Carving Concealed W.apons

The recommendation of Cior .rnor Hunt to the legislature that the crime of carrying concealed weapons should be made a felony ought be favoraby and quickly upon. We believe the recommendation will have the hearty approval of all good citizens. The minimum penalty should be sufficiently should carry much obloquy with it, that it would act a deterrent, so that the average citizen would no more pack gun" than he would steal horse. Our law this subject at present is joke which is generally intensified by the execution of the law.

 He said the other day that he is the only fool his family has ever produced If there bitterness in this statement, his quick laugh and accustomed boast of unusual skill in getting out of staying cooped up in schoor disguised it.
 His father and grandfather were honor men of their classes, and The Foo' child had talked confidently of the time when he would equal their records at the same big college By way of making that easy, he continuously honor boy in his grade school work-that is, until he 13 years old.

The Middle Man
(BOSton Transcript


 Is the middle man in danger? A bill passed the senate some time providing for bureau markets. Its purpose to bring producers together, in other words, follow the markets so closely that those who had sell should be put more promptly and directly in with those who wished to buy. It was claimed by its advocates that a billion dollars worth agricultural products go to annually this country for want of a market, and it is believed that such bureau would effect a great reduction of this
 The agricultural committee of the house has agreed, unanimously, to report it. and it has a good prospect of getting through this session. There are movements in many cities for the estab- Hshment of public markets. One has been started in Providence, and the matter is before the legislature. In Dayton. Ohio three mornings of the week the farmers market is open for long distance along of it's business streets, and an- other municipal market has been opened in the resi- dental district The grocers largely confining their activities to canned goods and other staples in which the farmer does deal.
 Thus in good many places there is rather marked tendency toward the elimination of the middle man; yet in these busy days there still very who will continue find him very convenient.

A Court on the Defensive

It might have happened in Russia; we hardly thought it could take place in Kansas City. We referring the contempt proceedings against Col. William R. Nelson. owner of the Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Times,
 Col Nelson adjudged be guilty Nof con- tempt by Judge Guthrie, who believe that his court had been "sneered The dis tinguished editor who was not likely aware that the alleged offense had committed until it was brought to his attention, sentenced to jail In the proceedings all that possible to humilate him and hasten him to jail and, accord ing the dispatches of yesterday was disclosed that trickery resorted quash a habeas corpus that had been issued his behalf.
 The contempt proceedings based a report printed Star a divorce case Judge Guthrie's The plaintiff, a who had become reconciled her husband. desired to dis miss the case The court ordered, on the motion of her attorney, that the husband should pay his wife's attorneys fees first. Another attorney and still another forward claiming represent the plaintiff and their claims included in the general order.

 The proceedings in this contempt have done in Kansas City to rob the courts of popular respect a violent and concerted campaign of abuse by all the newspapers of that city could do in years.

The Income Tax

The principle of the income tax Monday became a part of the constitution of the United States and we will almost certainly have in- come tax before the close of the forthcoming special session of congress.
 Everything is brought about in it's own good time. Probably before in the history of this country there a time when congress could have been forced to submit this constitutional amend ment to the legislatures. Men with large incomes more powerful than the people, powerful enough strange the resolution in congress.
 Twenty years ago had income tax law but the bill plainly unconstitutional, in that violation of the clause No capitation direct be laid unless in proportion to the enumeration" that opponents of it did not as vigorously oppose the passage of it they would otherwise have done.
 Since then congressman have sought to vince their constituents of their loyalty by propos- ing bills, knowing that the fatal obstacle still remained.

MT. Bryan Warns His Party
CLOS Angeles Tribune)

IrlDune)
 MT. Bryan is giving the democracy some good advice these days. He is infallibe, but most of his advice is good That is because his instincts are clean and moral, and he has kept in with the people. In his Commoner he now advising the party to put aside the seniority rule in both houses of congress. The party will do well heed
 It was seniority that made Joseph G. Cannon speaker of the house. It made Payne chairman of the ways and means committee and Tawney chair man of the committee appropriations It made first eutenants of Watson, Dalzell, Mckinley Mann In short, it created the Cannon the end it wrecked the republican party.
 It is natural for seniority to be the rule. The oldest members know the ropes best. have the largest acquaintance, and have learned the most parliamentary tricks. Green" members defer to the older Hence the seniority tendency simply follows the line of least resistance But it is for fraught with danger to the party
 Already it has loaded Underwood a reactionary and self-seeker, on the party. Others the house machine will bear watching The party will be wise if it listens to Bryan.
