PROTECT TIE INVENTOR

Officials Of the patent office who are
thoroughly familiar with the operations
81 their department have begun cam
paiKn for radical reforms. The basis OF
the campaign Is the fact that under pres
emit laws and regulations the inventor
seldom gets enough out Of patent TO
repay him for the time and money he
has spent in giving the world something
valuable. The patent office men want
the office reorganized. 50 that the work
Of examining applications and granting
ratentS may be done more promptly and
they adv ocate legislation establishing
1pecial patent court, to which all paten:
iitieation shall be referred and which
shall have constantly before 1t the prin-
eIple Of the protection OF the inventor.
Assuredly this Is a worthy object and
one that means . great deal to the coun-
try. Il Is . generally known fact that
inventors are, in the majority OF cases,
cheated out Of the fruits OF their ideas
or are forced to settle for pitifully small
sums. The fact that our national gov
eminent permits such a state OF affairs
10 exist constitutes very black mark
ON the record Of our lawmakers. America
"a the greatest inventive nation in tho
world. and even the adverse conditions
under which they have struggled have
not kept our geniuses from bringing
forth many wonderful ideas But who
knows how many others just as wonder
full have been reprcssed by the knowl-
sdxe on the part Of the inventor that no
would not get square deal:
We are in the very midst Of the age
Of invention. The new processes and
princ4ples that have been discovered
win lead to others even moro marvel
oSa. For the sake Of our own nation
xsA Of mankind we cannot AFFORD to stifie
turerftve genius by laws that give no
nrotection and that make it easily pos

What's theMatterWith
independence County?

A news item from Arkadelphia
says:
The road crews engaged in build
ing the four Clark county highways
are making satisfactory progress
with the work A large part cf the
present construction is being done
near Gurdon, Brown Springs and Ok
olona. Several carloads of culverts
have been unloaded from the rail road
cars at Gurdon, to be used at creeks
and small streams along the high
ways. There will be 95 miles of
good roads in Clark county when the
program of road building is finished. i"
The Jouranl is reliably informed
that the law creating the four Clark
county road districts is an Identical
copy of the law creating Road I'm
provement Districts Nos. 3 and 4 of
independence County. 1t seems that
N other counties they pass the laws
and build roads, while in Independent
ce county we pass laws and then go
to knocking, get into rag chewing
contest and do nothing.
1t seems rather peculiar that I'M
der this law, 95 miles of road is being
built in another county, while in this
county, nuder the same law, the only
results obtainable might be compared
to cat-fight.

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT

A most delightful community af-
fair was enjoyed by large number
of Newark people at the Baptist
church, last night when the ladies of
that denomination entertained with q
box supper. In order to secure as
large a sum as possible, and give
everyone an equal show, it was de-
cided to auction off each box to the
highest bidder. Mayor John T.
Tharp was selected as auctioneer,
and his fluent oratory coupled with
the charming graces of Newark's
young women, resulted in much spir-
tied bidding and very successful ven
ture for the church. Boxes sold as high
as $500 and the total receipts
amounted to $40.46, which will be
used to purchase new and adequate
lighting facilities for the Baptist
church.
