sink through the crust of snow and
founder about in it until the farmer

Carrying concealed weapons is a
dangerous practice. 1t is an unlaw-
full practice. 1t is a practice that is
entirely too prevalent, especially in
the larger centers of population.
The law abiding citizen has no de-
sire to carry gun around in his poe
ket, unless it be for the protection of
life and property when they are in I'M
minent danger.
The punishment should be made so
swift and severe that the law breaker
would shun gun as he would a poi
sonous reptile.
Then there would be more honest
work and less lawlessness.

One of our great railroad systems,
VIGOROUSLY exploited and dismally mis-
managed, needs many millions of dol
lars with which to pay off bonded in
debtedness soon to become due in for
eign markets.
Apparently it is too poor risk for
bankers and other fnanciers to con-
slider.
Hence the management of the road
wants the government to make the
lean which shrewd fnanciers can not
''see."
The treasury of the United States
IS the peoples bank, and the guar
dians of those funds are answerable to
the people.
Ii this proposed loan is too risky
for financiers who make a business of
lending money it certainly is no place
for the investment of government
funds.
The public eye is watching this pro-
posed deal. The people are not al
ways asleep.
