DOES THE PISTOL PROTECT? How would it be to pass a law providing that firearms should be sold on prescription? It might stop a few murders and a few suicides. The ready pistol Is as dangerous In the hands of the excitable person who thinks he can protect himself with it as it is. in the hands of the thugs who use if for "commercial" purposes. Nine-tenths of the persons who go peacefully on their way in daylight and dark, in highways and byways, will declare that they never saw a time or place where the possession of a pistol would serve as protection to life or valuables. The averago man figures that lt would be bo much more to lose. The man who keeps a gun under his pillow or in his bureau drawer is a menace to himi self and his family. When the emergency for which ho is thus going """"ixed arrives, his gun might as well be vhere the Dutchman left his anchor. The manufacturers of small arms ex--ploJt them as home and body protec tors. The sense of self-preservation is used as a market stimulant. Speaking comparatively, the pistol of commercels not a weapon of defense; It is a weapon of offence. It Is practi cally useless in the hands of one who would defend himself with It, while In the hands of the offender it Is de vastating. How often do you hear of a footpad or a burglar being shot by a person he has attacked? The magic of "the drop" is on the side of the maurauder and the maurauder can and will shoot quicker to protect his liberty j than the person attacked in his own house or on the street can and will to protect his life. Then there is the temptation to suicide. Who can tell how many men and women would have lived down their troubles and reached a ripo old ago, but for the loaded revolver lying handy on the dresser or in the bureau drawer? There are laws against the carrying of concealed weapons in nearly every state in the Union, but they are not operative. Practically no one is ever prosecuted for carrying a concealed weapon until after he has been arrested on some other charge and then only when he Is known to be a dangerous and suspicious character. The concealed weapon law of any state cannot bo effective unless the possession of concealed weapons by all persons whatsoever Is absolutely prohibited. This would prohibit the manufacture, sale and Importation. TAX THE AIR, SAYS GRINSTEAD. As a satire on ridiculous legislation in general and a restrictive measure then pending in particular Rerpresentativo Grlnstead of the Texas legislature offered the following amendment: "Amend the bill by adding at the end of Section 10, the following: All persons, male or female, residing in the state of Texas shall, after they have reached the age of 21 years, equip themesleve with an aerometer, at the personal expense of said Individual, same to be read quarterly by the justice of the peace of the pre cinct in which said individual may reside and an accurate record of the amount of air breathed by each Indi vidual in this state shall be made and certified to tho controller of public accounts, who shall Issue a statement of the account of .each Individual re siding In the state, wnereupon me sheriff, aforesaid, shall collect a "blue sky tax' of lc per 1,000,000 cubic feet for all air breathed by said residents of this state. Any and all persons failing to comply with this provision shall forthwith have his supply of air cut off until such time as said tax shall be paid." ANY fool measure can pass a legislature provided its promoter can swing enough votes to pass one that has "something in it." A DANISH inventor has perfected a system that will cut the cost of wireless telegraphing in half. But the consumer won't notice the change, we dare say. GOVERNOR HANLY Is still fearful that the pool room at Dearborn Park will pprlng open again. Seeing that its owners have abandoned it as "no good;" that the gensdarmes are sitting

on top of it and that the only avenue of approach has been cut off by the promise of the Wabash railroad not to run trains to It, there is quixotic suggestion in the governor's attitude.

WITH THE EDITORS Mr. Beveridge, Expansionist. Senator Beveridge in his speech of last Saturday evening spoke as one gifted with the eye of a prophet. He believes that the time is not far distant when the United States will not only rule Cuba and Santo Domingo, but all the balance of the West Indies. When it comes to American sovereignty over foreign possessions, Mr. Leveridge is not in the least timid. His argument is pleasing, for it presupposes that American ability can rule and govern everything. But at the same time Mr. Beveridge, in his reference to the government of the Philippines, Indicates a weakness In the American plan. Speaking of the Philippines Mr. Beveridge refers to the wisdom and foresight of Secretary Taft. But it is confessed that the recommendations of Mr. Taft were ignored by congress. The people of the Philippines have been de nied fair and just trading laws the United States, in the name of friendship and brotherly love, discriminates against them. In face of the policy of the government toward the Philippines it is impossible to understand how Mr. Beveridge reaches the conclusion that this nation is especially and peculiarly endowed with administrative powers. We are told that petty politics has interfered with the plans in the Philippines. Wouldn't petty politics be equally as active if the United States should assume a protectorate over all of the West Indies. Mr. Beveridge is an optimist in all questions relating to expansion. There are few men in public life more in sympathy than he is with the sentiment of the nation on questions here at home. On the tariff, on the trust question, on the child labor problem and on all of the immediate Issues Senator Beveridge is so near the people that he Is generally regarded as a strong presidential possibility of the future. At the same time it is believed the people have not the same enthusiasm for ruling foreign possessions that he indicates. There is a feeling that there are sufficient issues within the country at present without hunting for fresh problems on the outside. The successful administration of the government of alien people is not one of the chief purposes of this nation. We should solve self-government first. When responsibility comes as it did in the Philippines the United States can give a good account of herself although a few apologies are necessary. But the American experiment in the Philippines doesn't warrant an invitation to greater responsibilities. Lafayette Journal. Taft and "Brother Charley." It was announced even before the return of Secretary Taft, and from Washington, that his coming would be the signal for Increased political activ itv. It was said that he will enter the Ohio fight as soon as possible. The secretary only returned today and he has hardly had time to issue a state ment. It Is a little too early to ex pect action presuming that reports were correct. There is, however, just a susDicion that "Brother Charley" has been busy again arid that the secre tary Is not entirely familiar with the reports which have gone forth. Charles P. Taft resides in Cincin nati. He is in the newspaper business and he knows the business well. He knows news when he sees it and he likes to give out news stories. When the statement that Secretary Taft would accept the challenge made by Senator Foraker was issued, "Brother Charley" is said to have been respon sible. Yet, while the latter is familiar with what is news and while he evi dently enjoys pursuing his chosen work, there is a belief in some quarters that, so far, his action has not tended to aid the secretary's presidential boom to any great extent. In view of the earlier statement it is not improbable that the Washington dispatches can be traced to the same source. Anyway, developments of the next few days will show whether or not Sprretarv Taft is in accord with the '.leath fiehf and "warm contest" re ports. South Bend Tribune. Indiana the Literary Center. The Washington Post of last Tues day concedes editorially that Indian apolis is the greatest literary cente in America. Its tribute to the Hoosie capital was called forth by an edl torial in the Worcester Gazette, com nlaininc because the school board o that town went to Evansville, Ind., select an assistant superintendent schools. The Worcester parer said, with sneer: to o "We have to go to wild and woolly Indiana when we want something tha is really good." To this the Post replies: "Just a word about 'Wild and Wool ly Indiana.' Has not the Gazett learned that Indianapolis supercede Boston years ago as the literary me tropolis of the United States? Th world knows it by heart. Boston' literary greatness and it was rea greatness is under ground, a thing of the past, while the glory of Indianapolis, and the state for which it stands Is in splendid fruition. "The halo that once was Boston's surrounds the deserving head of the Hoosier capital. Not that in literature Indianapolis is the equal of what Boston was, but that she is far in the lead of any other aspirant or primacy." Ambassador Bryce in a speech recently made at Philadelphia, indulged in some speculation as to the results that would have followed if the American states had remained colonies of Great Britain. Why, long before this, this would have been Great Britain and Great Britain would have been the colonies Michigan City Evening Dispatch. Young man pet busy- She wants to SO to, Jamestown.

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, April 23. The stock market opened a shade firmer in sympathy with slightly higher prices from London for the American rails. At the advance there was considerable profit i taking by the longs who were fortunate enough to buy stocks during the weak days last week. This resulted in a temporary decline in the early trading. Union Pacific sold off from 142 & to 140, St. Paul from 1371-. to 1334. The balance of the list eased off fractionally about a point all around. It was noticeable, however, upon the decline substantial supporting orders appeared in all of the highe priced shares which restrained the bear operators from becoming aggressive. Wall street does not pin much faith to the bad crop reports which are circulated every day. This fact is exemplified in the action of the grain carrying roads. If the crop was damaged to the extent that the crop killers would lead one to believe. Union Paitic, Missouri Pacific, St. Paul and Athison could not earn or pay their usual ividends for the forthcoming year. "urthermore, the prices of these shares would show a depreciation of anywhere from ten to twenty points from the quotations prevailing at present. Traders in the street are usually more onservative upon the crop situation than houses doing business on the board of trade. Nevertheless, they keep their weather eye on the action of the wheat market for fear that they may e wrong in their surmises. United States Steel common had a period of weakness in the early part of the sesion. Humors to the effect that the dividend rate would not be increased at the next meeting affected the shares adversely. This, however, is merely onjecture and guess-work. Even the directors themselves do not know for a positive fact whether the dividend will be increased or not. Talk of gold exports is heard around tl he exchange. This will have little or no effect marketwise. In the last hour of the session the market turned exceptionally strong. closing the usual active stocks at the highest prices of the day.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago. April 23. WHEAT Scored a rally of a cent a bushel based principally on buying by the southwestern bulls who are backing their opinions as to the extent of the crop damage throughout that section of the country. There was the same class of bad crop reports in circulation, but they covered a wider territory than heretofore. Illinois, Indiana. Missouri and Kansas all had their quota of damages done by the green bug and other pests. Some of the best posted statisticians here express alarm over the condition in Kansas. A better cash demand was reported for wheat today by exporters. This caused considerable buying by the

northwestern shorts who seem unable to guess the "turns" in the market and fivi..

who are extremely skeptical as to the real damage to the winter wheat crop. The market closed strong at about the high prices of the session. CORN Ruled strong and higher with considerable anxiety being displayed in the May option by the shorts, owing

chiefly to the light stocks of contract corn at this market. A better cash demand was reported, although corn in the sample market did not show any advance in the price of the quotations prevailing yesterday. The speculative market shows an advance of about three-quarters of a cent for all of the active futures. OATS Followed the trend of the other pits, weak early, late regaining all of the lost ground. There was a fair commission buying at the decline which was attributed to southwestern traders. Cash sales about 150,000. The market closed strong. PIIODUCE MARKETS. Chicago, April 23. Famine conditions exist in the butter market. Values at the present are the highest for this season in a good many years. Supplies are small, while the demand is active for both consumptive and shipping ac count. Current receipts are taken as soon as they arrive on the market and stocks are practically wiped out. There were 8 cars of strawberries in today, which were mostly green and prices were lower in consequence. There were larger supplies of vegetables on the market and values receded a triile from their recent high point. quotations on round lots only: Butter Receipts, 4,987 tubs.

Ample Proof of Its Possession in State of Connecticut. William G. Ward, a merchant, recently had a stove, in which a coal fire was burning, moved with other goods from his old home, on Piatt's Hill, to his present apartment. He did not want the trouble of making a new fire, thereby further exemplifying hi3 Yankee ingenuity. While driving through North Hartland, a farming village 13 miles distant from here, he stopped at the home of. E. J. Barnes to get warm. He said he sold pianos, and Mr. Barnes became interested. Finally Mr. Barnes said he wanted to hear the tone of the instrument before he made a bargain. Stepping to the telephone, Ward called up his store here, had a $350 instrument rolled up close to the telephone transmitter and then ordered a saleswoman, Miss Elizabeth Harnett, to play a few selections, which she did. The music over the wire enthralleld the family, the deal was closed and the piano was shipped to the Barnes farm. Winsted (Conn.) Cor. New York World. A Trenton Warn1n3.
