A FOOLISH SUGGESTION
(Times-Union)

Mayor Harrison, of Chicago. talks
arrant nonsense when in connection
with the shooting of Roosevelt he says:
ut is an outrage to allow man to get
off with a small fine when he is arrest
ed for carrying a weapon. He should
be given the extreme penalty" When
public man is assassinated or an at
tempt is made to assassinate him the
public goes wild and INDUCES in such
asinine talk but nothing that has been
said or will be said will be more palpa-
bly, absurd than the mayors comment.
If man sane or insane is so set on
killing a public official that he will
shoot him in public and thereby incur
the penalty of death would he be de-
TERED from his act by the rigid en-
forcement of the law against carrying
concealed weapons? If the fear of
death is not sufficient to deter him
would he be deferred by the fear of a
hundred dollar fine or a month in
prison?
The outrage is the proposition to de-
prive a man of a right the constitution
guarantees him. The constitution
guarantees to every American citizen
the right to carry arms. The trainers
OF the constitution supposed this was a
safeguard of liberty. Arms in the
hands OF tyrants have controlled and
oppressed disarmed peoples. The franz
ers of the constitution wishes the Am
erican people to be able to take care
of themselves.
There is no reason on earth to believe
the man who shot Roosevelt habitually
carried weapons. He carried the
weapon in this case for the purpose for
which he used 1t. The law against car
rying concealed weapons or law
against carrying concealed weapons at
all would not have influenced him in
the slightest degree, and the law
against carrying concealed weapons
will have little effect unless the au-
thorities search the people and confis-
cate all arms. Not one time in a hun
dred is man who carries weapons
concealed found with them on his per-
son and If he is a prominent man and
is known to have weapon on his per-
son the chances are that nothing would
be said about 1t.
The offense of carrying concealed
weapons is very difficult of detection.
1t cannot be found out at all unless
there is known reason why he should
be searched. Unless he is already
under the suspicion of the police ir Is
never known that he hads weapon
until he uses it. If the easily proved
fact that he has used it and the death
punishment for using 1t is not sufficient
to deter him the law against carrying
concealed weapons. an offense that will
not be proved against him one time in
a hundred and when proved will entail
only slight punishment, will not deter
him.
The law doesn't disarm the law
breakers but does disarm the law
abiding man and puts him at the mercy
of the criminal-Times- Union.

The humorist, like the poet, must
have his license, hence the Ocala Star
should not take too seriously that yarn
in the Saturday Evening Post about
the Florida lawyer who "stood of" the
mob seeking to lynch a negro murder
er. but agreed to help on the job later
on IL the court failed to convict the
criminal. Doubtless the story was an
invention, but there was no spirit OF
SANDER or defamation in 1t. and 1t had
humorous point-Lakeland Telegram.
Let not the Telegram be perturbed
about the Star. which did not take the
Posts yarn one-tenth as seriously as
other people in other states will. The
humor in the story is only family per-
ceptible. and 1t had not even the merit
of being an invention, as 1t was told
on a number of western towns thirty
or forty years ago.

norts OF the good work OF the boys

Joseph w. Dodge, a former member
OF the Blade staff, writes from Ocala,
Fla, that he is well located there, but
still has pleasant remembrances of
Scioto county.-Portsmout o., Daily
Blade.
Mr.. Dodge, who is at the head OF the
Dodge Sign Co., put in some years of
his eventful life as a newspaper re-
porter, and often yet writes items for
different publications. Mr. Dodge is
such quiet little man that only a
few OF his most intimate friends know
that he once was a featherweight box
er OF considerable note He did not
make profession of it, but often en-
tered the ring for the sake OF the sport
He received much of his instruction in
the art from the principal trainer of
Mike Schreck.

Some OF the papers which support
ed Mr.. Underwood in the spring pri-
maries are now printing with great
glee the statement that only $4,000
was spent in the interest of his candi-
dacy, while 20s,000 was spent in the
same season for Wilson. But they for
get, perhaps unintentionally, that I'm
derwood's supporters worked for him
in only six or seven states, while Will
sons worked in all the states and
presented his claims to about ten times
as many people. The Star doubts the
statement that Underwoods friends
only spent $4,000 for him. If that was
the amount of their investment Florida
received much more than its pro rata.
