Street Eakirs.

We desire to approve the article
published in the Item recently, con
corning street fakirs. The license on
these critters should be shot up a
notch or two. The man who lives
here, pays rent, taxes, donates to
charity's call, and spends his money
among US, is entitled to all the trade
of the community and at reasonable
profit. We are told the travellers sell
so much cheaper. That is partly
true, but the goods they sell are more
so than their prices. Give your
change to the home merchant, be-
cause you need him all the time.
