WHERE THE R0OT +~. ~ OF THE EVIL HABIT LIES. The proposed law to make pistol- toting a penitentiary offense is none too drastic to suit us and if it should be generally enforced it would ac- complish great good and correspond- fugly lower the murder record. But pistol-toting is something more than destroy the germs of it before we can cure it. And, like most other evil germs, it is to be found in defective home training--or no home training at all—low ideals and false stand-| ards of manhood. The cure for pistol-toting, or rath- er its preventative, will be found in the right kind of teaching and ex- ample in the family life and in right influences thrown around the boy during the formative period of his life when he is getting the impres- slons, ideas and habits which are to make him either a self-respecting, law-abiding citizen, or the other kind. Neither courts nor Legisla- tures can achieve this end—that re- sponsibility lies mostly upon the parents and other agencies which mold the boy's character and deter- a bad habit; it is a virulent diseasei i epidemic form and we've got to | Promise and of opportunity, let i tion, is largely responsible for a sys- g0 as to provide for the discontinu- Té- tem of court procedure that is the|ance of the levy of an ad valorem spelling and a spelling bee would sume of local matters, crop condi,'s andal of the nation and the oneiSlme tax, and have the State mv-! ernment supported exclusively by thei | deccorum is inconsistent with a license and franchise taxes.
