read all over the Island his sales
had been knocked to glory, so he
was leaving. AS a result, many
who might have purchased from
him were forced to the alternative
of either going without silk stock
ings or buying from our home
merchants.
Only yesterday two strangers,
agents of some sort, came into the
office to buy copies of the two
editorials on the subject. They
had evidently been meeting with
references to 1t on their rounds of
the Island. All of which is very
flattering, but the fact remains.
Each year this class of salespeople
take away from the community
hundreds of dollars that should be
spent at home, or possibly not at
all. We know that for personally
we have purchased books under the
pressure of itinerant statesmen that
we did not need and have never
used, and we imagine that there
are others who have done the same
thing.
Free trade is one of the Con-
stitutional rights of the American
people, and this Of course applies
to these statesmen, theoretically.
But self-preservation is an even
greater and older right.
If our community is to grow,
and we are all to mutually benefit,
it is logical that instead of allow
ing our dollars to go elsewhere for
that which can just as cheaply be
purchased at home 1t is only good
common sense to keep our money
at home either with our home
merchants or in our home bank
accommodating interest daily.
The poor We have with We always,
so likewise these agents whose con-
Germ is not your satisfaction, nor
future patronage, but what they
can talk you out Of. But it would
take only very short time, and
degree of persistent refusal be-
fore the Island would be well rid
of this annual annoyance. There
is the communication among the
fraternity whereby all branches
know where the fat picking is to
be had, and by the same Sign If
our community turned thumbs
down on peddlers of all sorts it
would take only short time until
the fact would be known. After
all 1t would be just as easy to be
known as community of home
boosters, as a community Of easy
marks and lot more to be proud
Of. What do you think about It,

Editorial
PUBLIC PESTS

Like the seven year plague of
the locusts that we read about in
history the usual annual plague of
agents here on Vashon- Maury Is,
land is still in full swing. Some
of the experiences our local people
are having with these visitors
would be funny were it not for the
indignation that is aroused. The
theory upon which many of these
people work is that if they can
once get inside of the door it is as
good as a sale, depending not on
their fine salesmanship but on
wearing out the resistance of their
prospect. Like the case of a
woman who after a long courtship
will say Eyes" and marry a man
to get rid of him, too often an
agent will make his sale by wearing
out the resistance of a customer.
In the cities peddlers and agents
are obliged to secure a license eX-
actly like cats, dogs, or anyother
thing that is, or may become a
public nuisance, but out here, in
the wide open spaces the sky is
the limit, and they can harass the
people, getting the money by fair
means or foul to their hearts con-
tent. Consequently it is up to the
people to protect themselves, and
develop the ability to say no.
At the time the News-Record a
few weeks ago published an edi-
torial on this subject salesman
for certain brand of silk hosiery
was reaping rich harvest. He
spent some time here and was
planning on spending some more.
(Note: He was spending TIME,
not MONEY! When our editorial
appeared he honored us with q call.
As usual, whenever the editor
Of paper tramples on anyone's
toes a damage suit is invariably
the first threat. So 1t was with
this gentleman. He finally was
forced to admit that we had over
looked mentioning his particular
brand of hosiery and would under
the circumstances be allowed, to-
escape. A few days later as he
was leaving the Island one Of our
good friends asked him why he was
going so soon and he replied that
after the well-written CD
editorial that had evidently been

that it will not be long before all

Elma to Cloquet, 1900 miles in five
days and nights and in spite Of the
hard strain he had been put to he en-

most wonderful showing. Foster rs

Miller-Defender Of Youth Of Today

Miller-Defender Of Youth Of Today
at is my intention to cooperate to
the fullest extent with the mothers
and fathers of youths who become in
volved with the law over some trivial
offense," said Charles H. Miller, can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney, adj
dressing group Of Seattle mothers.
"Our youths of today are impulsive
and they often times commit some tri-
vial offense that causes their arrests.
They should not be stained with the
name Of criminal nor given that pub
licity that will injure them in after
life. 1t is then they need the help that
can only be given them through CO.
operation.
What is needed is q more human
tartan attitude toward our fellow man.
When a person is arrested all the
forces of law are Immediately put to
work to prove him guilty. This is
wrong for prosecutor is just as much
a public defender as he is prosecu-
tor.
II have witnessed the law going to
the fullest extent to prove some inno-
cent man guilty-and / want to say
that good prosecutor is not one who
bases his record on how many people
he can send to prison--but how many
he can reclaim for society and send
them back to earning livelihood for
their families.
