stion between patentee and

| question between patentee and re-
taller:
The real question is whether in the
exclusive, right secured by statute to
"Vend' a patented article there is in
cluded the right by notice to dictate
the price at which subsequent sales of
the article may be made. The paten-
tee relies solely upon the notice quoted
to control future prices in the resale
by purchaser of an article said to be
of great utility and highly desirable
for general use. The appellee and the
jObberS from whom he purchased were
neither the agents nor the licensees
of the patentee. They had the title
to, and the right to sell, the article
purchased without accounting for the
proceeds to the patentee and without
making any further payment than had
already been made in the purchase
from the agent of the patentee- Upon
such facts as are now presented we
think the right to vend secured in the
from the right of vending given in the
copyright act. In both instances it
was the intention of congress to secure
an exclusive right to sell, and there is
no grant of a privilege to keep up
prices and prevent competition by no
tees restricting the price at which the
article may be resold. The right to
been exercised, and the added restric-
ton is beyond the protection and pur-
pose of the act. This being so, the
case is brought within that line of
cases in which this court from the be-
ginning has held that a patentee who
has parted with patented machine
by passing title to a purchaser has
the monopoly secured by the patent
act.

cording to DR.. M. J. Mayor of Chicago,

the old problem of the spiritual val

tnese days, to generalize in this man

rich men make unfortunate and reck-

offense and disgust of observers. This
Is in line with the general custom in
many quarters of persistently looking
at the unpleasant things and so fail
ing to see the other side. For there
are rich men, anyone can name a dozen
or two off-hand-whose revenues far
exceed $1,000 a day, who are devoted
to religion and benevolence. So that
it is not matter of money but of
personal inclination or character

who are religious. There are other

KANSAS COAGl1ENT
DEMANDs OF WOMEN


The suffrage amendment in Kansas
increased the number of enfranchised
citizens considerably. and added diff
hculties to the labors of the tired
politician on a campaign tour. Now
something is being said of the de-
mand of these new citizens and
what they hope to stand for. For one
thing, they insist upon more liberal
appropriations for university extern
sion work and for the travelling IL
Drary maintained by the state. They
also demand laws to promote the well
rare of mothers and widows and chill
oren who are without sufficient
tory law.
TO all of which people generally
raise no objection: indeed, they stand
ready to second the motion, and call
for a rising vote. But it does make
them weary to hear these measures
urged as a plea from the mass of wom-
en- voters in Kansas. Odds of three
to one are hereby offered that not one
woman in ten is familiar with the
work OF university extension, or
