who had not been trained in tooth
brush exercise, have been taught To

elected. Some of them have con-
ceded that the President is not as
strong as he was in 1908, but they
are basing their confidence on a
hope that the Democrats will nomi-
nate a man who will not have the
united support of their party. There
is good reason for Republican APP
prehension. What with the insurg-
ency movement and the Roosevelt
agitation the outlook is not en-
couraging to the administration

hoping that there will be Demo-

The Barefoot Bow

There is always a chance for the

his youth that can be outlived either
for better or for worse, and 1t be-

RANDOM CLIPPINGS
"Hessians."

A writer in recent issue of Har-
per's Weekly calls attention to the
fact that the word "Hessians" is
used In America to indicate hireling
soldiers, and that the term has al
ways been held in contempt.
"Yet what are we but Hessians, ;"
the writer wants to know, "if we
permit our politics to be controlled
by professional politicians?"
The smile is not quite apt,
though it gets close to a real evil,
A Hessian is the common reproach-
full sense in which the term is used
in the United States, does not apply
to those who employ the hirelings,
but rather to the hirelings them
selves.
Therefore, the professional politi-
clan is the Hessian; and we who
permit the professional politician to
misrepresent us are guilty of the
graver offense Of doing business
with unworthy men.
There is another idea, however,
in the discussion by this writer to
whom we have referred, which. very
surely contains the real solution OF
the problem of political stupidity
and crookedness In the United
States.
This is to the effect that good
men should be patriotic enough to
accept offices, no matter what sal
airy is attached to them, as the only
way in which good citizen may
perform his duty.
The idea that offices are desirable
because of the salaries "and per-
quisites" they carry is doubtless re-
sponsible for the vast amount of in
efficiency and unfitness in office.
When responsible men realize that
no public office is unimportant. and
manifest a willingness to serve the
community in which they live for o
reasonable length of time, even al
considerable loss of material ad.
| vantages to themselves, then public
| scandals and professional politicians
| alike will have been stamped out.

deadly weapons also may be sent
to prison for year Joseph b.
David. an attorney. is author Of the
bill and he says every effort Will be
made to advance it so that it will
be introduced at the next meeting
or the Legislature. While Chicago
probably has had more murders and
shooting scrapes per capita than any
other city, every resident of Illinois
should be interested in the proposed
statute. Nearly every shpfing
scrape and particularly saloon
brawls in which deadly Weapons
are used can be attributed to the
lack Of a proper law regulating the
carrying Of concealed weapons. If
a severe punishment was provided
for this offense and If the police
performed their duty properly it
stands to reason that the man who
carries a revolver tor sOme other
deadly weapon because he knows he
can '.ret away with it, would
leave his weapon at home. Very
few men carry deadly weapons be
cause they actualr need protec-
ton. but aheel" themselves more In
spirit OF bravado. Occasionally
this species Of the bad man mixes
up liquor with argument, with the
result that somebody gets shot
stabbed or Knocked out with brass
knucks. Missouri has statute
which provides penitentiary sem
tence OF not less than two years for
men who are convicted on charges
OF carrying concealed weapons. The
law also is stringent in Its regula-
ton or dealers who are not even
permitted to exhibit deadly weapons
In their show windows. Other
states also have provided severe
punishment for deadly weapon
"toters' and since the inauguration
OF the new law crime in these states
has been on the decrease. Cairo has
had It's share OF shooting scrapes
and nearly all of them have resulted
from saloon brawls. If the police
of Cairo were to search the pockets
of every man they met on the
streets on any day or night they
doubtless would find a sufficient
number of concealed weapons to
supply a small army, and the sooner
this is done the better off good citi-
Gems of Cairo will be. RI those rep
resentative citizens of Chicago wish
to perform real service to the
State they should ask for peniten-
tiary sentence of from two to ten
years for every gun toter." A
year in prison would only be placing
premium on the crime.
