A survey of Is Minnesota towns

populated centers, ~disclOses the atti-
tude Of the cities public officials and
merchants.
Once upon a time a peddler with a
pack upon his back. bringing news Of
the outside world and the gossip Of
the community, was a welcome visitor
in the frontier homes Of Minnesota.
Now, with modern methods of mer-
chandising and communications de-
welOped to undreamed of efficiency,
the peddler is gradually being forced
from business in Minnesota.
Termed an "EviF'
A general practice has been adopted
by most Of the municipalities to COM
bat, what they term ''the peddling
evil" This is a license fee, and the
survey disclOses that these fees range
from $500 to 500 a day.
AT New Ulms the fee is so high as
to make peddling almost prohibitive.
The fee there is $50 to 500, depend
ing upon the activity engaged in,
while the permit secured is good foE
a year, a much longer time than is
desired by the average "hawker."
Mankato merchants have adopted q
unique method Of campaigning against
the "evil." The Chsmber Of Gem

The building is in the Romanesque

1t is at once an ornament to the city,
an object of interest, and one of par

The building is heated and ven

During the past eight years black
stem rust has destroyed 5O,OOO,O00
bushels of grain in the northwestern
states, said DR.. E. G. Stackman in
charge of barberry erdication work
for the United States, in a radio
message to farmers Of the northwest
recently. DR.. Stackman told Of the
progress made in barberry eradication
in the spring wheat states, and urged
that the campaign be continued until
every common barberry plant, which
is the host of the black stem rust, is
destroyed.

MOorhead comes very close to the
high license mark established by New
Ulm, for at that place they charge
SIS a day to canvass or peddle. How
ever, MOOrhead exempts former serv-
ice men from the payment Of the fee.
A sliding scale Of licensing the ped
dlers is in vogue in several places,
especially at Albert Lee, where the
fee ranges from 50 to $40 a day. Not
only is the fee high, but the mayor
has authority to deny any license he
wishes.
Protect Merchants
The merchants at Wisdom have
taken the position that the merchants
Of the city, long established in bust
ness and forced to pay heavy taxes
for the support Of the city, should
be protected by a heavy license fee en-
hOuse-tO-house peddlers.
This comedies with Willmar's idea,
and there they have a fee of SIS a day,
excepting persons who sell or peddle
the products Of the farm or garden
occupned and cultivated by them.
Red Wing keeps a close check on
peddlers, and the fee runs from So to
$25, varying according to the cOndi-
tiOns the peddlers wish to employ.
The residents Of that place are adj
vised by the Chamber of Commerce
to refrain from purchasing from itin-
Grant statesmen, unless they possess
the proper credentials from the Cham
Der of Commerce. This is a practice
quite general in Minnesota.
Even Vets Barred
Former soldiers are barred from
~peddling with a license at Luverne
where the license fee is fixed al
$3.50.

gained attempt on the part Of Mime

ing. individual organizations an

Price Of Asbestos

The Courier is informed that there
is a good demand for asbestos in
San Francisco at S25 to $50 per ton,
providing the supply is ample and
continuous. Dealers say that a fine,
silky, fibrous appearance is charac-
t~eristic of the best asbestos and that
asbestos Of this quality has never
been found in any quantity in Cali
fornia.
1t strikes us that the quality
found in Gallatin county would j2st
about fill the bill.

At Luncheon

At an overflow luncheon meeting
of the Rotary Club of st. Paul, in
the Palm Room of the st. Paul Hotel
Tuesday, Mr.. Elmer A. Carter, Sec
retary of the st. Paul Urban League
in an eloquent and forceful plea
voiced the inspirations of the colored
people of st. Paul relative to indus
trial opportunity. Mr.. Carter de-
clared that the problems of the Negro
were easy of solution when the dom
inant race was actuated by spirit Of
fair play. He said in part:
'The so-called Negro problem is in
a reality a series of problems which
are largely capable of solution. There
are problems of housing, of recre-
alton, of employment, of adjustment.
The Negro does not ask for pity-nor
does he petition you for sympathy.
He only asks that you give him an
opportunity the same as is extended
to every other man and woman in
America.
The right to-work is fundamental
right-and any artificial restrictions
arbitrarily placed on any group. A.
nally is charged to the community.
The community pays for it's denial of
opportunity to the Negro-and pays
dearly" u
At the close Of his address, Mr..
Carter was greeted with enthusias-
tic and prolonged applause.

cial statement showing their class
standing and the work which they
had done at Fisk while in attend
ance. Several times lawsuits have
been threatened because of this re-
fusal.
This has been the case for years,
but in the recent upheaval the situa-
tion has become intensified. McKen-
zie is determined that the dissatis-
fed students must either stay at Fisk
University or lose. their chance of
education. However, when threat
ened with damage suits on account of
his unwarranted arrest of six stu
dents during the so-called riot" Nc
Kenzie, having no witnesses to sup
port him, went into court and on con-
dition that the damage suits be with
drawn signed the following paper:

Mr.. E. A. Carter, the first speaker

cure positions for colored people that
work in the National Association
would>assure them. The comparison
of the two organizations was forci-
bly, brought out by Mr.. Carter.
