SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
An Immune.

An Immune.
Though few go unmolested,
A certain man I know
Who has not been arrested
Since several weeks ago.
The various regulations
That threaten far and near
Bring him no agitations
With penalties severe.
He almost went to heaven;
That's what the nurses said.
He's been in ward eleven,
All neatly tucked in bed.

Armed Robbery Should
Be Punished by Death
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
am glad to see you take the posi-
ton that armed robbery and burglary
should be capital offense. Until IL
is. the criminal will go armed ana
trust to an easy officialdom to escape
penalty. Until then. the timid ana
other possible victims will pack d
gun in their turn. If man is starN-
ing he has only to walk up to a cop
and slap his face and he can get all
the accommodation he needs. But 10
hold up" an innocent man with II
gun is cowardly and unjustifiabie.
Too much of the element of banditry
has come into the country from
places where generations have lived
by foul means. Stern methods are
now necessary to cure the evil unless
the United States wants to become
like China. w. e. ALLEN.
