ARMS A PROTECTION OF HOME
BY the possession of pistol ~
q rife in the house a citizen can
protect his property and life against
intruding burglars and murderers.
Also. with a gun he can quickly
become a member of a posse or hs

resting q disturber of the peace or

Felony. Often police or other Of
ficers are not available for the pre-
vention of q crime or Immediately
available for the capture of crimi-
nal after the preparation of crime.
The thoughtless person who now
bowls for the abolition of firearms
from the home would be the first to
use a gun IL his home should be en-
tered at midnight by a thief WHO
was trying to get his valuables, or
by a iend or murderer bent upon
personal injury to his wife. children

quietly wait to be robbed or muir
dered by an armed desperate while
vainly waiting for an unnotified po-
liceman or other officer with gun
to come to his protection? Abolish
the gun in the home and you aboi-
ish the security OF the home!

their leaders"
Galsworthy and Pinero contribute
to the symposium only some pale
platitudes, the one blaming the
world for being led astray by too
much idealism, the other carping at
the ministers of state.
But Joseph Conrad's words are
significant and heartening.
Willy-nilly, we are in the hands
of the many. The ancient regime of
the few is over.
Plans and plots Matched in secret
councils must by and by be laid be-
fore King Demos for his approval.
Wilson, Harding, Lloyd George,
Vivian and the like are no sue
cessors of Metternich, Bismarck
and Richelieu. For they are but
conspicuous flotsam borne aloft by
the contemporary wave. And that
wave is The Masses.
Little by little our political in
stitutions are adjusting themselves
to register the popular will.
The Great Leaders, day is over
except as he thinks and acts right!
The political boss is having a
harder and harder time to keep his
organization in hand.
The political machine does not
run with the smoothness and eff
cheney it once had in the era of Mark
Hanna>and Boss Quay; neither have
newspapers the power of which they
are accused. They do not create
public opinion; public opinion
creates them, makes or breaks them.
Mr.. Upton Sinclair, with his Brass
Check, is as wrong as he is hot. The
money power, capital, political ma
| chimes, or any other sinister and hid
den force, do not really rule, al
though they occasionally get the
upper hand and constantly strive to
do so. The only real permanent
power comes from that invisible
pressure that constantly streams up
from the multitude.
The people, the common people,
the people of Main street in Gopher
Prairie, State street in Chicago, as
well as Broadway, New York-the
vast and thinking masses-it is here
lies the disposing mind that rules
the modern world and determines
the future.
We thank Joseph Conrad for his
shrewd and accurate diagnosis.

Mr.. Griffin does not believe such law would be en-
forceabe or that it would be constitutional and he cites
many court decisions which confirm the right to possess
arms for defensive purposes.
The present law should undoubtedly be amended SO as
to hold dealers in firearms to strict accountability They
should not be allowed make sales without permits from
the Police Department but these permits should be freely
accessible to good citizens who desire only protect their
homes and the lives and properties OF themselves and
families.

THE PROPER REGULATION
Law-abiding people generally agree
that carrying concealed weapons
should be prohibited by law in the
District of Columbia and in the
States. This has been done. Most
people would even be willing for
laws to restrict the sale of firearms
to persons who have no criminal
records and who are not insane ar
minors. But to prohibit or impose
unreasonable restrictions upon the
purchase of firearms by responsible
citizens and to impose unreasonable

THIRD OF DAM

In DEARBORN
New County Follows School
District Boundary at Huge
Hotter Property.

Approximately one-third of the tax
value of Hotter dam, the property item
which three years ago figured so i'm
portantly in the defeat of Dearborn
county in the Lewis and Clark county
end, lies within the boundary line pro-
posed for the new county in election
petitions filed Monday with the county
clerk, according to H. w. Brown of
Cascade. The total tax value of the
dam is S1,21O,O7O, of which 1886, 75O
would be taken by the new county.
Started Opposition Before
In drawing the boundary line for the
new county at Hotter dam, the divi-
sionists followed the boundary Of a
school district, the property division
having been worked out as equitable
when the district was created. Oppo-
sition to the new county when the pro-
posed division was under consideration
before developed in the Lewis and
Clark end because Of the large valua-
tion which the old county would lose
with the immense property.
Mr.. Brown stated that all but % Of
the qualified residents of the Lewis and
Clark territory signed the election peti-
ton and that - Of these have declared
themselves as favoring the division.
Lewis and Clarke county residents to
the number of 134 signed the petitions,
he stated.
May Acquire More Land
1--WE fully anticipate that the new
county viii be created as a result of
this movement" said Mr.. Brown Tues
day. I'VE are more confident now
than before because everyone has been
so thoroughly informed as to what we
believe to be the facts. For months
We have been conducting an educational
campaign, feature of which were
meetings at which information was fur
nished to everyone who had questions
to ask.
THE county as now bounded ex-
poets to hold all of its territory and
there is a strong probability that addi-
tional land will petition in. The towns
of Sun River, Simms and Fort Shaw
were left in the old county because of
the apparent sentiment in these places
when the petitions were drawn, but it
is now reported that there is move
ment under way for Inclusion"
Mr.. Brown stated that the new coun-
ty would have 1,2SS square miles of
territory. as now drawn. and about
