Weapons. Constitutional provisions
are urged against its passage, but if
any one feels something of the sort
necessary for defense, let him be
made to carry them openly. This
would subject any man that did so to
a ridicule that would be sure to cure
him of his fears. The day is long
past when anything of this kind was
necessary. 1t ear prairics were still
peopled by Indians there might be
some apology for never appearing
abroad without weapons, but that
time is over and the great majority Of
our people are peaceful and law
abiding. People have little to fear
except from those who carry revolv-
ers, and to take them away from
these would have a tendency to keep
even hew Out of mischief and dam
ger as well as the community at large.
Few of those that carry arms are
good for much besides fighting. To
do so habitually is an index of char
acter. 1t proclaims that the bearers
are ready for deadly conflict on q
moments notice. 1t sets everybody
on guard against them, and if they
are the recipients of injury it puts
an excuse into the mouths of their
adversaries that is too often accepted
