Concerning Paeents

The term "basic patent" is used or
dinarily with much the same signif-
canoe as pioneer patent-that is to
say, as having reference to patent
covering an invention which repre-
sents marked advance In some art.
as when an inventor for the first time
accomplishes certain result. There
have been good many basic patents
granted. from first TO last, but no pre-
else enumeration Is possible. mas
much as opinions vary. more or less
as to which patents are entitled to be
so classed. We note Bells patent on
the telephone and Howe's patent for
the sewing machine employing an eye
pointed needle There are basic pat
ents now In force for inventions re-
lating to wireless. radio, etc.. and 9TH

Greet Soldiers Bed
Speeding Motor Car

One black day In April, 1918, when
the British army was fighting for Its
life, l came upon a strange spectacle
in the retreating flood of war wreck
age that filed the roads leading west
ward from our crumbling front.
1t was a shining limousine, all plate
glass and upholstery, with solitary
occupant behind the smart soldier
driver, a general officer of the type
commonly known as Brass Hat"
He was muffled in an overcoat, and he
half sat, half reclined on the cushions,
his head tilted against the padded
back, altogether an fncongruous pic
ture of ease and contentment. The
tired and hungry soldiers on the road
looked at him with amazement, for he
was asleep.
Few of them noticed the union jack
the only man who slept in all that
tragic multitude was the &c. In c.
Sir Douglas Haig as he was then, or
that he slept from sheer exhaustion
because he had not slept since the
German advance began. AS he drove
constantly from one headquarters to
another behind the stricken line, he
would snatch few uneasy moments
of slumber. 1t was his only chance.
This is my most vivid recollection Of
Lord Haig During those critical days
when, as he himself said, our men
were fighting with their backs to the
wall, he was constantly among them,
and In places where no commander
in-chief need have been. He was q
silent man, and shy, and by no means
given to spectacular gestures Of ap-
proval.-Slr Percival Phillips in the

PARTIES HAVE THEIR SAY
Continued from Page A.


prices of agricultural products" Mr..
Hirth also asserts that a special
session of Congress under Hoover
called to consider farm relief legis-
lation, would be waste of money.
In a statement Mr.. Hirth said:
when in his recent New York ad-
dress Mr.. Hoover declared that Gov
ernor Smiths position on farm relief
would mean state socialism,, for the
Agricultural class of the nation, he
made a direct bid of the support of
Wall Street, and the thinking farm
ers of the Corn Belt will so interpret
it. In the meantime, considering that
the farm debt of the Nation has in
creased from little over four billion
dollars to nearly fourteen billion dol
lars since the World War, and that
during this period farm property has
deprecated more than twenty billion
dollars, as one looks upon this great
economic tragedy the wonder is that
farmers have stopped at socialism
not become anarchists, as they have
watched the Harding and Coolidge
administrations grant special privi-
lege legislation galore to certain
favored interests, while their own dis
tress which has cried to high Heaven
is as unsolved today as it was the
day the first farm relief bill was in
troduced now nearly seven years ago.
I'm his speech of acceptance Mr.
Hoover said that the Agricultural
question is the most urgent econ
omic problem before the Nation, and
if this is so, and farmers are menaced
by "state socialism," then why didn't
he say so at that time? Again, when
in his New York address he said that
the farm relief demanded by organ
lied Agriculture and by the Demo-
cratic platform means that the gov
eminent shall directly or indirectly
buy and sell and fix prices of Agri-
cultural products" he knew that his
statement was not true. All the Nc
IN Dill oCChS " IL W
make the Protective tariff effective
on surplus farm commodities and
therefore this measure could not fix
farm prices higher than the sched-
ules agreed upon by Congress. The
simple truth is that by adding the
shout of Socialism" to the shout of
prosperity" Mr.. Hoover hopes to
brighten lot of timid souls into yot-
ing for him, and out here in the Corn
Belt his action will do two things
first, it will convince thinking farm
ers that he is willing to capitalize
the great Agricultural tragedy into
political advantage, and secondly,
that he fears the ides of November.
If in truth we are really menaced by
socialism" then the election of Mr..
Hoover will drive us farther toward
that goal than anything else that
could possibly happen, for never in
the history of the Country has any
nominee for President been more
wholly the spokesman of special
privilege. And special privilege is
more surely crushing the heart out of
individualism today than are any
half dozen other forces in the Nation.
