IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Enforce the Moral Law.

We can hardly hope to suppress the carrying of concealed weapons, especial ly pistols, as long as white men are to be found with them,n said Judge John C.. Carmichael yesterday in discussing the subject. In his great work on liberty, John Stuart NH says that in England the weight of the moral law weighs more heavily upon the people than the crim- inal law. and that's what we want to make our people feel-the weight of the moral law.
 What do you think would people in England say, or how would they regard man who walked around the city in midday with a Colts revolver stuck in his hip pocket? How would they treat a man who pulled out that revolver and tried to kill or did actually kill his fel- bowman? Not alone would the law pun ish him to the fullest extent, but even if he escaped the law public opinion would drive him out of the community as a bad or dangerous man.
 So long as white men carry concealed pistols, so long will negroes do so, be- cause they believe that the law cannot
  man to escape. But the punishment which the white man should be made to feel is the condemnation of every re- spectable citizen in the community. The weight of the moral law should be ln- voked in this and all other instances of crime, and the criminal will soon learn that 1t Is worse for him to offend society than to violate a statute which means the payment of a small fine
 I'm afraid our people don't understand the enormity of the crome of murder. When man points pistol at another and pulls the trigger he is morally guilty of murder, that he is not actually guilty is owing to the fact that merciful Providence saved him. In England a murderer is regarded with adherence; people fear him. The man who goes armed to commit murder is considered little better than the actual perpetrator."

 FAME.
 What is this praise
 That mortals seek
 And labor for
 With pallid cheek?
 But spoken words,
 Or printers ink,
 That tells the world
 What critics think!
 Why. in a day
 Iris all forgot
 And we are shelved,
 As like as not! A we'll known motor car has been called "terrestial streak of lightnining," thun- derbolt, no doubt, that often strikes the pedestrian. A wealthy Mexican with nothing else to do has decided to become, a lmatador and kill time by killing bulls. While T. w. Lawson of Boston man. aged to see the pope, there is no reason to believe that he unloaded any copper stock at the Vatican.
 REPENTING. He loved a maid
 And told her so. He was afraid
 She would say no. On yesterday
 He cried Gosh ding, I wish she'd said
 That very thing!' A Stoiy dpouI 1he "iiC III Russet' reminds one that the President himself is usually in hot water. Canned goods are winning back their lost laurels. If this is May she ought to be ashamed of herself. Bet you haven't picnicked yet?

christened the great vessels or the
smaller %gunboats. The committee In
charge Is anxious. however, to hear
from all eligibles. A meeting will be
called for some time this winter In

OF Senator James b.. Frazier and spon-

strike would be successfully financed
and Saturday admitting that the gen.

with having conducted the fight In 4
