Perata will be asked to dig up the tons
of costly leather bound books which are

were ordered at outrageous prices, as
were the blanks.
What turn the investigation will take

Chairman John Mitchell said recently
he had been a member Of the board of
supervisors for eight years. and II there
was any graft in the county he had
failed to detect 1t.
The novelty Of the first stock taking

and he can make his way past the hose

Of the furnace oil fed heating plant
which required so many engineers to
operate last summer when it was never

what is stored in the basement. The

BAN ON TOY PISTOLS.

The mayor of New Orleans has TAX
en- an advance step and has ordered
that no toy pistols shall be sold in
that city. The States, commenting
on this move, says:
Just why it is that to the average
boy the attractiveness of a toy in
creases in direct proportion to the ele-
ment of danger it represents has never
been authoritatively explained. 1t is
true, nevertheless, that the rule among
boys is that danger adds to the at
Effectiveness of plaything, and as the
capacity for wounding, manning or
producing violent death increases the
toy becomes positively fascinating.
These things are SO well known
that they ought to serve to put pa
rents on guard with reference to the
character of toys they present their
children to amuse themselves with.
In this case, however, the task of the
parent is made difficult by the fact
that dealers. for the sake of money
there may be in them, will keep such
articles in stock and thereby present
temptation 10 the children. When a
dealer takes out a license to do bust
ness he is accorded certain rights and
privileges by virtue of that license;
but he should remember that the en-
joyment of these privileges imposes
certain obligations to the public
which he must regard He has no
right to play upon the curiosity of the
average boy, and to cultivate his al
ready abnormal love of adventure by
putting death-dealing weapons in his
hands under the guise of playthings.
Only yesterday we were shown by
a parent to whose little son the wea-
pom had been sold, an alleged toy pis
toll which was veritable weapon of
death. And with this weapon in his
hand the small boy might innocenly
have taken the life of his playmate
even ouopIIiiIS tlit
nature of the weapon sold to him as
a harmless top. From this incident
We see where Mayor Behrman was
right when he ordered the suppress
sion of the sale of toy pistols. 1t is
to be hoped that the police will keep
a strict watch upon all shops likely to
deal in such weapons, and jail the
first shopkeeper caught offering them
for sale.
I'm very truth, the toy pistol, how
ever harmless the character of it may
be, is a sad plaything to place in the
hands of a boy, anyway The pistol
has served its purpose in civilization
and its present day usefulness is at
least matter of grave doubt We
believe there are more people de-
stroyed nowadays by the accidental
discharge of pistols while handling
them in living rooms than there are
people who have been effectively pro-
tected by them. The pistol is made
