Pistol Toting and Homicides

In Chief Bodeker's excellent address
before the Peoples Forum on Sunday
he said that he had absolutely no
sympathy with the gun-toter, and that
such persons go to Jail whenever he
can get his hands on them. He attrib-
uted the large number of homicides in
Jefferson county to pistol toting. "If,' .
he went on to say, "a man caught car
rying concealed weapons were given a
stiff sentence, and that sentence was
not repealed by the higher courts on
various technicalities, it would go a
great way in lessening the carrying
of concealed weapons, and therefore
the temptation to shoot whenever
somebody steps on your toes. Instead
of shooting man full of holes and be-
ing shot full of holes yourself when
ever difference of opinion arises, |
Advocate going back to the old Eng
lish method of taking off your coat
and whip the other man or get
Whipped; then shake hands and be
good friends. Investigation has proven
that homicides are caused because of
carrying pistols and using them rather
than our fists to settle our squabbles. .
Chief Bodeker is no amateur, no
novice. He has studied crime long and
deeply and he knows where the real
trouble lies. The gun-toter is pri-
marily responsible and the technical
seeking court comes in as an assistant.

Pictures and Art Treasures

The wonderful collection of paint
ings. miniatures, porcelains and other
works of art belonging to the late j..
Pierpont Morgan were left with a
string tied to them. They become the
absolute property of the testator's
son. and in case of his death, of his
grandson, who is a youth in Harvard
university.
But, says Mr.. Morgan in his wilt,
sshould either my said son or my
said grandson thus succeed to the
ownership of these collections, hope
he will be able, in such manner as he
shall think best, to make permanent
disposition, or from time to time per-
manent dispositions of them or Of
such portions of them as he may de-
termine which will be a substantial
carrying out of the intentions which l
have thus cherished" The Intentions"
referred to is declared in the will to
have been desire to make disposi-
ton of them that would render them
permanently available for the in
struction and pleasure of the Ameri-
can people"
The city of New York is now en-
gagged in building in Central park a
double wing as an addition to the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art. This was
done with the knowledge and consent
of the late Mr.. Morgan, who was then
the president of the art museum.
There is therefore little reason for
doubling what the permanent dispo-
sition of the collection will be.
It will constitute a great memorial
TO the generous testator, costing as it
undoubtedly did over the sum of $780,
100000. The residuary legatee no
doubt will see that the intention of his
father is fully carried out. He was
trained by his father to the banking
business and the integrity of the faith
er was no doubt instilled in the son.
The American people can rest content
under the terms of the will.

MOTORING AROUND THE STATES

Thomas w. Wilby, in the Wide World
Magazine.
1.-TWO facts dominated my mind when
in the autumn of 1911 1 decided to

United States. / wanted TO see the coun-
try, and particularly the west, apart from
the train. l knew that no one else had

in 70 days. What laurels, then. could
another Britisher win?

defined as the art of crossing America
from ocean to ocean in an automobile,

My route. as / laid it out. was to take
me from New York across the prairies of

and the Rockies thence through the
Sierra Neyadas into California. and on to
San Francisco. This is what is known
as the overland or middle west route. L
then intended to follow the Pacific slope
to San Diego, and return through Inn
perlal valley and the Great American
desert of the southwest by way of Flag
staff, Santa Fe, Kansas City and WASH
ington. Though there was no continuous
highway along these routes, there We're at
least recognized trails, and it seemed
to me that those trails which had formed
the natural routes of buffalo. Indian and
pioneer from time immemorial would af-
ford the best and most direct way to the
chief points of interest. History and
tradition, the desert and the wilderness.

Tariff Debate in the House

About tomorrow the real fight over
the Underwood tariff bill will be be-
gun in Congress. The bill is now
backed by the democratic party and
the Wilson administration winch
stands at the head Of that party
Nothing else win be discussed in the
House until the tariff bill is passed.
Thesdebate will be fierce, but the real
battle will be behind the scenes. The
manufacturing trusts are hurrying
their lobbyists to Washington and the
formation of combines will be begun
at once, and it will go on until the
bill is sent to the President. Nothing
can be accomplished by the lobbyists
in the House and their work will be
concentrated upon the Senate.
And vet there are 81 democrats in
the Senate, and the Underwood tariff
simply meets and makes good the
tariff pledges of the Baltimore con-
vention. Can one of the 81 afford to
vote to violate those pledges in any
particular?
The fierceness of a tariff struggle
is not understood at this distance from

Mr.. Perkins Appreciation

residential section. He spoke OF BIZ

HOW RED CROSS WORKS

From the Survey.
A young man who appeared to be
poorly paid clerk came to the Red Cross
office in New York at the noon hour
last Friday and pulled from his pocket
a five dollar and a one dollar bill. The
person in charge asked him If he was
not giving more than his share, and sug-
gested that he keep the one dollar bill.
No" said he, I've kept some smaii
change for carfare and lunch, and to-
rnorrow's pay day One letter accom-
panying a small contribution read:
Just one short year ago. when the i'll
fated Titanic deprived me of mine all,
the Red Cross society lost not mo-
nent in coming to my aid. Through
you I now wish to give my widows
mite to help the stricken ones in the
west, and / only wish I could make it
a thousand times as much"
How are Red Cross funds spent? Spon-
taneous contributions through variety
of channels are usually sufficient for I'M
mediate needs, and the Red Cross fol-
lowed its customary policy of reserving
as much of its funds as possible for per-
manent rehabilitation.
In the flood and tornado stricken re-
gions the Red Cross has given splendid
evidence of the effectiveness of its scheme
of organization and of its methods as
worked out on the basis of experience
at San Francisco, and as tested by the
Minnesota and Michigan forest fires. the
Cherry mine disaster and the Mississippi
foods of last year.
When disaster comes in any part OF
the country the nearest institutional
members" of the Red Cross-the largest
and ablest charity organization through
out the country-at once dispatch trained
members of their staffs to the scene.
Each organization has an emergency
box containing, convenient for carrying,
an equipment including detailed printed
instructions, record cards, Red Cross flag,
expense sheets, vouchers, etc. The use
OF this equipment, especially the uniform
record cards, which have been carefully
prepared on the basis of the San Fran
cisco experience, means that help is not
lest or wasted, but gets to the people
who need 1t most Even more import
ant, it means that help is given not
merely to keep victtsrs of the disaster
from starvation and exposure during the
weeks Immediately following, but to af-
fcrds reasonable lift on the road to
the recovery of the standard of living
maintained before the disaster.

Republican Bluff

democratic tariff revision bill. If passed In
anything like its present form, will beneht
a vastly larger number of people than
1t will hurt" said Edmund W. Stoddard
of Philadelphia.
II used to vote the republican ticket,
but last November I voted for Colonel
Roosevelt. The republican high tariff
.beneficiaries are making a great bluff by
saying that the business world will be
ruined if the democrats pass the measure
that is now before the House. That Is to
be expected from the politicians who are
opposed to the democratic party. Busl-
ness conditions today are sound and as
far as I can learn very few business men
are disturbed over the tariff question. "

FLYING A VERY ANCIENT SPORT

Henry E. Dudeney in the Strand.
IN 1883, NJ. G. Tissandier appears to
have been the first to apply an cleo
tric motor to balloons, although Proc
tor thought in the following year that
the navigation of these things was quite
impossible But there exist illustrations
| of two earles conceptions. OF dirigipie
balloons. The first is the one proposed py
Green in 1910 for voyage cross the AT

vauxhall Gardens in 1S43, is remarkable
for it's resemblance to the modern dirig-
| ible airship. having a rudder and pro-
peller complete.
But let us pass to the heavier-than-air
flying machine, as being perhaps one OF
the most modern" of all Inventions. In
the very earliest times men have con-
ceived the idea of flying with wings ike
birds. There is no reason whatever 10
doubt the fact that Archytas of Taren-
tum (about 1894 years before the Christian
era) constructed an automaton pigeon
! that would fly. Cardan, the mathemati-
clan d5Ol-1576), says: 'sThere is no rea-
son why such machine should not be put
in motion, especially by favorable
breeze The lightness of the body would
contribute to this result, as would the
| largeness of the wings and the strength Of
the wheels; and probably the dove could
take its flight in certain fashion. but
with wavering motion, like the flicker
