Respecting Law at Fort Wayne.

Owing to the bitter fight by E.
A. K. Hackett, editor of the Fl.
Wayne Sentinel, for the enforcement
of the law, Mayor Hosey has sent
word to saloon men that they must
close their doors at IL p m. sharp
Mr.. Hackett through the columns OF
the Fl. Wayne Sentinel, the Demo-
cratic evening organ, had much to
do in the election of Mayor Hosey,
by exploiting Hosey's promise to
enforce the law, and since then he
has vehemently insisted that the
promise be kept, although the mayor
has denied that the pledge was made.
1t remains to be seen what will be
done toward enforcing the Sunday
law.

The HanIy Meeting.

No attempt at an ovation or pc-
litical rally was made on the occa-
sion Of Governor Han1y's coming 70
Plymouth. Two or three men who
are only conspicuous on ordinary oc-
casions for their lack of ability gen.
orally and for what they do not know
about politics and state affairs, of
course tried to show off on this oc-
casion, but this is always expected
and the governor accepted it as a
matter of course.
The day was the coolest of the
present season and was some what
stormy, consequently the attendance
from the surrounding country was
not large, but quite number came
in on the train from the south.
On account of'the stormy weather
the meeting was held in the opera
house which was filled to its utmost
capacity, as many Democrats as Re-
publicans being present.
Of course men of all parties want
to hear Indiana's governor and this
is as it should be-
The people recognize that Hanly
has had "a hard row to hoe" a great
deal of the time and while he has
not yet accomplished all that ought
to be done he has done much to
make the state better. and to secure
honesty and economy in the admin
istration of public Offices, state,
county and municipal
One of the things for which the
people give him credit was his firm
stand against railway passes for Of
hciaIs when four-fifths of the MEM
bers of his own party in the legislat
ure were clamoring for passes.
Governor Hanly began his speech
at ten minutes past two and his ear
nestness and directness in presenting
the truth captivated his audience and
he held their attention as only a few
men can.
His report of the states business,
what had been done and what ought
to be done to reform the abuses that
have grown up elected applause. In
diana is proud of many of its COVER
nors, in fact almost all of those who
have filled the position. The state
has an enviable reputation in this re-
spect and all felt that our present
governor measures up with the best
of them
There are many reforms necessary
and much work for the next legis-
lature outlined in the governors
speech. The two-cent passenger rail-
road rate is one of these, better pri-
vate banking law is another It is
intolerablc that private banks should
be allowed to go their way as some
are doing. The question of interest
on the public funds, the enforcement
of the laws on the statute books; the
punishment of rascals and default
ers; the preservation of the morals
of the young; a renovation of the
whole insurance system. purging
of the free pass corruption; no pol
itics in state institutions, purer pol
itics and honesty in politics as in
other things, were all discussed as
only Governor Hanly can discuss
them.
While it was not large political
gathering, the speech was heard by
several hundred people and did more
good than many political speeches
that have been heard by larger an
diences in this city.

1t is not out of place to call at
tention to the fact that all antitrust
legislation which has taken place in
congress has eminated from the Re
publican party. Secretary Shaw in
his speech at Laporte called the
public's attention to this fact. The
Sherman antitrust law, the Cullom
interstate commerce law, the Elkins
antitrust law, the Hepburn rate bill,
are all devices and enactments of the
Republican party. These laws have
all been efficacious in suppressing the
illegal practices of trusts.

An Inadequate Law.

Indiana is one of the States that
make no provision for Imprisonment
for carrying concealed weapons, and
has no regulation for the sale oil
deadly weapons except to minors
The general trend of recent legisla-
ton is to heavier penalties for this
offense and to add Imprisonment
where it was not formerly provided
Mississippi, in 1898, fixed the pun
shment for carrying concealed weap-
ons at a maximum of 500 fine and
three months Imprisonment. Flor.
ida, by act of 1901, made the pun
ishment 500 to $500 fine and three
to six months imprisonment. This
law also made carrying concealed
weapons breach of the peace" and
authorized arrest without warrant
Permits to carry weapons may be
issued by the county commissioners
but not to minors or to persons vhu
are not of good moral character"
In 1902 Louisiana made the MAXI
mum punishment $500 fine and three
months Imprisonment. In the fol-
lowing year Montana fixed the pun
ishment at $500 fine and thirty days
imprisonment. It's law provides for
obtaining permit from the district
Judge.
South Carolina adopted a unique
law in 1908, making it unlawful to
carry, manufacture, sell or offer for
sale "any pistol less than twenty in
ches long and three pounds in
weight" The penalty that may be
inflicted for violating this provision
is fine of 81 900 and Imprisonment
for two years.
In 1903 Nebraska made the punish
ment fixing the maximum penalty at
81 900 fine and three months impris-
onment Kansas made the same pro-
vision in the same year The Mon
tana law of 1903 provides for 5000
fine and thirty days Imprisonment
In 1904 Maryland adopted strong
av, fixing the maximum penalty at
81 900 fine and two years imprison-
ment By this law the court was au-
thorized to pass on the reasonable
ness" of the armament, but if it was
not for '.justihable self-protection,
and for the deliberate purpose to in
f1ict grevious and unlawful injury
the highest penalty is required.
In 1905 Texas made the penalty
5000 fine and twelve months impris-
onment. In the same year New Jer-
soy fixed it at 5000 fine and two
years imprisonment. In the same
year New York reached the high
mark by making the offense felony
which is punishable by $1,000 fine
and seven years imprisonment.
In Indiana a prison sentence is
provided for third conviction for
carrying concealed weapons, and for
drawing weapons, but otherwise
there is no Imprisonment except for
serving out fine, as in case of other
fines AS general proposition the
law imposing a fine is not enforced
If the State had law providing
for imprisonment, and giving the
courts some discretionary power, as
in Maryland, it would probably serve
the valuable purpose of removing the
opportunity to use dangerous weap-
ons from any dangerous characters.
For the protection of the public il
would be we'll if desperadoes and
criminals could be sent up for a sub
stantial term whenever they are
found armed.-Indianapolis Star.
