Prizes on Patents and Prohibition Echoes Across Nations
An editorial piece extols the value of simple, practical inventions and promotes the Twenty-Five Hundred Dollar Prize in the Patents Claims Company contest. It argues that modest ideas yield wealth, recounts figures on patent costs, and notes public skepticism about inventors. The piece shifts to temperance reports from Canterbury parishes, Vineland New Jersey, and Millville, highlighting absence of pubs, lower crime, and economic benefits attributed to prohibition.
