Patent Office DeeIarslaFraud.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 49,
President Taft has been inform
ed that the system in vogue il
the United States patent office
is delusion and a snare and
that, as result, trusts and pat.
ent lawyers are able to work
great injustice on inventive
geniuses. This advice went to
the chief executive in letter by
VIM. Fetzer, of this city, owner
of an implement manufacturing
plant and himself the holder of
rs patents.
''In 1909," the letter says,
ISL, 3O9,735 was invested by in
ventors with Uucle Sam for 81
421 patents and as much more
again was paid by such invent
ors to lawyers for these patents
which when issued, are a fraud
and a misrepresentation in 99H
per cent of the patents issued.
The founders of the patent Office
wisely provided that the patent
should be subject to contest at
small expense within the patent
office for two years after it's
issue, so that an inventor could
rightly be assalled by a compel
itor, but it has now become the
practice to depend upon corpo-
ration lawyers before the federal
courts to destroy these rights of
the patent, to influece the federal
judges to repudiate the promis-
es and the rights granted by
our government by the letters
patent.
1.-The patent Office will afford
the inventor no recourse against
his lawyers dishonesty. Our
forefathers intended the patent
department as a blessing and
protection to young men of in
dustry. but it has gradually
been changed into a hog trough
for the liberal feeding of low
grade lawyers who are being
paid to gold-brick the inventor"

Shut hoGata.

Because it NAV save some
thoughtless young person from
getting into serious trouble.
We mention a matter which
under other circumstances we
would not mention. Parties go
ing out in the country on pleas
ure, as fishing or hunting, or
simply riding, have a habit of
crossing fields and leaving gates
open. This is especially true on
the road to Spring Greek. Farm
ers who complain of persons
taking these short cuts have
finally locked the gates, only to
have locks broken or gates re-
moved from the hinges. Some
have been recognized and if the
offense IS repeated they will find
themselves in serious trouble in
the courts.
A glass enables a farmer to
recognize persons at long dis
lance in the day time, popularity
of vehicle, or horse tracks give
an indication which a little judi
cious inquiry leads to the Of
fender. The straying of stock
is serious loss of time if the
stock are recovered, and if not,
greater loss, which a farmer
will spend money to protect him
self from. 1t is a small matter
to shut gate, but the better
plan is to follow the highway.

Baptist Briefs

Ihankfulness. list Thess. ia.
One of the most attractive character
istislics of Christian is a spirit of
thankfulness and one is very hap.
PLY constituted who is able to find
cause for it in the wearied situations
of life. The maxim that became
the ruling principle of Paul's life
was: '1n everything give thanks. :"
And in accordance with this princi-
pie We see him blessing God where
the average man would be finding
fault and where we begin to feel
gratitude he goes into raptures.
Thus every letter of his, except
one, is begun by thanking God for
certain good which he sees in those
addressed. So in this text he thanks
God for their earnest Christian life
manfesting itself in their work of
faith, toll of love and patience of
hope. This is not as some have
supposed, a disagreement between
Paul and James with reference to
faith and works, for while neither of
them teaches salvation by works,
so neither one teacher salvation by a
dead or fruitless faith. If anyone
thinks to be saved by faith that
does not manifest itself in good ac-
complishment, that one had better
reexamine the evidences of his sal
walton. While things accomplished
are the evidences Of faith, so it toll
the proof of love. If the husband
makes loud professions of love for
his wife and yet fails to provide for
that wife's Comfor. we doubt the
of those professions. |
If the wife fails to make the home
tidy, clean and pleasant we doubt
whether she loves him. lust so as
we prove our love for our families
by toiling for them, in the same
way does God expect that we make
our love for him known.
Then our hope is evidenced BY
our patient endurance and vigorous
evangelism. Our efforts will be
strong or weak according as our
hopes are great or small, and even
as our efforts are SO will be the re-
suits of those efforts.
The reason why this church has
oeen used in the accomplishment of
great things is because their faith,
nope and love has been great. Thus
he pastor can join with Paul il
banking God for their work of
aith, toll of love and patience of
rope.
