THOSE SACRED PATENT RIGHTS

The proposal to commander the German patent on
salvarsan caused Representative Metz and Dr. George
Walker Of John Hopkins University to come to blows at
the national capital Monday Salvarsan, more commonly
known as $685. is supposed to be specific for syphilis,
and is doubt the most nearly of any known remedy
Owing the war; this much needed medicine is longer
available in this country and while it be made here
easily enough it cannot be manufactured without in
frngng on the German patent With the example set by
Germany the stand taken that whatever is necessary for
her safety for her in the is ustiabe it
looks as though stretching veneration for
the patent laws unduy to hagge small an affair
Germany says is necessary for her to attack and sink
vessels Of any and every country trading with England mi
order to make it possible for her to win the war I'M
pursuance Of this policy she has sent ship after ship to
the bottom without warming eopardizng the lives OF all
on board il she did not in addition sacrifice them and
vet we hesitate about breaking international law as toll
patent rights
This country must have this especial medicine and as
cannot get it unless it makes it, then it must necessarily
make it. When the war is over if feelings for the
sacreness of patent rights still tender we can pay
the paentee what damages is right and let 1t go at
that 1t is estimated that six million Americans are al
icted with the disease for which this is the best known
remedy and we hagge between the rights OF these and
the sacredness of the patent laws Ii we indulge IN no
worse "ruthessness' than breaking few patent right
laws before the war ends will have but little to con-
demn ourselves for Mr. Metz, who is druggist and
German would have respect the rights OF the German
citizen to patent while the kaiser pays no attention to
the rights of an American to live if he ventures upon the
ocean.

The vote shows so far as the road bonding measure
was concerned that it was a square fight between the
cities and the country Practically every city and town
showed majority for the bonds while the country dis
tricts were almost unanimously against it. Qunaby this
county, for instance went IL for and 44 against
Macleays vote was for and 129 against; while Sidney
made the record with for and 54 against The coun
try made gallant fight, but not strong enough to
overcome the big vote for cast in Portland and by the

for it, which was quite natural.
