Every time man picks up a news
paper these days he finds that things are
going along with no complaint anywhere,
if it is an old enough newspaper.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-08-29
THIS LADD HAS AN IDEA

The work of the inventor is not so easy
as it looks. It has happened again and
again that after years of working and
planning and dreaming the inventor has
found no market for the thing invented.
Sometimes he has found after years of toll
that he has overlooked something in the
mechanical process that while the thing
worked in his mind, when it came to max
ing of wood or steel the thing he had plan
ned, it just wouldn't work.
Then there is the lack of capital neces-
sary to finance the invention. 1t may take
years of waiting before the money can be
found, and in the meantime the poorhouse
may beckon our struggling inventor. This
latter difficulty is obviated to some extent
by the fact that he may sell his patent
today to one of numerous industrial con-
Germs on the lookout for such things. But
in this case he encounters another diff
Guilty which takes from him much Of the
JOY of inventing.
The industrial concern which buys his
patent does not always make use of it.
The thing is shelved; the inventor has his
money, it is true, but he is robbed of that
satisfaction which is the greatest spur to
all inventors, the JOY of having his work
publicly recognized. He thought him
self benefactor of mankind, publicly ac-
claimed, and instead no one hears about
him; he has sold his dream as he might
have sold wheel-barrow.
But more than the inventor does the
public suffer from such buying and shelv-
ing of inventions. There is now no law to
prevent anyone from buying the patent,
and then putting it aside without develop
ing it, without giving the public the benefit
of it.
This situation is not going to last much
longer, however, if the bill proposed by
Senator Laid of North Dakota meets with
favorable consideration. According to this
measure the holder of the patent, instead
of receiving exclusive rights to manufac-
ture a patented product, would have that
right only when he manufactures. If he
doesn't manufacture, the patent is to re-
vert to the government to be turned over
to someone who would manufacture and
deliver to the public.
This seems to be nothing more than
good common sense in patent law. If the
purchaser did not think the invention a
good one, he would not have bought it;
the inventor gets what he wants from the
sale of the patent. After that the public
has right to demand that it shall be put
to use. Senator Ladd's proposal is a sound
one.

PITTMAN AS A FIGHTER

Some bucolic politician writing for the
Carson City Appeal, issue of August 10,
says of the world-saving Democrat Sena-
tor from Nevada: "The Senator is one of
the Democratic leaders fighting the Re-
publican high tariff measure and his pres
ence is necessary at the national capital on
that account"
Without pausing to emphasize the fact
that all Nevada business is earnestly in
favor of the high tariff which the Senator
is alleged to be fighting" it is pertinent
to remark that reference to the Congress
sional Record of the same date august
.19) will instantly show any inqusitive
voter that Senator Pittman was not pres
ent to register his vote for or against
the tariff bill His fighting" is done
through free public printing, irresponsible
job-holders, and gullible newspaper men.
If the intelligent voter desires to post
himself further regarding the United
States Senator who, perchance, he helped
to elect six years ago (by the small ma
jority of 2147 votes-see Official Returns
of the Election of November, 1916, COM
piled by George Brodigan, Secretary of
STATED; if the man or woman wants to
understand the utter falsity of newspaper
propaganda like the statement quoted
above; if the citizen would understand
whether the servant elected is performing
his duty; then four minutes spent in look
ing at the Congressional record for a
month before August 10 will disclose the
indisputable fact that Senator Pittman,
from Nevada, answered roll-call just four
times during that month.
One of these four times was when
he proudly caused to be inserted in the
Record the scurrilous interview given out
by himself at Santa Fe, New Mexico July
IA, published in the Santa Fee New Mexi-
can. The Senator was not in Washington
at that date. He had not been in Wash
ington for some time.
Pittman voted neither on the wool
schedule nor on the tariff bill itself. AS
a Fighter" on paper Pittman may be all
right. When it comes to the punch he is
not there.

AMERICANS, HOME BUILDERS

Home building and construction in gen.
eral for the first six months of 1922 has
eclipsed all previous records. The Key
stone state has 100000 families, accord
ing to the last census, and 100000 are
home owners, outranking all other states,
with Ohio second. This has been brought
about without the semblance of building
boom. No better evidence Of thrift is
needed. The man who builds himself a
home is building for the future, and the
man who owns his home is generally found
in the ranks of good citizens. His thrift
and energy supply others with the things
which make life worth living.
According to the figures of one of the
statistical bureaus, during the last six
months the total amount of work let for
residential construction in this country was
1852, 663, 900 an increase of SO per cent
over last year; $228, 1920 for public
works and utilities, 10 per cent increase !;
$3.50, 1926, 90 for business buildings, 81 per
cent increase; $164,641, 900 for educa-
tional buildings, So per cent increase; and
$123, 181, 900 for Industrial plants, an in
crease of AZ per cent. America is fast
becoming nation of home owners.

THE BLOOM WON'T COME OFF

The bloom of youth on the maiden's
cheek has been in all ages an ever-re-
curing theme for the poet and song writer.
In dancing iambics and flowing quatrains
they have glorifed the rosy glow of health
on the cheeks of the lass. When old Omar
pinned for 'book of verses underneath the
bough," he specified that maiden was to
be there also; and no doubt his mex-
pressed specifications called for damsel
with the peach bloom in her check. -
To what extent this active deIeIl2 on
the part of poets for cheeks that glow las
Influenced the artificial supplying Of This
demand is a matter for speculation. But
certain it is that the supply of pink cheeks
is far from short in our day; they are to
be had for the mere rouging; they are
to be seen wherever we may look. Where
a glow on the cheek of maid once at
tracted the poet and inspired him to fanci-
full flights, this form of adornment has now
become commonplace, if it inspires now,
it is only to remark: Where do they get
that stuff"
But in at least one community in this
land school girls are no longer to get it so

past. School authorities in an Illinois
town have put ban on artificial glowing
of cheeks. If cheeks are to bloom in that
town they will bloom from now on only as
the result of exercise with wands and
dumb-bells and Indian clubs and other
forms of the natural process of conserv-
ing the bloom of youth and health. Arti-
fetal first and last aids to complexion, it
is reported from Mendoza, ILL.,, are hence
forth to be barred from the schools.
This manifesto in restraint of roughing
will have one good effect, however, if the
more constructive suggestion in the mani
festo is adhered to. The bloom Of health
that is developed by vigorous exercise on
the gymnasium floor is fast color; it won't
come off; it will be an indication, too, of
the general toning up of the physical body.
Wherefore it is much more desirable.

LABOR DAY
COMMITTEEMAN
UNDER ARREST

The inquiry of the investigating
committee, elected by the Twin City
Federation of Labor to straighten out
the reported shortage of Labor Day
receipts, has been completed.
Acting upon the theory that an ac-
counting of the shortage is due from
the collector of gate receipts, and he
being unable to make an accounting
to the satisfaction of the committee,
the committee last week caused the
arrest of Frank Moore, Jr.
At preliminary trial held last
Thursday the case was adjourned to
a later date, and Mr.. Moore was re-
leased on bond furnished by friends.
These deplorable circumstances are
regretted by organized labor, which,
with the committee having the matter
in charge, is interested onl in seeing
that justice be done.
