DISARMING THE CITIZEN

Down n California recently girl killed her mother because the latter reprimanded her for at tending roadhouse jazz dances Whereupon the intelligent coroner's jury returned verdict of ad- vocating the suppression of the sale of revol- vers. This is in line with the verdict returned m south Florida several years ago, when negro kill ed white man with an axe The jury mended the sale of axes to negroes should be dis continued The auto today is one of most con- venent accessories to bank bandits and hold-ups, yet one never sees its abolition advocated. Many murders are committed over women, but that is no sign the race should be killed off. Many persons eat their way into early grave, yet their teeth are not pulled. Considerable sentiment has been expressed the land in regard to persons owning and carrying revolvers, and at the present time a bill is before congress forbiddmg the shipment of these arms. All of which is duck soup for the criminal, who could proceed about his robberes un- molested and mafraid The bandit who knows his victim is prepared shes off from him. When the James boys entered Norhfield, Mim, many years ago, they found reception that they were speedily driven off and the Younger boys captured by the fact that every citizen had weapon handy. In the Blue Cut robbery by the same gang, station agent Bridges put up lively resistance with a single action Colts that they were driven off with out securing any spells. It is true the criminal carries gun and that he often uses it. But to disarm the citizen would be to place him absolutely at his mercy, where none would be needed piece of gas pipe being as effectual Every citizen in a bandit infested country should be armed, and should be taught to them. olicemen have killed more innocent spectators by promscuous revolver firing than have crooks, but they are not advocating dis armament.
 By all means take away the only chance ct- zen has of resisting thug, and see if the crime wave lessens
