Little interest seems to be mani
tested in the approaching town cleo
tion, and yet it is pretty important
matter, involving, as it doas. the Sc
lection of all the men who are to be
entrusted with the responsibility OF
town government during the next two
years. All the present elective otti
GERS are among the towns best known
citizens and taxpayers and there are
many who would be glad to see all of
them reelected, if they can be in
duced to serve. Theirs is not an
easy task and whoever undertakes 1t
must expect more or less criticism =
probably more than he deserves, for
mo might nor greatness in mortal
ity can censnre 'scape."

 Character of Arms.
 On another point Justice Mcclellan
 section 2s is silent in respect of the character of arms that may be borne in defense of self and State. Whether the arms shall De of one type or of anoth- CT is not stipulated In the clause; whether the arms shall be of one length or of another Is not defined. such being the case, and It being fur ther right of the Legislature to reg. uiate the right to bear arms. the guar antee or the right to bear arms cannot. we think, be read to forbid legislation touching the character Of the pistol borne unless further restriction on Legislation anent the subject Is inter- polated in the section.
 s Obviously, we think, the section contemplates that the Legislature shall determine. so long as the right itself Is not destroyed. what are arms; aud the right to bear them Is, by Reid's cass and subsequent reordlnations of the section. made subject to legisla- tive regulation in the interest of the public safety and the advancement of public morals"
 On another phase:
 We think we but express the expe- rience of the ordinary man when 1t is said that the more inconvenient un- wfeldy the weapon authorized to be borne, to that extent is the public safe- ty and public morals conserved. Such are fair reasons that might have in- duced the lawmakers to enact the law in question and justify the effort ap- parent to preserve the security of the people.
