woman shooting her mother in
a sleeping ear because she
thought her a robber is full of mis-
fortune for the young lady, and full
Of suggestion for the rest of the
population.
Whenever there is a revolver
handy, the chances are many to
one that some one will get hurt, if
not killed. And some one else,
without evil intent, will become the
murderer of a fellow being.
Why Do We Need Them?
The sale of liquor as a national
menace has so impressed the Amer
lean people that many Of them are
neither Republicans nor Democrats
they are not even Bull Moosers.
They are Prohibitionists.
Fairly satisfactory laws govern
the sale of poison, But lit seems
absolutely easy for men. women
and children in most communities
to buy firearms. ana to MAIN or
kill through ignorance. misunder-
standing or intent.
Why do we need firearms
We do not need them-at all
events. in domestic life
The army and the police make
bad enough use of them at times.
The hunter often shoots his friends

Responsibility For Many Killings
By THOMAS TAPER.
Drawn by HAL COFFMAN

Two recent pistol shootings in
New York have become notorious
because Of the matters involved,
but little or no attention was paid
to the fact that it is as easy to get
a revolver as it is to buy a sewing
machine.
1t would be thoroughly whole

sold the revolver that was aimed at
Mr.. Roosevelt. New York city has
considered the question with some
degree of earnestness, but the bag

IN HERES a man Of sense in
America. He lives in Kansas

The other night he heard that his
seventeen year-old daughter had
gone down town to Bohemian
dinner. The man Of sense hoped
into his motor car and began look
ing for that dinner and that daugh-
ter.
It took him some little time to
find them, but he did. He arrived
at the Smart cafe" just as the
wine came on the table-the cock
tails had already gone.

The man who took the girl to the
Bohemian dinner stood up. He did
his best to look like the hero in
the last society play. "sir," said
the young man, huskily-he really
wasn't a bad fellow, but the two
cocktails had already gone to his
not overly strong head. "Sir, I

BRITISH COLONIES
 FOR PACIFIC FLEET

The decision of the colonies to build ships for the aid of Great Britain and to protect themselvse from invasion in case Britain gets into a war has been a scheme of some years growth.
 Many leading Canadians and Aus traIians took up the matter enthusias- tically but much opposition was also encountered. The outcome. however. was the appropriation for the build ing of some auxiliary vessels. Tho story that Australia and Canada will have a Pacific fleet is startlingly new development.

Sunday evening. Death is believed to
be caused by cholera. The animal
did not act as we'll as usual Saturday
but it rehearsed it's tricks and her con-

On Sunday evening when it lay down
the keepers became alarmed sit was
the first time that they had ever noticed

Alice travelled for many years with
the Sells-Forepaugh circus and was
one of the oldest and best trick ele-
plants known of. Since her birth in
the junges of India perhaps more Than
a century has elapsed. She was valued
at about $1,000. This is the third ele-

was the case, which resulted in an
