Would Abolish Revolver Sales.

Ever since the invention Of the pis-
tol 400 years ago, its sole purpose and
that of its successor, the revolver,
was to kill human beings. Outside
Of legally authorized war, they have
undoubtedly caused the accidental or
murderouS death Of a thousand for
every life saved by their iustifable
use. The possession of such arms
should be limited to military and po-
lice forces. For the hunter, the far
mer, the explorer, and for target prac-
tice, the larger firearms affords quite
sufficient service and protection. The
concealed weapon is very seldom of
value TO any but the lawbreaker. The
chief Of one of the largest city police
forces in the country says that more
than 90 per cent of the sale OF revolt
vers at the present time are to the
criminal classes.
The revolver is really the weapon Of
the coward; without it the thug and
holdup man would Immediately lose his
nerve in most cases, and would soon
abandon the profession. Holdups in
offices are daily occurrence because
one or two dash in and cover the &C.
cupants with gums, but if these same
bandits tried accomplishing their pur-
pose with rifles, crowbars, or clubs, the
results would be vastly different
Some cities have tried to limit and
control the sale of small firearms, but
the effort is practically a failure be-
cause evasion is so easy, and then
there is always the mal-order dealer
sending goods in plain packages to
fictitious names. If the bandit is
afraid to purchase from regular deal
ers or pawnbrokers in town, he has
the shipment mailed to some small SUI
burb, a few miles out, where both he
and the nature of the goods he receives
are unknown and excite no comment
A Chicago business man, John R.
Thompson, year ago advertised re-
ward of $1,000 to anyone who would
send him one really good reason tout
side of military police) why the man.
ufacture of revolvers in this country
should be allowed to exist. He has
yet to receive a single convincing rea-
son.
The alarming increase in crime and
murder made possible by the posses
sion of revolvers, has become such a
national menace that nothing short of
Federal law prohibiting their i'm
portation, manufacture, sale or pos
session (outside of museums and mil
itary or police) can abate the evil.
All possesors Of revolvers should be
required to turn them over to Gov
eminent officials, and heavy fine,
or fine and imprisonment to fit the
case, should then become effective.
Criminals, fearing the strong arm of
Government, and finding it less easy
to evade penalties, would be less in
clined to carry arms, and as fast as
arrested would lose what they had.
We have too many laws now, but this
IS one more that would produce wide
spread and immediate good results,
without depriving anyone of neces-
sary personal right.

Telephone mistakes may have their
serious sides. A Smith, who wanted
to communicate with a Jones, con-
suited the directory and called I'D a
number. Presently over the wire came
feminine Hello" and Smith asked,
who's this ?"
"This is Mrs. Jones'"
"Have you any idea where your hus-
band is?" continued Smith.
Whereupon she hung up so sudden
ly that Smith couldn't understand il
that is, he couldn't understand il
until a friend told him that the Mrs.
Jones he had spoken to was a widow.

TIGERS, BULLDOGS
 IN ANNUAL GAMES
UNION U. ANNEXES FINAL
Turn Back Bulldogs, 6-3, to Close Series Here-MeltOn Pitches Elf
 fective Ball.

Ouachita College will send it's Ti- gers here tomorrow and Friday for the annual diamond games with the Bulldogs. Their appearance at Hen dirk will be the only one in Conway for Arkadelphians, as the Tiger Nor maj games were called off to the satis- faction of both parties. The Bulldogs will have the advantage of experience gained in the Alumni and Union games, and are expected to improve their showing.
 Union University trimmed the Bull dogs in the final yesterday, 6 to 3. Nelson was off to a bad start as hurler and suffered by wobbly sup port Melton assumed the mound in the fourth and fared better, the wis itors pushing over only two counters during his time of service. Holland baffled the Bulldogs for the full nine innings, and ollowed them six scat. tered hits.
 Hitting features were double and triple by Royce Williams and homer by J. Moore, apparently the swat smith in the visitors camp. Coach Jones treated the fans to a sight of Leming, who pilfered three sacks off Union.

DAIRY SHIPMENTS
 ON UPWARD GRADE

Milk production in Conway and vicinity has increased rapidly with the approach of spring weather, and today's shipment from the cooperative dairy station was for 190 gallons of milk and 100 gallons of sour cream. The total is much in excess of the average for the winter months, and IS an indication of the greater inter- est being taken in this revenue pro- ducer. Manager R. l.. Folts expects further gains for the next three or four months.
 Fair prices are being received from dairy products, which are still market ed at Little Rock. Mir. Folts says that the purchase price allows reason able profits, but that better market will be secured during the summer, in cooperation with dairy men in other milk producing centers of Ar kansas
