-
Harley Rower, 40 Tyler street, was
held up about 1870 o'clock last night
by two men on West Fifth street be-
tween the city and county jails and
relieved of an Ingersoll watch and 40
cents in change. The holdup men
sauntered on in an unconcerned man
ner and Harley backed into the police
station and announced his misfortune.
Sergt. Hiram Sturm and Ed Ransom
Immediately gave chase to the two
men, who ran north about a block
and a half but they had too great a
start on the officers and escaped by
lodging between some buildings.
Rowell is employed in the Gibler
drug store, 334 Kansas avenue, and
was on his way home from work when
he met the two men

edness than that a whole nation be
disarmed. 1t has never failed in his
tory that a disarmed people became a
people of slaves.
We think that every American citi-
zen should keep good revolver in his
house and teach all the members of his
family to use it. We think he has a
moral and should have a legal right
to carry a pistol when he goes into
sny place where his life may be IN
danger. And we particularly believe
that women who have to be left alone,
or have to be out alone in lonely
places, or places peopled with people
who might be vicious, should carry eff
fective weapons with them. Few of
us there are who do not know at least
one woman whose life was blasted be-
cause she was unarmed when she met
human brute.

CAN'T SHUT OFF OUR CATS

A dispatch from Pensacola says:
Accompanied by the sheriff and with
the speakers platform surrounded by
deputy sheriffs. Governor Sidney j.
Cats of Florida addressed labor day
gathering here yesterday. The gov
ernor spoke notwithstanding the
statement to him by members of the
labor day celebration committee that
he was not wanted at the celebration.
The speaking was held under the
auspices of the Central Trades Council
of Pensacola. When the governor ar
rived he was visited by members of
the committee and told that no politi-
cai speeches were to be made at the
meeting, and that the speakers would
be confined to few union men. The
governor replied that he had been in
vited to speak by members of the
boilermakers' union and he proposed
to carry out his agreement if the ser
vices of fifty deputy sheriffs were nee
essary. "Old Cats will be there and
he will speak if he has to swear in
every citizen as deputy" he said. At

GOOD ADVICE TO GIRLS

The following from that experienced
old citizen and journalist. Col. Davis
of the Gainesville Sun, should be heed
ed by women and girls, who, it seems
to us, are entirely too venturous in 60
ing around alone:
"The habit of ladies and young
misses walking on the streets at late
hours without proper escort always
was dangerous habit. Several racial
disturbances have recently occurred
because of this. Others may occur at
any time.
eve are not afraid of racial troubles
in Gainesville. We have, in the main,
a most worthy and respectable class
of colored citizens.
"But the times are uncertain and
precarious., The country is filled with
straying vagabends, both black and
white. Knoxville, Tenn, is now in the
tbroes of an awful riot. 1t is alleged
to be because negro insulted white
woman. He denies the charge, but
what is the difference? Blood be-
tween the races there is already hot
Bogalusa, La. is another place.
"Why should lady, unescorted. in
vite possible trouble by remaining out
late in the evening, whether she is
walking or in an automobile?
eve came near having a misunder.
standing in Gainesville the other
night. 1t was an unintentional thing
on the part of the negro. The GOODNESS
of our officers prevented any spread
| of trouble. But even misunderstood.
| ings are dangerous now"

PROHIBITION AND PISTOLS

Some of our friends, in talking
about pistols, remind US of those ex-
IRENE prohibitionists who declare
whisky is the cause of all crime. The
aforesaid friends declare that pistols
arc the cause of nearly all the muir
ders.
Cain killed Abel. not with a six
shooter but with club, and in the
long lines of murders since the crea-
ton, the pistol has borne an insignifi-
cant part. We know of some tragedies
it has prevented-how many no one
can tell, for the smokewagon is good
deal like real charity-it is modest
about its good deeds.
If you are going to prohibit weap-
ons, why not prohibit the knife? 1t
has ten thousand murders to the pis-

If you will study the record of
crime as set forth in the daily press,
you will find that little of it is COM
rnitted with the pistol. Looking back
over the list of murders committed in
Marion county since we have been a
resident, we find that the pistol has
been used in few of them.
Pistols have figured largely in the
riots that have taken place in the
various cities recently, but while ruff
fans used them in attack good citizens
found them most useful in defense.
How many homes have felt safer in
Washington and Chicago, because it
had good revolver in it's household
equipment, will never be known.
Sometimes you hear of good citi-
zen being shot down by rufian with
a pistol, but in such cases you will al
most invariably find that the gooG
citizen was defenseless. Men who com.
nit cold-blooded murder always fight
shy of a man who they suspect has g
gun.
Pistol fights exist almost entirely IL
blood and thunder novels and movies
Read the papers closely and see how
often you read of two men shooting i
out In this country of a hundred
million people, not more than three o.
four such events take place a<month.
We have been reading all our lif,
about the dreadful person who had ;
cannon in his pants land gave way t.
his passions and took life, thereb.
ever after blasting his own, but W.
have met him very seldom indeed.
1t is better that few lives be los
