Crime and Pistols.
From the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald.
A salesman in this city who passes
over his counter from 40 to 60 auto
matte revolvers every day at from
$2S 70 $50 each declares that the ma
jority Of the people who buy these
guns ought not to have them at all
He says also that the retail dealer
himself would prefer some kind Of
legal limitation upon the indiscrimi-
nate distribution of automatics, that
such measure would be better for
his business as well as for the pro-
lection of the public.
One Of the leading New England
manufacturers of small arms affirms
that his concern and all others OF
standing and experience believe in
and have advocated some such re-
straint upon the sale Of guns as would
make it easy for responsible citizen
and q man of family to obtain
weapon for legitimate protective pur-
poses and hard for a thug to get a
weapon for purposes Of depreciation.
Anybody can buy gun-m New
England. New York has the Sulli
van lazy, yet, as the Herald disclosed
the other day, that well Intended
legislation is evaded and de<1sd-a
magistrate in eight months had
signed 200 permits in blank at p each
and the police, found the pexzaits in
tho hands Of dangerous and hAbftua
criminals.

preserved. This must be record. FIT
teen letters day for 80 years would be
a good deal for mere literary man, I'M
concerned with politics, aranching, war,
state cares, or exploration. Jefferson
has hitherto been regarded as the most
marvellous letter writer among our
statesmen. His private and official cor
respondence still existing exceeds 25,ooS
letters, though large sections of 1t have
Disappeared; and many of the letters
are both learned and long. But Jet-
ferson's correspondence covers nearly
70 years.
In due time we shall have an edition
of Roosevelts writings apart from the
books he himself published-and no"
long a shelf will be filled by the Jared
Sparks who edits them? The simple TACT
is that the introduction of private sec
retarial staffs has made it Impossible
ever to put any statesmans correspond
ence into print. Completeness In pub
fishing the correspondence of men like
Roosevelt and Wilson would be as use
less as it would be inpracticable.
For al but historians end students OF
politics the question of the literary value
of a statesman's letters is of a greater
Importance. BrAnRiiu's, Jefferson's and
Lincoln's letter have become part of the
nations literature. The letters of few
if any statesmen in the generation be-
fore the close of the century have any
such merit. But we have every reason
to believe that the correspondence OF two
heads of the nation since then will find
more than mention in any real literary
history

clearer idea Of their ability and their
activities
For so years all attempts to cheek inc
numerical growth of the House nave
come to grief on the prejudice against
depriying any state of representative.

thus that the House has been pushed
from 325 to s5s in 1898, to 1856 in 1901, to
135 in 1911. 1t is time to stop this absurd
process and begin building smaller ana
