veritabIe surplusage, a murderous lux
ury. The question In issue Is whether the
law can be effectively amended. whether the
system that The Star has advocated, Of re-
curing the procurement of q court license
before pistol can be bought, Is practicable.
1t has been suggested that the outlined
amendment would be unconstitutional.
There Is no force In that contention. The
Constitution declares that "a well-regulated
militia being necessary to the security of
free state. the right of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be infringed." It
Is no infringement of that right to declare
that a man shall not secretly arm himself
for murderous purpose. 1t Is no infringe
ment to declare further that certain spe-
officially named weapon, being of the kind
easily concealed and especially deadly In
personal ARRAY, shall not be promiscuously
sold. Indeed. the law already 'infringes''
the right to keep and bear arms to the
extent of prohibiting the secret carrying of
such weapons. If it is unconstitutional In
that, the point has never been established.
indeed 1t Is exceedingly doubtful If the high
est court would sustain the contention, in
view of the dictates of broad public poll
ICY and also in view of the freedom granted
to all people to bear arms of a kind that

cret menace to the safety of the commu-
nifty.
Major Sylvester suggests that ut would
not be possible to restrict the rights of mer-
chants by interposing a law forbidding
them to sell pistols save upon special court
warrant. This Is a personal dictum It does
not square with the established practice of
all civilized communities, which put ban
more or less prohibitive upon certain lines
OF trade. The state has, entirely within its
rights, wholly or partially restrained the
sale or liquor. poisons and high explosives.
II has In hundreds of ways restricted the
rights OF merchants. 1t has set I'D bounds
beyond which individual or corporate enter
prise must not go. If it so determines. as
necessary to its safety. 1t can today, by act
OF legislature. absolutely prohibit the man
ufacture of small arms. and 1t may be be-
heVed that the courts would In the last lest
sustain the action as tending to conserve
the public security. without infringing the
constitutional right of the people to arm
themselves for their defence.

japan and America.

Secretary Taft has done Japan service
in contradicting by wire the story that In
the recent riots in that country produced
by the Portsmouth peace treaty antt-Amer-
lean sentiment was shown. 1t is good to lie
assured by one so competent to speak that
no such feeling exists In Japan, but that
our friendship is still highly priced, and
the Presidents course in bringing Russia
and Japan together greatly appreciated.
We may hope. too, that when the Japanese
people-even the most discontinued Of them
are advised Of American feeling as to
Jspan's remuneration of indemnity the ct
feet Will be to bring the treaty there into
greater favor. Much of the difficulty IT
would seem has grown out of a lack of I'M
Outstanding in Japan of just what was &C.
complished at Portsmouth and of how
Japan's part was applauded by her best
friends among the nations.

The Cars Second Call for Peace.

Although It was quite the proper thing
for President Roosevelt to defer to the En-
peIor OF Russia in the matter of the call
ing of a second International peace con-
fererce at The Hague. probably more faith
would be placed IN the efficacy of the
project had another ruler been the mover
In the premises. The car as q peacemaker
is pretty we'll discredited. He was not i'm
plicitly trusted by the powers In the case
of the first call to a conference at The
Hague. Had he desired to set a wholesome
example before the world he could have
executed a master stroke by reducing his
own armament and ceasing his far-eastern
aegressions. which were certain sooner or
later to precipitate war. But even while his
ambassadors were preaching universal peace
a. The Hague his generals were maneuver-
ing for military advantage In Manchuria,
and HIS viceroy Alexiefr. was urging on the
preparations for the inevitable struggle with
Japan.
The car now comes into the case sec
ond time with his hands dripping red. He
has by his policies, lack OF policies,
caused the death of tens of thousands of his
own and other peoples. He has reduced his
own power to a second class. When he call
Ell the first conference Russia was feared
by all the world-save Japan. His vast
armies and his theoretically formidable
fleets gave him backing that made
thea trical setting for his peace play. Now
he stands forth virtually stripped OF mill
tary power. disarmed. indeed by the re-
mo-seless efficiency of the Japanese and not
by grace of his own Accomplishments.
AS well might the Juvenile Alfonso Of
Spain have called for a peace conference
after the war with the United States. II
am whipped and my armies and navies are
gone. Cut yourselves down to my level.
Get in my class. Let us have peace" This
might be his cry. more frank, more honest,
possibly more effective than any other. Far
better. indeed, in the peace role would
stand Francis Joseph of Austria, fast near
Ing physical and political dissolution. The
world might pause to heed seriously the
warnings of the venerable monarch of
Vienna. He has no game to play, no spe-
cial interests to protect Even Oscar of
Sweden, stripped of half of his kingdom,
would serve as a more eloquent advocate
of peace, or Leopold of Belgium, or the
grandfather of Europe. Christian of Den
mark But Methodist The occasion Is not
suitable for mirth, but it is almost enough
world
Still, 1t is the prerogative of the Russian
emperor to issue this second call to The
Hague. 1t Is his own speciality. If he want
ed to do 1t only the commonest courtesy
demanded that he be given the opportunity
Yet it is to be deplored that If second
conference IS held 1t should not be or
ganized under more promising auspices.

said. But the American public does mt
promise to be convinced. II VIII not BE-
very much interested In the matter In any
event. It does not believe that the Presi-
dent said what he is reported to have said
and IT does not credit the assertion that
the Frenchman was received at Sycamore
Hill with any notion that hs would 60
forth and print an interview. NJ. Lagar-
diere might have been forgiven for not un-
defstanding the unwritten law that the
President is never to be interviewed for
publication. He might possibly, on q
pinch have been forgiven his indiscretion.
to say the least, Of obtaining audience un-
der false pretenses. But he will not be
forgiven his bumptious assertion that his
denial will serve any other purpose than
that of making him even more ridiculous
than he already appears.

An Appreciative Audience.

The circus doesn't come along IS often as
I'd like.
An fun Is somethin' as rule that's mighty
hard to strike.
But when Bill Jones comes courtfn'-welI,
simply want to say
The way my sister acts will beat circus
any day.
She shakes his hand away up high an says,
why. howdy dor
The same as If she didn't see him every
day or two.
An then he tries to anser back an chokes
an has to cough,
An I'm a-laughtn' fit to kill while sisters
shown off,
She talks bout books that wrote in French,
an he says; yes. indeed
A cook book is the only kind 1 ever saw
her read .-
Her face looks fine by baslight an you bet
wouldn't dare
To tell him bout the freckles that are hid
den somewhere there.
She plays on the piano; crosses hands; an
then she signs
An looks like she saw angel forms a-f1oat-
in from the skies.
She yells at me all day, but when Bill calls
her voice gifts sof'
An mushy like. It's simply great when
sisters shown Off
I wouldn't mind a bit to see her comm it 30
strong,
Provided she was only Jes' the same the
whole day long.
But when she's cross as tacks an tries to
act as sweet as pie,
1t strikes so humorous that I've got
to laugh or die.
An when he gently holds her hand I'm
tempted to let slip
The fact that she kin hit most hard enough
to sink a ship.
L know 1t amt the proper thing to sheer at
folks an scott,
But honest, boys. it's funny when my sis
ter's shown Off.
