THE MEANING
OF HOME RULE

Home rule as applied to the
temperance or liquor question,
means just exactly the same thing
AS when applied to any other
question, /. e., that the people
shall decide. And any citizen,
class or interest that is opposed to
the people sitting in Judgment
with regard to anything and every
thing affecting their interests,
does not understand the meaning
of "Americanism lis seemingly
unaware of the fact that this is "a
government of the people, for the
people and by the people, -
Advocacy of country local OPP
tion, for instance, does not neces-
sarily imply that the advocate is
an enemy of the liquor interests.
Rather be it said that he is a
thorough American citizen, be-
lever in home rule, and would not
only submit the vexatious liquor
problem to the people for settle
ment, but stand by the people s
decision, whatever it proved to be.
And in giving consideration to
the utterances of Samnel A..
Hoskins, Democratic candidate
for secretary of state, the fact
must not be lost sight of that Mr..
Hoskins simply adds the liquor or
temperance question to the many
other important measures with
which the machine politicians
have been "dilly-dallying" for
many years, and says the people
will be permitted to decide in
event of Democratic victory.
Thus county local option is Il
part and parcel of the "home-rule"
program indorsed by the late Gov,
ernor Pattison and so ably adj
vocated by Samuel A. Hoskins.
Whether the machine politicians
will be permitted to rule or wheth-
er the people themselves will pass
upon all measures affecting their
interests, is IA question that must
be decided on November 6. Do
you fear the peopleP If so, vote
the Republican ticket nominated
by Dick, Foraker and Cox, and the
bosses will decide for you. But
if you haye confidence in the
people, if you believe in majority
rule, if you believe in true Ameri-
can citizenship, you will give in
dorsement to home rule by voting
the Democratic ticket.

THE ENEMY BEHIND.
Hsw q Hunter In Africa Was Saved
by His Eyeglasses.

In writing of his hunting adven-
lures in Nubia in Harper's, Captain
r.. G. s. Speedy tells how he was
saved from the attack of native
by the reflection in his glasses.
"After a slight refreshment l
spread my sheepskin rug a couple
of yards off and, turning my back
to the fire, kept lookout in front,
as owing to the precipitous stony
cliff that rose on three sides Of our
camping ground found it was next
to impossible for any one to enter
except in that direction Suddenly
log which had been charred quite
through fell asunder, throwing out
large shower of sparks, while
bright fame shot upward. To my
surprise ] beheld before me an ex
traordinary sight which held my at
tention fixed, though for moment
| did not realize what l saw. I'm
mediately before my eyes was the
diminutive figure of a native, eyi
IDENTIFY, from his mop of hair, one of
the Hadendoa tribe, but only about
two inches in height, spear in hand,
which he was quiyering up and
down us if on the very verge OF
striking blow, a iiendish grin dis
torting his countenance. My as
tonishment lasted but an instant. ]
quickly perceived that this was the
reflection in nay spectacles of an
enemy behind me, who must have
slipped in while ! was doing, and
that l was the object of the aim
which in another second would have
proved fatal There was not time
either to rise OF turn, but, finging
myself backward, | seized the saw
age by his fool and, pulling him
forward, happily upset him on his
back and closed with him.
"1'he excitement and breathless-
ness of the struggle prevented me
from calling out, especially as | had
at first great difficulty in retaining
my hold of my foe, owing to the
slipperiness of his greasy skin, but
the sand which stuck to him as we
rolled over and over together soon
enabled me to obtain a better grip.
Luckily in our rough and tumble
contest we knocked up against one
of my hunters, WHO, although sound
asleep till that instant, was on his
feet in twinkling and quickly set
tied the matter by slipping cord
around the elbows and legs of the
man, who was thus secured"

EMBARRASSING.

A funny story is going the rounds
in which the chief actors were one
of the judges Of the high court and
well known barrister. During the
hearing of case the judge left his
seat to look for law book and fc-
few minutes was hidden by the
screen. Just as he disappeared
from view the barrister hurried into
court and, seeing the vacant chair,
remarked in loud tone, with char
acteristic testiness:
"What! Is the old fool gone to
luncheon ?"
To his chagrin the Judge popped
his head around the screen and,
with smile that was childlike and
bland. replied:

LAyL|N'S
QUEER
RULING.

Secretary of state Laylin made
a curious ruling to-day that may
have the effect Of causing trouble
at the coming election. 1T is pro-
vided that the presiding Judge at
the polls "shall be chosen from
the Judges OF the dominant party
in such precinct as determined by
the next preceding election. i"
The Secretary, as Chief Supervisor
of Elections, holds that the general
results in the precinct shall con-
troll this determination. Accord
ing to his ruling it will not suffice
that Governor Pattison carried
the precinct, which was true in
hundreds and hundreds of them
all over the state.
His plan is that the Judg geship
shall go to the party which elected
lloSl Ol luG CdHuludbGS, anu Uudb
the head of the ticket shall count
only as one candidate 1t is differ
ent when it comes to placing the
tickets upon the ballot as the law
provides that this result shall be
determined by the vote for the
head of the ticket. Because of
this fact the Democratic ticket
will lead the ballot this year.
But why it does not apply to pre-
cinct as we'll as the state no one
but Mr.. Laylin appears to know,
That this ruling is likely to cause
confusion is apparent upon it's face.
There are 4, 230 voting precincts
in the state and a separate ruling
will have to be made upon each.
Whether this is to be done by the
Boards of Election or by the judges
themselves is a matter not yet de-
cided.

Amateur Essays.

Apropos of extrayagant education
there is no more utter waste, wheth-
er in board schools or those OF
higher class, than essay writing by
children. A poultry paper quotes a
little boys effort on that subject,
"Geeee is nasty animal, for they
will jump up your back and beat
YOU with their feathers" writes this
budding literary genius, and "the
turkese is large kind Of hen"
This may be an extreme instance,
but it furnishes the text for an es-
say on "geece" of quite another
kind.-LondOn Sketch.

Shelley called on Southey one
afternoon and found the latter and
his wife at tea. Southey eyinced
such an appetite for buttered cakes
that Shelley was shocked and at
last broke out with: "Southey, I'm

see a man like you greedily devour-
ing this nasty stntfw Mrs. Southey
came to her husbands defense with
long TRADE, during which Shelley,
abashed, put down his face and GU
riously scanned the cakes. He broke
off a bit and yentured to taste it.
Then he began to eat as greedily as
Southey himself. When he went
home his verdict on the cakes was
summed up in the report of Harriet

gagged: eve were to have hot tea

RIGHTS UNDER A PATENT.
Each Of the Three Constitutes espa
rate Monopoly

To make, to use ard to sell are
the only ways in which an invention
is capable Of commercial enjoyment.
The patcntec can, il he wishes, SIT
down and not only not use the in
vention himself, but prevent Others
from making or using or selling the
patented thing. If any one else
makes, uses or sells the subject of
the patent the courts will grant the
patentee an injunction against fur
ther infringement and u recovery Of
the profits made.
Each of these three rights-to
make, to use and to sell--is a sep
arate monopoly and may, by proper
instruments, be granted or sold sep
arately. For instance, patentee of
a machine could grant to manu-
facturer the exclusive right to make
the machines for him (of course un-
der proper restrictions as to price,
etc.), and the manufacturer would
be an infringer if he used the ma
chimes or sold them to others. The
patentee could then grant to a job
Der the exclusive right to sell the
machines (reserving proper compen-
sation to himself, such as IL percent
age of the profits), and the jobber
would be an infringer if he either
made or used the machine. The
exclusive right to use the machines
could then be granted to given
consumer, who in turn would have
no right to make or sell the ma
chimes.
The exclusive right to use an in
vention for each of several given
purposes can be separately sold. For
instance, patentee of process for
making watch dials not only sold
the exclusive right to make watch
dials by that process, but he also
sold to a separate company the ex-
elusive right to use the process in
making enameled signs under the
same patent. The watch manufac-
turer would have been an infringer
if he had made signs and, vice versa,
the sign manufacturer would have
been restrained from making watch
dials.
A process of drying gunpowder
was found to be applicable to dry
ing breakfast foods, and the owners,
after getting all they had ever look
ed for from the patent from the
gunpowder rights, reaped second
and unexpected harvest from the
sale of the rights for breakfast
foods. The rights under a patent
for q machine can be divided in the
same way.-Edwin j. Prindle in
Engineering Magazine.

value of Cement Gravel.

Many of the roads in the neighbor-
hood of Savannah. Ga, have been i'm
proved with cement gravel, which is
said to resemble asphalt in its finished
condition. The cost has averaged
about $1,000 per mile, and sections that
have been in use for eight Or ten years
are reported to be in good condition
at present. Gravel. mari and clay are
the constituents of these roads. as they
are of good concrete. There are about
thirty miles of this kind of roadway
already contructed, and as result
there has been added to the ratable
property of the city about $5O0,000 for
automobiles alone.

Insects and odors.

The ordinary perfumes of every
day life have a distinct use in the
destruction of microbes, and this is
especially the case with some of the
essential oils which are used in
cooking and in medicine. CHINA

for favoring, will kill some mi
crobes within quarter of an hour,

yantageous in the destruction of the

thing from the bacillus when it is
inside our anatomy. Cloves, too,
can destroy some specimens of bac-

quarters Of an hour, while geranium
flowers have a similar action, though
it takes rather longer to develop it.

PASSENGER
RATE DOWN.

Passenger rates have gone to
smash in the Central Passenger
association territory.
The Hooking Valley will an
nounce a Hat rate of Sc, 80 to
Chicago instead of the present
rate $S 35, the Ohio Central will
do likewise and all the smaller
roads in this territory will get
down to fiat two-cent basis to
points outside of Ohio as we'll as
in the state in order to meet the
competition which the new mileage
books issued November l by the
Pennsylvania will cause.
Among other roads that have
taken part in the fight are the c.,
II. IL D., which will give two
cant rate to Indianapolis, to Deca
tur, Illinois, and to other points,
the present rate outside of Ohio
being three cents.
At the meeting of the Central
Passenger association held Wednes
day in Chicago to discuss routine
matters, the situation was brought
to head by CAPTAIN Fisher, rep
resenting the Hooking Valley and
incidentally speaking for the
smaller roads. He took exception
TO the announcement of the
Pennsylvania that G. 2. A. books
would be sold at $25, with rebate
of 90, or in other words at a
fiat two-cent rate for the whole
territory,
''It looks to me-" said General
Passenger Agent Fisher, ''as if
this was but the beginning of a
two-cent rate throughout the G.. z.
A. territory. The action of the
Pennsylvania, of cours e, precipi-
tateu the matter, but the general
trend of eyents since the two-cent
rate went into effect in Ohio has
been toward twO-cent fare
throughout the whole territory.
The smaller lines in Ohio will not
be affected by this move as they
are already down to that basis. ="
Captain Fisher said that in the
future if his road wished to arrange
a special rate for conventions or
excursions il would be able to do
SO without the aid OF an expensive
bureau.
The opinion OF passenger men
in this city is that the action of
the roads at Chicago Wednesday
mean the dissolution of the power
ful agency for holding up rates,
the Central Passenger association,
and case of every road for itself,
subject for regulation only to state
and interstate laws. One effect
will probably be the return TO old
excursion rates next year. The
@. P. A. territory includes the re-
gion north of the Ohio from New
York TO the Mississippi.
