TUESDAY, JULY q, 1909

WHILE there was no direct testimony on
the point 1t is reported that young Kane.
the boy who shot the girl In Burlington,
was freQuenter of moving picture shows
and that his brain was full of the scenes
that are generally reproduced at those
shows. The reproduction of views that
win educate and amuse are the exception,
while those that represent burglars, shoot
ing scraps, wild west scenes, and such,
are the rule. There is no necessity for
such 8 condition of affairs. There are any
number of subjects and films that will
amuse and edify the audience. more than
half of which ia made up Of children, and
which would leave more favorable i'm
preston than do those that are now thrown
out. 1t was the character Of the views
presented at the majority of these shows
that caused the introduction in the Legis-
lature Of a bill to prohibit children from
attending places of amusements. The
moving picture show is subject to as much
criticism and needs as much restriction as
does the careless handling or placing of
firearms.

As result Of the investigation by the
Coroner In the recent Burlington tragedy,
there were two findings that were unavoid-
able and 1T Ia to be hoped that at least one
of them will have salutary effect. This
was that portion of the verdict which CEN
sured the father of the youthful lifetsker
to allow loaded gun In q place accessible
to the boy. The carelessness with which
guns and other weapons, loaded and
empty. are left lying around, has long
been menace to the safety of innocent
persons, whose lives have been snuffed
out because somebody has not taken pre-
cautions which would prevent tragedy.
The weapons have been allowed to lie
around loose simply because of the care
lessness of the owner and then when some
thing awful, like the Burlington case, has
happened, there has been general awak
ening, but too late. The verdict that the
little girl came to her death at the hands
of the boy, Kane. was the only return that
the jury could have made, and the lad
who sent little soul into eternity is now
In the fail with shadow on his life that
will never be removed. While he Is in
reality the criminal. the fault does not ABB
solutely lie at his door. Careful training
with proper supervision of the deadly
weapon. would have obviated all the pre-
sent painful conditions.
On THIS subject, the Newark Nesos says:
''Out in Missouri, the other day, a lad
happening to espy revolver that belong
ed to his father, and fancying that 1t was
not loaded, took the weapon and began to
play desperado.' His first essay result
ed In the death of his little brother, for,
unhappily, the weapon was fully loaded.
The incident is recalled by the recent
tragedy in Burlington, in which little
child was killed by the discharge of shot
gun in the hands of boy of eleven. In
these cases, as In a multitude of similar
ones, the weapons, loaded, had been care
lessly left within easy reach of the chill
dren, and the tragedies were only what
might have been expected.
at may be fairly doubted If there is
anv sufficient excuse whatever for firearms
in the home. The emergency which justi-
fies their presence there does not face the
average man once in lifetime, and when
it does he is fairly unable to find his weap-
on or too agitated to use it with effect
Whether necessary or not, however, the
weapon should never be loaded during the
day nor left within the reach OF children.
The average lad with healthy blood has
an instructive love for firearms and adven-
ture. To him the cowboy, the hunter and
the bandit are heroes. he is never hap
pier than when fiourishing pistol or stag
gering under the weight OF big gun. IL
IA all innocent enough, for 1t Is part Of his

THE State Council of the Junior Order
of American Mechanics has sent out q
circular letter urging its members to pay
particular attention to the candidates for
the Senate and Assembly on the question
of the school money. The Order Of Me-
chanics took very active interest in>the
subject last winter when there was q
suggestion that certain of the school
funds be diverted from the channels aow
occupied. The circular, signed by a
Board Of Managers, calls upon the mem
bers Of the Order to interview every can
didate for the Offices mentioned and get
from him pledge that he will resist every
effort to divert from the use of the schools
such proceeds of the main stem railroad
taxes as under the Act of 1906 are
pledged to the free public schools Of the
state. The Order Of Mechanics Ia GER
tainly greatly Interested In the schools
and their efforts to improve the education
al status Of affairs In this state have been
productive Of good results Whether
their zeal is greater than their discretion
In this matter we are not prepared to say.
but they are certainly deeply interested
and will doubtless make their power felt
In many sections Of the state.

From Avignon to Lyons the rail
road runs through a rich country, the
fruit trees covered with blossoms and
the forests assuming their robes OF
green, altogether making a picture
beautiful to look upon. From Lyons to
Paris the orchards. the vineyards and
the growing grain delight the eye of
the traveller from oriental deserts and
remind him of Macaulay's poem:

ANOTHER instance of the injustice that
may arise from failure to let the people
know what laws are on the statute books
was given last week, when a respected
citizen of this town was arrested for kill
ing game bird out of season. The gen.
tleman saw the bird in his garden and,
undoubtedly without giving the matter
any serious thought, and ignorant of the
fact that there had been changes in the
game laws. got his gun and killed the
bird. Then came the jealous officer with
views of that part of the fine that would
get into his pocket and he summoned the
game warden. Result-a respected citi-
zen, who has lived among us beyond the
allotted three-score years and ten, who has
always been law-abiding man, was, for
the first time in his life compelled to be
hailed as a law-breaker. Possibly If the
laws had been published the result might
haye been the same, but he would have
had show for knowledge on the subject
that has been tinkered with more than
any other that the Legislature considers.
There was an investigation committee,
once, that gave much time and attention
to abuses in certain state offices. About
the only outcome of the committees work
was the decision that it cost too much
money to publish the laws In the news
papers So now they are put up in
pamphlet form, mailed in sections to a
certain few, and then, after the Legisla-
ture has been adjourned for several
months, batch of the law books are sent
to offices where sometimes they lie for a
long time. In the meantime some fellow,
not favored with copy Of the valuable
books, breaks law known only to the
vigjlant officials and he is, despite his
responsibility and previous good chsrac-
ter, put In the position of lawbreaker.
1t may be too expensive to publish the
laws In the newspapers but it is the surest
way to prevent any one from pleading
ignorance. The present system of print
ing in pamphlet form. to allow few 10
be distributed and large lot to lie in
cellars or Offices is reprehensible and
wasteful.
