Robnett's Pardon

II is hardly fair, as some seem In
clned to do, to charge Gov. Hawley
with making his dramatic outburst
aga INST the national administration for
the pardoning of Robnett. the en-
bezzling bank clerk, for the purpose
of drawing attention from his own
connection with the numerous similar
acts performed by the Idaho state
board OF pardons. However the peo-
pie OF Idaho county have not forgot
| ten the recent anraignment of the
governor and the state pardoning
board, by DISTINCT Judge Steele. IN

OF the or attest contributing influences
toward the invoking Of Judge Lynch
in cases of extremely aggravating der

were simply an expression OF the
fear on the part OF the people that

MISSIONARIES, JUBILEE.

TALLY to the fund being raised for the conduct
of missions in pagan and heather lands, since
the scope OF the work and necessity for fnan-
,ciai aid has been made known at the Jubilee OF
womens Foreign Missionary Societies.
The thousands of women engaged In this lau-
dable movement, which IL praiseworthy and
commendatory even though the combined socie-
ties never convert a signal soul from paganism,
or heathenism. serve most splendid incen
tive to higher thought and greater things In a
religious and humanitarian way. Their ear
nestness and determination In the past played
no unimportant part in influencing the lorna
ton of the Laymen's Missionary Movement
They set q most admirable example, and they
are laboring diligently in behalf OF the great
cause which they have undertaken.
In foreign mission work 1t is not so much a
question of adding to the list OF converts to
Christianity as 1t is spreading the gospel where
1t has never before been heard, teaching the
doctrines of right living, instructing the igno
rant in matters of hygiene. and assisting In the
remedying of social evils and horrifyine
abuses to women and children. The number oil
immediate conversions may be small, but the in

PistoI-Totinr Must Go.

The pernicfous pistol-toting habit is one of
the most troublesome things with which those
charged with the enforcement of laws have to
contend. 1t is responsible for many homicides.
fhe possession Of pistol by on party to a
quarrel often leading to a killing that would not
nave occurred otherwise MANY controversies
occur in which men lose control of themselves.
III no weapon is convenientethe parties to the
row are separated with no more serious dam
age In most cases, than is involved in a fisti-
cum that Is the end of the trouble. IL or
both of the parties. however, have contracted
the ptstol-toting habit, there is necessarily pres
emit the danger of something more serious.
ana In TOO many cases something more serious
results.
The best remedy for such condition Of af-
fairs Is the putting into force OF more stringent
laws with reference to the carrying of con-
ceaied weapons and strieter enforcement of
existing laws on the subject until some more
adequate to deal with the situation passed.
In discussing this phase of the matter in an
editorial under the caption, Pistol Toing Must
Go, the Baltimore Sun says: From every part
of the country come reports OF crimes that seem
to be the direct outgrowth of the pistol toting
habit, crimes that probably would not have
occurred but for the fact that the murderers
were armed at the particular moment when the
homicidal idea came to them. Almost every
state In the Union now stands In needs OF a
srfcter and more strictly enforced law against
carrying concealed weapons. West Virginia
two years ago enacted Jaw that provides
q compulsory Jail sentence for the man con-
victed of making a walking arsenal of himself.
elk months IN jail Is the minimum penalty,
and the enforcement of the law has made the
gun-carrying habit much less popular than

place in this city during the past month that
would almost certainly not have been com
mitted but for the too handy pistol The pistol
tcting habit must be broken up. 1t is a cow
ardly habit at best, and has proper place
In civilized community. We are all too ready
to think OF Texas and other of the Western
States as the home OF the pistol toter and yet
two Texas boys who were arrested in New
York City the other day for carrying concealed
weapons testified upon their trial that they had
bought the guns in New York and. that 1t
would have been impossible for them to secure
them at home. Pistol-toting Is going out OF
style In Texas and the other States considered
wild and woolly, but 1t still stays with us in
the East esteemed among certain classes as
one Of the reigning styles of personal adorn-
ment. 1t must go."--Twin City Sentinel
