Pistol Selling.
Lack of Homicide Preventives Which
Prevent.


Whenever news of a homicide star
ties the public out of the customary
calm of civilization, there is naturally
a discussion of ways and means to
prevent such things in future. Such
means has been found IN the law
against carrying concealed weapons,
and that which regulates TO some
small extent the sale of pistols and
other firearms to irresponsible per
sons. As things now stand, the dealer
In such articles may take the name
and address possibly fctitious)
which his customer gives him, and
may use his discretion in refusing to
sell dangerous weapons TO persons
who seem to be insane or homicidally
inclined. Inasmuch as it takes a
squad of trained experts to decide, IN
many cases, whether a man Is really
crazy or only now and then out of his
head. and in view of the well-known
inability of juries to distinguish be
tween insanity. homicidal mania, and
natural depravity, It VIII be seen that
this throws a heavy responsibility on
the dealer. tt Is probable that any
man not obviously intoxicated or OF
msound mind can, by using ordinary
intelligence, buy a pistol in any city
and use 1t an hour latet to Kill some
body.
But what Is to be done? We might
have laws requiring police permission
10 use a pistol, but then. what about
the ever-possible burglar? And what
Is to prevent any man getting permis-
sion to keep 2 pistol on the preteXt
that he needs 1t to repel such IN
vaders? The fact Is that this matter
Is one very difficult to reach by any
law.
There Is one way IN which homi-
eides could be reduced in number,
however, and without legislation; and
that IS by certain changes IN public
sentiment. At present there are zoo
many people in tie community who
talk Lightly about crimes of violence.
There are % many women ready 10
say thai II a nan did such and sach
a thing tl.ev would shoot hila: too
many mon Who strut around boasting
of the readiness with which they
would use a pistol in this or that con-
tingency. 1t Is natural for people
whose minds run IN this channel to
turn TO firearms TO avenge any real OF
fancied wrong, and unfortunately the
law, unlike the stage and the novel
ist, does not recognize the right Of a
man to kill his sweetheart if she hap
pens to like somebody else better, OF
TO XIII another man who calls him an
unpleasant name. Moreover. for
every person who sheets another with
some such excuse, there are two who
commit a crime on grounds which eA-
Isl only IN their own imaginations.
Safety lies in inspiring thoughtless
people with a prejudice against pis
tol-popping as strong as that which
some Of them now have IN favor Of it.

The Man of Talent Confronts q
Dilemma.

Dilemma
In these days the young author, or
artist, or musician, or other brilliant
man Of talent, who has made one
striking success, Is placed between
Scylla and Chsrybdis, or, less poeti-
colly but more intelligibly, between
the devil and the deep blue sea The
one success brings from every diree-
ton iattering invitations to write, or
paint, or compose to order, and wn-
less the youth have more than ordi-
nary endurance and originality, he
very soon sinks to the level of the me-
diocre.
Take. for example, the commenest
career Of this sort-the career Of the
talented novelist. After some years
of apprenticeship in the writing OF
fiction and the studying of human ma
ture, the young novelist exploits some
enc type Of our many-sided American
people so successfully as to produce
zone of the six best selling books"
For a while requests pour in for
stories, for serials. for poems, for
anything and everything that will
bring the authors name into the col
umns Of current literature. Usually
the young author has a desk full of
efforts which came back from unap-
preciative publishers in the days of
his immaturity. and he uses those as
far as they will 60, and replies to the
more important requests with the best
that IS in him. But there comes a
tiEle when his desk and his head are
empty, and he feels that he needs time
to let ideas grow-time. perhaps, TO
study other varieties of human ma
ture besides the enc which he IS
proved to know. If he be improvi-
dent. he may have no money to follow
( his inclination: if he be luxurious. ne
may have formed extravagant tastes;
( if he be timid. he may distrust his
own artistic ideals; in any case, he
must face the conviction that if he
keeps on writing. he will write trash.
Judging by results, the majority yield
to temptation and write trash. A
nubbin of fact which can be dug on;
of the trash IS that only the excep-
tional genius has more than one good
novel and some good poems IN him
before he Is thirty. he may write
one good novel, but be needs time To
assimilate and gather knowledge be-
fore be can write another, and espe-
eialty before he can write one or
broad lines. The young authors OF
today are too apt to put all that Is IN
them into one book.
On the other hand. suppose our
young author Is plucby enough to re-
sist temptation and refuse (. give the
public anything but work worthy Of
him. In that case he Will wait five. or
ten, or fifteen years and earn his liv-
/ ing somehow at uneongenial work, be-
fore he writes another book. and then
he viii find that the public has to be
introduced to him all over again. and
that its taste has so changed that per
haps his book viii be failure. though
It be even better than his first. So
there YOU are. Talk about the tickle
ness Of woman! No woman was ever
half 50 changeable as the reading pub
/ lie. BY patient study one man can
find out most of one woman's mo
tives, but nobody has vet discovered
half the influences which control the
April moods Of the public.
