The following is from the Nation
al Democrat, published at Wash
ineton, D, G.:
william A. 0ldfeld, Of the Sec
ond Arkansas District, is at present
one of the busiest men in the 62nd
Congress- He is chairman of the
Committee on Patents, and is the
author of the bill to codify and re-
wise the patent laws of the country
A subcommittee Of the Committee
on Patents, appointed by Mr.. Old
field, have held exhaustive hearings
on sections seventeen and thirty
two of the bill. Section seventeen
of the bill provides for compulsory
license. 1t Is the object Of this
section to prevent common prac-
tice of what Is known as locking
up" Or "pieeon-holine" valuable
patents to the detriment of the
public.
Section thirty-two seeks to cure
the defect In the law as eXemplllied
by the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Henry vs. Dick
case. Under the patent laws OF to-
day, The manufacturer of a patent
ed article can dictate how his pat
ented machine shall be used by the
purchaser, and he can also fix the
price at which his manufactured
patented article shall be sold by
the retailers to the consumers OF
the country,
Mr. 0ldheld does not think tha
manufacturers of either patented ol
unpatented goods should be per
mitted to fix the price of thei
goods after they have passed out o
their hands. He thinks this prac
tice of manufacturers Of fixing th'
resale price Of their goods has
GREAT deal to do with the high cos

ago, Lifus Davis, one of the gang

he, with Ben Sears and Howard
Sayers, two Others implicated In
the recent bank robbery, lay in am-
bush for Moore and when he ap-
peared they shot him down. The
reason given for this was that
Moore had threatened to kill them
for the alleged theft Of one Of his
cows.
Many amusing incidents took

dives to cities the right to issue

interested want an issue OF bonds

can't see why this amendment

:. :.
Act No. 1 is the Turner-JacObSon
revenue measure. The Record
exhausted itself on this particular
measure some time ago. In his
campaign for reelection Governor
Donaehey was utterly routed in his
advocacy of this BILL The Turner
Jacobson bill has some friends
but it has great many more enc
mics than friends. The result of
the September election will show
that statement to be true no doubt.
:. :. ::
The Record wants to again call
the attention of voters to the fact
that in order to carry and become
adopted a propose amend
ment must receive a majority of all
the votes cast in the election, not
merely a majority of the votes cast
on the particular subject in ques-
ton. For instance: If there
should be 100000 votes cast in the
next September election, to carry
an amendment must receive more
than half that number of votes. If
there should be $4,000 votes cast
flor an amendment and only
10000 votes should be cast against
it the measure would not be declar-
ed carried. Those who do not vote
at all on a proposed amend
ment really cast a negative vote.
This shows the Importance OF all
the people being prepared to cast
an intelligent ballot on every propo-
sition submitted to them. Some
good measures may be defeated
through the neglect Of those voters
who SO to the polls unprepared to
vote upon them.
:. :. :"
There are good many proposed
acts and amendments to be voted
upon in the September election,
and as eagh will appear on the bal
lot by number only, it is easily
seen that the voter Is liable to be-
come confused in these numbers
unless he gets them thoroughly
fixed In his mind. We should
think that very few people will
want to vote against the amend
ment proposing shorter sessions of
the legislature, yet If the voter does
not know that this measure Is on
the ballot as Amendment No. l3"

band went down to a watery grave,

Mrs. Chaffee has not been In very

effect that her condition was anything
but satisfactory.

and Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Strand Of

meet her. Mrs. Straud is daughter.

OF Fort Totten, coupled with the fact
a government secret service agent
was in the city, the sale of whiskey
to Indians apparently continues as

The sight of drunken Indians about

the $50, 900 payment was made by the
government
The condition has grown to suci
an extent that business men, who
have the welfare of the city at heart,
are ready to join in some action to
prevent the government agent "black-

impossible for the Indians to come
here to trade in the future.
