THE DEADLY PISTOL.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, making
some suggestions to abolish the habit
OF carrying concealed weapons, says:
GIN view OF the increasing frequency
nof crime n suicide by the use OF the
pocket pistol it will hardly be disputed
that the time has come when the sale
OF firearms should be placed under an
effective legal supervision. The best,
~or rather, the only way to prevent the
abuse Of firearms is to subject the dis
frtbation of them to Nm appropriate
surveillance. It ought not to be possi-
BILE for nyon to secure q revolver by
payment of the price. A stranger IAN
lsnot go into a drug store and buy all the
arsenic or ~strychnine or prussic acid
o or corrosive sublimate he wants on
B merely rendering the money. Some OF
%these things are not to be had on any
consideration, while as to other the
must be satisfied rs to the in
tentions OF the would be purchaser. A
e revolver may 'be just az deadly as any
: poison and there seems to be no good
why its sale should not be sur
rounded by the same precautions"
There is considerable value In this
suggestion. AS a matter of fact. the
concealed weapon habit is more dam
geFous than the indiscriminate sale OF
poison; not only more dangerous 20 far
rs the killing and injury OF people are
concerned. but in creating and foster
Sing a contempt for Law and order.
In addition to safeguarding and re-
sstricting the sale of concealed weapons.
1t is important that the ''pistol toter''
should be treated as a felon, and that
punishment should be inflicted
upon him, regardless of his standing
lin the community.
