STREET SALE OF MERCHANDISE
 BY TAKERS IS UNFAIR PRACTICE
 OF FCOMPETITION TO MERCHANTS
Buyers of Questionable Merchandise Pay Dearly For Inferior Quality-Local Business Men Face Hardships of Dull Season And
 Merit Protection in Busy Times.

blocks of Pruet street It is ab- solutely unfair to give to that faker individual a popular business location he has had nothing to do with popularizing. He is not en- titled to it. The Board of Alder men has no moral right to sell him l the privilege to invade the business location of those who have spent their money to build it I'D, and pull trade from their very doors.
 We would suggest that the Board of Alderman, at it's next session, establish a zone of protection for the business men-those who are supporting the community, those who have built the community, those who are expected to continue to support Paragould. If a faker is to be permitted to sell his wares, to dispense his nostrums in Para gould, at stipulated license, make it an order of that permit that he shall not operate within a certain zonc-say, within two blocks of the main street of the city--not less in the business section of the city. That would be nothing but fair. No one has a right to sell anyone a permit to take trade from the doors cerns of the community when sea son of good business arrives. We should remember that the business institutions of the city are required to undergo the dull seasons and are entitled to some measure of prOtec- tion, so far as foreign competition is concerned, during the period when money is easy and trading is good l
 The suggestion for the establish ment of zone traffic ordinance" for the purpose of achieving this degree of protection is undoubtedly a reasonable one. We are confi- 1 dent the officials of the city, after giving the subject mature thought, | will agree with us in that sugges tion. We believe every business
 
 man, without exception, would glad | lv sign a petition asking that the Board of Aldermen extend to them the trade protection that an ordi- nance of that sort would guarantee.
 It is not the des;re or The Daily Press to suggest an imposition of hardship upon anyone, foreign or otherwise. But we do sincerely be- lieve that the local business con cerns of the city are not being given the protection they merit in this respect. A street faker has no moral right to occupy a prominent position upon business street that has been popularized by local mer- chants who have spent their lives and. their money ill building up, and conduct an enterprise that is admittedly of most costly nature to those business establishments. The streets of the city are for traf fife and not for business locations.

From Tuesdays Daily)

The practice of permitting the operation of street fakers or vendors of nostrums and merchandise upon the principal tforougnfares of the city, almost at the very doors ol local business men, selling their wares and connections during a sea son when business is good and money is easy, is an idea that, very natural ly, is unpopular Wtlr local business men who feel that they should not be forced to compete with such ques- tionablc competition. Viewed from q standpoint Of fairness to the busi- ness people, and to the public gem orally for that matter, it does ap- pear unreasonable that a communit v should tolerate sucn practices.
 Everyone knows that the average if not all-street selling proposi- tions are born of the fake idea, and purchasers of such articles of mcr- chandse invariably pay exhorbitant profits or procure items that are inferior or totally worthless. The magnetic manner in which the pro posals are presented the crowds that usually congregate around such places to listen to a lot of hurrah and slap-stick comedy, causes many people 10 impusively respond to the apparently attractive offerings and thus the fakers rake in the cash by the hundreds of dollars The buyers then find they have been duped and the local merchants who support the community in both good and dull seasons have lost the sale of legitimate merchandise Both the buyer of the street stuff and the local merchants are the losers while the faker goes his way only to apply his methods in another community. Later. another outfit comes along and the same process of unfairness to the local dealers, and to the buyers as well, is applied.
 It does seem reasonable that the local business concerns should be protected against such unfair com petitive methods. The leading busi- ness streets have become leading business thoroughfares by reason of the fact the business concerns along those thoroughfares nave popularized their places by reason of having spent years in establishing those To- cations, all the time paying taxes and such other expenses that revert to the channels of trade for other local persons to enjoy. The street faker has no moral right to invade those business sections, to stand upon the corner with slap-stick com cdy and pull trade from the very doors of the business men who sup port the town. Let the faker es- tablish his own business location. If he is to be privileged to come into the community bY the payment of license tax, see to it that he is not allowed to operate within two

PRESIDENT HARDING HOSTILE IN HIS REFERENCES TO THOSE
 OPPOSING SHIP SUBSIDY ACT
Chief Executive Appears Before National Legis- lative Body in Person-Issues Direct Chal- cnge to Opposition Almost
 Solely With Subsidy Measure.

December 1.
 Referring to the ship subsidy measure the President became emphatic: This problem can no longer be ignored. It's attempt ed solution cannot longer be postponed. The failure of Con- gress to act decisively will be no less disastrous than adverse action.p
 Throughout the speech, the President argued that the en- actment of the ship subsidy would save money to the treas ury because larger losses are being piled up by the Shipping Board. Those losses, the Presi- dent estimated, amounts to around fifty million dollars yearly. The President said the cost of the ship subsidy would cost half that amount. He stressed that the cost through the Shipping Board was extra heavy.
 In conclusion, the Chief Ex- ecutive made a fervent plea that American shipping inter- ests be again raised to a posi- tlon of emiience among the maritime nations of tho world.

the previous amounts and trusted to the
generosity Of the public to make up the
difference Unless the roundup is suc-
cessful the institutions, 1t was said, would
be forced to operate on borrowed money.
A feature of the campaign will be an
exhibition beginning tomorrow at the
Hotel Pennsylvania showing the work Of
the ninety-one institutions of the feder-

She was Anna Dunphy of Cincinnati, an

Count de Fremont Frenchman who,
while a practicing physician in New
York, did not use the title.
Her husband died in 1882 and she
came to London, where she began her
literary career. She wrote "The Gentle

Africa In 1894 she attempted an inter-
view with William S. Gilbert, who an
swered that his terms We're twenty

airy for nothing. Gilbert Immediately
sent letter to the Telegraph saying
that he thought he was justified in re-
fusing an interview with what he called
a self-styled Countess, and thereupon
she sued him for libel.
In the trial she was attacked by the
learned counsel Sir Edward Clarke for
having written Poems of Passion,
but she neatly retorfed: Read the
dedication" which he did. It was thus:
