A Good Bill.

There is one bill pending in the

a law or not. will have the good
wishes of ninety-nine per cent. OF the
people. It is measure proposed by
Senator Johnson and provides jail
sentence for carrying concealed weap-
ons, upos the first conviction, aud a
second offense is a felony which
means a term in the penitentiary.
One of the crying evils of the day,
and perhaps the most conductive of all
to murder and naming. is the use

Pure Food Laws.

In regard to pure food laws, ii
would seem that a more equitable
plan than requiring food and medicine
manufacturers to label their bottles
with formula, particularly when the
preparation is secret. would be to
have them furnish the formula to
proper State and national authorities.
In the event of its being shown that
the preparation was deleterious to
health or fraud, it could be sup
pressed; otherwise 1t could be sold
without its manufacturer being liable
to the competition. of disreputable
rivals who might choose to initiate
his product, aud be enabled TO do so
by the printed formula on the bottle.
Under this system the public manufac.
turer would also be protected in his
