adopted prohibiting the giving
or selling 10 children under
the age OF fourteen years any
kind or description of fire arm
or ammunition within the cor
porate limits of the city.
The introduction of this
resolution was occasioned bv
the public sentiment following
the sad accident resulting to
little Augusta Pingree last
Sunday from a 22 calibre
rifle in the hands of a fellow
playmate.
While the belated action of
aldermen was impelled by
circumstances similar to those
which prompt most law-mak-
ing bodies to provide measures
for public safety, it is a mat
ter for regret that the wisdom
of such laws is seldom recog-
nized until sad consequences
result from their absence or
non-enforcement. 1t is an
obvious fact, however, that
even with preventive laws
designed to protect the young
from their own careless acts,
the avoidance of danger from
this particular evil lies largely
in the hands of parents, who
by allowing their children to
use dangerous fire arms be-
come primarily responsible
for the accidents resulting
therefrom. In the present
instance it is learned that the
gun did not belong to the boy
who did the shooting but was
the property of another and
older boy who was with HIM.
Nevertheless, the imminent
danger of permitting any boy
Of tender years to possess
weapons capable of inhicting
at least serious injury, should
be too obvious to warrant
comment.
In the present ordinance,
the age limit might better have
been put at sixteen or seven
teen years instead of fourteen,
for while years are not always
a criterion of intelligence, the
limit should be fixed at ali
age that would promise bet
ter assurance of reliability.
1t is to be hoped that the re-
cent incident that has brought
sorrow and trouble to one
family will cause parents gen
orally to better appreciate
their opportunities to prevent
such happenings.
