PROTECT THE HOME MERCHANT

The city council should take cog
nizance at an early date of the re-
quest OF the retail merchants of the
city for an ordinance governing the
licensing of transient dealers in mer-
chandise
1t is very UNJUST ito the regular
merchant who does business fer u
months in the year in Ghis city, who
pays taxes and has his home here
and who takes the dull trade taken
from him by transient who remains
only two or three months and then
moves on.
1t is a favorite practice with deal
ers in certain class of goods to go
from one resort to another, hire a
storeroom during the good season,
take the cream of the business and
then move on to another resort.
He is not desirable addition to
the business life of any city. He
has no interest in the community,
lives as cheaply as possible and sim
ply comes during the height of the
season.
What we want in this town is men
who are willing to stand by in Feb
ruary as we'll as in July-men who
cast their lot with the town and be-
come identified with its business
and commercial enterprises as per-
