ABOUT ClRRYING PISTOLS


We regard such law as unjust and outrageous
ON all good citizens, inasmuch as It places them at
q disadvantage when they come In contact with
those who have no respect for law order or mo.
nifty. II every citizen was allowed 10 carry arms
al libitum, which right Is guaranteed under the
Constitution Of the United States, there would be
far less crimes committed than there are at pres
cnt, Let the yagnbond understand that the law
abiding citizen has the necessary tools abont him
Tor selfprotectOn and he will not b9 NJ euger to
offer insults aud engage In all SORTS OF brOs. Such
law should never have been enacted. aud we
hope II will be repealed Cidrtsddis (uiss) hide
pendenL
This is a dreadful proposition, and we
feel sure our contemporary Oh further
reflection will withdraw it. To the Gus.
tom OF carrying arms the South and West
owes ninety-nine Of every hundred muir
ders committed within their limits. When
n man who has arms is angerod his first
prompting is to use his pistol or his knife.
IL makes him moro aggressive than he
would otherwise feel, and he is more apt
TO take the chance OF overcoming an OPP
pOnent than he would ii ho did not have
weapon, not even pocket knife. Whena
man in civilized community, where
the laws are enforced, puts II pistol in
his pocket he Is already more than
half resolved ON murder. This is not the
frame OF mind TO encourage. On the con-
trary, like civilized and Christian men who
appreciate and desire peace, it is TO stand
by the laws and set good example OF
obedience 10 them. The community that
encourages the carrying Of arms encourages
the idea that every man may be law
unto himself, and TO encourage that Is TO
encourage chaos and wanton aud savage
law of retaliation, Of vengeance and re-
vcngc. States arc formed for a pur.
pose opposite 10 this II is that
every man shall subordinate him
self to the law which guarantees
all alikc-rich and poor, black as well ms
whitc-liic, liberty aud the pursuit of hap
pincss and absolute equality. The carry
ing Of arms means bloodshcd, riot and
trouble; II means decay, dry tot and loss
OF population, for no sensible, pcacc.ov.
ing man who Is intent on making living,
hearings family and laying up for rainy
day wants to live in community which
comedies and defends and encourages the
habit Of carrying arms. The man who
carries n pistol should be regarded aud
Stunned as possible murderer and the
authorities should arrest and punish him
M such, and in that way educate all men
To appreciate the force, the effect aud the
sanclity Of law.
