any such weapons. or any dirk, sword

which must be carried openly IN the
hand. or to carry concealed about the
person a razor.
An oficer or policeman while bona.
fide engaged in his official duties in
the execution Of process, or while
searching TO, OF engaged in arresting
criminals. is not liable for carrying
weapons. This does not mean that
an oficer. simply because he is an
officer. can put capias or warrant in
to one pocket and pistol in the other,
and carry them both to the end OF his
term. 1t means only, that an officer
/ shall have the right to be armed when
7 it is proper and necessary for him to
: be armed and it is question for you,
under the circumstances OF each par
: ticular case, whether the officer is car
rying the pistol in good faith, to ena-
hle him to properly discharge his off,
cial duties, or whether he is carrying
it simply because he likes
to go around armed among his
fellow citizens.
las long as these laws against con-
cealed weapons are violated, it places
every law abiding man at disadvan-
tage for he obeys the law, and does
not carry them. while the man who
has no regard FOR the law, nor the
peace of society goes about armed
ready to brow-beat and intimidata his
neighbor in case any difficulty should
arise between them.
"This is a civilized country. The
courts are open for the redress of
mems wrongs, and while good men
obey the law willingly, cowardly out |
laws should be made to obey it or to
leave the country.
Intoxicating Liquors.
mo questions have given the public
so much concern as those pertaining |
to intoxicating liquors. With the po-
litical disturbances pertaining to it,
you have nothing to do. 1t is not for
you to be swayed one way or the 9th
er by public or political policy. The
good order of every community de-
ponds in a large measure upon the So
briefly of it's inhabitants. Past expe-
riences have shown that intoxications ,
unfit one for business and makes him i,
a disturbing element among his asso- ;
,iates more liable to commit breach ,
If the peace or engage in criminal 7
act. Many laws have been enacted y
o meet and prevent this evil and it is r
our sworn duty to return a bill
Lgainst all who violate these laws. y
7ou should act without regard to pub !
ic clamor. 1t is not the duty of the q
rand jury to seek applause or dread :
eproof. The punishment of offend :,
RS against these or any other laws, >,
hould be so certain as to deserve no !,
