Another sea mystery has been cast up

The fact that her valuable cargo keeps

action on the great tidal forces Of the

PISTOL-TOTING RECEIVES CHECK
From the Savannah Morning News.

From the Savannah Morning News
Governor Brown is. recognizing the
fact that there is a strong and grow
ing sentiment against pistOl-tOting,
and he is going to respect it. In fact,
the indications are that he has made
up his mind to do what he can to
encourage it. In al interview which
he gave out on Tuesday he said that
he was holding up several applica-
tiOns for pardon in murder and man
slaughter cases in which Clemency
had been recommended by the par
don board, and that he wasn't at all
sure that he would take any action
on them. Further along in his in
teryiew he said: q think it is high
time to put an end to this pistol-tOt-
ing business. On this account | am
compelled to disappOint several very
excellent ladies who interested them
selves in the Caudle case. We have
got to make sentences fixed, do away
with indeterminate sentences, so that
when a criminal is sentenced to ten
years he will know he is going to
serve ten years, and when he is SEN
fenced for life he will know he is
going to serve his lifetime. Then
probably, another man will be slow
about pulling trigger"
That is the sort of talk that is
wanted from the pardoning power
One reason, if not the chief one, why
there are so many crimes Of violence,
particularly among people of some
influence in their respective cOmmu-
mites, is the feeling that it is easy
to avoid punishment for such crimes.
The pistol-toting habit is very gen.
eral, and pistols are drawn and used
on very slight provocation. If the
law against pistol-toting were enforc-
ed vigorously and those guilty of
crimes of violence we're punished in
accordance with the law we should
see a very great decrease in the num-
Der of crimes of violence
