The ghastly roll of revolver vic- tims in Seattle is a long one, indeed, to say nothing of its participation in numberless robberies and holdups In Seattle a man may not buy a cigarette. A paternal legislature has seen to that. An equally paternal city council, aided by vigilant police, have made a drink of liquor on Sunday an affair of great finesse and diplomacy. But it is to be doubted i whether there is a day, or an hour, even, when it is impossible ig to purchase a revolver in this city.

It will be urged that a person having once determined upon a murder will find means and weapons to suit his purpose ; that in default of the revolver, he will take the ax, the slungshot It is true that man has always killed his fellowman, and probably always will, but this undeniable fact is no good reason for making murder a simple matter, On the contrary, it should incite us to make murder as difficult as possible, and as the revolver is perhaps the best device for murder, it should be the first to be abolished. In the life of the honest, revolver is no more a necessity than a nitro bomb, and it is As a protection from highwaymen and burglars, it is a failtire. Nobody but a fool or a hero ever ex- changes bullets with a bandit, and in a gun fight the chances are always in favor of the burglar.
