The Attorney General of Miss:s-
sippT says that drinking houses and
the habit of carrying concealed
weapons are the causes of nine
tcnths of crime, violence, and disor-
der ia the State. He refers to the
usual plea that the Constitution OF
the United States authorizes the
people to keep and bear arms, "
and says that this provision refers
only to military arms. The right
of Lawmakers to regulate the man
ner in which arms shall be kept and
borne has long been settled. 1t was
never intended that the Constitu-
tionai provision should permit the
bad practice Of wearing deadly
Weapons concealed about the per-

And every other means you've tried
Suppose you twist his tail;
It's likely that win make him land.
