Our old crop Of general officers being

younger lot. Last November General Miles
made an address to command of 700
troops Of all arms at Camp Wears, Min

most remote station Of any portion of
the United States army. He said that he
found here an officer in Command who twen-

make his mark If he ever had an oppor-

troops was Captain John ]. Pershing, Fiji

The prediction made by General Miles so

upon his services as a second lieutenant

a judge of quality in his own profession,
whatever one may think of him in other
respects for Pershing certainly has made
a name for himself out there. under con-

driven the tribesmen from their strong
holds by force of arms and then turned
about and won their regard by adebt di-
plomacy of the highest order. He has over

AS TO PISTOL TOTING."


Soutnern Faper Draws a Lesson from
kOl<OmO Disclosures.
Raleigh On. Co. News and Observer
Recent crimes in North and South Caro-
lima, where the man who killed his enemy
or antagonist whipped a pistol out of his
pocket in moment, shows that pistol tot
ing is all too common in the Carolinas The
press and the pulpit-the twin teachers and
leaders of grown-up men-must use every
influence to put an end to that unlawful
and dangerous practice. Many a man has
stained his hands in the blood of his fell
bowman In a moment Of passion who
would otherwise have no guilt of taking
another's life If he had not been In the
habit of carrying a pistol South Carolina
has passed a law forbidding the sale of
pistols except to officers of the law. 1t is
a good statute.
But, while the people Of North Carolina
and South Carolina are looking their faults
squarely in the face and seeking to remedy
the pistol toting, which is very rare among
us when the number of homicides is con-
sidered. the people OF other States ought to
do likewise. In fact, the practice in these
two States is much less common than In
some localities that assume to lecture the
Sam ind a ; special teiegram from ko-
that the area of the chief pistol toting is
north Of the Ohio river. The telegram
reads:
Superintendent Ogg, of the city schools
to-day ordered all the boys in school
searched for weapons. About 500 small
caliber pistols were found. All these had
loaded cartridges in them, and Chief of
Police Taylor pronounced them deadly
weapons"
No such examination in any Southern city
would show the young boys growing up
with the deadly weapon toting habit. Our
men do more killing, but our boys rarely
carry deadly weapons on their person. The
next generation will show an Improvement
in the matter of homicides
Speaking Of pistol toting, a thoughtful
member of the State Senate, who lives in
Piedmont, n. c., said it had been his OBJ
servation that no men, save in case of an
expected assault. carried pistols, except
men who have some secret sin and who
were conscious of being violators of the
law. And he is very nearly right about IL
