In our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female

drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.

Stockholm, Aug. 2S.-The interna
tional congress for the protection O.
industrial property, which has begun
its sessions here, Thursday took w
the discussion Of the British patent
act, in its effect on foreign countries
There are about $50 delegates in at
tendance at the congress, including q
official delegates, who represent that
number of foreign countries. Edward
B. Moore, United States patent com
missioner, said Thursday:
"The result Of the discussion on
England's new patent law probably
will be that the majority of the ma
tons belonging to the International
Patent union, will enter protest
against 1t and recommend to the Of
fetal congress to be held next year in
Washington that some sort of retail
factory combination against Great Bri-
tain be formed, thereby Great Britain
must either become party to their
proposition or be excluded from all
the benefits to be derived from such
a combination.
mo specific measures have yet been
formulated, but doubtless will be dur
ing the course of the congress. be.
lieve that the international congress
will not back down an inch in its at
titude on this subject"
Under the new law all articles pat
ented and sold in Great Britain must
be manufactured in that country and
the attempt on part of the congress to
have the law modified is of particular
interest to American manufacturers
Of machinery, largely used in BRITISH
factories, who, having obtained the
patent rights in Great Britain, con-
tinue to supply British factories with
machines made in the United States.
There has been widespread pro-
test against the Enforcement of this
law, particularly on the part of the
United States and Germany, but up to
the present the British government
has shown no signs of an intention to
modify it in any way.
The Stockholm newspapers, COM
menting on the congress, pay high
tribute to the Importance of Commits
sioner Moore's work therein.

Intelligent criticism of the courts is
Justifiable, but there should be no mis-
representation of them and defiance of
them must not be encouraged under
any circumstances. Referring to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clares that "the law is that labor or
CARNATIONS of this country are now
conspiracies and combinations in re-
straint of trade" Mr.. Gompers knows
better than this, and he should also
know that the doctrine he is preaching
is distinctly mischievous, if not actually
dangerous. 'Our standing, be insists,
lis menaced by the courts of the law"
Nothing of the kind; nor is it true, as
Mr.. Gompers would have it appear,
that labor unions have been OUTLAW
ed" If they have been outlawed, how
comes it that there are thousands of
them in existence throughout the ma
ton today, going about their business
without let or hindrance, doing what
they can to maintain wages, secure fair
working hours and in every possible
way to ameliorate conditions under
which their members earn livelihood?
What the courts have done is to for
bid and punish illegal acts done by GER
tain unions or in their name and behalf;
but the courts have done the same
thing with respect to combinations of
business men, or of individuals of
whatever class, or of persons in any
walk of life.

HIS PERSONAL ASSET.

1t seems that Mr.. bryan will continue
to be disturbing factor in the Demo
cratic party. For the past twelve years
he has held the party as a personal as
set; and he is not disposed to relinquish
that hold in the future, certainly not
until he is forced to do so. His recent
declarations, in interviews given out in
Texas. that he will not decline to be a
candidate in 1912 if the Democratic
party calls upon him, has provoked a
good deal of criticism in the Democratic
press. 1t has also caused some of the
Democratic papers to say some pretty
caustic things about those who criticise
Mr.. Bryan.
The New York World declares that
Mr.. Bryan is mercenary. There are
many Democrats as well as Republicans
who believe he is in politics very largely
from mercenary motives. And the per-
sistent determination of the Nebraskan
to keep control of the party, and to
lead it to successive defeats, well war
rant such an estimate of his motives.
The Richmond News Leader, which
supported Mr.. Bryan under protest in
the last campaign, says this about his
willingness or determination to lead the
party and be its candidate again:
why shouldn't he? He has nothing
to lose. The more prominently he can
keep himself before the public the more
persistently he can advertise himself.
the more money in his pocket, the wider
the circulation of the Commoner, the
more demand for his services and the
higher his pay as lecturer"
There is much solid truth in what our
Richmond contemporary says, but other
Democratic papers are showing resent
ment over the accusations. Some of
these who show resentment are still
sincere believers in the unselfishness of
Mr.. Bryan's motives. Other are re-
sentful because they are unwilling to
admit the true character of Mr.. Bryan
after so recently supporting him for
President and holding him up as a model
Of integrity and righteousness.
The News Leader is so indignant over
Mr.. Bryan's persistent ownership of the |
Democracy that it cries aloud for a
at the South to check and
efeat his expressed intention of con-

tinuing his control The News Leader

tinuing his control The News Leader
says:
The South can stop this game BY
some bold assertion of itself and allie
glance to its own self-respect. The
leading newspapers and some leading
men of the South can come forward
now at the beginning of the Bryan
boom snd announce once for all that on
no circumstances will they support
Mr.. Bryan for the Presidency in 1912:
that even if he is nominated by the
National Democratic Convention the
South will not vote for him."
This is pretty brave talk from our es-
teemed contemporary, but it can give
stronger color to its words if it will
make itself the first to publish such an
announcement.
Better do it right now. You remem-
Der the saying: He who hesitates is
lost" Mr.. Bryan, as surely as he lives.
VIII either be the candidate or dictate
the candidate of the Democratic party
in 1912. He will also dictate the plat
form of the party, and there is no tell
ing what new paramount issues he will
discover and promulgate during the
next four years.
We are very fond of our brilliant and
always interesting Richmond contempo-
rary, and if we live to participate in the
campaign of 1919 we do not wish to
witness the humiliation of our contem-
porsry as it swallows again the nause-
sting dose of Organism. Now is the
accepted time for the News Leader.

Fifth District Election.
Newport News Times-Herald.


Senator Parsons, Republican candi-
date for Congress in the Fifth District.
complains that he lost many votes by
reason of the fact that the name of one
Elliott Matthews, a lunatic, appeared
on the ticket. Matthews gave the
proper legal notice to the Secretary of
the Commonwealth of his intention to
become candidate, and it does not ap-
pear that the Democrats were in anv
way responsible for his candidacy. We
hope not. Great Indignation was aroused
In Newport News by the announcement
of the candidacy of ''W. L. Jones'" for
at first sight Democrats thought they
detected trick in it to draw votes from
w. j. Jones, the Democratic nominee.
But the Republicans were prompt to
discover and by their conduct soon con-
vinced the public that they were 10 no
sense responsible for the candidacy of
w. L. Jones. II they had ATTEMPTED
such trick, however, they would have
been denounced without stint by Demo-
Gratis, and we hope that there is no
ground for suspicion that Democrats in
the Fifth District had anything to do
with placing Matthews in the race.
Such political trickery on either side
will not be tolerated by the Virginia
public. Senator Parsons also alleges
that in the county of Henry compli-
Gated ballot, not unlike the. infamous
Scott county ballot" was used, to the
confusion Of voters and to his own hurt.
