Dorothy Frooks, Is years old, a pu-
Pill OF the Bayome high school, has
decided to organize a Woman's SUI

assured by a number of her friends
that they will enroll as members. Miss
Frooks formerly lived in Manhattan,

Frooks, ran for the assembly. on the
Independence League ticket she took
the stump on the East Side and made
a number of speeches in his behalf.
She declares that William Jennings
Bryan is her ideal of an orator. and in
reply TO letter from Miss Frooks, Mr.
Bryan wrote:

HIP POCKETS, USE AND ABUSE.

It is sad to see a gentleman Of Lex
ingon, Ky. going to Wild West H.
ton, written on or about Park Row,
for his facts. in a crusade to end the
batting evil Of the concealed weapon,
says the Philadelphia Times. This
gentleman is quoted in the Louisville
Courier-Jourdal as advocating, after
much dellberati3n, a law which would
make it felony for taiIors TO inco1-
porate hip-pockets in pantalOons.
Thus, according to his guB-fghting
philosophy the detail Of legislation
against an evil. would be accomplished
by going At the cause and preventing
the effect. No hip-pocket, no gun. 40
coat-tail, no concealed weapon. No
concealed weapon, no prominent citi
zens with bullets through their spleen.
It is all as simple as the cut-and-dried
advice 10 maintain Improbable sObri-
ETY. by falling to take the first drink.
As the Courier-Journal sapiently
points out, it is the veriest tyro who
caches his gun in his rear guard. At
the best, such a location is fit only for
reinforcement in battle much pro-
Ionged. But in pistol-shooting the
main thing is to draw quick-and the
draw first. To draw from the hip is
an elaborate preparation which puts
the enemy On notice and generally re-
suits in a funeral in which the floral
emblems are beautiful but unsatisfac-
tory. Far as we are from advocating
the carrying Of weapons of any sort, It
must be said TO the initiated that the
proper place to carry gun is in a
holster at the thigh, or DIETER stilD
tucked securely out Of sight beneath
the trousers and under the hem of the
vest. Thus located, the amateur has a
good chance 10 die with his pistol in
hand instead Of tangled up in the
lining Of what is enormously called
his pistol pocket" So strange, and
so deluslye, is a name.
Hip-pockets certainly have their
uses. In the South they carry what
are called deadly weapons" the Joy
Of life" "life-preservers," or whether
the fancy af the community picks as
the euphemism Of the flask that rep
resents an emergency met in honor
and triumph In Kentucky we be-
lieve, the corkscrew, shielded against
cutting the cloth, holds the post cf
honor But only the callow youth, TT
those misguided New England con-
sumptiVes who go West armed with
false fiction Of the local customs, can
afford hip-pockets, search of which
would disclose dynamite or illuminate
in any except LIQUID form.
