That is an interesting and a sug- gestive proposal which has been made at Albany-to legislate against the common use and even ownership of the ingenious device which has been invented for silencing the noise of fire arms. says New York Tribune.

PETTY THlEvERY.

verse, "McGinnis and the Union La

late it has re-appeared in several la
Dor papers, each time credited to
some member of local union. This
is a species of petty larceny that
should be discouraged The verses are
good, and the man who wrote them
ought to have the credit. The Bakers
field Labor Journal is the latest ex-
change to err. 1t prints Kinks verses
and credits them to 81. w. Lloyd,
Local 1872, Brotherhood of Carpen-

with the writing of those verses as

Because the stolen shoes were not

picked up two "rights.")
Because one member of firm of
three names from whom goods had
been stolen was dead, and the indict-

Because the indictment had charged
the burglar with intent to commit a
