Makes an Appeal For the Protection
or the Street PeddJer.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
A street peddler dealing in fruits and
vegetables has at all times a strenuous
life to make ends meet; the nature of
his wares necessitates quick disposal
and in order to encompass that end he
often has to cut prices and must get
the attention of possible purchasers by
the only method available, namely, by
calling out the articles for sale and
prices in a loud voice.
To a majority of housekeepers he is
more a necessity than ever at this
time; he brings his goods to the door
and his prices are always more reason
ablo than the combine of retail gro
GERS" and are just as good and fresh.
He pays license to the city for con-
ducting his business, and, in view Of
that fact he should be allowed to go his
way in peace.
1t appears, however, he is a thorn in
the side of some greedy interests
through whose influence he is mens ced
by arrest for advertising his wares in
He does not interfere with the house
Keepers comfort by calling out his
stock nearly so much as when he knocks
at her door and brings her down two
or three flights of stairs unnecessarily: :
IL she hears him calling and desires to
make purchase she opens her door
voluntarily. but II she requires nothing
from him, II Is exasperating to her to
have TO travel up and down flights OF
stairs to tell him so-therefore, to show
her disgust she slams the door in his
face. for which insult he has no re-
dress.
Should he shout his wares loud enough
for her to hear him from behind closed
doors and windows, up walks the ever
alert student Of criminology, the police
man, who hates TO do such dirty work,
but, acting under orders, arrests him
for being a nuisance" a full day s
| time is lost to him in attending to the
| requirements of the police and court,
| and he Is fined-for what? For trying to
| do legitimate business with the public
| In the only way possible for him in his
| calling.
According to District officialdom this
may be a sample of American justice
but no greater travesty on justice could
be enacted by the most despotic gov.
| ernment on earth.
| 1t would be interesting to know from
the District officials, from the Commits
| sioners down. what rights, IL any, an
| American peddler has, and the same in
formation is solicited from the alleged
| grocery combine"
| cries are nuisance, why not the ash
| man, garbage man. organ grinder
| itinerant street corner preacher, tn,
mock auction house with Its bell ringer
and sundry others. The answer is easy
| the former encroaches on the grocer
trade, while the latter do not the lit
tie man is a nuisance" to the big in
II the words Outrage" and rascal
ity" are applicable in this case, I leav
II to the general public to apply them.

BRAKEMAN MAKES
HIS CONTRIBUTION

Chicago, oct. 29.-J. f. Mills, Of
Shreveport La. who Is a brakeman
IN the Kansas City Southern Rail
road, has made contribution 10
Governor Wilson's popular campaign
fund that has placed him ahead Of
all others who so far have given fl
nanC:al assistance in behalf OF the
democratic ticket this year.
Mr.. Mills turned over to the nation
AL committee his entire months pay
check ac a brakeman, amounting to
1861.
Colonel Robert Ewing. chairman
of the press contributions bureau. at
democratic headquarters in the Kdr-
pen building, declared today that for
pure un2dulterated devotion to de-
mccracy the act OF Mr.. Mills sur
passes anything that has come under
his notice during the entire campaign
1t is doubtful If there is another in
dividual in the United States who
has contributed as much to any cam
paign fund, proportionate to his in
come.
Mr.. Mills offered his contribution
in person to the editor of the ShreVe'
port Times. 1t was suggested to n n
that he was giving more than hi'
share.

agement of the hall has found its
crockery bill increases the the number
of visitors grows.
The students are annoyed whenever
visitors appear in the gallery of the
hall They object to being scrutiniz-
ed while they eat.
In the the past the students have
greeted visitors with a rackety noise
made by pounding plates, cups and
saucers with their knives and forks.
If the din was not enough to frighten
away the onlookers the men resorted
to throwing French bread at them.

VALUABLE CUP IS
OFFERED FOR PRIZE

President Elliott of the Northern
Pacific Railway has provided a valu-
able trophy cup as a prize for the best
bushel of Dent corn exhibited at the
Northwest Land Products show to be
held at Portland, November IS to 20,
1912. This prize Is open to competi-
tors living not only on the Northern
Pacific Railway, but also to those on
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, the
Oregon Trunk, and the oregon Elec-
trio lines The corn winning the cup
is to become the property of the
Northern Pacific Railway to be used
for exhibition purposes.
Mr. Elliott feels the the possibilities
of corn raising in the Northwest have
not as yet been touched by the farm
.ers. Great triumphs are in store for
those who will persist and scientifi-
cally engage in this work and assist in
extending the corn belt in the north
west, and it is to encourage proper
efforts in this line that Mr.. Elliott
has offered this trophy for the prize
winning exhibit at the Portland North
west Land Products show.
Here is an opportunity that ought
not he neglected to show that the
Northwest is right in it when corn Is
under discussion
The world does not yet appreciate
the fact that corn. as well as wheat
and oats and potatoes, is staple and
dependable crop in the extreme
northwest when properly cultivated
and handled. Let us open their eyes
to this fact.

GERMAN SPEAKING WATCH.
Announces Hour and Quarter Hours
by Human" Voice.


Berlin.-Stock has just been issued
by a German company which hopes
to place on the market a speaking
watch, which, instead of sounding the
hour by a bell, will shout out the
hour like a human voice.
It's mechanism is very complicated
but it is said the watch Will be able
to say 1T is Z O'clock" or, Is min
utes later, "It is 1915 o'clock"
OF course it would be rather dis
turbing to be awakened in the mid
die of the night by a mysterious some
thing that shouted at YOU TT is
O'Clock" and the inventors have ad-
ded an arrangement whereby the
watch can be silenced at night.
The invention is not exactly new
as the artist, George Christopher
Lichtenberg (1742-99) had a watcf
which spoke the words. "Thou are D.;
man." At fifteen minutes past the
hour it said, Thou" and at half pas
Thou are" and so on, achieving the
full sentence on the hour.
But the invention just announced is
a step further in advance.

az another "Ty" Cobb when he OBJ
tained him from Boston, stood ad-
miringly beside his bride and nodded
his head in approval at his brides
version of the romance.
The marriage caps the climax to a
remarkable court fight in which the
girl was the central figure.
Major and Wife Part.
Major Lott. her father, was an Of
flcer of the First Infantry, l. y. G. In
1907 he and his wife had marital diff
ferences and they separated. She
filed suit for divorce and after a bit
