ONE UPON WHICH ALL AGREE.

Mansfield Journal: We have had all
kinds of reform, some have done good and
others that were merely visionary, but there
is one movement that could be made that
every peace-loving and law-abiding man and
woman in Louisiana will approve, and that
is some law that will eliminate the carrying
of concealed weapons. A penalty that is so
near the murder sentence that the man with
the "gun-toting'' propensity would rather
take a chance on needing the gun and not
having it, than to run the chances of being
caught with the gun, knowing the punish
ment that awaited him.

q UTE VIOLENT IS
MRS. DRJJZNINOND
In Police Court Where She is
Taken to Receive Sentence
for Misconduct.
az AsseelArEp rnsas,

LONDON. April S.-Pandem onium
reigned in Marlbough police court to-
day when General Mrs Flora Drum
mond, the. militant suffraset. was
brought up again and sentenced to
pay a fine of $40 or go to prison for
two months for creating disturbances
on Saturday.
Mrs. Drummond was so violent
that three policemen had to pinion
her and remove her hatptns before
the magistrate found opportunity
during pause in the uproad to pro-
nounce sentence. She was then
forcibly placed in a cell. All the time
Mrs. Drummond was in court she
kept up a fierce struggle with the
police and shrieked denunciations of
every one present. Selling police
mans whistle, Mrs Drummond flung
it at the magistrates head but he
lodged the missile. Taking advant-
age OF the diversion, Mrs. Drummond
then sprung from the enclosure but
she was seized before she got away.
When she had become calmer she
was released as either she or some
one else had paid her fine.

charged with having in their posses

committing a felony. The court was
crowded with women when the pris-

din that neither the magistrate nor
the prosecuting attorney could make
himself heard. The opinion was
generally expressed that orders had
been given from the militant read
quarters to the suffragets to create
similar scenes every time woman

Mr.. Barney may present to the con-
vention q matter which has been Civ
Ing the state commissions much con-
Germ. namely. the inconsistency OF the
federal system Of enforcement OF law
intended to protect the public from bad
eggs.
ITS just this way" said B. c. Iliff,
deputy commissioner IF a commits
sion house happens to get in lot OF
eggs and among them is q large pro-
portion that are spoiled, the house can
ship those eggs into Chicago and sell
them and the federal department will
not lift finger to prevent. But II he
should crack them and freeze them In
Ice and ship them. and 1t would take
microscopic examination to determine
whether or not they were bad. then the
federal department. would prosecute
promptly ana severely. The govern
nent has been going hard after the
shippers of bad eggs that are packed
end canned. but interprets the law to
leave alone the easier method of de-
ception by shipping in cases
THAT plans works out to the hard
ship of the state commissions that are
taking up the bad egg question ana
trying to solve it under state laws. 1t
is discrimination against the home
man. We are doing what we can to
keep the merchant from buying bad
eggs or If ne buys them to keep him
from selling them to the commission
house. We are trying to secure CO.
operation all along the line to the emo
Of protecting everybody. But if the
federal government refuses to pros
ecute where shipment has crossed
stale line, we are all under handi-
cap in our law enforcement"
It is this phase of the situation that
is to be brought to the attention of the
convention at Portland. There is de-
sire that the government shall coop
crate more fully with the state COM
missions and be more consistent in its
effort to prevent traffic in bad eggs.
