The Last legislature enacted a Law
making the carrying OF concealed wesp-
y a msiemesnor, punishable by fine
or irprisonment, a person may, how
ever, upon showing sufficient rause ob.
tain a permit upon application TO the
Board Of County Commissioners, such
permit 30 be aitestej by :he County
Clerk. Such a Law is, generally speak
ing. a highly respectable one and Is
upon the statutes OF most OF the States
In the Unioc, although IT Is, in our
opinion questionable whether in the
aggregate it has not worked more harm
than good. The better element that
carries weapons for eef protection, Or
other iustiiable purposes is more apt 10
obey It's provisions than the turbulent
and vicious, With whom the law is prac.
tically a dead letter. The iootpad or
hghwsymdn would certainly pay no
attention to the statute. while the good
citizen whose business requires him
sometimes to he out late at night in the
town or to travel on lonely roads in the
country, Is without protection against
this class OF Criminals and is liable to
lose his property or even his life, be-
AUS OF his observance Of the law Of his
State.
In making the County Commissioners
the source Of tbs permit granting power
practically nullities hat section OF the
statute designed to grant the privilege
to those who would avail themselves OF
it for iustitiable and lawful purposes.
The Boards are generally in session
only a few days III each month and the
red tape incident to III application is as
unnecessary ne it Is burdensome aud an
noying TO the applicant. The chief of
police i'll incorporated cities auh the
sheriffs OF counties elsewhere, are the
proper and logical persons to hold and
exercise that power. They are aces.
eible at all times, aud are better quail
fed to exercise it %judiciously than any
other officers of the county or State. 1t
il to be hoped that the next legislature
will amend the Act to that effect, or re-.
peal it altogether.-RenO journal.
