The inc. easing number OF murders ia
this country has caused lsw-sbiding
people in many cities to suggest that
some drastic measures should be taken 10
prevent irresponsible people from carry
ing concealed weapons. The New YORK
Tribune in commenting upon the IN
crossing number of assassinations says
The laxity of our system of regule-
ting the sails of murderous weapons is
again illustrated by tragedy IN wnicD
3 woman, armed with two or three pistols,
invaded a restaurant, shot a man seated
>eb.re and then killed herself. II Wouio
he interesting to know where she bought
che weapons and whether she had any
LEGAL permission TO carry them. we
make q pretence OF discoursging the car
ryipV of concealed weapons, ana Wnen
aome yengelnl criminal kills a policeman
~ tro much indignation is expressed
and snoradic efforts are made to arrest
and nunish violators Of the concealed
we.n6n law But our whole practice Is
slinsbod and superficial. The few IN
digidusls who have any good reason ior
goinp armed eau EASILY obtain permits
aid be held responsible for the use tney
make Of their weapons. But lne vas vas
majority who carry pistols 90 60 covert !,
~ and with the well formed purposes o.
nsIn0 them either for criminal purposes
of under stress Of terror or excitement
Thay form an element highly dangerous
TO peace and good order. What is mosl
needed to put limitstOn on crimes o.
violence is. perhaps, strict supervision
of the sale Of pistols, the purchaser be-
sng obliged TO show permit from tne
authorities before getting his weapon
This would be check on the too easy
distribution Of arms and would comPel
dealers to .e more careful about putting
deadly weapons in hands unht 10 USE
them.
The above Is equally applicable tt
Alexandria. A drunken negro was ar
rested in this city last Sunday and "her
searched was found to be armed with
revolver, every chamber Of which wal
loaded. Under our lax laws any person
who has the necessary wherewithsl car
purchase a pistol or dirk. A Law
should be framed as quickly as possible
providing a severe penalty on any dealer
who cells such weapons to any person
who cannot exhibit permit to 90 armed

PosTM AsTER GENERAL MEYER on
Thursday summed up what he hopes to
accomplish if bis parceis post scheme
goes into effect. He said:
If the parcels posts were established
ON the 3S, 1000 rural routes throughout
the country for the delivery of parcels
originating on these routes and for de-
livery within their territory, and If each
rurai free delivery carrier carried but
three packages of eleven pounds each on
every trip, the entire postal deficit,
which in 1907 was So, 65S, 2S2, would be
wiped out.
The outrageous charges made BY the
express companies and the poor service
they render the psoPle will eventually
result of the establishment of aparcels
