TITS UP TO EDITOR HILLsoN

We are not concerning ourselves
greatly with the governors private
affairs. What we are partic-
ularly concerned about, though, is the
public affairs of our state-thOse that
affect the interest Of every tax payer
in the state. And now that Brother
Hillson has acquired the habit Of CIV
ing away state secrets we think he
could write an interesting chapter on
the organization and ownership of the
Capital Publishing Company and state
printing contracts. For instance. he
might tell us who owned stock in this
concern when he was its manager
and to whom the stock was trans
ferred when his connection with the
business terminated, telling us spe-
cially whose stock is covered up in
a certain mortgage given to the Capt.
tai City Bank, etc The doing of his
might entail on Brother HillsOn a lit
tie self-sacrifce, but it is the oppor-
tunity of his life to do something real
ly heroic as a reformer.-Starke Tel

A SOFT ANSWER TURNETH AWAY
WRATH

President Roosevelt, on one of his
busy days, characterized Mr.. Jacob A.
Riis as the most useful citizen in
New York"
FcCu" q recent occurrence in which
NJ. Rs took part, we are led to be-
lieye tn, the president correct i'll
his reference to him. cor fifteen
years or more Mr. Riis and his assist
ants have been working in certain
sections of New York city to improve
them morally, socially, and in every
other way, and have succeeded in do
ing so.
Last Sunday. Father James R. Cur
ry, rector of the church of St. James.
referred to the work of Mr.. Riis in
the "slums' and social swamps," so
called, and denounced him as a char
ity CRATER. Father Curry said that
it was not for his love of the children
but that he was doing his work in or
der to perpetuate the Protestant the
OlOgy. He said that his efforts ought
TO be directed to the neighbOrhOods of
the uptown rich, where he would find
more immortality. That Mr.. Riiss
visits to the poor in the slums is only
bluff at charity, his true purpose be-
ing to spy into the homes, to gaze
into the private closets and reveal
the family skeletons. THE home of
the poor man. says Father Curry,
us as much his castle as that of the
rich man, and is entitled to the same
degree of respect"
Continuing, Father Curry said:
They call this section (mostly Jews
and Catholics) the unweeded and I'M
watered human garden, and use every
other vile name and OpprObious cpl
tibet expressive in depicting the con-
ditiOns that inhere only to the most
degraded of civilized humanity, and
swOOp down upon us like a flock of
magpies and began to rake muck with
vigor."
Father Curry's sermon was a very
vigorous roast and he hurled all sorts
of epithets at Mr.. Riis and his asso-
ciates.
Now, it is in his reply that makes
Mr.. Riis truly great.
He did not reply in kind His re-
ply was respectful and tolerant. 1t
was COuched in terms that lead one
to truly believe that ga soft answer
turneth away wrath"
He paid the Catholic church
through its dignitaries the highest
compliment. He said he was proud
to enjoy the friendship of Cardinal
Gibbons and other Catholic prelates
of this stamp. Our house. he said,
sis for all of Gods children. If Faith
er Curry will visit us at any time he
can see for himself, and he will be
accorded a most respectful treatment,
which he denies to u.s." Soft an
swers like this disarm criticism.
We believe President Roosevelt's
very high compliment was not a mere
random statement, as Mr.. Riis in his
rejoinder makes true the president 5.

THE PATENT SYSTEMS
HERE AND ABROAD

Il
Our own patent system will be
better understood by a brief com.
lparison with some of the principle
foreign systems. In America the pa
tent Office makes a careful examina-
tion before granting the patent to
see that patents are granted only for
novel inventions and that the claims
are restricted to monopoly to which
the inventor is Justly entitled. Thus
Jour patents have a prima facie valid
Iity. France, on the other hand,
|makes no examination before grant
ing patent, and requires no claims.
England has only just begun to make
preliminary examinations. Germany
subjects applications for patents to a
very rigid examination. The United
States requires no taxes of the pat
entee after his patent is granted, as
the price Of keeping his patent in
force for the seventeen years. Eng
land, on the contrary. requires taxes
paid annually after the fourth year,
and Germany and France requires
annual taxes. The United States does
not require the patentee to put his
invention into commercial use, but
France and Germany absolutely re-
quire II, and England will invalidate
a patent for an invention which is
chiefly abroad, but
only slightly or not at all In England.
In the United States. any of the de-
fenses to a patent can be raised in
answer to o suit for infringement,
and that at any time during the life
Of the patent In Germany the only

A denial of the charge OF Infringe

EXPERIMENT.
I'm STATE INSURANCE.

Consul General John P. Bray OF
Melbonrne. reports that the govern
ment Of the Australian state of Vic.
toria Is about to undertake the ex-
pertinent OF state insurance In con-
nection with the houses of settlers,
which the government has erected on
scheme by which repayments by
the occupants are extended over long
periods.
1t is estimated that the settlers
win have to pay to the government
for the state insurance OF the houses
what Is equal to an annual premium
of not much more than one-fourtb
per cent upon the value OF the prop
erty, whereas II companies did the
fnsuring the men would-accordin
to departmental estimates--have 10
pay at the rate OF between X per
cent and 1 per cent. The govern
ment has already accepted the re-
sponsibilIty for the $50 houses which

ing built. The houses are wooden,
and many OF them are situated In To-
calities where the fre-nghting ma
chinery is not OF the most modern
type. The companies offered TO III
sure the places at premiums varying
from s2.ss. to s4.25, allowing 10 per
cent discount, This would have cost
the $50 settlers the price of about
two houses year.
The government program provides
for the building OF 500 new houses
within the next two years. This will
bring the total number up to $50
houses. According to the depart
mental estimates, II the government

READY TO BACK
PFNLEroN MILL,

Active work towards the securing
of capital to back the wooden mil!
is now under way and this afternoon
those in charge declared their belief
that sufficient money can be secured.
Previous to yesterday half dozen
or more local people had pledged
themselves 10 take stock to the ex-
ed to do the same and today two or
three other wealthy men have offer
ed TO help.
1t is the intention to raiJe $4,000
This amohnt, II Is figured, will be
needed to purchase the machinery
and to serve as an operating field,
#. C. Taylor has taken up the work
of organizing the company and it is
hoped and also believed that within
a few days ample money for the en-
terprise will have been raised.
This afternoon J. p. Wilbur and
wife went to Athena to visit with the
latter's uncle, T. j. Kirk. They will
return tomorrow and will probably
return TO Union in the evening. How
ever, should his services be needed
here Mr.. Wilbur says he will remain
until the work Of financing the enter
prise is completed.
AS soon as sufficient money is Sc.
cured for the purchase and opera
tion OF the mill a formal proposi-
tion for the purchase of the plant
will be submitted to the Judds.
