defeated in similar actions
brought in England.
The complainants alleged that there
were ten thousand errors in the Bible
published by the defendant. They pro-
duced the first edition OF the oxford
,~f, t..1
$500. at the trial. They charged the
defendants with fraudulently publish
ing and selling a spurious oxford Bible
and initiating the symbol used by the
oxford Press. The defendant asserted
that the Bible in question had been on
the market since 1891. and that the
symbol did not infringe on that OF the
Oxford University Press, which Is the
coat OF arms OF the university.
Judge Wheeler. I'm his decision, SAYS:
1T Is insisted for the defendant that
the name OF place OF origin cannot be-
come valid trade mark OF goods and
products and that oxford here is
merely the name of the city of the plain
tiff. and could not be exclusively used
20 distinguish the plaintiffs Bibles. But
this word is part OF the plaintiffs $
name, and as such has given name 20
the plaintiffs Bibles and has come 10
be a means Of showing their origin. The
use OF the name upon the DEFENDANT 3
Bibles had tendency to con-
fuse the plaintiffs use OF its name In
