THE RIGHT "TO KEEP AND
BEAR ARMS"

The United States has been criti-
cized as a country of freak laws.
Our people may go wrong occasion
ally through lack of information or
transformation on a question of
public interest, but in the long run
they think straight and act straight,
and the best evidence of this fact is
the $50 years of growth and pros
perity which our nation has enjoyed.
.,sEhe right of individual initiative
anu freedom from unnecessary re-
straint is Unborn in every American
citizen. For some time there has
been an effort made to prohibit the
ownership of small arms although
the second amendment of the Con-
stitution of the United States says:
"The right of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be in
fringed"
Target practice and good mark
manship has been part of the life of
the normal American boy. Legisla-
ton to prohibit this on the theory
that it would reduce crime, is
mistake, for the criminal would still
get his guns from sources outside
the United States. AS a matter of
fact, most of the worst crimes are
not committed with a gun. Hatch
cts, axes, clubs, knives and other
instruments take a greater toll
In their honest desire to bring
about law enforcement in this coun-
try, it is a question of whether the
people will hastily adopt a measure
which in the long run would simply
make it easier for criminals to car
ry on their work.

INFRINGING ON CITIZENS
RIGHTS.


A determined effort is expected
this winter to put the Burglar Lii
cense Law" on the national and on
many of the state statute books. The
law is not called by that name, but
that is the effect of the anti-firearms
frenzy now going the rounds. It
would assure every burglar, holdup
and ravisher that there was no pis-
toll in the home or on the person of
his intended victim. 1t cannot pos
sibly take away from the thug the
ability to own and use pistols; it
deprives the honest citizen of the
right to protect himself from as
sault, being in effect an invitation
to thuggery of every sort.
The logical outcome of any anti
pistol law must be the prohibition
of all firearms. It is possible,
within a few minutes, to convert
any rifle or shotgun into a pistol,
and a sawed-off shotgun-pistol,
even if all small arms were de-
stroyed, would be as deadly a thug
weapon as any gun ever made. To
prevent such conversion, all fire.
arms must be prohibited.
A free, hunt-loving, self-respect-
ing American cannot face such a
foolish alternative, The anti-pistol
fantasy must give way to laws that
punish the gun-criminal, but allow
the honest man the privilege of
self-defense and of legitimate sport
unmolested.

GROWTH OF CHRISTIANITY.

Religious controversies precipitate
vague reports that the church-going
population was in rapid decline.
That the contrary is true is not
known better than by the millions
of church members in the United
States.
An Eastern clergyman discloses
that at the time of the American
Revolution there was only one pro-
fessed Christian in Princeton Uni
versity and two in Harvard Univer-
sity. Today nine-tenths of the uni
versity and college students of both
sexes are members of some Chris
tian church.
Diminishing church rolls are al
most unknown in the United States,
while millions of dollars are ex-
pended annually for new church ed
ifices in the cities, towns and rural
sections of the country. Every de-
nomination is annually reporting
increased national memberships.
Evidence of the stability of the
church in America may be found in
the general financial status. There
has been decisive increase in the
salary standards of the ministry
Church buildings are better main
tanned and more luxuriously fur
nished. A few years ago only the
most exclusive city churches could
afford paid choristers, pipe organs
and skilled organists. Today these
are not uncommon in the smaller
towns and are customary in the
smaller cities.
Whatever the present ecclesiasti-
cal debate may have done for good
1r evil, it manifestly has not de-
.racted from church attendance.

CHRISTMAS CLUB MONEY

An enormous sum of money was
paid over by the banks, to the peo-
pie who had been saving on Christ
mas club plans. This scheme gives
people fine training in thrift. Hav-
ing denied themselves for so many
weeks to accumulate this sum, they
are going to hold onto it with some
care. The bulk of this money will
go into substantial purchases. A
good part of it should be left on de-
post in the banks where it was col
lected.
Some folks are so constituted that
they either have to arrange to pay
a certain sum each week under a
plan like this, or their money all
slips away from them.
People in Milford who have form
ed the saving habit take as much
pleasure in a growing bank deposit,
as the spenders will in any luxury
or junket.
SSe@
VIRTUE is relative. Most of the
people who boast of their self-con-
troll haven't much to control.

MOVING TINE is NEAR

In both Kent and Sussex counties
the annual moving time for farmers
to change their habitation, is at
January list, of each year, whenever
such has to be done. There is
great deal of waste about these
movings, and you will possibly re-
member that Ben Franklin in his
wise way said: Three removes are
as bad as a fire. Yet much enters
into the cause for these annual
changing of farm homes, as well as
the town residence. AS the seasons
change, we see many disadvantages
of the old place; the landlord is not
willing to do very much in the way
of papering the home, or making
improvements in the buildings, so
new place often looks a whole lot
better and the change is made. How
busy a good many folks will be. The
old piano box in the back yard,
where it has been either a play
house for the children, or coop for
the chickens, will have to be
brought in and serve for a packing
case. The old bed comfort will have
to be wrapped about the chiffonier,
and old newspapers be wrapped
about the chair legs. The old house
will have to be cleaned up, and so
will the new one. Something will
be lost or irrepairably broken, while
much will be thrown away. Such
is the annual moving time for those
who have not established them
selves and hold title to their homes.
1t is a never ending experience, for
some of the people; but so far as
farming is concerned, it is to be
hoped that the day is not far distant
when the tenant farmer and his an
nual removals from farm to farm
will be eliminated in Delaware; for,
then will come a better and more
prosperous era for all the people of
Delaware-especially farmers.
