MY fellow citizens: ! come pleading
fo- Won men to let the women vote. Do
YOU believe in the way Mrs. fankfiurs:
is trying to get votes? No, do not.
do not believe in smashing up the
windows. but I do think you ought TO
let us vote.
"Why shouldn't we help to make the
laws Of our country? The ignorant men
are allowed to vote, but the educated
women are denied this privilege. This
Is not right and every sensible man
knows it.

Glasses With Police Frequent in Var
ious Localities.
Berlin, March 12.-Five policemen
anfs many strikers were injured in a
riot near Hemborn, district of Bussel-
dorff, today, in which 1000 striking
coal miners attacked the froce Of Of
fcers, on guard with revolvers and
stones. The police charged with
drawn sabers.
Collisions between strikers and po-
lice and non strikers occurred today in
six or eight localities in the coal
regions At several places workers
were stoned and the police used their
sabers in dispensing the strikers. but
the Number Of casualties is not re-
ported.
7 Owing to the disturbances the chris
ton trades unions and the mine own
ers telegraphed to the minister OF the
interior to send troops to reinforce the
police in the coal districts. The po-
lice authorities assert the police pro-
lection is sufficient. 1t is probable that
interested parties art painting the sit
uation in colors darker than justified
in order to procure large forces of po-
lice for the disturbed districts.
The strike is making considerable
progress in all districts. Many Of the
mines today worked with but one of
the three shifts ordinarily employed.
Arrangements have been made for
miners willing to work to enter and
leave the pits by daylight to prevent
disorder. A small union of the holsters
Joined the strike today.
The owners have invited committees
representing the miners from the indi-
yidual mines to meet in conference to-
morrow but figures issued to-day show
that the increases of wages demanded
by the miners can not be granted ow-
ing to tho financial position of the
mining cnmpanleS.

lasain1 pS06f 20 csmbiyse.
washinkton, March 1.-The supreme
court yesterday held that the owner OF
a patent has an unrestricted monopoly
ypon all articles used in its operation.
may AK its price and prescribe Its use.
Thereby the court laid down broad
principle Of doubtful application to
many OF the governments important
antitrust suits now perdtpg which IN
volve questions Of patent rights.
The court stood to 3. Chief Justice
White, with whom Associate Justices
Lamar and Hughes agreed, in spir-
tied dissenting opinion, voiced his dread
OF the results Of the courts work.
He asked who could foretell the ex-
tent OF monopoly and wrongful re-
strictions which wquld arise. AS con-
strued by the majority of the court the
chief Justice declared the patent law
could reach out to include within a
patent every conceivable thing used IN
every American household.
The chief justice declared that con-
gress should act to head off untold
evils" which would follow the courts
construction Of the law. He arraigned
the majority as having broken all
precedents. The court in its history, he
said, has never before failed to do its
duty to the whole people and to stand
as the protector of every household.
Justice Lurton, who delivered the
majority opinion. wss Joined by JUS
tices McKenna, Holmes and Van De-
vanter.
OFFICIALS of the department Of justice
were not inclined to. discuss the courts
decision or it's application to anti
trust suits. Attorney General Wick
ersham and Solicitor General Leh-
mann heard the decision and regarded
IL ~ orepoch-making. Mr.. Lehman de-
clined to make a statement and At
tsrney General Wickersham was un-
willing.
During the last two years the de-
partment Of justice in its prosecutions
under the Sherman law, has encoun-
tered more and more the question of
the rights Of patentees. Some Of
ficlals Of tlle department have predict
edStfat the antitrust suits Of the fu-
ture would be fought along those
lines That question was involved IN
the case against the electrical trust,
now settled in favor of the govern
ment, and some officials think the
same question might be introduced in
any anti-trust suit against any IN
dustriai combination.
Nay Ask Rehsarins.
Because of the sweeping importance
OF the decision to the enforcement OF
the sherman law, it Is not improbable
that q rehearipg may be asked for to
bring the question before full bench
of Justices. Justice Day did not par
.ticipate. and the vacancy caused by
the death Of Justice Harlan has not
been filled, tho Chancellor Pitney of
