There are. Of course. laws concerning the
sale and handling OF explosives. That they
are needed ia every year shown by the fate
# hundreds who disregard them. That they
should be more strictly enforced is clearly In
dcated by such circumstances as the blowing
up Of barge full Of the material in New York

which show conclusiveiy how dynamite was
bought on the most amsy excuses and then
carried in passenger trains from one end Of the
country to the other. In both of these cases

sirictest investigation ana the courts the duty
of deterrent punishment TO those guilty.

open handed individual surrounded by a crowd
OF young women personally tagging him for
gain. The association had advertised its APP
zeal. had stated its purpose. had declared its
