PENALTY FOR CARRYING CON-
CEALED WEAPONS.
New York Ordinance Raises the
Pine TO $3.50 and Authorizes
Imprisonment.

An ordinance has been adopted
by the Board of Aldermen, of New
York City, empowering the City
Magistrates to assess g fne OF $3.50
on persons found carrying con-
cealed weapons. The former pen
atty was $40 and had little tenden-
cy, according to the police, toward
breaking up the practice
The new ordinance empowers
City Magistrates not only to i'm
pose the fine. but to commit the
carrier of heavier weapons for six
months. The ordinance gives the
Police Commissioner power to
issue permits for carrying conceal
ed weapons as at present.

Important that South and Central
American Republics Pay
their Debts.

The Presidents message, trans
hitting to the Senate the new Santo
Dominion Protocol. was read at
executive session. Not more than
six or seven Senators were present.
The leading feature of the message
was, that in order to maintain the
Monroe doctrine, it is necessary for
the United States to see that Just
claims contracted by South and
Central American republic, and
those of the West Indies should be
paid, and that therefore, il lie in
the interest of peace for this Gov
eminent to take over control of
revenues in Santo Domingo. The
Tle subject of the Monroe Doctrine
was discussed at some length, es-
pecially as regards relations of the
United States to the republics of
the South.
In protecting these republics,
and guaranteeing their territorial
integrity, it is said in the messrgs
to be necessary to see that Just
debts and obligations contracted
by these republics are paid.

Better to Prevent Than to Punish

Joseph Folk, the newly elected
Governor of Missouri, believes the
State can better serve the people
by preventing crime thad by pun
ishing it. In special message to
the Legislature he asks for the en-
actment of law to make the car
rying of firearms felony, punish
able by a fine or term in the pen
itentiary, the exact penalty to be
determined by the jury. If such a
statute is passed the Governor says
the State will be saved in criminal
costs not less than 500, 600 q

STATE PRESS AROUSED OVER
BREATHITT COUNTY INIOUITY
l1s srrr Down, JUDGE HAReIs.

Nv
The Democratic party of the
State demands that Judge Hargis
should resign his position as a
member of the State Central Com
mittee for the Tenth COMPRESSION
District.
One of his boasts in the past has
been his devotion to the Democrat
ic p ,rty, and he can now show that
devotion by resigning the position
he holds on the STATE Commute.
He could have shown it by not ask
ing for the position when the last
State Convention met, but he
didn't take that view. BY trades
Nndjcon. binations he succeeded in
getting the support of every dele
CATION from the Tenth District ex-
cept the one from Clark county.
Ii ne had then placed the partY's
interest above his own he would
not have sought "vindication"
which he and his friends then
knew he could get only at the price
of great injury to the party he
claims to love so we'll.
Common decency now demands
that he shall retire from the Com
mittee, but a great many people in
Kentucky sss;ssoisy believe that he is beyond
the pale of common decency.
We are not acquainted with the
party law. and therefore do not
know whether or not it is within
the power of the Committee to re-
move Judge Hargis, but if the
power exists the Committee owes
1t 20 the party to exercise it
promptly.
Representing One-sixth Of the
Democrats OF the Tenth District,
we protest against Judge Hargis
being upon this Committee.-Win

A LITTLE CLEANING UP.

The sooner the Democratic party
of Kentucky manages to get rid of
Judge Hargis, of Breathitt county,
as a member of the State Commit
tee the be er it will be for the
party of the whole State. If
Hargis has not enough charges
against him, proven or unproven,
to disqualify him for holding the
position he now holds, we are at
loss to know what he could do to
further disgrace HIM with his
party. Democracy needs a little
cleaning up. We had better do it
ourselves tnan let the Republicans
do it for us. If Hargis should be
sent to the penitentiary for life, or
should be hung. the supposition
Is that there would be some one
elected in his place, especially il
tile latter fate should overtake him.

THE ovERwoRKED CAPIAs

To those living in 8 country where it is regarded as tyranny to imprison a man for debt, our Canadian cousins across the border seem to permit undue license to the capias-tssuing officer. There are times when the capiaS serves 8 good purpose. It will not be couteuded that it is not within the pro vince of a government to hold a man up who is attempting to escape its jur- isdiction with the purpose in view Of defrauding creditors. In fact to do so is a duty it owes to it's citizens. But when a man is held mp speedy inqui- " should be made into the case, and when it develops that his departure from the country is simply iu the course of his business, his creditor should not be permitted to make use of his pertous position to force money out of him or friends who do not desire that he spend his time in jail. The capias is intended for the swindler and not to take the place of the regular statutes for the regulation of debt col lections.
 Further, when it shall appear that a man has not the money with which to pay his debts he should not be impris- oued for that fact.

ROAST MOOT
Travelling Public COndem
 Customs LittlenesS

The complaintso of people crossing the line from Alaska into Canada over the White Pass because of the pettiness ot the policy pursued by the Canadian GUS toms officer at the summit are becoming numerous. Some people go so far as to say they will not go into the interior this way any more, but that they will go overland from Valdez or Seward or up the Yukon. These threaLs9i are causing some anxiety to business men and transportation men are interested in the Upper Yukon where the greater population and the greater producing mines are now located.
 The Canadian customs officer at the Summit is named John Moot but 1t Is claimed in his behalf that be IS but following the directions of his superior, Collector E. s. :Busby, of the Yukon, who has told him, it Is said, to collect duty upon absolutely everything no matter what 1t is, that is taken across the line.
 This order has been construed by Mir. Moot to include 8 sandwich lunch man might have in his overcost pocket. One faithful, hard working miner who has d,voted six or seven years to the devel- opment of 8 mine in Canada was assessed for the tariff duty On pair of shoes which he had ou his feet will still gave some evidence of the new.
 A woman living on the Canadian side of the line, 75 miles or more away from a Canadian drug store, sent to Skagway for some medicine. She re- ceived it iu a small phial and this was levied upon in the name of the great Dominion for five cents.
 A woman, the wife of a man who has been doing business in Canads for many years and who has contributed thou sands on thousands in duties and taxes to the government, was asked to pay duty on four or five oranges (which she had for 8 lurch. The oranges had been given to her. When asked to pay duty duty upon them she politely handed them over to Mir. Moot and asked him to present then to the Crown with her compliments.
 A man in the train service was com peIled to pay five cents, it is said, for a small bottle of liniment he was using for 8 bruise.
 A woman was compelled to pay 10 cents the other day on few sandwiches she was taking along as a lunch. This exac.ion served as the text for a charc- teris,ic article by E J. White, the Stroller" of the Whitehorse Star, who asks the minister of finance to authorize a discrimination in the tariff on a lunch of caviar sandwiches and one of left over slapjacks.
 Two or three dozen other instances of microscopic transactions of the class of these cited have been collected but space fOrbids mentioning them now, It is said that men have been taxed upon cigars in their vests and chewing ,obaccO in their trousers. etc. etc.
