STRIKE AT
THE HIP
POCKET.

THE HIP cealed weapons. But
yesterday he imposed
atwelvemonths term
of incarceration upon
one of this class Of
offenders, ana-at tn e same time expressed
regret that it was not i'll his pow er to make
the sentence more severe. In this respect
everybody outside of the lawlcss clement
is in full accord with Judge Miller. In
fact, IL is a great pity that the offense of
carrying concealed weapons is still classed
under the head of misdemeanors 1t would
be far more To the purpose II it were placed
in the category of felonies, and the Bar
Association of the District could hardly
do better than to give this subject its COLI
sideration, with a view to making proper
Recommendations thereon to Congress.
II may be laid down as a general PROPOSE
ton that man carrying concealed weapons
is either an habitual criminal, tough or
coward. No matter which of these three
designations may lit him, he is "A menace
TO the community, for he is ready to Use
his pistol or knife upon the slightest provo
cation, or without any provocation at all.
The proper exceptions to the rule, of
course, will readily suggest themselves.
There is no need in n civilized community
for any man to make a walking arsenal
of himself, unless he is deliberately and
maliciously bent upon looking for trouble,
either for himself or some one Else. Travel
all over Europe and you will hear less of
concealed weapons in a year than in any
large American city in a week. A man
given to the habit would be looked upon
askance by his acquaintances, aud re-
Garded rs a dangerous companion. Ii
should be so here, and also should the law
dealing with cases of this sort be made far
more rigorous.
Judge Miller has struck the right track
He has the alternative of imposing fine.
but If he will but persevcrc in the policy lie
has adopted, and mete out Imprisonment to
every one efoundcarryingconcc weapons,
either by day or by night, unless having
the requisite authority to do SO, he will
do a great deal toward breaking up the
practice in the District. Jail sentences,
ranging from three to twelve months, Will
close the hip pocket more quickly and more
surely than all the fines that can be piled up.
