law making it a serious misde-
meanor for any private citizen to
carry concealed weapons, and it
has been pointed out that this
law never disarmed a lawless
character. The statement will
not be disputed. Thieves and
highwaymen, and a large per-
centage Of toughs carry wea-
pons. Because law abiding cit
liens are unarmed they are all
the more apt to be made the VIC
tins of the lawless element.
Highwaymen and thieves are
generally towards, and attack
only when they are certain their
intended victim is at a disadvan-
tage. If it were known that
every law-abiding citizen carried
a pistol, very few robberies
would be attempted, says the st.
Louis Republic. The average
robber is very much like an In
dian-he has great consideration
for the man who is loaded and
ready for him.
There is another side to the
question of carrying concealed
weapons: 1t is not every man
who is fit to carry a weapon,
even if he is a law-abiding citi-
zen. The Average American is
entirely to prone to have recourse
to pistol for the settlement of
trifling differences to make it
safe for everyone to go armed.
If every man carried weapon,
many petty disputes would end
in homicides. Any good citizen
would rather be held up and
robbed twice month as long as
he lives than to take the life of
his fellow-man without just
cause.
The law against carrying con-
cealed weapons was enacted
partly to prevent the better ele-
ment of citizens from having re-
course to death dealing instru-
ments in the settlement of trivial
matters. 1t was never intended
to prevent any man from defend
ing his own life or the lives of
those dependent upon him. The
courts have been very liberal in
constituting the law. 1t is made
as oppressive as possible in deal
ing with lawless characters,
while a wide scope has always
been accorded the man who is !
known to be a good citizen. |
There are very few peace officers
who would arrest a man known
to be a law-abiding citizen if
they knew he had a weapon con-
cealed on his person. They i
would take it for granted that he
had good reason for being
The law is a great help to the
police in way that many people
do not understand. If a tough
is found with a pistol
or weapon of any kind on his
person, the police need not wait
for him to commit some crime,
but can arrest him and cause
him to be punished forthwith. A
full knowledge of this fact keeps
the lswless element in constant
fear of the police and the courts,
and proves a safeguard to society
that is much more effective than
IS generally supposed.

tain the valuable Mineral.
Pipestone, Minn., March %. - Some
time ,.go an eminent Chicago chemist
discovered that the red building stone
uuarried here contained sgoodly per
cent Of aluminium, which was easily
extracted by an electric process. An
agent was at once dispatched to this
city to look the quarries over and pur-
chase them IL possible, and deal was
nearly completed but was frustrated
by a misunderstanding among the
Chicago parties interested. 1t has
since leaked out that samples Of the
store contained, by assay, very high
percentage of aluminium, and that this
was the reason the Chicago men had
wanted the Qua.ries. Local people ut
once sent samples to noted London as
sayers. who have just returned re.
port OF analysis that shows from 1928
to 1913 per cent aluminium, which Is
.mply sufficient for profitable extrnc-

Situation i'm st. Paul.

st. Paul, March 27.---The water in
the Mississippi river is steadily but
surely reaching the danger line-ten
feet-for the low lands along the river
front. Yesterday morning the govern
ment gauge registered eight feet four
inches and last night the water had
reached the nine-foot mark. A week
ago the water in the river registered
only two feet seven inches. Since then
the increase has averaged foot day.
With the warm weather promised by
the signal service Office the rise is ex-
pected to be much more rapid. 1t is
estimated that nearly 1000 persons
are living on the low lands along the
river bank, and foot and half more
water in the river will food the homes
Of nearly all Of them. The police have
warned q number Of the residents in
this district Of the impending danger
and cautioned them to move or pre-
pare for emergencies, but few have
needed the warning, seeming indif-
ferent to the menacing attitude OF the
river Many factories will also be Grip
