1t Will be well to increase the penalty for the
unlicensed carrying of deadly weapons. and
then, if necessary to increase 1t again, until
the pernicious habit is stamped out There are
some men who ought. for essential purposes of
self-protectiOn, to be permitted to go armed.
Such men will havo no difficulty in satisfying
the proper authorities of their character and
intent. But nine out of ten of those who carry
pistols do so with at least pote&Aally lawless
purposes. They should be discouraged with
heavier fines, and, if fines will not serve, with
Imprisonment. Half the manslaughters occur
because of the opportunity for their commits
sion which this carrying of pistols and knives
affords. and the law may well take cognizance
OF such practical Indictment to crime.

The rumor that General Stoessel, who so gal

try that would so treat it's heroes would call
down upon it the condemnation of every country

CONSTITUTIONS LOG
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Records of Old Ironsides Found in Ancient House at
Bordentown, N. j., Where Her Commander Is
Said to Have Resided

From beneath a heap of rubbish and
debris In a weather-beaten old house in
Bcrdentown, n. j.. the log book of the
old frigate Constitution was recently
unearthed
The old book was covered with the
dust and cobwebs and the writing is
now faint. and at times indistinguish>
able, browns 1t is written In the hand of
Captain, afterwards Commodore, Charles
Stewart, and although every event from
Friday, December 81, 1913. when the ship
set sail from Boston. until Tuesday. May
10, lSlo, when she sailed into New York
harbor. is faithfully recorded in rninut-
est detail, at no place is there th,.
slightest mention Of any one of the crew
of the old frigate, from the cabin boy to
the commander?
History says that Captain Stewart
once lived in Bordentown, and the old
building in which the book was found Is
or such antique structure that it is not
hard TO imagine that the old mariner
once made his home there. The log was
found recently, when the building was
torn down to make way for q modern
hardware store, and so far as can be as
certafned, no one Is now alive who can
shed the slightest light on the manner
