Useless and Ridiculous Law.

Sheriff John P. Galloway has given
notice to people who have given
bonds and obtained licenses TO keep
and carry pistols that said licenses
do not give them the right to carry
concealed weapons. and that II they
carry pistols out OF si2nt they are rs
liable to arrest and punishment as
unlicensed vioiatOrS Of the law. Nh
Galloway is entirely right il the nat
ter II is probable that no more use
less and ridiculous law has been
passed by the Florida legislature than
the one relating 10 pistol licenses. 1t
is not likely that il has deferred any
man from carrying a pistol, and 1t
mas certainly given many who have
obtained licenses the idea that they
had the right 10 terrOriZe their IN
licensed neighbors. Quite often, men
who have been arrested by the police
of the various Florida cities for dis
playing pistols on little or no prOVOca-
ton have been released without pun
islment because they had taken out
licenses. There is no law on the
statute books 50 unevenly ODeyed )
the one against carrying concealed
weapons 1t has very seldom pre-
vented any bad man from carrying a
pistol and ii has often put good cltl-
zen at the mercy of some Iuffial- An
unarmed man is far safer N a rough
western community. where it is COP
sidered a breach of etiquette TO draw a
gun on a man who has none, than in
many a center of civilization, where
every one is supposed to be protected

The eXigencies of presidential cam
paigns in this country demand of the
great American editor that he shall
predict with entire confidence on the
day before election and calmly explain
with equal confidence on the day after
why it didn't come his way He rises
nObly and with unruffled serenity To
both occasions, and just now on the
democratic side OF the house he is
furnishing such prodigious quantities
of convincing arguments and fascinat-
ing explanations that We stand amazed
at the criminal perverseness and ap-
palling stupidity. to say nothing OF
the bad taste, of the majority of the
American electorate as shown in the
work of last Tuesday. You can't
down the great American editor, eSpe-
cially if he's a democrat. He would
emerge from a cataclysm and with
noble composure write a leading ar
ticle making it perfectly consistent
with his anti-cataclysm predictions.

Now that the election is over, if
the price of cotton goes up we may
be able to see some connection be-
tween the triumph of the republican
party and the return of prosperity;
but if it declines TO yield and stub
bornly stoys where it is we shall con-
tinue to suspect that the law Of sup
ply and demand still holds the staple
within its jurisdiction, and doesn't
care a continental who won, Taft or
Bryan If, however, the next republi-
can congress repeats the law of sup
ply and demand of course things may
be different.

Jacksonville has invited President
elect Taft to visit that city next April
as the guest of the city during the
session of the Prosperity Congress
called TO meet there then. Just about
that time the new president will be
perspiring and perhaps imprecating
under the pressure of a horde of Of
fee seekers trying to work him for
jobs and he would doubtless like 10 es-
cape them by a trip to Jacksonville.
But he can't dodge his responsibilities
and must stay at the pie counter ana
attend to business.

more room for speculation regarding

of the last session the Democrat,
leaders in the senate made no effort
to conceal their intention of "goine
after" that important legislative
body. and while their Republican
opponents met these taunts with a
smile. they have not been uncon-
cerned. They know that the present
Republican control may be reversed
by changes In comparatively few dis
tricts. They are awake to the fact
that even less disastrous revision
than took place in 1905 would cause
the change they fear. for Democrats
then captured 26 districts which had
been held by Republicans, whereas
only 20 reversals would now be ia

Democratic mnagers make no Sc

those they are doing their earnest
