CURRENT COMMENT
By Henry willis

Shull WI Register Our Guns. There
is a pretty general feeling that gun
registration is the first step toward
c~onfiscation. If laws are passed re-
curing registration it will be only
a matter Of time until more laws are
passed confiscating the guns or pro-
hibiting the carrying of them. Gen.
orally speaking the men who hunt
or like to target shoot are as SUBJ
stantial and law abiding a class as
have; - farmers, merchants,
teachers, breaches, doctors. We are

January Fire Losses in the United
States were $50, 900, 00O. 90. Eleven
per cent above the previous jan
uary. For some time the trend of
fire losses has been upward. Let us
hope that upward trend will be
stopped 20 that the downward trend
in insurance premiums may con
tinue.
Automobile Liability Rdtes are
stated by trade journals to be Is to
40 per cent low due to a huge jump
in losses since gas rationing was
stopped and the speed limit lifted.
Indications are that 10000 persons
will be killed and 5000 hurt by
automobiles this year. Frightening.
Losses are mounting fearfully, only
public opinion and cooperation can
turn the recklessness toward care.

all uncertain right now, no man can
tell what's ahead. We certainly have
seen small gangs seize control of
great nations in the last dozen years,
due to the indifference of people
who submitted to seeming small
things done by politicians-often
rotten-who pinch off some liber-
ties here and some more there until
the masses are helpless. In the
United States we have submitted
gladly to war time restrictions.
There is not yet any group strong
enough to attempt to overthrow our
democracy but that does not mean
that no such group ever will grow
up. There is no doubt that here are
many individual with that idea in
their minds. They will worm into
key places in the government. One
of the earliest measures will be to
disarm the people. A list of arms
and owners is a needed first step.

law and it is argued that it would
prevent crime, but 1t is the law
abiding citizens that would register
their guns while the gangsters, the
vicious, the underground would not.
New York has a law against owning
pistols, result of rotten politics, and
there the law-abiding citizen is at
the mercy of the armed thug who
paws no more attention to that law
than he does to any other. Stop
ownership of machine guns and sub
machine guns and the military rifles
of any nation, if you like, but as for
sporting rifles, lighter, smaller cal
iber, shorter range, and shot guns
let the people alone. The Govern
ment allowed the service men to
bring in those German and Jap
army rifles. Now the Government
can ask the e~x-service men to re-
turn them, pay for them maybe,
but do not use their presence now
to serve as an excuse to take all
guns away from all OF US.

The Greyhound Bus Line drivers
are striking. A few early mornings
ago a Greyhoud bus full OF passen-

not of their union. Some thirty
miles out a sedan drew up behind 1t,
somebody fired six bullets through
the read end radiator, then the car
turned round and sped back towalS

oUILP, THE HUNcHBACK

Determination is an adj
nfirable quality ordinarily,
but when it is based on spite
and hatred it is a despicable
characteristic. In fiction, as
we'll as in history, we have
read of many a man who,
spurred on by ever-burning
hatred, has resorted to every
means that came to mind to
try to wreak his yengence
on persons he despised for
any of a hundred reasons or
supposed reasons.
In many cases, the objects
of hate have not done any
thing to the man seeking to
overthrow them. Nobody
had to do anything against
Quilp, one of Dickens VIII
famous characters, to whip
up his hatred and resultant
determination to try to ruin
persons he thought were in
terferring with the realiza-
ton of his ambition. Once ne
had decided on an objective,
Quilp attempted to brush
aside everybody, regardless
of his innocence, who skirt
ed the path he had designed
for the accomplishment OF
his dastardly purpose.
Checked or retarded am
bition has ranked in many
a bosom, but in a great ma
iority of. instances it does
not foster schemes of evil
against the object of the
hatred. The ambition rank
les and dies and recurs
again, only to die again, for
the passing of time is a cure
all, though sometimes the
"cure" does not become
effective till death, which
time eventually brings to all
| of us.
Many men in real life are
cast in a mould similar to
that used by Dickens in Civ
ing us the fictional char
acter - Quilp, the hunch-
back, forever scheming
against his fellow men.

RUBBER STAMP" COURT
EXPLODES

We remember there was
considerable criticism of
President Roosevelt's APP
pointments to the Supreme
Court and the vociferous
critics Immediately asserted
that the High Tribunal
would be composed of
rubber stamp" justices,
without any clash of opinion,
which, instead, was neces-
sary for the High Court to
function correctly.
The recent blast from
Germany, cabled to this
country by Justice Jackson,
assailing Mr.. Justice Black,
ought to effectively answer
the allegation. Certainly the
nation has not witnessed, in
many years, such a vituper-
ative denunciation of a JUS
tice by one of his brothers
on the bench. Obviously,
there is difference of opin-
ion among the members of
the high tribunal and the
differences do not seem to
involve legal questions.
