can't you draw us law that you
can't beat?'
Il told them l could,' said Judge
Forney, land so l drew the law as it
now stands on the Idaho statutes, and
| they haven't been able to beat that
yet"
G. L. Butterfield, yesterday after
hearing the news of the decision, gave
another interesting view of the For
ney law.
I'VE had such good success in this
state with Judge Forneys law" said
Mr.. Butterfeld, that Washington de-
cided to pass such law. They took
the Idaho law drawn by Judge Forney,
and changed one line in it. Thea the
legislature passed it, and the supreme
court of that state knocked it ~.
"A second time they. tried. They
changed five words in Judge Fornev's
bill, made a law of it that way and
the supreme court of the state knocked
it out.
Finally l said to some of the men
VINO supported the law: You'd better
take that bill just as Judge TO ney
wrote it, and they did The supreme
court of Washington upheld it, and the
supreme court of the United States las
now done the same.
'It is one of the most difficult sub
jects to handle in a law, without in
vading business rights. The bill is
directed against pedlers. particularly
range, and buggy pedlers, who go
through the country buncoing the
farmers wherever they can. The point
in Judge Forney's law was that it
treated every pedler alike. The other
people had tried to take little advan-
tage for home business, bat Judge
Forney did not do that and the law as
he drew it has been upheld in the
highest courts.
ut is a great victory for Legitimate
business

City Solicitor Murphy of Lawrence,

cross examining him. Murphy who
prosecuted the Jailed strikers, said the
police were empowered to arrest the

they would fall under evil influences.
Then Stanley tried to get him TO tell

PEDLERS' LAW RULING

The winning of the pedler's license
case before the United States supreme
court yesterday by Judge ]. H. For

counsel in upholding the law, is not

In one of his interesting reminisc-

Star-Mirror reporter of how, some
years back, he used to have nice lit
tie practice in knocking out" the
pedler's license laws of this state.
Finally" he said, 'the local mer-

by which our town might be made

Although we can glibly talk Of the
ideal conditions of town, we were
rather at loss to know how to pro-
ceed in the practical way in order to
gain the object. For some time, we
ourselves had talked of affiliating with
our Chamber of Commerce and since
your society has already done so we
hoped that you had definite plans by
which you would proceed and would
through kindness, offer us any sug-
gestions by which we could gain tangi-
BILE methods.
We were particularly interested in
the annual flower show you had
planned for back yards.
We also desire a plan for a cam
paign to Improve and beautify our
streets and highways, public build
ings, parks, vacant lots, back yards, |
alleys, etc. If you are able to furnish |
us plans and any suggestions we shall
be more than grateful.
Thanking you in advance for any |
and all trouble and hoping to receive I

of soil moisture. The timely culture
of corn not only helps the corn crop
but also materially aids succeeding
crops. By paying proper attention to
cultivation, corn can be easily made
to average 10 to 10 bushels more per
