The question OF whether all citi-
Gems shall be permitted to carry wea-
pons on their persons is pressing for
solution. II such was the habit there
would be a great reduction in crimes
of robbery with violence. If every
footpad and holdup knew that his pro-
posed victim was probably armed with
an efficient weapon the number of at
tacks would be greatly reduced. The
only effect OF the law against carry
ing concealed weapons Is to the put
the law abiding citizen at the mercy
Of the thug.-Tampa Times.
The above Is the opinion OF about
four law abiding citizens In every five
but for some reason most OF them are
afraid to come out and say so. A
stronger argument against the law Is
that it is a long step in the direction
Of disarming the people and putting
them at the mercy OF an office holding
class. We have only to look at the re-
suits OF that policy in other countries
to apprehend 1t in our own.
