PEDDLERS' LICENSES
Supreme Court Decides
on the Power of
Cities.

st. Paul, July 22.-A peddler' q
license fee of $125 ia not unreasonable,
says the supreme court in an opinion
fled today.
It further says that the right of
cities to license peddlers, whether
they sell their own products or those
of another, is unquestioued.
Tho case comes from Minneapolis
and was appealed by Peter Jensen,
who was fined for peddling without a
license. His attorneys held that not
only was the amount excessive. but
that any farmer could sell the products
of his own farm from house to house
without interference.
Chief Justice Start, who writes the
opinion, says in the syllabus:
''First-The amount of the license
fee is not so manifest]y unreasonable
as to render the ordinance void.
'Second-The ordinance applies to
all persons who exercise the vocatie n
of peddlers within the city whether
they peodle the product of their own
farm or garden or buy their stock
from Others
Minneapolis journal: Since the
Supreme court has handed down its
decision holding the license ordinances
of Minneapolis valid, the law will be
enforced inpartially against all
peddlers who do not take out their
licenses promptly.
The Peter Jensen test case has been
in the hands CT the supreme court for
several months, and during that time
the city officials have been rather
lenient with the peddlers. Jensen is a
farmer ard is arrested for selling
melons grown on his own land. he
held that he had right to sell his
own produce without license. The
supreme court held that he had not.
The court also decided that the $50
was not more than the necessary
amount to regulate the business, to
prevent its becoming a nuisance.
Now that the city is backed by the
law few days will be given the de-
linquent peddlers to take out licenses,
and after that the police will begin
to make arrests. There are several
peddlers now doing business under
special permits issued BY the mayor,
but 1t is probable that there will be
revoked. If they are not, the state
grocers' association will swear out
warrants and the permits will be of
no value.

WHAT A TINE NEsTER's FOLKS
HAD


Mrs. Mcdonald Of Minneapolis, Miss
Annie Nester and Miss Irene Ustick
of Cincinnati, Ohio, arrived here on
the afternoon train Wednesday for a
days outing on the lake and were the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. o. NJ Cor
nell. On the way to the lake the two
young ladies were panic stricken at the
sight Of green COW but Mr.. Nester
succeeded in quieting their fears and
assure them that there was no danger
Arriving at the lake the party
boarded the launch and were taken to
Lawrence point where they began to
try for bass and pike with good sue.
cess except on the part of the two
young ladies. fresh from "Cincin-
nati," who not having entirely re-
covered their fright at the innocent
Jersey nervously threshed the water
with their rods and lines in every
direction without getting q nibble.
Other members Of the party out of
. pure sympathy for the poor girls,
tried to hook good sized perch on
each of their lines while their atten.
;fion was directed to something else,
but the attempt failed. The moral of
this story is that inexperienced fish

the city. should not boast Of the
number of fish they are going to
catch.

Formally Notifies the Country
That Agitation for a COnSti
tuition is Useless.
EXTREMISTS HOPES DASHED
From the Beginning the Emperor Had
Resolved Not to Yield the Principle
OF AuIocracy

ST. Petersburg, Dec, 22.-Emperor
Nicholas formally notified the country
today that agitation for constltu-
ton and the conyocation Of a national
assembly Is useless. Such is the con-
structlon placed upon the endorsement
written In his own hand on the resolu-
tons telegraphed by the Chernigov
2emstyo Dec. 90 begging him in the
most loyal manner TO conyocate legal
ly elected members Of the zemsivos to
present a program Of reforms for his
consideration. The emperor wrote on
the dispatch.
II consider the action Of the presl-
dent to be presumptuous and tactless.
Questions OF state administration are
Of no concern to the 2emstyos whose
functions and rights are clearly de-
fined by the law"
The endorsement is printed In the Of
fetal Messenger this morning dashIng
the hopes Of the Extremists. IL dogs not
come as a great surprise. The emperor
from the beginning, although he has
shown himself fayOraby disposed to-
wards more liberal regime. and In
entire sympathy with some Of the
zemstyo demands, had resolved not to
Yield the principle of autocracy Upon
this point II Is understood all his adj
ylsers, including Interior Minister Syi-
atopolk- Mirsky agreed but the char
acter OF the agitation which followed
the meeting Of the presidents OF the
zemstvos and the action OF various pro-
vlncial zemstvos and municipal cOun-
ellis, coupled with the recent demonstra-
lions at 81. Petersburg, Moscow and
elsewhere, probably served to strength
en- the hands Of the Reactlonares and
convinced the emperor OF the lmpera-
tive necessity for a plain spoken an
nouncement Of the sOyereign's position
upon the main point The Reaction
aries undoubtedly regard the empfror's
action as a distinct victory for them.
Nevertheless the conferences over the
reform measures which win be taken
are still In progress at the Tsarskoe-
Selo palace, and will shortly be pub
lished. What the immediate effect Of
the imperial rebuke administered To
the Chernlgov zemstyo viii be Is prob
lematical II may only serve 10 fan
the flames and be used by the revolu-
tionary organizations TO increase the
agitation and in turn compel It's repres-
sion.
