New York, June 20.-Miss Mar
garet Wilson, daughter of the pres
ident, discovered she was "broke'
while riding on a Fifth Avenue bus
recently and borrowed ten cents
from a conductor to pay her fare,
according to the current issue of
Bus Lines, the bus company's peri

She mounted the bus at Thirty
fourth street and Fifth avenue and
preferred a coin to H. G. Lynch,
the conductor. He looked at it and
remarked: ,
81 am sorry Miss, but that's a
penny, not dime."' ......
The young woman searched her
purse and then embarrassed, said
"I'm afraid I must get off that pen

piled the conductor, Who was una

No Mercy for Pistol Carriers

At the court of sessions in this
county, adjourned last Thursday
two men, negroes, were convicted OF
murder; cne of them will spend the
rest of his life in prison at hard Ia
Dor and the other in a; few weeks
will die in the electric chair.
These men killed their victims
with pistols which, in defiance OF
the law, they carried concealed on
their persons.
The juries were evidently of
opinion that man carrying a pistoI
in defiance of law takes the first
step towards committing murder
The juries in future may be de-
pended on to hold that one guilty
of thus carrying a pistol will have
to present powerful case of self
defense to be excused for taking
life.

he put the "gun" in his pocket.
Every other man who "totes a gun"
in these days and times thereby
places his life in a thousand times
more danger from law than he
is in from assailants.
The people are aroused on this
subject. The juries are from the
people. They intend to show no

ARE YOU ENROLLED?

Our attention IS called TO Ine lact
that a good many people VINO want to
vote in the democratic primaries are
enrolling in districts other than their
own. They are making a mistake as
no one can be allowed to vote in any
district except the one in which ne
resides. The law is plain on this,
Even though a person is enrolled IN
the wrong district he is still not en-
tiled to vote there, and should ne be
allowed to vote in the wrong district
he could only do so by swearing that
he is entitled to vote there, which be-
ing untrue, would make him liable to
Indictment for perjury.
There are some hardships in all
laws. and there are some reasons why
people sometimes find it inconvenient
tc; abide by the spirit of the law, but
all these restrictions are Tor the
common good. The representatives
of the democratic party have found
them necessary in order to preserve
the primary, and all of us should be
willing to suffer the necessary in
conveniences in order to see that the
elections are fairly and properly con-
Quoted.
We, therefore, advise those people
who have registered in the wrong
districts to correct the mistake made
by registering in their own districts
and by having their names erased
from the rolls of the other districts,
The matter should be attended to at
once.
The enrolment committees in the
several districts should at the same
time take note of the law to the end
that no person be allowed to enroll
his name in a, district where he does
not reside, and where he is. not en-
titled to. vote. These committees, we
know, have no desire to violate the
primary election laws, but If. they
should allow a voter to enroll in q
district where he should not be en-
rolled they will not only violate the
law but they jeopardize the right Of
the voter to cast his ballot on elec-
ton day, as he cannot legally be al
lowed to vote in the wrong box, and
if he actually votes there his vote
may be challenged and thrown out,
Or the election may be declared so
irregular as to make another race
necessary, should the votes for cam
didates for particular office be
close.
There is nothing better 10 10 than
to obey the law. That is the only safe
course in anfthing.
