larly those of large municipalities.
what l advocate is this: that the
manufacture, importation and sale Of all
firearms be placed under government
supervision, and that suitable tax be
levied on same, sufficient, at least. to
cover the cost of such supervision. It
seems to me that a government which
can enforce law against a citizen hav-
ing in his possession a copper still or
worm, with which 1t is possible to distill
spirits, ought to pass and enforce law
that will prohibit a 14-year-old boy fr ON
purchasing magazine revolver, with
which he can depopulate town If given
half chance. There should be a law
recurring the impression of a govern
ment seal on each and every f1rearm
manufactured, and no one should be per-
mitted to have in his or her possession
a firearm of any sort without having 1t
registered at the Office of the internal
revenue collector of the district in whicA
he resides. do not believe that such 4
law would entirely check the reign OF
lawlessness which seems to prevail all
over our country, but do believe that
more boys go wrong and step from idle
ness to crime through the ownership OF
a revolver than from any other cause.
There are laws now In different states
throughout the union requiring what is
equal to a license on shotguns and rifles,
but those laws are for the protection Of
game. It would seem to me that 1t is
time for the government to pass a law
regulating the manufacture and owner
ship OF firearms for the protection of ku-
man lives"

MIGHT CHECK CRIME.
Sale of Firearms to Be Controlled by
National Government.
Postmaster Coyns, Of Chicago, Adj
vances an Argument Which Ger.
tainly IL Worthy Of Serious and
mediate COnsideratlon.

It used to be said that crime was at its
minimum during prosperous times, but
the records of the two years just passed
has upset this time-honored theory. In
all parts of the country. but more espe-
cially in Chicago and other large cities,
murders and highway robberies. in
which the use Of firearms has played q
conspicuous part, have multiplied almost
beyond belief. Students Of the problem
ascribe the increase in lawlessness to the
pernicious influence of slum life, but as
many of the more youthful criminals
come from the so-called lower middle
Glass;" this theory cannot be accepted
without reserve.
Police authorities believe that the pur-
chase and carrying of weapons by boys
and young men and the reading Of SEN
sational newspapers lie at the bottom Of
the evil, and the concurrence in these
views has led Mr.. Frederick E. Coyne.
postmaster at Chicago, to recommend
the control Of the manufacture and sale
of deadly weapons by the national gov
eminent.
much space" writes Mr. Coyne, has
been given in the columns of the papers
to the reckless disregard for human lives
as the result of the promiscuous sale
and use of firearms, particularly, the
magazine revolver.
''The thought has occurred to me that
there ought to be federal supervision
over the manufacture, importation and
sale of firearms of every kind and de-
scription. The federal government,
through it's internal revenue laws, has
supervision over the manufacture and
sale of whisky, beer and cigars and all
manufactured tobaccos; 1t imposes tax
on all wholesale and retail dealers of
spirituous and malt liquors.; and also
has stringent laws against the importa-
ton of opium.
without desiring to open discussion
as to the propriety or justice Of the laws
referred to, simply want to call atten-
ton to the results and to show that the
laws of the federal government are more
respected and better enforced than those

LAWS TO BE REVISED
President Roosevelt Determined to
Save Public Lands.
Comnission Appointed to Determine
What Ground There II for Diver.
gcnce In Opinion Regarding
Repeal OF Statutes.

President Roosevelt has appointed .
commission, which includes Commits
sioner William A. Richards, Of the gen.
eral land Office, Mr.. F. H. Newell, chief
engineer of the United States reclama-
ton land service, and Prof. Clifford
Pinchot, to consider in detail all the land
laws of the United States and determine
what ground there is for the wide diver
gence of opinion concerning the repeal
of the present laws and the need OF
prompt consideration by the government
Of the questions involved.
This is regarded as an important step
in advance and the appointments have
been most heartily commended. The
powers Of the commission have been
made almost unlimited, as far as the
character of the investigation will per-
nit. It is the determination of the pres
ident to permit nothing to interfere with
careful and exhaustive investigation
of this question, which has been more
or less uppermost in the interior de-
partment for many years. The diversity
Of laws relating to the public lands and
the peculiar and distinct conditions In
different sections of the country, making
laws beneficial in some sections hard
ships in others, have caused an urgent
necessity for some codification of the
statutes now on the books and general
Encouragement to fit the conditions;
The commission has been requested to
report upon the effect and condition OF
all the present land laws, and especially
what changes in organization, laws, dis
posal and settlement would be the great
est benefit to the entire mass of present
and prospective land holders. The de-
sire of the president first is to effect the
largest practicable disposition Of pub
lie lands to actual settlers who will build
permanent homes on their holdings;
second, to secure in perpetuity the fullest
and most complete use of public lands,
and, third, to make such other sugges-
lions and recommendations as the ques-
lions that come up in the consideration
of these two problems may suggest. The
commission is authorized to avail itself

OF every means to obtain the information
it desires. 1t is charged with full and
free examination of all records of the
government and of all the executive de-
partments, especially the records and
papers of the department of justice, the
general land Office and it's branches, the
reclamation service and the bureau OF
forestry.
Commissioner Richards. who will be
chairman of the commission, is probably
one of the best equipped men In the
country to deal with questions relating
to the land laws. He Is one of the west
ern pioneers, and has had wide expe-
rience as an official of the government in
the execution and administration of the
land laws. AS surveyor general OF the
land ONCE for Wyoming and as state sur
veyor and land officer both in Wyoming,
Colorado and California, as governor OF
Wyoming and as assistant commissioner
and finally commissioner of the general
land Office, his experience is such that
he cannot but be one of the most val
liable men in the country for the posi-
ton. Gov Richards is at present In Call
fornia, attending at the bedside Of his
sick daughter. 1t is not probable that
he will be able to come east until after
the first of January.
Mr.. F. H. Newell, the second member
of the commission, has given many years
to the study and development of the fr-
rigation problem, and has been particu-
larly interested in the development and
cultivation of the vast tracts Of arid
lands in the western country. His
familiarity with the conditions as they
exist and of the land laws is unques-
toned, and his ability as an engineer
makes him an aid Of more than Or
binary value to his associates on the
board.
Prof. Pinchot, chief Of the bureau of
forestry of the department Of agricul-
ture, is a national authority on timber
and timber lands. He has been an in
valuable aid to the officers of the land
Office in the settlement of questions aris-
ing in the timber lands, and is familiar
with all the land laws and their effect.

II he lives until July 80 next John
Sharp Williams, Of Mississippi, the
democratic leader in the house Of repre-
sentatives, will be so. He is of slender
figure. and a triiie above the medium in
height. He has whole lot of Woody
hair and striking disregard of fash
ionable clothing.
From boyhood Mr.. Williams has been
hard student, and all his mature life
an Industrious reader of high class lit
erature. Although never of decidedly
robust constitution, he has not at any
time been regarded as an invalid. At
present he appears to be in good condi-
ton physically for the arduous duties
recently imposed upon him with unan-
unity by his party associates.
Mr.. Williams received thorough ed
ucational training. He studied at the
Kentucky military institute, and later
at the University of the South, at Sc
vance, Tenn, and at the University of
Virginia. Then he went abroad and at
tended Heidelberg university.
While at Heidelberg he mastered Ger
man sufficiently to converse tluently in
it. He also studied French in his youth,
and since leaving the universities he has
kept up his researches both in German
and in French. Since his selection for
the minority leadership, though, Mr..
Williams has been somewhat amused to
read that he is able to read and speak
half dozen languages.
He was born at Memphis, Tenn. His
mother died when he was quite young,
and his father, who was colonel Of Ten
nessee volunteers ir the confederate
army was killed at Shiloh. His home is
at Yazoo, Miss, where he has practiced
law and engaged in planting cotton. He
and his brother are joint owners of about
5000 acres of land in the Yazoo coun-
try. This property has not been divided
