After 30 years of continuous bust
ness Edward T. Burrowes of Portland,
famous as one of Names greatest
manufacturers, Thursday, retired
from active business. He was the
founder of the firm which is known
by his name all over the country. For
several years he has contemplated,
but only at present time did an OPP
portunity present itself for him to
transfer his official duties to associ-
ates in his company. He will continue
to be financially interested in the con-
Germ.
According to paragraph in the
Rockland Courier-Gazette, Mr.. and
Mrs Maynard Willis of that city had a
narrow escape, Monday afternoon,
from injury and perhaps death for
while they were out looking for a new
rent the double tenement at the cor
ner of Brick and Portland streets,
which they occupied, collapsed. A. X.
Willis, father of Maynard Willis, and
totally blind, was seated on the back
steps and narrowly escaped being
buried by bricks from the demolished
chimney. The occupants of the other
tenements were uninjured.

The Presidential Term

The Senate resolution in
troduced by Senator Works OF
Californinia xte Il d in g the
presidential term from a. to E
years and prohibiting a second
term is receiving warm and
UNIVERSAL support from busi
ness men and voters in all
parts of the country.
Senators and members of
the House of Representatives,
are hearing from their consti-
tuents in clear and emphatic
letters on this subject, SO last
week Representative Clayton
Of Alabama (Dem) introduced
the same resolution in the
House and it is believed that it
will receive the requisite ma

resolution the constitution is

The Homestead Bill

Keen disappointment is felt
over the fact that the House
and Senate conference commit
tees have been unable to agree
upon the three-year home
stead bill - a matter of great
importance to the western
states. There is no lack of de-
termination among the Mem
bers from the west to push
this important legislation, but
where the two Houses are log
gerheads, the prospect for &C
tual results are very much
obscured, and while the friends
of the measure have not re-
laxed their efforts, yet there is
no question but what they feel
somewhat blue over the pros
pect of action of the present
session of Congress.

Community Progress and the
Standard of Living

In the discussion of the al
legged high cost of living it has
been pointed out by James j..
Hill and others that one factor
is the fact that we are all in
clined to live more expensive
ly. Living costs us more be-
cause our tastes have become
more expensive.
That, however, is a matter
of congratulation rather than
regret. In the natural order Of
progress it is difficult to see
how any other condition OF
things is possible. If, with the
progress of agriculture and the
introduction of labor-saving
machinery, it is possible for a
farm worker to produce a larg-
er crop than formerly by his
years labor, it necessarily fol-
lows that a smaller proportion
of our population must be en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits;
and it follows also that the
farmer, prospering from his
increased output, must wear
better clothes and live in a
better house and buy pianos
and automobiles, in order to
supply demand for the manu-
factured products turned out
by the larger proportion of the
population which must be sup
ported in manufacturing and
mercantile occupations.
If all the inhabitants of the
entire country were ambitious
to get through life as cheaply
The Winslow mail., 1912-05-18

as possible, it would follow as
a matter of course that the
earning capacity of the entire
country would be reduced; be-
cause high earning capacity
means high productive capaci-
ty, and high productive ca
pacity means there must be
somewhere a consumptive de-
mand, and that is produced by
the purchasing requirements
of the individual.

A. Bill to Amend Patent Laws

A Bill has been introduced
to codity the Patent Laws.
This bill was prepared by the
officials of the Patent Office
all of whom are Republicans
and if the bill should pass in
its present form it would put
the Democrats IN a very awk-
ward position in the coming
congressional and presidential
campaign.
AT the present time anyone
who produces a "new and use
full" invention and who applies
for patent thereon in accord
ance with the law will get
patent. This bill provides that
the invention must not only be
new and useful" but the
Patent Office officials are EN-.
powered to determine whether
or not the invention is of suffl-
clent Importance to warrant
the issuing of the patent.
This is really a revolution ary
step, for the Patent Officials
are not competent judges to
determine the question of i'm.
portance and it will be putting
dangerous power with a temp
tation to graft into the hands
of this Government bureau
rocy.
The bill has also other radi-
cal departures, one Of which is
that it would enable the off,
cials o1 the Patent Office to
prevent any more young men
from engaging in the Patent
practice as no firm or attorney
can reach inventors without
sending out circulars and
pamphlets. This bill provides
that before any firm shall llsend
out circulars or literature they
shall first be submitted 20 the
Patent Office, and if the Pat
ent Office considers that they
are improper" then the cir
culars or literature cannot be
sent out.
The word proper" is a
broad and sweeping word be-
cause it leaves it to the Patent
Office to determine what is
proper" and what is not, and
by placing this power in their
hands they could destroy any
patent attorney they choose.
The bill i'll this particular in
fringes the rights of the Post
Office department as they have
the right to bar anyone from
the mails who sends out false
or deceptive literature, but the
Patent Office is striving to be
empowered with the extraor-
dinary authority of passing on
what they consider is proper
or improper.
However, it is not believed
that Congress will be so stupid
as to pass this bill in its pres
ent shape, or anything similar.

Rings are charming and unusual this
season-the Egyptian scarab, jade

favorites.
On the newest blouses one sees the

Many of Pensacola's well-known
men and women have been numbered
among the students who have studied
under the direction of the Sisters at
the old convent. which is now to be
torn down, and the removal of this al
most ancient landmark is attended
with much sentimental interest by
those who still hold dear the bare
walls. and funny little seats used so
long and continuously.
Now that the Sisters are so pleas
