GRAND JURY FILES
IT'S final REPORT
RETURNS IS INDICTMENTS
RECOMMENDS ELECTION BAL
LOTS BE PRESERVED AT
LEAST SIX MONTHS.

Returning four additional indict-
ments, making total of 10 for the
term, the Faulkner county grand jury
filed its final report and adjourned this
morning. One Of the indictments was
for felony.
The report in full is as follows
To, the Honorable Eugene Landlord,
Judge OF the Seventeenth Judicial
District:
We, the grand jury impaneled to
serve at the July term of the Faux
ner circuit court, beg to submit the
following report, to-wit:
We have examined 92 duly subpoe-
naed witnesses and have had seven
voluntary statements. We have re-
turned Is true bills and have dismiss
ed seven cases that have been brought
to our notice, several of which were
referred to this grand jury from the
January term of this court.
COUNTY JAIL.
The grand jury in body visited the
county Jail and found that it is in
good condition, with the exception of
the toilet room. We would recommend
that this be looked into Immediately,
and that the toilet room be placed in
sanitary condition.
COUNTY POOR FARM.
The committee appointed to visit
and examine the poor farm found that
it is in reasonably good condition,
but we recommend that they have a
little more ventilation in the build
ings.
PUBLIC ROADS.
We find that some of the public
roads have been neglected, and we rec
ommend that some of the overseers
look after their roads more closely
during the summer months so they will
be passable in the fall and winter. We
wish to call the county judges atten-
ton to some of the overseers who fail
to work the roads or fill in the large
! holes during the winter and spring
months
COUNTY OFFICERS.
| The committee appointed to lnvestl-
gate the accounts of the county off,
GERS find that all the county officers
have made their reports; that the JUS
tees of the peace have filed their re-
ports with the county clerk and that
the constables have paid over the mon
ey as the law requires. We get this
information from the commissioners
of accounts who we believe have made
thorough investigation, after taking
this matter up with them.
| IN THE MATTER OF ELECTION FRAUD.
We have made thorough investiga-
ton of the rumors of the election
fraud and find that it was the custom
of the canvassing committee to de-
stroy the poll book and ballots after
the vote had been canvassed, and on
| that account we were unable to pro-
coed further. We recommend that the
ballots be preserved for period of at
! least six months.
We wish to thank the court, the
prosecuting attorney and the county
officers for the courtesies and assist
ance during our short session here.

Appropriations for four new reve.

cutters should be replaced by the most
modern mechanism obtainahle ana a.
constant radio watch should be main
tained. The current appropriation, he
points out. permits only two wireless
operators on each cutter and three are
necessary for continuous service.
The functions Of the revenue cutter
service have grown since its estab-
lishment in 179o-113. ysarssago-un-
til today they include a variety Of ac-
tivities ranging from the assistance
OF vessels in distress and the enforce
ment OF cutsoms and nayigations laws
to the suppression Of mutinies. Two
muttntes were quelfed by the cutters
during last ycar-one on the Haitian
gunhoat Fcrrier in Charleston. S. C.,

guayan bark l3roma in Mobile Bay.
Smuggling has decreased in recent
years. Capt. Bertholf declares, be-
cause OF the vigilant patrol of the
revenue cutters. This armed coast.
guard is a deterrent and without it
smuggling would again spring into ex-

tative Sherwood Of Ohio and a few
other democrats are making p deter.
mined effort to curtail the %appropria-
ton to be made for naval construc-
ton. Some among their number are
said to be pledged to vote for no bat
tleships this year. Others are dis
posed to allow for one and some even
go so far as to intimate a Willingness
to vote for two. Experts on naval af-
fairs contend that three should be au-
thor'zed In order to keep the navy up
to the proper standard of efficiency.
President Taft recently called atten-
ton to the fact that the attitude as.
sumed by some members Of congress
recently has resulted in the American
navy going from second to fifth place
among those Of the world.
1t is not particularly important what
position u navy occupies on the
world list. The important point is that
it should be efficient and in accord.

The experience Of Oklahoma with
bank deposit guarantees is 80 unsatis-
factory that within the past year
seventy state hanks have organized as
national banks in order to escape the
burden which the guarantee imposes
on the state banks: The banking bust
ness Of the entire state has been prac-
ticallv wrecked by the system. and
yet an effort is being made at Wash
ington to renew the movement for the
application Of the guarantee to nation
al banks. When the discussion was
new there was a good deal Of uncer.
taiuty about it. but after it has been
tried out in Oklahoma with such un-

is remote from civilization Of any
kind. and utterly out Of reach Of the
Peruvian government, which is sit

the rubber district is on the opposite

situation differs from that In the Con-

PISTOL ToT1NG.

Public authorities having to deal
with crime and criminals are trying to
devise some method which will put a
stop to the a~boninable practice of pis-
toll toting. \ good many of the states
have general laws against the carry
ing of concealed weapons. and nobody
pays any attention to such laws. The
they are too general in their terms and
fail to discriminate between those who
have legitimate uee for a pocket weap-
on as a means Of protection from at
tacks which they have reasons to
fear. and the thug whose only use for
a u is to use it as a means Of ter
rifying or numbering his victim.
The city Of New York has been en-
p~erimenting with the so-called Sulli-
van law which Was intended TO put
a stop to the evils Of gun carrying
without interfering with the legitimate
ownership Of weapons of protection.
Apparently the law has not worked
we'll. Most of the city papers denounce
II, and say that it merely prevents
the respectable citizen from owning a
revolver. while it places only a slight
obstacle in the way of the possession
Of a revolver by any crook who chooses
10 buy one.
II is evident that something should
he done. AT the present time, in near.
~ any community, any stranger can
buy A pistol at will, put it in his peck.
ct, and walk about unmolested. The
average quiet citizen does not carry a
revolver and if he chances to be
caught at night in a lonely spot he is
at the mercy of the villain who has
taken the precaution to arm himself.
One proposed law. entirely different
from the Sullivan law. provides that
no person not a citizen Of the United
States shall carry a revolver In a pub
Tic place under any circumstances;
hat no person e sixteen years of
shall carry any loaded pistol con.
cealed upon his person without a writ
ten license therefor issued by a proper
authority: that every dealer shall keep
a record Of all sales Of firearms which
ma. he concealed upon the person,
With the name and address of the per.
son to whom sold. In addition there
are provisions designating conditions
which aggravate the offense Of viola
tinns Of the various sections. The law
is proposed by the United States Re-
volver Association" an institution
with which we are not familiar, but
after glancing over the proposed law
We confess that We dc not think much
Of it. It contains no prohibition of
the carrying Of pistols by persons un-
der sixteen, and it does not require
a dealer to satisfy himself that the
address given by the applicant for a
revolver is his real address. OF course
without such requirement that provis.
ION is worthless, for all that the hold
up artist needs to do is to say that his
name is John Smith. and that he lives
at number 2e7 Blank street, and that
settles II.
There is need for a law which will
prohibit absolutely the carrying Of
dangerous weapons by children, and
which will make It impossible for an
unknown transient to buy a weapon,
and which will make It a crime for
him to carry one
