TOO MUCH GUN-ToTING IN OKLAHOMA.

WYE READ with measurable degree of gratiiiea
w ton that in Coblenz on the Rhine the sale OF
firearms has been prohibited by order OF the
burgomaster, who is cooperating with the American
occupational forces to maintain order. The burgo-
master has directed all civilians to turn their
firearms the municipal authorities and discharged
soldiers who have been doing police work also are
ordered to stack guns in the city hall. Consequently,
it appears that the only persons in that big and beau
teous German city now entitled to carry arms are the
Okahomans and other good Americans who are in
control OF affairs there under the terms of the arms-
ticc.
Ii Ardmore had mayor might suggest to him,
with propricty that lie issue similar orders to the
civilian population here The same suggestion would
apply every other city in Oklahoma with almost
equal force. There is altogether TOO much gun-totlns
in Oklahoma There is perhaps more gun-totng TO
the square mile in this state than in any other OF the
forty eight. This fact is not due, however to the
possession OF lower order OF intelligence a cheaper
brand OF courage. 1t is due to the conditions ncdne
to our ancient history which changed into modern
history or into history making OF the modern sort,
when Oklahoma became a state eleven years ago and
quit being two near-lawlcss territories.
In the old and redly romantic territorial days the
gun pocket or belt edition boon companion to
the generality. The ungunncd nhabitant-at least in
some considerable scctions-waS regarded as some
what OF outlaw; just as for instance the native
OF the Sunk Lands in southeast Missouri, before the
drainage. was regarded as beng SICK man When lie
did not have his regular malaria chill every other
lay" But those gun days in Oklahoma have passed,
and gun-totng is out OF date and ought to be out
awcd altogether
One OF the wiscst police officials in the world,
Chici OF Detective Sam Alender OF st. Louis who
is president OF the international body OF police heads
and is we'll known in oklahoma, succeeded two years
ago IN making it uncomfortable to carry gun IN
Missouri. lie put through the legislature law re
curing that every person buying pocket firearm
and every person selling one must have specal per-
mi; from the proper authorities. Chief Allender's
long experience in his profession has convinced him
that most OF the crimes in which shooting is featured
are due TO the axness OF the laws with regard to fire
arms Oklahoma might adopt statute similar to the
one in Missouri with beneficent results to life, limb
and liberty
