Tax Guns and Pistols

Editor Journal-One OF the greatest curses
Of our state is the indiscrimnate sale OF guns
and pistols. 1t is simply appalling to read
the number Of murders chronicled by the papers
daily Haw can our lawmakers allow this state
of affairs to longer exist. Children are made
orphans by the cruel gun, and even innocent
women shot down in cold blood, was the
case in johnson county only a few days ago
by n worthless black devil.
During the spring murder ran riot IN south
Georgia One man was killed in Douglas and
one each in Lumber City, McRae. Hazlehurst.
Ocilla. Jssup, Fitzgerald and one In Lowndes
county.
The state faces a deficit and / suggest the
taxation OF guns and pistols in Georgia like
the government does in France. In that coun-
try no man can use fowling piece without
tax license About IS a year is the average tar
and that much tax imposed in our state would
not only raise an immense fund but put a stop
to so much pistol -toting. 1t Is impossible 10
enforce the present law grand jurors are
guilty of carrying concealed weapons, and the
Officers Of the law will not do their duty. The
average officer in Georgia is out for the money,
and very little does he care for the protection
of the people.
Here in brunswick there are three pawn shops
that carry pistols in their windows and safes
by the wagon-load, and any irresponsible man,
black or white, can buy gun II he has the
price.
Put a tax on them and put a stop TO so much
murder. There is less crime in France than any
country in the world Now, Mr.. Editor. advo-
cate this measure in your usual vigorous style
and you viii put stop TO crying evil II
such a law could be enacted and enforced.

Election of Judges

Editor Journal: We admit that "an govern
ment Of right. originates with the people ana
Is founded upon their will" and as a rule they
should have voice in saying who should govern
and administer the law, but In the case OF the
election of the judges We think 1t mueh oetIer
for them to be elected in some other way. We
must respect the right and judgments OF the
people and ever bow to the Will Of the majority
but in this case, is it best? We think not Tor
many reasons.
and are composed Of the same material OF which
all men made.
In elections men are forced to side FOR or
against them and that same Judge must decide
cases between these same Observation-Disclosures
and foes politically. In such cases, what an
embarrassing situation he is placed In, even II
disposed TO deal out Justice between them; and
the losing enemy would feel aggrieved, or reel
as il he had not received justice at his hands.
We are all more or less suspicious and super
stitious.
with the people. their wants and conditions, but
there is a better way than meeting them as a
politician.
People will claim pulls on the Judge and make
many crimes go unpublished and the innocent
are oppressed.
Our judges when on the bench should know
no one-know only the law and the evidence.
People human and look at things from a
human standpoint. We can't rid ourselves Of
that part Of us, therefore, think It far better
for the masses to have nothing to do or say In
these elections. They would feel better and the
Judge would be in a more easy position.
The question is how should they be elected !
We think they should be elected by the bar, by
the attorneys OF the circuit in which the judges
to preside. They are supposed to be ac-
quainted with the people and their needs and
who would suit them, also they are supposed
to be competent to Judge OF ability.
We think this the best. safest and wisest
plan. S. NJ. LEDF0RD.

ing love story in one of the most corrupt
courts that history has recorded-that Of
Louis XIV of France. The book opens by
taking the readers into the midst of this
court. where intrigue. jealousy and love
are mixed in hopeless confusion. Later
the scene is transferred to Maryland, In
the American colonies, and eventually re-
turns to Paris.
"Istar Of Babylon is a scene laid In
Babylon, at the time Immediately pre-
ceding its fall and capture by Cyrus. Istar,
the heroine of the story, is the Egyptian
goddess Aphrodite, who determines 10 go
to earth TO become a mortal woman. Read
the book and find out what becomes Of
Istar.
These books are published by Harper g.
Bros, New York city. Price of each $3.50.
