Of NO BENEFIT TO ANYONE.


Much complaint is being heard IN
regard to the law which permits war
veterans to peddle without securing
license. This law has been on the
stat,ite books of Minnesota for many
years. The law is amended from time
to time to include the veterans OF the
last war. It was amended in 1919 to
include the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who served in the recent war
with Germany.
Fifteen years ago the residents OF
village the size of Princeton would
have had little occasion to realize that
such law had been enacted, but now
the matter is brought to their atten-
ton most forcibly three or four times
a week. Hardly Saturday afternoon
passes without having the town visited
by at least two of these vendors. They
open their chest, pick up two or three
bolts Of dry goods, toss them out into
the crowd and then commence an ex-
cited harangue.
That manner of doing business IS
not for the best interests of anyone
concerned, the village the buyer or the
seller. These vendors are offering
nothing that cannot be purchased just
as cheaply, if not more cheaply, in the
stores in this village. The merchants
conducting those stores, some OF
whom are also service men, reside
here and as public-spirited citizens and
property owners contribute to the
general welfare of the village and help
support it financially. They are en-,
titled to the patronage of the residents
of this community and vicinity. The
people who buy from these peddlers
on the street corner rarely secure full
value for their money. Buying on the
impulse of the moment with the per
suasive, persistent cries of the sales
man ringing in their ears, they fre
quently fail to exercise good judgment
in making their purchases. The mar
who is selling the goods will be out o1
town within half an hour. He has M
reputation as merchant to sustain
and is not at all concerned whether tn
buyer will later be satisfied with tn
bargain. The seller is interested onl!
in getting the money. Finally ,thi
promiscuous peddling must certainl!
be detrimental to the men who indulg
in it. It does not tend to make goo
citizens of them. They become onl.
drifters, keen for a chance to max
easy money.
The majority Of the legion boy
who reside in the village strongly con
dem the peddling act. They fee
that it belittles the service men an
is of no benefit to any veteran reall
needing help. We do not believe on
of these peddlers who has visited thi
village has been wounded or maine
in any way. If the sentiment of tn
American legion throughout the stat
against the law is as strong IS it
reported to be, it will undoubtedly b
repealed at the next session of tn
legislature.

"Smilin' Through"
There's an extraordinary treat COM
ing for the patrons of the Strand thea

It's Norma Talmadge's "Smilin

The production has long been hailed
as the biggest achievement Of Norma
to date, and lovers of the silent drama
will not be disappointed when it shows
here next week.
You see her in the big dramatic
story of beautiful young girl who
falls in love with the son of the mar
who killed the woman her guardian
was to marry.
The story reaches a powerful de-

A Brave Representative.

Miss Alice Robertson aspires to
another term in the House. Opening
her campaign for denomination, she
told her constituents Tuesday that
"she had never made and never would
make election promise"
Magnificent. But is it politics? Par
ticularly. is it politics at this time?
Promises are sought of candidates
for Congress on many subjects. There
has never been anything like it since
Congresses began.
The senator or representative seek
ing reelection is called upon not so
much to give an. account Of steward
ship as to say what the record will be
il that stewardship Is continued.
Questions to the right. questions to
the left, volley and thunder. The
stump is the most exposed place on
earth.
Miss Robertson Is a brave and hon
est woman. She has shown her
quality in her speeches and votes in
the House, in her addresses here and
there in the country and in news
paper interviews. Nobody giving ear
to her utterances has been left in
doubt as to her convictions or the
courage behind them.
She is showing her quality now. and
the course Of the Oklahomans toward
a candidate so frank and self-respect-
ing, and so deserving of their re-
spect, will be watched with wide in
terest in the circumstances that now
beset all who are asking for oppor-
tunity to serve the public.

Send the Gypsies Gypsying.

An interesting campaign is being
carried on by the state constabulary
of Massachusetts against gypsies. 1t
appears there are several bands in
that state, and with their presence
the number of hold-ups and robberies
of different sorts has materially in
creased. and there is evidence in pos
session Of the officers of the law that
the gypsies are responsible. Now the
state police has adopted a policy of
keeping the gypsles on the move.
While 1t Is not so stated officially. it
is thought in Massachusetts, that the
policy is to drive the gypsies out of
the state and to keep them out.
Which. Of course. is going to be
quite satisfactory to Massachusetts,.
But where Is the game to end? Other
states are not likely to be found in
hospitable mood to receive the migrat-
ing bands. and. even though they are
gypsies. they also are human beings
and must come to rest somewhere.
But the Massachusetts, policy would,
IL followed everywhere. give no place
on earth to stop. and the Shipping
Board needs the ocean to develop it's
merchant marine.
There is a resemblance in this drive
upon the gypsfes to the policy pur-
sued by the bigger cities when they
undertake a drive on criminals. The
purpose in that case is to drive the
criminals out. but no concern what
ever seems to be taken as to where
they go. They simply are required
to change their hunting grounds. to
go elsewhere to pursue their calling.
and in their turn the commu mites
which get the unwelcome additions
also undertake a drive OF their own;
an endless chain sort Of process.
A process that brings about a con-
dition of temporary relief by passing

Just where to draw the line on
spending money for clothes has been
a moot question for years. There are
those who have severely criticized
the Washingtonian, and especially
the government clerk, for putting
too much money on the back and not
enough in savings or in buying
home. In defense, it has been point
ed out that good clothes are neces-
sary for getting ahead in a respecta-

are learning it at deplorable cost, the
price is not too high if the lesson be
learned effectively. Other govern.
ments. notably some of the South
American republics, have had to pay
a much higher price solely because
they did not learn this lesson at the,
beginning Of their careers. 80
1t is impossible not to sympathize
with De Valera and his republican
adherents in their final hopeless strug-
gle to perpetuate the lost cause. For
centuries Irishmen have prayed for
and dreamed and sung Of a free Ire
land, and they cannot bring them
selves to accept the substance Of free
dom while its shadow still eludes
them. A government set up under
the treaty with England would be to
all practical purposes so nearly gov
ernment of the Irish. for the Irish
and by the Irish that there would be
little force left in the appeal for COM
plete severance Of relations with Eng
land. So the advocates of "free
Ireland" feel that their only hope is
to prevent the setting up of the
Free State government. But it has
been demonstrated that the Irish peo-
pie are overwhelmingly for the treaty
and the Free State government, and
it was inevitable that the minority
must yield to the will Of the majority.
The authorities should deal leniently
with the "irregulars" who have laid
down their arms. Their resistance
to the inevitable involved no moral
turpitude. Their fault consisted in
an excess of patriotism and de-
ficiency of practical common sense,
and neither involves criminality. With
the revolt suppressed and the Free
State government firmly established,
the sentiments of Lincoln's second
inaugural address are commended to
those who have authority in Ireland.

Molla and Suzanne.

When, last August. Suzanne Lenglen
came to this, country, as the best
tennis player Of France, and met Mrs.
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory. the American
champion. there was keen interest in
the match, that, however, proved a
disappointment, for; owing to certain
temperamental limitations, the French
woman failed lamentably. not only in
her play, but in her bearing in defeat.
Since then the hope has been expressed
that the two women might meet again
on perhaps neutral ground to deter.
mine; the question OF superiority. The
chance 10 now Aeemingiy at hand.

1t is upon the foundation OF this
