PATENT SYSTEM BLAMED.

Boston Transcript.
Should the war continue for u year
or two longer u manufacturers
would be hard put to it to continue
the production OF goods which the
market demands and find themselves
confronted by an embarrassment not
easy to overcome.
All this is due to the stupidity Of
our laws governing the granting OF
patents to foreigners. We have
granted them a free field Witout taking
any steps for u own protection. We
have permitted them to come in here
and exploit the finest field for their
operations in the world, without any
redress when a situation like the pres
ent arises. For a long time England
did the same thing, but she became
wise to h possible dangers Of the
case and q few years g so changed
her patent laws As to deny the pro-
lection Of patents to any foreign pro-
duct which was not carried on ito a
practicable extent within her own
territory. Her action should have
been a Warning to us, but We have
| paid no attention to it, pursuing our
laissezfaire policy until it has landed
us where we now find ourselves. The
prayer Of the dyestuff dealers, who
are likely to find their occupation seri-
| ously impaired if not practically gone.
for the time being is hat such very
obviously needed action be taken by
Congress as shall make the granting
OF foreign patents conditional upon
manufacture IN our own country, eth
er by those directly receiving the BEN
eft Of the patent or by our own peo-
pie. With the privilege Of manufac-
turing in their own factories, they as
sert, thee question Of a reduced tariff
or no tariff at all would give them
very little concern.
1t is not a question Of raw material.
because we send to Germany more
than half Of what she uses in keeping
us Of her mercy. Her dyestuf indus
try has fattened upon our own peo-
pie. Even if the present eXtraordi-
nary conditions had not arisen. we
should have shown more regard Tor
our own industrial opportunities and
granted privileges only upon the as
surance of getting some return from
them 1t seems to US that this is one
of the urgent questions to be taken up
by Congress even during the short SEES
sion. It may be locking the door aft
er the horse is stolen, but it would
certainly protect US for thee futue and
establish q policy that would help the
industrial enterprises Of the countr
hereafter. It is to SO large an eX-
tent an emergenc question that Con
gress should be able to favOrably dis
pose Of it with very little debate, i
any,

SAY GOLDFISH BOWLS MUST GO.
American Federation of Fanciers
Would Prohibit ParlOr Exhibitions.


New York Herald.
The parrot, the mary h wooden
duck, the conch shell and the pink
eyed rabbit nay remain to keep UP
the traditions of the old-fashioned
American home, but the little globe in
the window Of the parlOr with the
cute, flirting goldfish must go to join
the red plush album.
Why? Because the American Fed
Grafton of Goldfish Fanciers has SO
decreed. The album was lost to sight
but to memory dear-because-oh,
lust because. The tenanted goldfish
globe is condemned because it means
cruelty and inhumanity to fish, say the
fanciers. AS many as 5000 persons
have signed a Notwithstanding pa
per demanding that a fine or impris-
| onment, or both, be imposed on those
| heartless men and housewives who
shall henceforth confne goldfish in a
little round glass house.

NASH LEADS IN
VACCINATIONS
Ninety eight Per Cent. Of Chill
dfen in Schools Of That Coun-
ty Are ImmuniZed

Ninety-eight per cent Of all the
school children Of Nash county have
vaccinated against smallpox.
This places Nash high UP in the list
OF counties in the United States and
undoubtedly q leader in this STATE for
thoroughness IN vaccination.
This fact vas given out yesterday
IN a special press bulletin Of the
State Board OF Health. which saws.
"Ihere's TO be no more smallpox in
Nash county schools. That matter Is
settled. According to q high author.
lty about 5000 school children or
from 80 per cent To IS per cent OF all
the school children in the county have
been yac1nated against SMALLPOX since
the beginning of school this year.
This Wholesale vaccination was the
result of an order of the progressive
county board Of health passed last
August.
The county health officers vacci
mated all applicants free Of charge.
AS a result of this action the present
generation of school children of Nash
county Will be protected from small
pox absolutely for five years or more
and practically all of them for ten
years and many for life.
Next year only the new pupils will
need to be V~accinated. N~accinating
5000 children out Of a population Of
40, 900 will in all probability educe
the number of smallpox cases and
deaths in the county a fourth Oh a
third. There Will be no occasion for
closing down the schools even though
an epidemic Of smallpox should result
among the adult un~vaccinated. Here
after the task of v~accinating the new
school children each year will be com
paratively easy and each year we may
confidently expect a reduction in the
number Of smallpox cases throughout
the general population of the county
as the result Of this policy"

FOURTEEN PALBEARERs
FOR 500 POUND BODY

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. -Four.
teen men staggered under the largest
and heaviest funeral casket ever con-
structed in this city when they bore
the 500 pound body of Frank Griess
up the steps of St. Stephens Catho-
lie church, where mass was said by
Rev. Father Hannigan.
Owing to the tremendous proper
tons of the dead man it was found
necessary to have a special casket
constructed for the body. The cot,
fin was of solid mahogany and the
inside measurements were 80 inches
wide, 35 inches high and feet m
ches long, while the weight was 800
pounds.
No clothing suitable for burial
purposes and of sufficient size for
the dead man could be found, so the
body was wrapped in a shroud.
Greiss' waist measure was "a inches.
Greiss succumbed to heart dis
ease. He was 81.
