Wopian's Honor.
Is SHOTGUN LAW lrs BEST rRoTEo-
"a 'F TioN?

81 - d
When Sam Jones told Missis-
sippi congregation that it was all
right to shoot tho destroyer of a
woman's honor, some people were
shocked, and an indignant writer in
the New Orleans Times Uen,ocq.a
declared that Southern women did
not need the protection of tho shot
gun.
The Memphis 1palanche sides
with Sam Jones. In recent issue
it said:
"Thc practice of retailing scanda-
lous gossip is becoming entirely too
common in Memphis, and l. it is not
stopped somebody is going to get
badly hurt. The time was here
when men would have been ashamed
to indulge in such talk, and when a
breach in q woman's character was
usually patched with dcath-dealing
lead. 1t seems that in getting from
traditional Southern customs wo are
also laying aside the Southern ideas
of honor and respect for woman.
a harmless word or act Of q woman
may easily be reported on the street
corners in such o way rs to cast sus-
picion upon her, and a woman once
suspected is half-damned. The out
look at present promises first-class
killing or two in tho near future, and
when the time comes and the blood
is split every right-minded man and
woman in the community will say it
was well split. Notwithstanding
our progress" the punishment for a
slanderor of woman in this country
is still death. A number of more or
less prominent men and dudes will
do we'll to make note Of the fact"
Our contcmporary's bold talk will
not doubt be endorsed by many of
its readers. 1t is an unpleasant fact
that as people learn to value life
more they learn to value honor
less. Before the war in this section
men had to control their tongues or
suffer tho penalty In those days
we had no mashers, and the SANDER
Gus freedom of speech now OCCASION
ally tolerated was almost entirely un-
known.
The old fashioned Southcrner
never thought of appealing to the
uncertain methods of the law when
man dealt deadly blow at the
honor Of a female member of his
family. Something of the old spirit
still survives, but there is differ
cncc, and the Memphis paper sadly
recognizes it. Despite all the talk
of the Northern press about South.
crn lawlcssness, the shotgun is
rarely appealed to these days. Men
conceal their grievances or go to
law.
1t may be doubted whether we
have made any substantial gain by
this change. We have made human
life more secure, but we have also
thrown safeguard around every
scoundrel who feels disposed to be-
come q scandal-monger.
The subject is difficult one to
deal with. One thing, however, is
ccrtain-we need a public opinion
that will be rs powerful moral reg
ulator as the shotgun was a genera
ton ago. If we must suppress
deadly weapons, we must find way
of snpprcssing deadly tongues.-At-
lonta Constellation.

Masked Men Board Train In California and
do Much Damage
DELANo, Ual.-As train No. II left
Pixley Friday evening five masked men
boarded it. Two went on the engine and
covered the engineer and firemen with re-
volvers. When about two miles from the
station the train was brought to a stop
and the other three men entered the eX
press car and ordered the messenger to
open the box, covering him with revol-
vers. Dynamite bombs were ex ploded
under the car. During the excitement
several of the passengers ran toward the
front, and two of them were shot. Z S.
Bentley, of Modesto, was probably fatally
wounded, and Charles Gabert, of Poso,
was killed instantly. The train ran back to
Pxley, where the news was left. The
passenger coaches were not molested.
LATER The coroner held an in
quest over tho body of Charles +. Gabert.
The testimony given byEugene Bolger, and
Fireman Alder showed that when leaving
Pixley, two masked m Ell boarded the en-
CINE with shot gun and, when two miles

then the engineer and fireman
were taken back by the robbie RS to the
express car and a bomb was thrown m
der the car, the explosion which nearly
turned the car over. The messenger
came out when ordered and one of the
robbers entered the car while the other
held the fireman, engineer and messenger
under cover, meanwhile Brakeman Gabert
came up one side of the car and Bently
