REvoLvERS AND CRIME

4 W. W. i. q III FA'Ni "a, ~ y -
! What is the legitimate place O
a revolver in modern civilization
This is not :. fool. i question btlt
one that should be seriously con
sidered by every liberty lovina
! citizen. A man is uncivilized il
proportion to his desire to carry
a revolver without legal authori-
ty. It is usually the person who
is seeking trouble or one whose
standing in the community is Sc
uncertain asto render him super
stitous, The laws are sufficiently
strong against the carrying OF
concealed weapons (and it is com
monty understood that we mean
revoNers when we say concealed
weapons), but public opinion is
practically dead on the subject.
When there is as much public sen
timent against,owning a revolver
as there IS against possessing in
tox:cating liquors the crimes
against human life will be dimin-
ished ninety per cent and thous
ands human beings who year by
year become the victims ot tn.

lives spared. 1t is time for us to
cease deploring the conditions in.

great evil. We must start al,
AGITATION for legislation against
unlawful weapons. It must be
more than a mere statutory law !.
it must be a direct demand from
the people of America for the
abolition of pistol owning.
The American Bar Association
at its meeting in San Francisco
August 10th recommended the
prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of pistols in the United
States except for official Or GOV
eminent use. ~
The writer was on train a
short while ago-and saw sheriff
board the train with prisoner.
1t was learned that the prisoner
had had a quarrel with neighbor
at Sunday School. \ fight en-
sued. The man who got the worst
end of the scrap deliberately walk
ed home, procured a revolver and
as deliberately returned and shot
his antagonist through the heart.
The writer was also told by prom
inent citizens living in a certain
small town in Eastern Kentucky
that nine men had been killed
over trivial matters around that
town within six months. At the
same time he was told by a trav-
cling man that he had just receiy- .
ed twentyseven orders for re-
volverS in one mining camp of
less than one thousand popula-
ton. A merchant in that county
said that no less than two thous- !
and dollars worth of pistol cart j
ridges were sold last Christmas |
and not fewer than four men |
we're killed with those cartridges. |
Are we as civilized citizens OF
the greatest nation under the SUN
going to continue to allow such
conditions to exist?
The daily press of a few days
ago carried an item of news from
France that should be of interest

Works Ten Years,
Then Famous Overnight

FANNIE HURST, the short-story
author, wrote for ten whole years
before she ever sold a story, it
is related, and then became famous
overnight. Miss Hurst, who wrote
"Humoresque." "Just Around the
Corner" and Back Pay" which will
be presented in cinema form for the
first time in Washington today, adds
further to her career by announcing
that the editors were right in her
case and that most of her stories
during that ten-year period were not
worth buying.
However, Miss Hurst can probably
afford to take that position. She is
reputed to be one of the highest-paid
short-story writer's in the world.
The city Of New York and its teem-
ing problems and sidelights Is her
fayofite literary hunting ground. It
was Inevitable that having achieveo

New Era IN Burlesque.

TEN years ago if any one had said
I that the burlesque theater would
be a place for any one of the family,
including the women. the chances are
that the majority of those who had
ever been to a burlesque show would
have remarked, You're crazy, But,
nevertheless, the day has arrived-a
new era has dawned in the burlesque
field.
The Columbia Amusement Company
claims credit for the change. A
small group of producers believed
that better things were in store for
the burlesque shows and theaters if
certain things were eliminated.
They broke from associates who
deemed what they had in mind was
impossible.
| it all came about through making
the burlesque theater place of
amusement for all of the family in
stead of for male audiences alone and
bringing clean wholesome fun to
thousands throughout the land.
With the advent of the era in the
burlesque producing field there also
came a new school of performers.
Suggestiveness could not be replaced
with a finely pointed speech and ex-
pect the then typical burlesque audi
ence to appreciate it. So a period of
leducation. had to be started.
!. OF the new school Of burlesque
comedians, Joe Freed and Harry
, Coleman, who are to appear here this
afternoon at the Gayety theater with
the Sugar Plums." are cited as ex-
amples. The entertainment itself is
announced as one Of the newer types
