Important Trade Mark De-
ciSiou.

Lynchburg, Va, Feb. 4th, l907.-A
decision of Importance to all manu-
facturers of trade mark goods has
been awarded by Judge Pritchard in
the United States circuit court OF
this district.
The question involved was whether
the Allen Brothers Tobacco Co., of
Lynchburg, Va, has the legal right
to use OH its "Traveler" brand of
plug tobacco tag similar in size,
but different as to wording, from that
used by the r. j Reynolds Tobacco
Co., of Winston-Salem, N. c., on its
"Schnapps" Plug Tobacco.
In the argument, on motion of the
plaintiff, the r. j. Reynolds Tobacco
Co., that a restraining order be issued
forbidding the defendant company
from further initiating its tag, many
affidavits were submitted tending to
show that owing to the similarity of
the tags, the "Travelern tobacco,
purchased by dealers at lower
price, was sold to uneducated chew
ers for "Schnapps."
In decree signed by Judge Pritch-
ard, the Alien Brothers Tobacco Co.,
is enjoined from manufacturing, put
ting up, advertising, selling, or offer
ing for sale plug tobacco bearing a
tag identical with or like said tag of
the complainant, known as the
"Schnapps" tag.
According to this decision, no man
ufacturer can initiate even in color,
shape, or style of lettering, the trade
mark of another manufacturer, even
though the wording be entirely diff
erent.

GONE STARK MAD.

That the man Russell who came to
Florida clothed with the authority
of an attorney general of the United
States, and with the Paspose to con-
Wet F. j. O'Hara OF t4ae crime of
peonage is disappointed over his
double failure is more than evident.
He has the rabies, as note the fol-
lowing from the Times-Union of last
Friday:
I'm connection with the peonage
cases there has been recently issued
from the Pomar print shop, of this
city, pamphlet purpOrting to con-
tain the charge of Judge Locke to
the Jury i'll the last trial of F. j.
O'Hara, for peonage. The book, or
pamphlet, was given out by Assis-
tant Attorney General Russell. It's
outside cover contains the following:
'"Uuited States VS.. O'Hara,-Judge
LOcke's Instructions to the jury
For the Information of the People of
jacksonville )"
After giving what is purported to
be Judge Locke's charge, the book
contains the following paragraphs:
AiC JulSi alICl NSllDGIdIlLS
twelve minutes on the evidence, ar
guments and instructions, brought in
a verdict of not guilty, Messrs.
Elnig, owen and Risseau, having
voted guilty"
This paragraph was called to the
attention of a Times. Union reporter
by Mr.. John Einig, who was fore
man of the jury that brought in the
verdict of not guilty.
THAT statement is false" declared
Mr.. Einig. Nothing of the kind oc-
Cured in the jury room. Since the
attorneys for the prosecution have
made public such a statement as
that, and published it, as they say
for the information of the people of
jacksonville I will say what did
occur in the jury room. There was
but one vote for guilty and the juror
who cast that vote said he did so as
as he did not think it would be prop
er to bring in verdict so quickly af-
ter retiring. On the second ballot
every vote was for not guilty The
man who says that / voted for a YER
dict Of guilty is lot telling the
truth, and l will 20 before the court
If necessary and say so. You may
publish what | say in regard to this.

AIM OF COMMON
SCHOOLS,

1--WE are among those who hold
that the safety Of our free institu-
lions and the perpetuity and ad-
vancement of our civilization are de-
pendent upon the moral and religi-
Gus training of our youth. If our
public schools are to be forbidden to
give religious training, then the boys
and girls of our state should be given
instruction in our UNCONVENTIONAL
schools before they are throwG out
upon the world and brought in con-
tact with its temptations. From
address of A. M. g. Russell, presi-
dent Florida Teachers Association.
The teaching of religion in the
common schools has been the cause
OF some friction in certain parts of
the country, more particularly
among those who contend for secta-
rian instruction, but up to the pres
ent time the News has had no ink
ling of such controversy in Florida.
We trust the above warning note
from the president of the state teach
er's association does not foreshadow
such an event in this state.
Most people are agreed that the
prime purpose of our common school
system, that for which it was or
dained, kept in mind from its very
inception, in the making of good
citizens.
The teaching of text books is but a
means to an end. The object to be
aimed at is the making of character.
1t is necessary that the future citi-
zen should be taught to read and
write and spell and compute. But it
is far more necessary that he should
be taught to live soberly and right
eously, loving justice and hating
wrong, having respect for authority,
regarding duty as above pleasure
and purity above all things.
Therefore, whatever is necessary
to be studied in order that such les
sons may be inculcated should be
employed.
If the proper study of history and
biography and music and drawing
and the manual arts contribute to
the teaching of truth and justice and
beauty and purity then these studies
are necessary part of education.
Above all other things the public
schools must teach ethics. The
three RS are all right in their place,
but it should never be forgotten that
the one great purpose of the Ameri-
can schools is to put moral fiber into
the coming citizen.
And it is not necessary in order to
accomplish this that the schools
should teach anything smacking of
sectarianism.
