MAKE 1T HARD FOR

There is a whole lot of talk abou
the crime wave and how to reduce

have been made, but most of the
publicity is given to proposal:
which would favor and pamper the
criminal at the expense of the law.
abiding citizen.
If we want to stop crime, the
surest way to make it unpopular is
to make it more unpleasant for the
criminal.
The average man has no business
carrying a concealed weapon. If he
has occasion to, he can get a permit
to do so. The crook has no busi-
ness being a crook, but if he is a
crook, still he has no business
carrying a concealed weapon.
Therefore, if he is arrested in the
act of lawbreaking and later con-
victed, he should be subjected to the
penalty the law imposes. If he uses
a gun in the commission of a crime,
why not double the penalty?
This would punish the criminal
who uses a gun unlawfully, rather
than the private citizen who under
the Constitution has q right to own
and posses guns.
In other words, enforce our pre-
sent laws, double the penalty for
where they use dangerous
weapons, and uphold the law-abid-
ing citizen in his constitutional
rights.

 The publicity given to the article cliticizing Gen. Richardson's analysis of the Alaska situation through it's insertion in the Congressional Re cord makes it seem proper to me that these few words should be said to make the real situation plain.

 In the issue of The New York Times of January 8, 1928, appeared an editorial entitled "The Truth About Alaska" The two opening sentences of the editorial were these:
 Before the era of debunking comes to it's heralded close place shall be made for Gen. Wilds P Richardson's article in the current Atlantic on Alaska Out of the wealth of his experience in the territory, to whose development he gave loyal service for 20 years, Gen.

 The charge of conspiracy between Gen. Richardson and the editor of The Atlantic Monthly to engage fin conspiracy of willful and unpatri- otic mischief" of course, is or ought 10 be a self-evident absurdity to any thoughtful mind. It is within my per sonal knowledge, however, that Gen. Richardson, whom have known for many years, never met the editor of The Atlantic Monthly, and that he wrote and sent his article for ac- ceptance or rejection upon it's merit or lack of merit, as all other articles are sent by we'll regulated writers to the editors of well regulated maga- zines.

Put that down." Get up off

Why on earth can't they ex-
press their commands in tones

Ugly tones, black looks, little
shakes and pushes that children
receive make them petulant,
hateful and hard to control.
Every woman knows how ag-
gravating, nerve-wracking and
tiresOme a little child can be; but
the daily care of her child is
mothers JOB. She can make her
task much easier for herself If
she will speak in firm, gentle
tones: and leave off threats and
implications. Other members of
the family will probably follow
her example and il a nursemaid
insists upon cross words and
angry gestures-she is worse than
useless.
