Cure For tho Gun Habit.

ls it not about time that the "gun
habit" which aflicts certain sections Of
this country was corrected? 1t Is
doubtful II there is a community in the
whole United States where the neces.
g.ty now exists for armed protection
against lawlessness, and the notion
that q gentleman must have always in
his hip pocket q death dealing argu-
ment to spring on those who oppose
his views or to right his wrongs. real
or imaginary, is about obsolete in the
best regulated society. There are bet.
ter ways than shooting Of settling dis
agreements between individuals or fac
tions, and recourse would oftener be
had to these ways IL 1t were not that
disputants are sometimes men who
have been brought up under the influ-
ence Of the gun habit and have. &C.
customed themselves to rely only upon
their shooting irons' in time of trou-
bic. whether the trouble is of slight
Importance or more so.
Whether they admit it or not, it is q
truth that men who habitually carry
pistols are more likely to urge a dis
agreement or quarrel to the danger
line than those who 60 unarmed. They
have a greater degree of what they
mistakenly call courage" when they
know that II matters come to "a show
down" they can shoot. Proof Of this
assertion is found in the frequent in
stances Of disputes held in allegiance
on the motion of one or both Of the dis
putants until the, for the moment, un-
armed can FIX" himself. With most
men the disposition when the blood is
hot is to ''go the limit" To the man
with six shooter in his pocket nothing
short Of six empty chambers and a
smoking barrel is the limit.
1t Is true men sometimes shoot in
self defense or succeed in establish
ing the plea Of self defense in court,
but in majority Of such cases self
defense was made necessary because
the other man carried gun or was
supposed to be, victim Of the ''gun
habit" When the dangerous and bru.
TALKING habit shall have been'generally
tabooed, then quarrels will be settled
under legal forms or by a. punch on
the nose. Then the good citizen, the

victim to a moments passion and Ell

POLITICAL LETTER.
Topics of Interest Which Are Dis
cussed at the State
Capital

lican clubs is awakening with a
live interest in the forthcoming
national convention to be held
in St. Paul in July. President
Wright, of Minneapolis, has
oeen actively stimulating re-
organization of the old, and the
formation of new clubs, since
January first and with excellent
success. The biennial conven.
ton of the state league occurs
in st. Paul on July Is, the day
previous to the national conven-
ton, with which it will unite
after a single business session.
Clubs are organizing in nearly
every county in the state, with
a purpose of attending in bodies
the great Roosevelt Beveridge
demonstration, for while it is
definitely known that the rough
rider of the Spanish war, and
model governor of the Empire
state, will address the national
league convention, there is little
doubt that Senator Beveridge,
the young and brilliant orator,
will be in attendance.
It must be considerable of a
puzzle to the Democratic man.
ayers to figure out just what
issue they will 60 before the
people on to catch the farmer
vote. This administration was
in gurated as distinctly farm
ers affair, and the results to
date have been. first, an ad-
vance in the price of binding
twine; second, an advance in
the fee for inspecting grain;
third an increase in the number
and salaries of the grain in
spectors; fourth, the complete
decentralization of the inspection
system with an absolute dis
crediting of the grades; fifth, the
veto by the governor of a bill
which furnished the only means
by which the farmer could take
direct appeal to the courts,
without further testimony, from
the railroad and warehouse
commission; sixth, a system of
assessments upon all office
holders for the support of the ad-
uinistration machine; seventh,
the appointment for the first
time in it's history, of a solid
partisan railroad commission.
Every item of this bill of parti-
culars has been distinctly de-
clared against by the grain
growers and farmers of the
state from time immemorial and
most of them have found
prominent places in the Popu-
list and Democratic campaign
platforms of former years.
Evidently the Lind administra-
is making up it's mind to look
elsewhere for votes. Judging
from the number of city poll.
ticians appointed as grain in
spectors it is natural to assume
that the governor is looking to
the cities for his reelection.
Unless all the Democratic and
fusion leaders and editors are
mistaken, Gov. Lind will stand
fora denomination and again
be a candidate for governor.
The best Republican papers of
the state present every evidence
of sincerity when they declare
that they really prefer his
nomination and a finish tight
with the strongest candidate
the opposition can name. All
conditions this year are favor
able to Republican success, and
it is deemed highly desirable
that the opposition candidate
be of such a character that his
defeat will leave no question as
the absolute supremacy of the
Republican party in this state.

Of heredity in crime, he said:
"Specialists and experts in criminol-

fact that crime is incurable and hered-

"There are others, who have labored
for the reformation of the criminal and

HARD ON CRIMINALS.
Rev. Cyrus F. Wixon Advances a
Startling Idea.
He FavOFs the Exterminati ton OF All
Lawbreakers Guilty of Capital or
State Prison OHenses by
Means of ChlOrOfOrm.

Rev. Cyrus F. WiXon, a retired Meth
odist clergyman, of Newburg, N. Y,
recently announced at meeting of a
Chautauqua circle that he was in favor
of the determination of criminals.
Asked how he would exterminate them,
he replied to q New York Herald re-
porter:
1.-The guillotine is too bloody, hang
ing is too violent and electrocution is
too uncertain and expensive. We don't
know how much the criminal suffers.
When criminal has committed two Of
lenses 1 would chloroform him. don't
think it is right that hundred thou
sand criminals should be saddled on the
pockets of taxpayers. Criminologists
say that crime is hereditary. Yes, l
would chloroform them"
Rabbi Hartog Weld asked Mr.. Wixon
if he did not think there was chance
for reform.
"There is not one criminal in a hun.
dred that is ever reformed" replied Mr..
Wixon.
"You are older than l." rejoned DR..
Neld, and though L have had eXpe-
rience as a prison chaplain | will not
contradict you," and then the matter
was dropped.
Rev Mr.. Wixon is mild-mannered
benign looking gentleman, about 6;
years old. When asked to define the
line of offenses which he considered
called for the death penalty he replied:
''As to what classes of people should
be subjected to capital punishment, !
would include those whose offenses are
adjudged capital now, also state prison
offenses. Capital punishment should
be inflicted in those cases after the sec
ond offense. l may add that there are
some state prison offenses which I con
slider should be capital crimes, such a:
polygamy and cases of great violence
In response to a question as to how
he would carry out this proposition
Rev. Mr.. Wixon said:
I'm the first place it would be nee.
essary for some of the laws on ou1
