The Revolver Again.
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Some time ago | wrote an article about
THE Boy and the Revolver" emphasizing
the evil of the combination.
A gentleman writes me some interest
ing things in this connection. Two or
three years ago he made bet with a
friend, the conditions of which were
these:
A thorough search was to be made
through the files of New York newspa-
pers in the public library. If this showed
that one burglar was killed or injured to
ten other persons innocent bystanders
or members of the family, by privately
owned deadly weapons, A was to pay b
the sum of 500.
The papers selected were the two hav-
ing the largest circulation in the city.
The territory included covered several
millions Of people. The person who did
the research was a disintereSted man
agreed upon by the two bet makers, each
of them paying him $40 for his work,
which took him a week or so. The
period of time embraced in the report
was not stated.
The Investigators statement showed
four or five householders killed or wound
ed by burglars. who shot upon being at
tackled, and an incredible number of chill
dren, servants and others MANNED and
killed who would not have been injured
had there been no weapon in the house.
Not one burglar was bagged.
The investigator was instructed TO ig-
more the activities of gunner and other
criminals among themselves, the point
being to test the value of the revolver as
I'm instrument of home defense.
The very giSt and essence Of civiliza-
ton is the remuneration of self-defense
and the RELOCATION of it to properly con-
>ututed authorities.
Ii is this that makes the difference be-
tween Woitville and Boston, between a
mining camp and an orderly city.
1t is questionable that revolver
maker should be allowed to advertise the
value Of his dcath-dealing weapon. COM
mending it for general purchase as a
means of self-protection.
An attack upon an individual is an at
tack upon the state, upon society itself,
and the state should defend its citizens
and properly dispose of offenders.
This principle applies universally, to
groups as we'll as TO citizens. If it were
recognized there would be no more war.
For war is caused simply by each ma
ton carrying It's own revolver and shoot
ing it's own burglars. Once we recognize
world solidarity, the world state, disam
the several component nations, pass a
world law prohibiting the carrying of
deadly weapons, and hand the business
Of keeping the peace over to an interna-
+ tional police, we have done the thing, and
+ the only thing, that can possibly prevent
such an appalling carnival Of crime as is
now going on in Europe.
No one nation will be secure against
war until every nation Is secured against
war.

ception. Not, however, because he
was wealthy, but because he had
the wisdom 10 put his wealth at the
service OF men OF genius.
Everywhere. always. it Is the
same. The world never has recog-
nized money as the criterion of en-
during worth. The millionaire who
is only a millionaire must be con

his own day.
Therefore, young man. IL you have
any ambition 10 be remembered BY
posterity, be careful not 10 let the
winning OF gold become the guiding
force OF your existence.

ideal than that OF the accumulation
OF wealth In especial. set yourself
70 accomplish something that viii
contribute in some degree TO human
happiness and progress.
The money. grubber does not do
this. All he Is concerned about is
the satisfaction Of selfish desires.
He yearns for gold for the luxu-
ries. the power, the social prestige
that gold will give him.
He would dazzle his fellows. would
have them admire and envy him
In this he may be eminently sue
cessful.
But when the curtain rings down

pomp and ceremony-then he Is for

Colleges Ban Booze
