remedy is easy. lhe only thing needed is such an
arousa1.
The ratio of murders to our national popu-
lation has increased from AT per million in 1881
to per million in 1903. 1t rose irregularly
in 1894, 1895 and 1896 to LA, I52 and ISL
respectively; but the ratio is steadily increasing.
In this respect are becoming steadily more law
less steadily inclined to take the law into
own hands No other country compares with ours
in this unfortunate respect, except Russia, and
Russia S political conditions, which the potential
of her crimes of violence remove her entirely
from the realm of fair comparison. One year of
Chicago's history showed one hundred and eighteen
hom1c1des. Paris, during the year had fifteen,
and London, five times as large had twenty. And
if it said that this sad difference against arises
from the fact that we people than either

The cause is that in those countries the law against
carrying weapons is properly enforced. Nor

of the immgrating foreigners among They all
come from countries in which, except Russia, crimes
of this kind less than one-tenth as common
as they are among ourselves.
The conditions which prevail in New-York at the
present time typical and will serve as well, but
better, to point the moral those of any other

crimes of violence which take place in Little Italy,,
Chinatown and the regions thereabout do not
reach the newspapers nor become of record.
They have way of settling their difficulties among
themselves and denying all knowledge of them to
the police.
When these two thousand young men, however,
range abroad to Coney Island and Harlem resorts;
when they get drunk on cheap whisky, and begin
to shoot, endangering the lives of respectable
and women in railway trains and popular resorts
they get into prison, frequently going to Sing Sing
The point which wish to impress is that they all
should go Jail for six months at least because they

Special legislation is needed on this whole SUBJ

pistol-carrying. 1t is in a way per-
nicious, much less deliberate intent, much less
resolution and action needed to knife than
to draw and shoot pistol. Moreover, the knife

d
of a misdemeanor and may be punished by years
Imprisonment and fine of five hundred dollars
both. The trouble is that persons convicted of
carrying concealed weapons let off with fines
varying from ten dollars to fifty dollars. The custo-
mary penalty does not take into consideration
the seriousness of the offense. If everyone
of the young 1aw-breakers mentioned knew
and believed that carrying a weapon would
insure him, If caught, year in prison, the custom
would cease in twenty-four hours If the Italians
of the East Side knew the thing, the knives
would disappear.
If in all the great cities of the country it
became known that a concert of action among
magistrates had been reached and that every
carrying a concealed weapon would receive
upon detection at least six months in jail the list
of homicides and crimes of violence for the coming
year might easily be reduced one-haf. And if a
little vigorous action which is not only fully jisti
fed but imperativey demanded by circumstances,
will prevent something like fifty thousand crimes
of violence in the coming year. what is the matter
with public opinion that leaves such a wrong
rghted? The penalty is fully justified, because
every man carrying a concealed weapon is already
potentially law-breaker is already declaratively
in opposition to the law of the land.
But more is needed. The supply of weapons
should be vigorously examined and controlled Our
State law provides that deadly weapons shall not
be sold to minors, but | have never heard of the
prosecution of dealer in weapons under this most
necessary and valuable provision of the penal code
This police control of the sale of weapons is an
invariabe provision in every foreign civilized state
and than that, is enforced in the rigorous
way possible.
An excellent law, worthy of the study of every
citizen interested in the subject is that of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Like the Others it permits the
issuance of permits by police judges to citizens
whose occupations make it apparently necessary
for their protection to carry weapons. But
special provision is added that every such citizen
before receiving such permit, shall file bond to
keep the peace. This lends weight and dignity to
the privilege, and makes one more other citizens
responsible for his conduct. A grave fault in all
large cities is the freedom and indiscriminate way
in which these permits are issued.
The chief value of the District of Columbia law,
however, is the check which it furnishes upon the
sale of weapons, and the way in which it enables
the police to trail the possessors. 1t amounts prac
tically to what is needed, police control All dealers
in deadly weapons required to keep register of
the name and residence of every purchaser with
full description of the weapon. They required
to make a report under OATH on or before the first
Tuesday of each month"; of each and every transaction
Failure to do this makes them liable to forfeiture
of their trade license, and in addition to fine of

attention and arrest. But everyone of
these foreigners should be deprived of
his knife, and everyone of these young men
of his pistol. There is not the slightest
question as to what ought to be done, for
such deprivation would be as definite and
distinct benefit to the weapon-carrier
as to the community. 1t is an axiom
in police circles that concealed weapon
is more dangerous, as a temptation to
crime, to the carrier than to anyone else.
Regarding the remedy, the existing laws
in all the States would go far to meet
the difficulty if they were intelligently
and severely enforced They provide that
any person who carries a concealed
weapon, without permit to do So is guilty

Senators by direct vote of the people has
been passed by the House four times,
only to be defeated in the Senate by the
votes of these august personages them

could be settled by submitting it to the
people for vote it would be overwhelm-

respects to the Senate in the following
emphatic manner: 1.-The Senate of the
United States is today an aristocratic,
