The peddlers license ordinance which
viii be presented to the Council Fri
day night is much more drastic
measure than is now in force in many
of the cities which have attempted to
deal with the problem of regulating
the business of the peddlers within
their limits, but most of the aldermen
appear to favor the measure and it
viii probably go through without any
unnecessary delay. Certainly it will
meet with the complete approval of
all the merchants of the city and of
the large majority of the women with
whom the peddlers deal, for most of
the women regard the visits of the ped
dlers to their homes as an unmitioated
nuisance. The rate for peddlers IL
cense is fixed at three dollars dav
for anything under month with
large discount for longer periods of
time and the peddler is required to
state just what class of goods he pro-
posed to dispose of under his license
and in case he is found selling apv-
thing else his license may be revoked.
The licenses may be obtained from the
city clerk and the penalty for violating
the ordinances is fixed at S25 fine or
Imprisonment. As u matter of fact
the ordinance is practically prohibitory
and that is just what it is intended
to be. The city will get little or no
revenue under it for as soon as it be-
comes known that Ken0sha is enforc-
ing such an ordinance the peddlers will
fight shy of the city for they cannot
transact business at a profit under a
tax of three dollars day on any class
of goods that they can get license
to peddle nd few of them would care to
run the risk of being assessed such a
heavy fine if they are caught without
the license. The demand for a drastic
law against these peddlers has been
growing for a long time and in case
the proposed measure does NOT do the
work of keeping them out something
else will have to be tried.

Sings Praises
OF Montana

"Much as the stranger from the
East may doubt it, the broad state
Montana contains something be-
sides plains and rivers and i-risat-
ed orchards, and sheep herds, blue
sky and sunshine" recently said
MIR. a. NJ. Cleland, general pas
senger agent Of the Northern Pa
cific Railway at st, Paul, ''Mon-
tana has other attributes as we'll.
She is not lacking in point of po-
etic genius. In substantiation Of
this statement [ submit the follow
ing lines, entitled "Nothing Like
Montana" which reach me from
the pen Of A. K. Yerkes, locally
known as the "Baird of Sourdough
Creek Mr.. Yerkes has mes
sage, good one, and has the gift
of putting it in rhyme same as the
apothecary puts the sugar coating
on pill. This pill, however, is
sweet and the message of Montana's
attractions nesds no sugar coating,
for in my humble judgement he
would be an unfeeling editor who
could consign these lines to the
waste basket unpublished. Here
they are:
"Talk not to me Of eastern states,
Their cities large and grand;
With operas, and seaside joys
Way down by Jerseys sand;
Of cafes fine, and swell resorts,
And functions up in G;
Montana perched up near the sky
Is good enough for me.
I've hit the trail to Iowa,
Examined Kansas too:
I've touched the highest spots
They've got in far famed old
Misso',
I've wintered in Los Angeles,
Also in WASH, D. G.
But none Of these can get my game,
They're all too slow for me-"
