The editorial in The Star yesterday
urging the Senate District committee to
promptly take up and report to the Sen
ate for passage the House bill reducing
the price of gas to 50 cents a thousand
cubic feet, and the two bills, one repeal
ing the stock-infiation statute and
the other regulating the quantity Of per-
missible carbon monoxide in the product
of the local companies. was approved
and Endorsed at a meeting Of the Ia
koma Park Citizens Association last
evening in Takoma Hall. The resolution
on the subject was presented by H. b.
Shaw, and unanimously adopted. The
pressure of gas in this locality. Mr.. Shaw
said, falls daily between the hours of
and o'clock am. and o'clock and :ae
o'clock pm. to such degree that 1t Is
not available for use on gas cooking
appliances, and is insufficient for rea-
sonble illumination in addition to the
grave danger of the total extinction of
the lights.
The report of the special gas commit
tee, composed of ]. A. LIE Clerc and >.
w. Williams. was read by Mr.. LIE Cierc
and unanimously adopted. The report
set forth that the citizens or iakoiaa
Park are vitality interested In the re-
Gently proposed legislation eonce.h r.ns
the presence Of carbon monoxide. AFTER
reading quotations from citizens or the
Park embodied in the report, MI. lie
Clerc said that in view OF the Iact lha'
| the gas is so poisonous. he had recon-
mended to the Commissioners that when
the gas laws are changed they pc
amended so that the gas companies pc
| required to furnish gas TO all parts OF
| the District with q minimum pressure or
| l degree. and that tests be made by the
/ inspector Of gas of the pressure In all
parts of the city. and that the gas COM
panies be penalized for failure to meet
! the requirements.
IF Takoma Park had at least / degree
of pressure" he contended. 1.-The danger
to life and health would be removed
While we recognize that pressure of at
least 1.5 degrees should be main alnea
i'm order to get good lighting results,
degree would make it safe to use gas.

STOP SALE OF GUNS
Legislature Asked to Make it Impossi-
BILE for Boys to Buy Revolvers

! 10 prevent the sale and display Of
fevolvers in Wisconsin,, law that has
been enforced 4 successfully in other
states, is a subject under consideration
by members Of the legislature. The
Milwaukee police and courts are ready
to lend their support and encourage the
measure.
It IS an axiom. of the police and
courts that fully ninety-nine men out
of hundred arrested are guilty, al
though they do not always pay the
penalty. In other words only l per
cent. Of the arrests prove to be limo
cent people Of the SO per cent who
are guilty, the police records shows
that one-half, at least, carry revolvers.
i 1t man is arrested as suspicious
character, the fact that a revolver is
found in his pocket, when searched at
the policesa headquarters generally is
cause for an Investigation, where he
came from, and if he is wanted for
any crime in some other city. Of
course, the criminal of the higher or
der of intellect, will not be caught with
any damaging evidence in the way of
concealed weapons, but intelligent
criminals are not caught daily.
! If a man has ingenuity to evade the
police and detectives and continue a
career of crime that battles men, who
have nothing else to do but hunt for
him, and have made their work a pro-
fession, it is conceded that he probably
will spend that energy and ingenuity
toward making an honest living, which
is more profitable and much easier
] Many a small boy has stood before
show window, with eyes and mouth
wide open, admiring in wonder and
awe the brilliant, glittering array of
revolvers spread upon the green or red
plush or hung in a dazzling circle, some
nickel plated, others in smoke blue,
eachra death splitter.
! A man in the possession of such a
deadly and all-signifcant looking arti
Gle is no coward, no matter, what his
proclivities may be. One only has
j. to flourish a revolver in the air and
shout a few times No one will dis
pute his right Of way except police
man, and he also will have revolver
and will know how to use it.
! The promoters Of the bill are urging
these facts as the best reasons for
the restricting the sale Of fire arms in
the state. The bill has the support of
I the police department of Kenosha and
'other cities in the state.

A REPUBLICAN WRITES
About Contest for Office of the County
superintendent
Bristol. Wis. Feb. o. l90a-

Bristol, Wis, Feb 81, 1905
70 the Editor
Please allow Cor selD me space ts
register a strong protest, as RepubIi-
can, against statement made in The
last weekly issue of the Telegram Cour-
Ter to the effect that in the contest be-
tween Prof. O. L. Dreys and Superia-
tendent Kerwin, 1t is generally con-
ceded that Superintendent Kerwin has
a long lead. IN the same issue YOU
state that in other years the election
for county judge has, in way. Deem
made party fight, because one candf-
date was a Republican and the other a
Democrat. That condition exists IN
the election for county superintendent
of schools this year; for Mr.. Dreys is
a staunch Republican, while MIR. Ker-
win is a Democrat who would not to-day
be eligible for the Office which he seeks
except for the fact that he held the
office, as q, Democratic partisan, prior
to 1898. The fight this spring must of
necessity be largely partisan; and with
the rural part of the county, the only
part which votes for this office, over
whelmingly Republican, Mr.. Kerwin's
lead is not apparent, to me. Moreover,
Mr. Dreys is widely known because of
his poems which appear in the ''Jour-
nal of Education" and because Of his
article on ''Teachers Tendencies, -
which appeared in the "Western Teach
er, and aroused considerable inter
est. Again he is of German parentage
representing large and growing ele-
ment in the population of our great
country. He makes use of three
languages in his campaign work; and
your reader predicts that if Mr.. KeE-
win has any lead at all at present III
will shrink like wet wool before April
6, and he will be distanced at the polls.

NEW MARRIAGE LAW

The pre-eminence of Kenosha as a
marrying center is to get a boost if a
law introduced into the assembly on
Tuesday is passed The law provides
for the removal of the five days clause
in connection with the issue Of MARI
age licenses and will make it possible
for couples to be married on the same
day the license is issued. This will
make it possible for Chicago couples
to come to Kenosha and be married
with as much ease as in tie days be-
fore the passage of the True marriage
law and it is thought that the passage
Of the law will greatly increase the
number Of these marriages in Kenosha.
