Perilous Trade of Smuggling Arms on the Wane Be- cause of Government
 Activity.
PROFIT IS ENORMOUS
RevOlutionists in South and Central America and Warlike Arabs are Good Customers of the Gun
 Traders.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Below the horizon of the Seven Seas there are disappearing with more and more frequency each year, ships of a trade which the government of the United States has prescribed
 They are gun runners" There's an occupation almost as risky as that of the privateer of old. They are the harpies that circle around re- welt infested republic, bearing car goes of munitions of war to foment tlic killing and the slaughter.
 Put the Department of Justice, here in Washsngton-a department of whose activities less is really known than even the Secret Service-backed by international pact and neutrality agreements, has placed the ban on this form of marine activity.
 But not alone hy sea is the peril Ous trade of the gun runner piled. On land he is often found-more fre-
 
 slipping across international borders with pack trains of mules, laden with innocent boxes marked machinery
 Now, more so than ever, is the Department of ustice equiped to cope with such activities. "Set thief to catch a thief,'' is an old adage. Set "gun-man' to catch desperado, is a modern version of this adage, which has been adopted by many municipalities, whose sheriffs and deputies are often men with long records as "killers The Department s of Justice also has adopted this plan in handling the intricate, and often : dangerous, details of guarding the borders. It is said, although few men < outside of the officials of the. depart ment can identify them-that the de- partment today has in its employ half a dozen men whose speed with a single action forty-five,' whose bravery in the face of fire, whose record for shooting first is proverbial and whose early lives were spent in the Southwest in the days when mans best friend was his Colt.
 But to get back to the gun runners A year or so ago. when the Mexican revolution was in it's height a swarthy visitor from across the Rio G ande slipped into New York one < day, gave rush order for 16,000 rifles of new and improved pattern, and left again for Mexico.
 Of course the United States, through the agents of the Department of Justice, with headquarters here, were notified, and a strong watch was set along the banks Of the little stream in Southern Texas, which is the international border. But it did little good. Within forty-eight hours { of their arrival at the Rio Grande, on a cloudy night, the guns were whlsk- ed across the border despite the vigil lance of the guards, and with these weapons, the Madero party won its way to Mexico City.
 In New York, these guns were pur-

started work this morning at The AS

Town Stock Law.

Our Legislature enacted law
some years ago which is called tht.
stock law. 1t soon took root in oui
county and has been slowly max
ing its way over the county and it
is now only question of time
when it will strike our corporation
line and then it will be up to the
town to fence their cattle in or
make a public fence at a cost Of
perhaps thousands of dollars. 1t
perhaps never has occurred to the
owners of stock that when they
turn their stock out they at once
go on to the property of some one
else to Craze and ofttimes break
down their fences, damaging their
crops. The Hubbards and other
land owners have been furnishing
free grazing for town stock FOR
years. 1t is to be regretted that
some of our citizens have made
the matter personal when such a
thing was not dreamed of by the
the parties who first advocated the
matter for our town. They should
be willing to accord to their neigh
Dor the right opinions on all such
matters. According to my views
of the matter it is only a question
of time when it will be the law of
the town If not now The f,arties
who took the lead in bringing the
matter up at this time were actu-l
ated by what they conceived to be
for the public good. 1t is true
our public square and streets look
pretty bad but don let us use them
any longer as a horse lot and COW
pen. AT any rate let us all be
sweet about it. G p Hammerly
