WHAT PROMINENT PEOPLE SA YABOUT
 REGULA TING THE TRAFFIC ZN PISTOLS

in his house to hi a burglar over the head with. A man couldn't conceal a shot gun on his person either. The off eers will have to have pistols, but the carrying of pistols by plain, ordinary citi- zens Is a dirty, cowardly habit and should be broken up as quickly as possible"
 pr. Duncan Calls it Barbarsm.
 The Rev. Dr. James A. Duncan gave the following as his opinion on the question:
 "The practice of carrying concealed weapons is not only cowardly act but is downright barbarism. There is no doubt but every well thinking person wants it stopped, and l think a law should be passed making it @ criminal offense to either sell or carry a pistol. It should be a rock pile offense, too. A man who serves 60 or more days at breaking rock is going to be careful not to be sent there again. Of course We have to except the police and militia. can't imagine why any man in Birming- ham has need of going where he will have need of carrying a pistol. l have lived in several parts of the country and have never had to carry a pistol, and can't see why the same rule can't apply 10 everyone else in Birmingham. I am glad 10 see this campaign. Undoubtedly Birmingham is heavily cursed with fol- lowers of this habit and it is absolutely necessary for the moral welfare of the town that the curse be removed. as quick ly as possible
 pr. Dickinson Thinks it CowardIy.
 When asked as to what he thought about pistol toting," the Rev. pr. J. A. Dickinson said:
 T think the carrying of a pistol is the most cowardly, dirtiest and most bar
 
 is afflicted. The constitution of the United States won't allow of the passing of law stopping a man from carrying firearms, but we can regulate the habit to death. It should be unlawful to sell pistol or to carry one except with policemen and soldiers. 1 think every person owning shotgun should also be made to pay heavy license. Everybody is right with The Age-Herald on this subject and l hope to see such law en- acted in very short while"
 pr. Moore Wants Registration.
 The Rev. pr. Allen R. Moore also ap- proves of the movement and said:
 'fhe meanest thing a man can do is to carry concealed weapon. It should be stopped, as well as the selling of ps- tols. There should also be a system of registration in regard to people owning shotguns and other large firearms. The i public should know who has a gun. Such law is badly needed here and it has come to a point where the people should demand that it be passed. l think ev- cry well thinking person is with The Age-H Herald in the movement. Let us hope that it meets with success" , pr. Steele Wants Severe Punishment. The following are Dr. Steele's senti- ments.
 We should get rid of the pistol toter'' Just as soon as possible The 1egisla- ture and city council should make it a crime to either sell or carry a concealed weapon, and the punishment should be a severe one. The carrying of concealed weapon is the cause of an enormous amount of crime and it should not be al lowed. We are right with The Age-Herald in this and hope to see it carried to sue cess"

 "Something should be done to prevent 'pistol-otlng.'
