WEDDING RINGS FOR MARRIED
MEN.

St Paul Pioneer Press.
The report comes from Pittsburg
that the society women of that city
are agitating the enactment of a law
to require married men to wear we'd
ding rings. The fundamental purpose
is said to be to protect young women
from flirtstious benedlcts. The Pitts
burg women believe that girls will
not fllrt with men known to be mar
ried
That may be true IN Pittsburg-al-
though the city has no such reputa-
tion-yet It certainly is not true In
all towns. The young women in some
cities, where there Is a disposition to
flirt, seem to have a preference for
those known to be adopts. The inau-
guration of the custom OF putting rings
on husbands would make II easy for
the feminine triflers TO tell who are
experienced and who are not. The
plain should encounter the solid oppo-
sition OF the bachelors of the country.
1t is aimed directly at one Of their
inalienable rights.

THE DEADLY six-sHooTER.
Houston Chronicle.

Houston Chronicle.
The tidings that somewhere in Tex
as some man, or men, have deliberate
ly violated the law and buckled on
pistols and gone out and killed some
body can be confidently looked for
every day.
The printers can almost keep the
type standing for such news. The
story is practically the same-lawless
men carrying forbidden pistols pre-
pared to kill some one or more fei-
low beings, and yet there are those
who are not in sympathy with the ef-
forts of the Chronicle to put down
this barbaric practice.
This is normally peaeeable state,
and becomes otherwise only when law
less men defy the plain behests of the
people and violate their written stat
utes.
There Is but one meaning of "law.
less" and that is having no regard
for the law. The man who loads his
body with a pistol disregards and vio-
lates the law. and, whoever he may
be, he is lawless man, and law
less man is criminal: and when a
criminal kills with a weapon unlaw'
fullycarried he is, upon every prin'
ciple of law, n murderer.
The Chronicle has long ago and
many times prescribed the remedy,
and that is TO take from the man who
slays with a weapon unlawfully carried
the right of perfect self-defense, and
so limit the right of defense, in ac-
cordance with well-established judi
cial holdings, as to make the act man
slaughter, to whatever extremity the
killer may have been reduced in the
affray.
