CAN THE PISTOL FIEND BE SUP
PRESSED?

A negro charged with carrying
pistol pleaded guilty in the criminal
district court and Judge Gillaspie
fined him 500 and sentenced him
to Imprisonment for thirty days. 1t
seems to the Post that IL the officers
would exert themselves to detect and
arrest those who violate the pistol
law and similar punishment were
melted out to them it would not be
long before pistol-toting would be-
come unpopular in Texas
1t is safe to say that pistol-toting
is more prevalent now than ever be-
fore. not only in Texas, but through
out the entire country. The embat-
tied hip pocket is in vogue every
where and it is counting it's victims
by the hundreds and thousands.
In the south, it is rather the rule
than the exception that negroes go
armed. The number of tragedies in
which negroes take part increase day
by day, and the officers and courts
seem unable to suppress the prac
tice. OF course, the courts can do
nothing unless the officers do their
duty and the officers are not apt to
detect the guilty unless they make
extraordinary efforts to do so.
But the negroes are by no means
the only offenders in this respect
White men go about the streets
armed by hundreds, and the fact is
shown by the number of shooting
affrays that occur almost daily
Nothing the officers could do would
improve the conditions in Houston
and Texas as rounding up the pistol
toters, white and black, and hale
them before the court to receive the
utmost penalties of the law
The law prohibiting the sale of
pistols through the medium of the
gross receipts tax law has utterly
failed. There are more pistols in the
possession of the people than ever
before, and a purchaser can supply
himself almost at a days notice. The
| most effectual law is that which pre-
scribes fine and Imprisonment, but
that is worthless unless it be enforc-
ed.
1t ought not to be difficult for
the police and sheriffs to pick out
the pistol carriers. Generally speak
ing, they are the loungers and idlers
of both races who are most in evil
dence at night The providers are al
most sure to be armed. If every city
were to employ fewgood detect
ives for the purpose of apprehend-
ing armed men, the courts could be
kept busy for awhile inflicting pen
alties upon them that would be very
apt to cure them of the dangerous
habit.
! The law might with good results
include not only the penalties al
ready provided, but the confiscation
| of every weapon illegally carried.
/ But all reforms along this line must
start with the officers. These must
search out armed men and bring
1 them before the courts, and, per-
haps, after awhile this form of law
lessness could be greatly diminish
ed if not entirely suppressed

ADVERTISE.

Prof. Woodrow Wilson, historian,
economist and capable head of
princeton University. yesterday tod
the bankers assembled at Denver
that they should advertise. In speak
ing of this matter to that conser-
vative class, Prof Wilson by infer
ence told business of whatever type
that the way TO success is through
the channels of publicity
Time was, said Professor Will
son, when the banks never adyer-
tised, never condescended to solicit
business. Now they eargerly seek it
in small pieces as well as big. The
banks in fact and in spirit are at
the service of every man to the limit
of his trustworthiness and his credit.
How capital is to draw near to the
people is the great and pressing
question"
Advertising of the right sort
the intelligent. persistent sort-with
merit in the article offered, whether
it be banking facilities or rubber
boots, matches or mercerized cotton,
silk or sole leather, will bring re-
suits. Advertising, like the news
paper and the telegraph, brings the
people OF the world closer together
Professor Wilson sounds an old note
in new way. The source of the sug-
geston, too, is especially valuable.

SCARED ABOUT NEW YORK,

Walter Wellman wires from New
York to the Chicago Record-Herald
as follows: Having made extensive
feeling here in New York | deem it
my duty TO point out that there is
nothing sure about the verdict of
New York, doubt does exist The
well nigh de els We thirty-nine cleo
toral votes of the state are yet to be
fought for. There are elements which
threaten unpleasant surprises for
those who have settled down into
the comfortable belief that the state
is safe and sure. II is impossible to
study the conditions now existing
here without coming to the conclus-
ion that their net effect is to help the
democrats. If we compare the Bryan
of 1896 and 1900 with the Bryan of
today in the opinions of the people
of New York he has gained tremen-
dously. Evidence of this is found in
the well known Indifference of bank
ing and commercial men to the out
come of the present election Those
who are republicans are as rule
against Bryan, but not savagely.
They no longer look upon his posi-
bic election as a fore-runner of the
national disaster They are not
spending money to defeat him. Many
business men who in the Bryan cam
paigns of the past have worked en-
ergstically for the republican ticket

ton day or vote for Bryan himself"

Finally it reached point where he be-

out letting the pair know he had over
heard them and he felt that it was hard

These frequently require scrubbing before

It is better not to use cloths for wiping

that the better plan is to rinse the glasses
