Almost every day we are having
most striking Illustrations Of the ter
rible consequences of carrying con-
cealed weapons. Some Of these illus
trations are too horrible to contem-
plate, and we would not refer to them
save for the hope Of creating such a
strong public sentiment as to have
the law against carrying pistols strict
ly enforced. Last week in Charleston
even in the committee room, where the
executive committee had met for the
purpose Of declaring the result Of the
election, men We're armed to the teeth
and, in all probability filled with IL
quor it did not require a great deal
to provoke them to pull their deadly
weapons and open fire with the result
that several were wounded, and one
excellent young man lost his life. The
murder Of this young man is enough tc
arouse the whole state and cause it tC
make the demand that the law agains
carrying the deadly murderous pistol:
! shall be enforced. We see no reason
why it should not be done. While We
are congratulating ourselves upon th'
prospect of better times in Charleston
it would be good thing if we shoult
do all that we can to have all tn,
laws, in every part of the state, strict
ly enforced. We believe that senti
ment along this line is growing. anc
that while public officials may b.
criticised by some people for enforcing
laws where they are offenders, Their
are thousands who most heartily ap
prove of their course and who are read,
to give them all the support neces

DR.. YAMEl KIN TALKS
Chinese Woman Physician Gives Hs
Views on Suffrage.

Chinese Woman Physician Gives Her
Views on Suffrage.
If American women, when they be-
gan their struggle for the ballot, had
begun instead to train their boy chill
dren in the proper consideration OF
women, their sex would now have
equality as a matter Of course, says
Dr. Yamei Kin, China's foremost
woman physician, who is in this
country on furlough for a year.
Not that DR.. Kin isn't a believer IN
suffrage.
Women ought to have the ballot
she said, for the sense Of responsible
ty it will give them. When they vote
they can't say of this or that law, oh,
well, l can't help that; it's bad, but /
have nothing to do with the making OF
the laws Woman's vote won't make
much difference in conditions, for they
will vote just about as men do, but
it will make q vast difference in wo-
men,"
DR.. Kin's opinion is based on obser-
yation, for she came from China by
way of California and spent some time
there. She brought away a few
qualms on the subject Of what the
franchise will do to women.
I'm afraid the women who go into
politics will get hard and tricky" she
said. "Of course women will want
to hold office and they ought to. Wo-
men are splendid in administrative and
detail work, as their service on hos
pital boards, etc., shows. But admin
istrative work is one thing and poll
tics is another. I suppose, however,
that the women who get tricky in poll
tics would be tricky in some other
work If they weren't in politics.
Women certainly have lot to learn
if they're going into the political game.
In California / met Mrs. Helen Will
liams, who ran for lieutenant COVER
nor there. She told me that when the
nomination was forced upon her she
felt as helpless as baby. She didn't
know one thing that she ought to do.
The men had to tell her"
DR.. Kin spoke at the Connecticut
suffrage convention on October 20, but
aside from that she is not going to
take any part in the movement. She
refused an invitation to march in the
suffrage parade today.
81 have a very liberal feeling toward
those who like to march in parades,"
she said, but I don't. I never would
walk in a parade in China, and why
should I here?"
The so-called woman suffrage move
ment in China has collapsed, DR.. Kin
said.
"It was forced thing, worked up
thing, which made a good deal Of
noise, but meant nothing. Men don't
vote in China; they are not ready for
it yet. Yuan Shih-kai Is preparing
the monarchy so that when the Chinese
people are ready for freedom the thing
can be done without jar."-New York
Sun.
