THE LAW AND THE PISTOL 1o7ER,

New York has passed a string gent
law prescribing severe penalties for
pistol toting. The law goes an i'm
portant step farther and puts severe
penalties on the sale of deadly weap-
ons except as under legal restric-
tons.
1t is useless to make laws unless
they are fully enforced. New York
legislators may legislate until the cows
come home without much effect unless
the police and the magistrates see to
the enforcement OF the law. Iowa has
a law sufficiently severe to put the
pistol toter cut q business either in
side or out Of Jail If it were enforced
The fact Is that it is not enforced or
attempt made to enforce it Men and
boys pack pistols around practically
with fmpunity. Balance the number of
persons whom you are sure carry pis-
tolls against the prosecutions for carry
Ing concealed weapons. The puzzle is
to find the prosecution and conviction
of the pistol toter. But every day
some criminal commits or attempts
murder with the ever ready revolver.
70 allege that pistol is necessary
for defense is pure poppycock. There
are not three men in any Iowa COM
munfty who need pistol. The pistol
strapped to the side OF the expressman
IS pure blur Whoever heard Of a
case where he was forced to use it?
And II he were the average man would
be much moro likely to drill some
innocent bystander' than to settle
hoidup man. The sensible merchant
and citizen do not lug money home Of
nights in one pocket and a gun in the
other to defend It with. He puts the
coin where thieves can not break In
and steal and hasn't had the old gun
in the bureau drawer in his hand for
years. A pistol toter is usually fool
or a criminal and both are decidedly
UNSAFE PERSONS u trust with weapons
The law against carrying concealed
weapons IL good enough as far as it
goes. It needs expansion to cover the
dealer who sells them. Most OF all it
needs officers who will apply the right
of search TO suspect persons and push
the cases in the police courts, And
then It needs magistrates who will
assess the full penalty and hold the
pistol toter to the limit OF the law
Law making doesn't get anywhere or
anything. Law enforcement is delivery
