THE CONCEALED WEAPON.

II Utah had a definite statute pro-
viding for the infliction of a heavy fine
and Imprisonment upon those who
carry concealed deadly weapons. a
good many worthy men who are in
their graves today would be alive. That
there is no statute under which the
penalties named can be imposed is
most surprising. Yet the fact remains.
A man. though he is known TO be
desperate ex-cOnvict, may be arrested
with a bloodstained revolver in his
pocket. with one chamber of the wea-
pom discharged. II may be known pos
itively to the police that he will use
his weapon in the commission of
crimes. And the only thing the police
fudge can do, under his Interpretation
of the statute, is to give him time in
which to leave the city.
Our statute merely provides that
anyone having upon his person dead
" weapon with intent 10 commit ali
assault is guilty of a misdemeanor. No
court can say positively that man
who carries a deadly weapon intends
10 commit an assault To say so would
be to attribute to the court superhu-
man knowledge. The inference, how
ever. is very strong. especially in the
case of a known criminal And the fact
Of the matter is that there should be
a definite statute in this state. as there
10 in every other state in the union,
prohibiting the carrying of concealed
deadly weapons
In Kentucky the lightest penalty that
can be inflicted for the offense is a
fine of SIS and ten days in jail. Note
the jail sentence. The court has no
option. He must impose the imprison-
ment as well as the fine. The result
Of that statute has been that the praC-
tice OF carrying pistols has become
practically obsolete in Kentucky, ex-
cept among the desperate criminal
classes. Other states have penalties
equally severe and some are much Sc
verer. There is a crusade along that
line in a few of the southern states
right now, with a view To preventing
the commission of crimes by negroes.
The wave of crime that has been
sweeping over some of the larger cities.
both north and south, has stirred the
authorities TO action. Some eastern
cities. Washington among them, have
ordinances licensing the sale of wea-
pons. That is, before a citizen is per-
mitted to purchase a weapon capable
Of being concealed he must secure a
license. And unless good character is
indisputably shown the license cannot
be procured. Dealers who sell weapons
10 unlicensed individuals are severely
punished.
Here any tough who wants to buy
revolver can purchase one. He can load
and slip il into his pocket and go out
prepared 60 commit murder The
Washington ordinance would not be
bad law for Salt Lake City To make
ii very hard for the tough TO buy re-
Voiver would produce almost as good
results as To lock him up in Jail when
he is caught carrying one In either
case life and property would be safer
and the community would be better

At a mems cafe one night young
Americana barber-fell in with an Eng
lishman. The latter was berating the
Yankees for doing all manner of business
in their shops and not following the bet
ter English plan of sticking to one branch.
The next day he staggered into the
barber shop to be shaved. The barber
gave his face an extra good scraping and
left him, at the same time seating him

The Englishman kept quiet for a few
minutes. when. seeing his attendant read

GROSS FRAUDS IN SALE
 OF TEXAS PUBLIC LANDS

SAN ANTONlO, Texas, Feb. L. State Land Commissioner John J.
 Terrell announces that he has d1s- covered gross fraud in the sale of public lands of Texas, and declares that he will prosecute the offenders who number some of the prominent men of the state It will be reTnem- bered that when Texas was admitted to the union, she reserved her public lands as an endowment for a public free school system. This princely domain, amounting after many sales to between thirty and forty million acres had at the last report a value of S42,S17, ,T30.53 The interest on this great sum makes taxation for school purposes exceedingly low in this state, and at the same time has guar anteed money to carry on public edu- cation on a most extensive scale.
 For the sake of state development. a policy of selling these school lands and investing the proceeds in. ap- proved bonds has been pursued. The law provides that the land must be sold to actual settlers, who shall live. on the land for three years and put on it in this time $500 worth of i'm provements. Deferred payments at a low rate of interest are also allowed for twenty years Or more. Commits. sioner Terrell says he has discoEereds that dummy" settlers have been put on the land, the title standing in their name temporarily, and that the i'm provements' consist of fiimsy Iean-to or stacks of rocks.
 Since it was announced that the commissioner would prosecute such number of purchasers are said to have called at the land office at Austin and surrendered their ti- ties, urging the commissioner to sIet the matter drop" Texas is Immense ly proud of it's unsurpassed public school system, and is much stirred up at the effort to defraud present and future generations of funds made sacred to the cause of education bv the founders of this state. Public sen timent will doubtless make juries far from lenient with offenders of this kind
