The editor of the Independent

Gratis in the recent legislature, and
if the democratic minority did not
do things as the editor of the DEM
ocrat would have done, it is possible
that they considered the opinions of
such democrats as John w. Kern,
Benjamin Shively and others of
more consequence than they did tine
opinions of the men who have been
damning the state central commit
tee for the past two years. The
editor of the Independent stands
Loyalty on the democratic platform
and will be just as loyal to the next
platform and he will tender the edi-
tor of the Democrat the advice that
he Will IND 1t more TO his adVant-
age, if he would bury his personal
feelings when it comes to politics
and not make such threats as "he
will probably get all he wants of
his insulting reference, ETC."
Mr.. Democrat, you cannot ac-
quire or hold political prestige by
trying to kick faithful party
workers out of the organization.
There are no democrats who APP
prove of such conduct in order to
crafty your personal feelings. You
will realize this some day, no doubt.

One would think that the editor
of the Democrat would be dignified
in his attacks upon another editor,
who is his competitor in business.
Calling a competitor two-for "a
nickel editor will not raise him an
iota in the estimation of the public.
Perhaps his "two- for a-nickle edi-
tor" idea flashed through his mind
while he was gazing into his mirror.

overerowded for many years, and its
magnificent corridors were disfigured
with book racks and other official inn
pedimenta. But when the new post
office department edifice was con-
structed, and that department was
moved from its quarters opposite the
interior department, the building
which it had occupied since 1916 was
taken possession of by the interior
department; and this gave an oppor-
tunity for the commissioner of pat
ents to so arrange the working force
of his Office that business might be
carried on in a systematic manner.
By wise provision of the consti-
tuition of our republic (artiele l, par
agraph of section 81, the congress
was given power to promote the prog
ress of science and the useful arts,
by securing to authors and inventors,
for limited times, the exclusive right
to their respective writings and dis
coveries. This portion of the con-
stitution vas obtained through the
efforts of S1ames Madison and Charles
Pinckney, and was the beginning of
the patent system. The first general
law providing for patents was passed
in 1890, and the first patent issued
was to Samuel Hopkins, July 81, 1870,
for making pot and pearl ashes.
Under this patent law the Office
fees were paid to the state depart
ment clerks who made out the pat

Ing the specification. The chief clerk
of the state department issued the
patent and received the fees as a part
of his salary Under this law, which
was repealed in 1893, there was no
patent office, and not even a division
of patents. A new law was passed
In 1898, and several amendments
made thereafter. The issuing of pat
ents, however, still remained in the
state department.
In 1900 the department ofestate re-
moved to Washington and took up
it's quarters at Pennsylvania avenue
and Twenty-first street; and in May
1902, President jefferson appointed
William Thornton as a clerk at 81, ,4ot

The effect Is said to have been magical

saved the patent Office from destruc-
tion.
In 1921 Thornton assumed the title
of superintendent, and was so regis
tered in the government blue book,
but it was not until 1880 that the
law recognized the title by specifically
mentioning the Office.
The 1910 congress authorized the
purchase of building for the post Of
fee and the keeper of the patents.
Into this building. where the post office
now stands, Thornton moved the rec
ords, etc, of the patent Office.
In 1916 the personnel of the patent
Office consisted of Superintendent
William Thornton, $i.400; Clerk VIII
liam Elliott, $500; and Messenger Benz
jamin Fenwick, S72 per annum.
DIR. Thomas Jones, who succeeded
DIR. Thornton as superintendent of the
patent Office, was born in Hereford
shire county, England, in 1774. In 1929
he founded the famous Franklin Jour
nal at Philadelphia. On April 10, 1928,
he removed to Washington and took
charge of the patent Office under
Henry Clay, secretary of state, This
position he held until after the organ
ization of the patent office under the
act of July 4, 1896, at which time
Hon. II. l.. Ellsworth was made COM
missioner at n salary of $4,000 per an
mum, and Charles NJ. Keller and DIR.
Jones were appointed the next year
examiners at salary of $1,000 per

DIR. Jones' reign were William Elliott,
clerk, at a salary of 81 900 year; Al.
exander McIntire, clerk, at $500, and
u. Fenwick, messenger, at S4o0. DIR.
Jones resigned his position in 1888 at
the age of g..
In 1886 a new law was passed which
was n return to the American system.
The law established the patent Office
as bureau under the department OF
state, and put it in charge of a chief
officer to be called the commissioner
