TRANSIENT MERCHANTS.

The supreme court has clearly de-
fined the meaning Of the term
transient merchant" in the decision
made public in The Forum Yesterday,
in the case of the state against Jeffe
l.. Fleming. The court is very explicit
the nan who produces and sells his
own produce at retail cannot be term
ed a transient merchant"
The court said Held. that this court
will not, unless the terms of the
statute make any other Interpretation
impossible, hold that 1t was intended
to prevent the producers of this state
from marketing the products of their
farms in villages and cities without
the payment of the license fees i'm
posed"
Therefore under this decision. q
farmer who sells goods at retail about
the streets of the city cannot be
classified as a transient merchant.
1t has long been the contention Of
many officials, whose duties are 60
see that the transient merchant law
is enforced that the North Dakota
transient merchant law barred the
selling of apples from a car at a
stdings no matter whether the man
who sold them produced them or not.
In some cities also it has been held
that this law prevented the sale of
vegetables and other produce about
the city streets. This decision Of the
supreme court upsets this in~terprera-
ton of the law. A farmer or any
other producer has the right to sell
his produce as he pleases.

New York, December 7.-Christy
Mathewson. premier pitcher of the
champion Giants and for years one of
the stars of baseball, heads the list of
National league pitchers in the official
averages for the 1918 season, made pub
lie tonight.
The New York twirler pitched in 40
games, and his record of victories is
25, against II games lost. The league
leaders record is not calculated upon
his percentage of victories, however, the
system adopted being essentially the
same as that used in compiling the
American league averages this year,
based upon the average of runs earned
per game of nine innings. The list
shows that 20 earned runs were scored
off Mathewson, an average of 2.06 the
game.
Babe Adams of Pittsburg made the
nearest approach to this record. He
won 21 and lost 10 games and the rs
runs earned off his delivery averaged
2.15 to the game.
Tesreau and Demaree of New York
are close up, standing third and fourth
with averages OF III ana Z.2l, reSpec-

DOUMERGUE MAY
FORM MINISTRY
Believed He VIII Accept
Task Imposed Upon Him
by President POincare

Paris, December 7.-Although Senator
Cation Doumergue has deferred until to-
morrow notifying President Poincare
that he will take the responsibility of
forming a ministry, it is believed that
he will accept the task imposed upon
HIM
He arranged a provisional cabinet
this afternoon which included for min
lister of foreign affairs either Alexan-
Dire Felix, Ribot, Jean Dupuy or The
ophile Delcasse. This proved a STUN
bling block, as neither NJ. Ribot nor M.
Dupuy would accept and it is generally
thought that M. Delcasse, who is now
in st. Petersburg as ambassador to
Russia also will refuse, in view of the
effect his nomination likely would have
abroad, notably in Germany, it is there
fore considered probable that NJ. Dou-
mergue eventually will take the foreign
office himself following the example of
NJ. Poincare when he was premier.
Other members of NJ Doumergue's
provisional cabinet include General Du-
bail as minister of var, with General
Serial as chief of staff; navy, M. Nou-
lens, now under secretary of war; in
struction, M. ,Viviani; finance, Joseph
Caillaux; commerce, Fernand David;
agriculture, Louis Navy or Maurice
Raymond; colonies, M. Lebrun, public
works, M. LHopiteau labor, Rene
Renault.
Moderate opinion, while 1t would have
preferred M Ribot, M. Dupuy or some
other statesman less committed to ad-
vanced views, considers M. Doumergue
reasonably safe as premier There Is
apprehension among the conservatives
that M. Doumergue, when in doubt, will
accept the consul of Caillaoux, the rad
ical leader, or ex-Premier Clemenceau.
