DANGEROUS WEAPONS.

Major Sylvester has the right idea
about the dangerous practice Of carrying
wear ons,' remarked a law-abiding cltl-
zen to a Star reporter after he had read
the annual report of the police chief
1T IS the idea of Major Sylvester that
persons who go armed should be sent
to prison and not fined. and the idea IS
a correct one.
He Quoted the report of the suDerin-
tehdent on the subject in which the lat

certain penalties for the carrying Of
concealed weapons was drafted and be-
came a law, but statistics do not JUS

has been abandoned On the other
hand. there has been a gradual increase
in the number of approximations, as
there were 23S arrests last year, as com
pared with 226 arrests the preceding
year
I'm order to diminish the offense, it
seems the punishment should be more
adequate and that the individual who
stalks the streets prepared to kill should
be sent to prison, where he would have
an opportunity to reflect upon the gray
ity Of such conduct. The sale of dan
gerOuS Wea DOnS should be restricted to
persons Of lawful age. and dealers
should be required to keep the number
or a mark Of identification of every
weapon sold. This is necessary on Occa-
sions to establish guilt in murder cases.

Major Sylvester for the stand he has
taken in this natter the citizen con-
tinued. mo man has the right to go
about the streets in civilized com
munity armed with pistol or razor

nounces his candidacy in column
and half article, giving his views
on all subjects in sight, including
his religious views. He gives a
model that scheming politicians
might do well to follow IN future.
He starts out with two powerful
arguments in behalf Of his candi-
dacy, as follows:
"1st. l believe in God the
Father, Christ the son and the
Holy Ghost.

shall live and we shall then render

al principles of civil government

Mr.. Duke sets the pace for his
competitors in another matter as
follows:

stated salary without additional
expense for secretaries, ushers or

81 favor a large pro rata for
