STOP "GUN TOTlNG"

Texas used to be represented in
nickel literature and pictured in the
community's imagination as the para
disc of the "gun toter," the place
where everybody pulled" on sight
and shot from the hip. Perhaps Texas
was, once, just as careless with its
artillery as its reputation assumed;
but if so, its latter-day suppression of
gunnery practice shows the tendency
of extremes to alternate Texas is
one of the States where it is most
difficult to get or lug gun, because
Texas has learned the lesson and en-
forced rigorous laws against that
sort of thing.
Wherefore the "gunman" has ceas-
ed to be a picturesque adornment of
frontier literature, and has been
transplanted to the metropolitan
areas. We read of him operating in
New York, not in San Antonio. His
activities have become so far men
ace to the community that the demand
for his suppression is now vocaliZed
from the metropolis, with the insist
ence that Federal law against pistol
carrying be passed.
New York passed law which has
made it well-nigh impossible to buy
and sport a revolver or pistol. But it
is of little practica! effect because the
bad man with trouble in his system
has but to run over into Jersey or in
to Connecticut to get an arsenal suited
to his purpose. Chief City Magistrate
McAdoo of New York, who knows how
general the toting habit is and how
much crime it induces, has taken up
the effort to create sentiment in favor
of national law against carrying
concealed weapons.
The modern automatic magazine
revolver, with a silencer attached is
about the most wicked instrument that
cowardice, malice andcussednessc
possibly wish. 1t is so dangerous to
the decent community, so well adapt
ed to conceal and protect the criminal,
that there seems little chance of sup
pressing its evil work, short of for
bidding its manufacture. Why not?
The internal revenue tax on alcoholic
liquors is pretty effectively enforced;
II would be no harder to enforce re-
strictions on the making and sale of
dangerous weapons. Prohibition might
ever be made to prohibit in this case
There are doubtless some few proper
uses to which a revolver may be put,
but they are not many. The average
gun kept in a home or office as a
means of defense is not needed, and it
is a good deal more a danger than
protection to its owner. A man has
about a hundred times as much chance
to lose his life by accident as he has to
save it by reason Of keeping a weapon
at hand.-Ex.

weeks ago by the supposed heirs when
the fraud was discovered. The plot,
according to Marshal of Police Carter,
of Baltimore, was laid in Almosa, Col,
when the Marshal received a letter
asking for information of descendants
of the Price family who lived in Balti-

DardaneBIes Said t0 Have Been Prom i>cd SIays If Allies Win.

Petrograd, May 4.-Thcre is no longer any doubt in the public mind her that the allies reached com p;cte agreement some time ago to the effect that in case the enta1te powers are victorious Russia is to have pos session of the Dardanelles, after tie wal Professor Miliukoff the Liberal leader, sTeakirg in the Duma this week. made the assurance of such aH agreement difi@ite when he said:
 The end of March, 1915, is date which is well worthy of remember ancc by the Russian people. This is ile 'date wheC a definite agreement was reached between us and our al lies regarding rhe future of the Oar danelles."
 Miliukog is the creator of the progressive bioc," the greatest force in Russian politics today, and is clos ely affiliated with the Foreign Office. In the course of his speech, ~nicn was reported ~erbatim in all the Pet rograd newspapers, he said:
 Our Russian interest in this war can be defined 5ary briefly: We need all outlet to a free sea, We did not begin the war for this; but without it We shall not aud t.

 You can say 70 me, If Turkey had been wiser We could not possibly then have realized tli5 aim We would have had to wait But when Liman von Sanders entered Constantinople. when the Turkish war minister became the servant of Germany and the Turkish fleet became controlled by the Ger mans, the whole situation changed We fully realize what is the plan of Germany, and for what she is carry ing on this whole war It is clear to everybody that in the case of victory Germany would create in Europe central state and would capture or subjugate Turkey, economically, and then politically. Berlin to Bagdad' that is the German idea; and since it has been created We have no other choice. The question now it not whether the Straits will become Rus sian or remain Turkish; the question is whether they will become Russian or will remain German.
 We must make no mistake The question which We are now deciding will probably be decided forever, but there will scarcely ever be such fav- orable conditions as there are now. The chief of these conditions Is the attitude of our allies toward our nat ional problem.
