No mother ever loved her baby lxy

deep into the" itjsI I'u-sliou for It is
the quintessence of the monopoly ques
tion.
The people upon whom these Be-

get some comfort in tbe fact that th
chief Justice and two of bis colleagues
spoke a word in behalf of the saddle
public. They, said that such an un
restrained decision would breed evil
This Is like serving notice -on a galled
backed horse that the saddle is goin
to cause him pain, but that nevertb

notches.
i lie decision was made in the case
of a manufacturer of a rotary duplica
ing machine which copies typewrltte
letters. Users of this particular ma
chine probably well know that If you
buy one of these machines the miinu
facturer Insists that you use his brand
of wax sheet, and all of his supplies
The benefit of the duplicating machln
ery is a sort of bait to cause a de
maud for these, particular supplies
And vice versa if you own another
make of machine, operators know how
hard it is to buy this particular brand
of Ink or the other supplies unless you
have paid tribute on the machine. It
is a double, back-action sort of scheme
The rulings of this manufacturer have
been so arbitrary that the manufac
Hirers rules have been opposed in

I believe I'd rather apologize than
have nnyone apologize to me; an
apology makes me feel meaner than
the man who is offering it.
Does nnyone know how many times
a man can be in love?
There Is a. ways something a little
funny about a man vislfor. Visiting
doesn't seem to be in his line.
It la surprising how strong a man
sometimes is when he thinks he is In
the right; sometimes five men are nec
essary to down him, and take him to
the Insane asylum.
So often a man promises you a good
time, and can't deliver it.
THE PATENTED BELOVED CINICH.
One of the most universal and effec
tive of Iieloved Cinches Is one pro
tected by the United States Patent
Office. This consists of thinking out,
or dreaming, of some method of doing the benefit of mankind are brought up
court and have been carried to the
highest court in the land. The court
has decided in favor of the man who
owns the Beloved Cinch, and has de
elded against the public users The
court tells the manufacturer to go as
far as he likes, not only in dictating
arbitrary uses of his machine, but to
dictate tbe price.
The defenders of the Beloved Cinch
were Justices Lurton, McKenua
Holmes and Vandeventer. Those who
spoke a word for the users of patented
articles wefe Chief Justice White, La
mar and Hughes.
The attorney -general and the solic
itor-general commented that the de
cision is epoch-making.
Tbe decision Is also reactionary. At
the nresent time a new thought Is
growing up In regard to the reuiunera
tion of Inventors. It Is proposed that
the actual inventor or the assignee of
the invention should have a fixed re
muneration for the labor and the good
tick of the inventive Idea, and thnt
aiter a certain reward the use of the
idea should revert to public owner
ship.
It is the history of invention that the
actual inventor rarely profits by nis
talent, his years of study, or his good
luck. In printing machinery, and in
shoe machinery, and watch machinery,
is this conspicuously well known. The
most widely used of all appliances for
something useful to mankind, and then
hovering over the Idea, like a miser
over his gold pieces, and refusing to
let anybody use your idea unless he
comes across with tribute. This pro
cess i, known as encouraging genius
and rewarding talent.
Tills Iieloved Cinch has always work
ed very well, but under a decision just
rendered by a majority of the United
States Supreme Court it will work bet
ter. Several of the justices have come
to the aid of the patent owner, and
have cinched up the patent law several
more, notches.
They have given the patent rights
owner a longer leverage on the users
of useful appliances.
They have decided that the owner
tf a patent has an unrestricted monop
oly upon all articles, used in Its opera
tion, that he can dictate the use of the
and are doled out. for tribute purposes
by big industrial companies. The in
ventor of a particular machine spends
20 years or more perfecting a device
useful to mankind, dies impoverished,
and the ownership of the device is
transferred to a big company, which
proceeds to manufacture the machine
at a cost of $."()() each and sells the ma
chine for $3,,"i00 each, or else leases
it to tbe. user at a similar ratio of
profit.
Human Ingenuity in perfecting ma
chines which lesse ntbe burdens of
life, which manufacture the necessi
ties of life is stupendous. We are not
nearly appreciative enough for the
blessings which the inspirations of in
ventive men provide for us. And one
of tbe reasons we are not appreciative
Is because somebody . buys the idea
for a few hundred dollars, and even
article, and what is more he ran set; after operates this ownership not as a
the price of his tribute levied on users, machine to lessen our burdens, but as

A high tariff wa'i and a rigid, go-as-far-as-you-like
patent law decision by
the supreme court are two of th" main
cinch straps and buckles wherewith to
gird tbe plibllc and ride It.
Certain students of the working of
patent law monopolies have said that
$200,000 for example would be ample
reward to any man for Inventing
machine to make shoes cheaper. They
state that as 6uon as the royalties on
this machine grind out from tbe public
this reward that the tribute-grinding
out to stop, and that the public should
then own the patent, or that there
should be no patent, that the right to
use the Invention should be free to the
public.
Quite reactionary from this idea, the
supreme court takes a step In the op
posite direction. .
At the present time many men are
buying patents, and are dedicating
them to the public, a novel form of
philanthropy quite as far-reaching as
the giving of memorial windows or the
building of churches and public
libraries. Wichita Eagle.

The Northern Pacific exhibit c
will be on tbe Katy tracks near the
depot all day tomorrow. This is said
to be the finest and best equipped
exhibit car" in the world and it will
be worth seeing. A special .invitation
is extended by the company to super
intendents, teachers and pupils of all
the schools. It is educational in the
highest degree as it gives everybody
better conception of the wonderful
resources of the greatest country on
earth. Every business tflan in Vinita
should make it a point to visit this
car and see what the officials of this
great road are doing absolutely free
for the people, at large. The ladies of
Vinita are especially requested to visit
the car and take an interest in what
it has to show.
If the teachers of Craig county are
to say where the county summer nor
mal is to be held this year Vinita is
pretty sure to get it. There Is always
something to see in Vinita and the
hard-working teachers should have
some entertainment along with the
work. Come to Vinita.

very time I come to town,
The boys start kickin' my dawg
aroun'
Makes no difference if he is a houn,
They gotta quit kickin' my dawg
aroun.
So declares Harry Shunk, one of the
principal comedians with the Al. O.
Field Greater Minstrels. Mr. Shunk
sings the much talked of llouu' Dawg
Song in the original tune and it is a
rare treat. Many persons who have
read of thin famous song have never
heard it sung.
While Mr. Shunk declares that he
secured tbe original tune from an un
questionable source, he is not prepared
to settle tbe controversy as to the au
thorship. Whether it was produced in
Missouri, Arftausas Illinois or Okla
homa is not for hi into say. Cerniany
as overshadowed nil other claims by
eciaring that the Houn' Dawg Song
as written in that country in 1490
and was used as a cradle song. In
these ancient times it was known as
"Der Ilund Speil" and is said to have
been written by an inspired Teuton
who took his theme from the fact that
he owned a dachshund that had the
proud distinction of having been kick
ed by one of Dismnrks ancestors at a
spot that now marks the center of the
city of Berlin.
The Houn' Dawg Song is only one
of the many musical hits sung by the
minstrels. The theatregoers of this
section, after hearing the song, may
recognize in it some familiar strains
and their memory may serve them to
the effect that they have known it of
old and that after all the claim that it
was written in one of four disputed
states may be authentic.
