CURLING Sale of Firearms.

marked increase in the number
Of homieides and suicides by shoot
ing has led officials Of the New York
coroner's office to start a movement
which they hope will lead to new legis-
lation restricting the sale of firearms,
particularly revolvers. An expert who
has been in the coroner's office for
thirteen years proposes to exact a
high license of shopkeepers selling re-
volvers and compel a purchaser to
have a permit from the police before
he can get his pistol. Application for
the permit would force him or her
to give the name and address and be
questioned as to the object in view.
their discretion, could head off many
crimes right there in their incipiency.
Senator Timothy d. Sullivan is sup
porting this plan and proposes a bill
to the legislature Of New York. maxi
ing it state prison offense to carry
concealed weapons.
OF course If a person is determined
to commit suicide, or even murder,
he might do it without the use of a
revolver, but the New York laws and
laws of many other states, in contem-
plation, having already restricted the
sale of poisons, thus effecting some
restriction there and reducing the pos
sibility of self-destruction that much.
No argument is required to convince
people in this country of the impera-
tive necessity for some legislation
that will tend to discourage the
frightful destruction of human life
with firearms. For years the cry
went out against the pistol toter" in
the south, the best element of the
south joining in it and some good has
come of the protests, but the grim re-
cords of homicides and suicides are
too widespread to make this a sec
tional question. 1t is a question that
should receive prompt and vigorous
handling in most states of the union.
The New York proposals may at first
seem inadequate, but they would be
made very effective. With proper
restrictions laid upon the traffic of
firearms and state prison penalties
for violations of the law, there is
reasonable basis for the belief that
men would hesitate to sell, buy or
carry these weapons promiscuously.

The Child and the Home.

recent number of the North
American Review contains a very in
teresting article on the child and So
cial reform by a minister, who makes
the remarkable statement that
Somewhat, but not very much, can
be done for the moral improvement
OF the present adult generation" If
he is right, II is rather discouraging
to the efforts of those reformers who
strive to supplant penalty for crime
with a kind of absent treatment rem
edy that frowns on all sorts of pun
ishment Ministers as a rule, 4. may
be assumed, have much experience in
trying to get men to turn from their
sins and reform, hence it will not
quite do peremptorily TO dismiss what
an eminent man OF the cloth has to
say upon this subject. OF course, no
one imagines that he has despaired
OF the regenerating power OF the gos-
pei. But, just the same. he adds;
am persuaded that, while the reform
of an adult criminal or degeneTate-who
has become such In childhood-is not i'm

If Cupid Waits for Mail.

The Chicago postmaster is consider
ing the advisability of closing forty
six substations on Sunday because
information he has had gathered
shows that there is no real need or
demand for their service on that day.
He has found that more than one-half
of those receiving Sunday mail at
these substations are boys and girls
or young people getting love letters.
One recent Sunday just 1900 of the
100000 residents of Chicago got
their mail and II required the labor
of 1000 mail clerks to give il to
them. Now, it strikes the postmaster
that the 1000 mail clerks are as
much entitled to their Sundays rest
as are these people to their love mis-
sives, which constitute mere than so
per cent Of the letters.
1t is quite probable that this stu
alton in Chicago could be duplicated
on a smaller scale in other cities and
that the actual demand for keeping
these outlying substations open on
Sunday is small. If business houses
can do without their mail on that
day, certainly lovers and others who
patronize the substatiOns should. In
Omaha we have no Sunday carrier de-
liveries which would indicate that
we have no needs but that can be
subserved by the morning opening for
an hour at the central postofice.
The crowds that flock into the sub
stations, are chiefly children and
young folks and. whether it be a
happy commentary upon their piety
or not, church people on their way
home from morning worship. I'm
douOtedly these people all could wait
until Monday for their mail and give
the men who work every other day
during the week chance for a days
rest on Sunday There is some food
for serious thought in this for the
churchman.

OMAHA. Jan. 29.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: notice in The Bee Of today the pro-
posed reciprocity with Canada plan re-
ferred to in New York dispatch as a
lever to lower food prices" From what
little study ] have given the subject It
strikes me this view is not far-fetched.
While ] doubt the expediency OF any sweep
ing lowering OF prices, yet l believe a better
general level could be reached and | also
believe such trade relations with Canada
as a reciprocity treaty would bring about
would tend to effect a better balancing Of
prices We should never look for cheap"
prices again in this country. for It is not
a cheap-price country We are brnginS
our resources up to the point where we
are soon going to be able to cope with
high prices as easily or easier than we
were able before to cope with the cheap
prices Besides. cheap prices was one ele-
ment that figured I'm the most distressing
panic this country ever saw and we want
to do away with all elements Of paniCs.
But to reciprocity. we have been crying
for such a system in this country ever
since James G. Blaine gave IL such promi-
nence, and now that we have an oppor-
tunity to put it into effect between the
United States and Canada two strikingly
similar countries. practically one, in fact,
we should not stultify our professions by
falling to do so. I see nothing in such a
policy which the ultra protectionists could
not consistently adopt. II is straining at a
gnat and swallowing a camel when men
will oppose such treaty with Canada and
then go before congress and fight for plac-
ing this article OF that on the free list be-
cause 1t has a sectional significance favor
able to their selfish political interests. BY
all means let our congress cooperate with
the president in giving us reciprocity with
the Dominion JOHN H. MHENRY.

No Trenches for Them.

The Brotherhood Welfare assOcia-
ton, which might as we'll be called
the Sons Of Rest, was just getting it's
anvil chorus under a full head Of
steam in its convention at Milwaukee,
when a circular inviting able bodied
men to enlist in the army and navy
fell into the hands Of a delegate and
nearly precipitated a riot. The cir
cular was an appeal for more men for
military service. Tear 1t up and
throw it in the waste basket"
shouted many voices.
The Milwaukee conventioners are
sometimes referred to as unemployed
and are reputed to be gentlemen of
work. II they we're in earnest, they
would not be out of work long. This
country is going TO Europe. as our
immigration statistics show every
year for large numbers of men to per-
form tasks which our own unem-
ployed refuse to perform Public ser
vice corporations, contractors on
street improvement and excavations,
railroad work and similar enterprises,
find It generally impossible to supply
their demands for common labor ex-
cept from the ranks of these immi-
grants. Go to the average employ
ment agency and you may find proof
Of this fact. A large percentage of
their traffic is with foreign laborers,
who come over here, take what they
can get and within few years find
themselves in comfortable circum-
stances.
The flotsam and jetsam of the
American population could get the
same work at better wages, but they
will not take it. Hence no one needs
to be alarmed over the Industrial sit
uation in the United States simply be-
cause a lot of chronic kickers choose
to hold a convention and bewail the
fact that they are unable to amass
fortunes without exerting any effort
to get them.

wanted-A Remedy.

The legislative investigating COM
mittee looking into the election condi-
lions in Omaha will hear all kinds of
evidence, much of it based on mere
rumor and hearsay, but some going to
actual evils that call for remedy.
The conditions surrounding cleo
lions in Omaha in respect to registra-
tion and special certificates. for non
registered voters are duplicated with
variations, only in degree, in South
Omaha and Lincoln, and wherever a
dense population requires registration
of voters for Identification and pro-
lection against repeating and fraud.
The looseness of the law and the care
lessness of the election officers,
whether willful or merely negligent,
can be established not only for Omaha,
but also for Lincoln, where it is noto-
rious that nonresident students are
regularly voted by the hundred and
imported fioaters sworn in by profess
sional freeholders.
What is wanted, therefore, we say,
is not only to bring out these facts,
but. more important, to devise rem
edy that will lessen these evils and
make our elections more nearly re-
fleet correctly the expressed will of the
legally qualified electors. The people
who can give Information about
wrong-doing under existing law are
not necessarily the people who can
suggest the remedies. 1t is the duty
of the lawmakers to work out prac-
tical legislation that will safeguard
the ballot box against fraud and per-
version, and at the same time uphold
the constitutional guaranty of free
and untrammeled ballot for every
male citizen over the age of 21 who
has resided within the state the time
prescribed by Law.
