a Needed Law.

State Senator ID. L, Woodward OF
Benton. announced to The Bulletin
that he Is introducing before the
General Assembly a bill tn which
the carrying OF concealed deadly
weapons Is made a felony The
measure provides severe punishment
for offenders. ranging from fines and
Jail sentences to penitentfary tern
This announcement should strike
tsrror to the hearts of the gun
toters," otherwise known as bad
nlen," who doubtless have been res
sponsible Tor more shooting scrapes
than the burglars and highwaymen
combined
Under the proposed law, the "bad
man. would constantly face the I'M
pleasant alternative or leaving his
arsenal at home. or facing arrest
and trial on a felony charge, with
the prospect or serving term In
one OF the penitentiaries. The Law
surely would work q hardship on the
bad man, for how can a "bha
man exist without pistol, dirk or
blackjack concealed in his cloth
ing.
There is no other state in the
union, IL Is said, that possesses such
multitude Of vicious .'gun toters
as Illinois. Chicago has an army OF
..toters.' who start out as mere bad
men, and wind up as auto bandits.
second-story men or strong arm
robbers. Cairo has its share OF bad
men and with such a law as pro-
yided in Senator Woodward's bill
the police would be able TO cope with
the bad actors. Following a re-
cent murder committed in Cairo, the
police dragnet was thrown out and
many negro suspects were arrested.
Nearly every one of the prisoners
carried some sort OF deadly
weapon concealed in his clothing.
There doubtless will be some oppo-
sition to the measure, because OF
the fact that the law will be gem
orally observed by the law abiding
citizens and ignored by the crimi
nal element This was the objec-
ton raised when a similar law was
proposed in Missouri. but the oppo-
sition was overcome and as the re-
suit, the penitentiary of the State
Is now housing scores OF criminals
who were convicted under the CON
cealed weapon law.
The law does not take away the
rights Of any respectable citizen. l.
y law abiding man mas reasons to be-
Ueve that his lie Is. in danger and
arms himself, 1t would be foolish
70 say that he would be punished as
crook and sent to the penitentiarv.
1t will, however, curb the tendency
OF the younger element 10 carry
deadly weapons in spirit OF
brayado and II vii also place the
authorities in such a position that
they viii be able to OBTAIN ADEQUATE
punishment for men with criminal
records who are arrested for carry
ing concealed weapons.
i is to be hoped that Senator
Woodward's measure win meet with
success. The decent people Of Illt-
nois have long been in need of such
protection.
