Prison for Gun Carriers.
From the Newark News.

\ rom tue NeWark NeNS
Judge Scott of Paterson was one of the
first of the magistrates in this state tO
advocate an increase Of the statutory pen
atty for carrying concealed weapons, and
when, in 1909, the law was amended and
the court was empowered to impose a fine
of 5000 or a sentence of two years hard
labor in prison. both, he was among
the first to deal with gun carriers accord
ing to the new code. All the other judges
in the state were quick to take advanta &c
of the enlarged discretion thus given
them to stamp out the vice Of carrying
concealed weapons
Yet the courts have, to degree, been
lenient. Very few Of those convicted OF
the unlawful practice have been sent to
prison. The desire seems to have been to
allow people to get acquainted with the
law and voluntarily to lay aside their
weapons, but it has not had the desired
effect. Judge Scott, for example, has found
it necessary. in view of the number Of re-
volver and stiletto carriers brought before
him. to formally announce that his leni-
ency had been exhausted and that here
after any such armed person brought be-
fore him would be sent to state prison.

The National Guard.
-om the Brooklyn Eagle.


Every state upon which the War Depart
ment has recently made requests for CO.
operation has responded favOrably, except
New York and Delaware. We do not know
and do not especially care to know the rea-
sons why the latter declined. But We are
bound to say that the reasons attributed to
the 7th and 18th regiments here are not
such as should raise them in popular es-
teem If the National Guard Is to develop
into something more than a mere engine
for the suppression of riots, its officers
should waive some of the punctiliousness
with which they are now obviously afflicted
and affecting others.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Odd Fellowship.

We frequently see the assertion that Odd Fellowship is mot re- ligious" This is all right, if by Ire ligious" Is meant sectarian, but to one who broadly defines the word religion the statement that Odd Fellowship is not religious is open to dispute.
 The Apostle James thus defines re- ligion: Pure religion and undetiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their afliictions and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
 In another chapter this same writer says: "lf a brother or sister be naked or destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled: notwithstand- Ing ye give chem not those things which are needful to the body, what doth 1t proiit?"
 One might almost accuse James of quoting the ritual, had not the apostle lived before Odd Fellowship was born, and surely, if James is correct in his definition of religion, then Odd Eel lowship is religious.
 After all, a belief in the Fatherhood of God is the very substance of re- ligion, and it is also the base upon which Odd Fellowship rests.
 Odd Fellowship is brotherhood built upon the recognition of Gods Fatherhood. It does not atliiate with any system, sect or creed, hence it is In no sense sectarian, but it does em- brace those great truths which are common to all systems of faith and to this extent it is religious. Odd Eel iowship is so engaged in practical ben evolence that it may be regarded as religion turned earthward.
 Odd Fellowship is not religion, for it is only a part of religion. but it is religious because iu is part of re- ligion. R. S. STEVENS.

In he midst of the most prosper

Pie are suddenly confronted with a
financial crisis for which the country

cause of the condition? He most
certainly is not. but he is the reveal
er of the cause. He, himself, has
answered your inquiry-he has SIM

the real causes of the besetting evil
of their business world.

germs of our financial disease.
