pcDOLtR LAW DENOUNCED.
Davenport Judge Says II Is Clearly
Unconstitutional.


Davenport, WASH, OCT. 16.-The
law passed by the last legislature re-
quiring peddlers to pay license for
following their vocation has been de-
clared unconstitutional by Judge w.
T. Warren. of the superior court of
this county. The decision was given
in the case Of George j. Dahl, an
agent Of the Singer Sewing Machine
company, who was arrested on a
charge Of selling sewing machines
without a license. In sustaining. a
demurrer based on the ground that the
act Is unconstitutional, the judge. at.
ter quoting several authorities giving
definitions of liberty and the police
power allowed officers of the state,
says:
"How can the act in question be
sustained az a legitimate exercise Of
the police power under the fundament-
al law Of the state? Can it be said
that where person desiring to engage
in the occupation manned in the act IL
compelled to take out q license for each
county, or be punished by fine or i'm
prisonment, or by both such fine and
imprisonment, that such person is not
being restrained and deprived Of bis
liberty to follow his lawful occupation?
"There are 81 counties in the state
of Washington, and a person, firm OF
corporation desiring to peddle or sell
by sample throughout the state would
be compelled under this act to pay
81, 400 for licenses to carry on the &C.
cupation. It seems to us that this of
itself is sucffiient to show that the act
is simply an attempt under the mere
guise of police regulations to arbitrar-
lily invade personal rights and personal
properties.
1.-THE amount at which the license
is fixed ($2OO for each calendar year
or portion thereof in each county in
the state) is an unjust discrimination
az to the sale of commodities none OF
which are harmful or will work an in
jury to tho peoples health, safety.
morals or general welfare. is Cypress.

trade"

Eight Rules for Boys Who Work.
First. Re honest and straightfor-
ward.
Second. Don't get a job through
influence. No true success is built OH
the influence of others. Depend on
yourself.
Third. DO what you are employed
to do better than any one else en-
ployed about you can do 1t. Promo
ton will surely follow.
Fourth. Be interested in what you
are doing. and don't watch the clock
for quitting time. Be too absorbed
in your work to know what time Of
day it Is.
Fifth. Manual education excels for
a life of business and for manufacture
ers.
sixth. Get an early start In life.
Begin work as soon as you can. A
boy who begins at Is or 16 years has
the advantage of boy who has a
college education, unless he Is seek
Ing a professional life.
Seventh. A college education is not
necessary for successful business
career.
Eighth. Work. Work.. Work!M
