CONCEALED WEAPONS.

AS an attempt to stop the sale Of
revolvers and other deadly weapons
that may readily be concealed on the
person, the New York law recently
signed by Governor Dix is worthy of
study by lawmakers and executive au-
thorities. 1t forbids the sale of such
Weapons except to persons having
permits to carry them. All dealers
must keep record showing names,
occupations and addresses Of buyers
OF the weapons. To carry or attempt
t. Use a dangerous weapon without a
permit becomes a felony.
Doubt Is expressed by some who
are familiar with conditions in New
York City about the possibility of en-
! forcing the act there, but this g

LEGAL DECISIONS

wi. / in he employ Of defendant was
assaulted ana placed under arrest
without warrant by watchman in
the service OF defendant He was
taken 10 jail where he was searched
and thrown into a filthy cell with a
number of other prisoners. His COM
panions in distress then proceeded to
initiate him into the mysteries OF cap
tivity. First they forcibly took his
money away from him subjecting him
to other abuse and ipdiglities, and
then proceeded TO put him through a
kangaroo" trial The record does
not show whether they convicted
him or not, but nevertheless for
these torures he sues his employer,
praying damages for being Inundated
by the kangaroo trial Defendant

petition upon the ground that 1t wa5
irrelevant and not material to any is
sue in the case. The trial court over
ruled the exception, and this Is as
signed as error. The Court OF Civil
Appeals of Texas holds that the mock
triad was outside OF and beyond the
natural current which had It's origin
in and flowed from defendants al
legged wrong, SO the exception should
have been sustained. The court says,
The mind balks in it's endeavor to
extend the chain of causation from
defendants act of wrongful imprison-
ment TO the mock trial. for it finds
the chain OF causation too short. The
connecting link is missing. And like

FIELD FOR STATESMAN

BY n. r, Potter.

People are constantly saying that
business principles and methods
should be applied in the affairs Of
government. Why do not the people
insist that heir representatives who
conduct government must apply
them?
What would be thought of the
course of the transportation com
panies if they made the same total
charge for carrying people or ex
press packages, or common freight,
from Cairo to Anna that they charge
for transporting he same from Bos.
on to San Francisco? 1t would be
thought idiotic Yet he government
transports its mail matter, not only
leers and circulars, but also merchan.
disc and bulky printed periodicals,
from the big daily and Sunday news
papers to the heavy monthly maya
zines, on this plan. The postage on
all classes of matter from Cairo to
Mound City is the same as from New
York to San Diego.
This is not only outraging common
sense from financial standpoint, but
works great injustice to a vast ma,
jority of the business people Of the
country 1t compels the country mer.
chants and those OF the small cities
to be competitors Of the great mer
camille corporations of he large cities
1t compels all publishers of country
newspapers and those of provincial
cities to be competitors Of the large
corporation publishing houses Of a
few Of the greatest cities, and with
holds from the former circulation and
advertising patronage they are justly
entitled to.
These facts present field for the
| practical statesman to work in, and
II he works with the ability, energy
and persisency that command success
he would go on record as great
man.

CRIME AND PUBLICITY"

Some months ago when The Bulle-
lin was engaged in vigorous ex-
position and denunciation Of evil con-
ditions in Cairo it met with some
severe criticisms from citizens, not
only from the men who were directly
or indirectly responsible for these
conditions, but from business men and
others who echoed the complaints OF
the former, that The Bulletin was
hurting the town.
1t appears that like complaint has
come to the Chicago Tribune, because
OF it's publications concerning evil
conditions in that city. That paper,
in its issue Of Monday, prints Il
communication from one G. D. KEEL
logg, in which he declares that
such publicity in the Tribune had
contributed to prevent the securing
OF the meeting of an important asso-
citation in that city. Replying to the
correspondents question, rs it neces-
sary to faunt our shame to the
worid?" The Tribune takes the same
position The Bulletin has taken in
reply complaints made against It,

respectable people like him will take

question themselves. If they will

the conditions which produce crime,
it will finally dawn upon them that
the first essential to the correction
OF evil Is discovery and exposure.
There are many people who cling to
the notion that the way to prevent,
avoid, or abolish evil is to refuse
to see it, but the ostrich has never
yet been generally used as symbol
OF wisdom.
The function Of the press is to
publish the news, as much Of the
truth as it can reach. This is un.
