The Mississippi and the Ohio are veritable eos these days and thousands of peo ple are made temporarily dependent upon their fellows for sustenance, oooo The country lost a unique charac ter when "Fiddling Bob" Taylor, late senator from Tennessee, died this week His was one of the oddest campaigns whou years ago lie was. tumping the state for the office o governor. He carted his violin with him wherever he spolTe aTid literally played on the affections of the con stituency. , o o o o Arizona astonishes the world through her governor In his first message to the legislature asking for the abolishment of capital punish ment. Tombstone, Flagstaff, Tucson, and Yuma are In that state, too. ooo'o There is not a thing on earth' to pre vent the recurrence at ,any moment of the despicable automobile tragedy of last Saturday night near Portland. There are too many gun-toters In ev ery community. This writer has had all kinds of experiences day and night, In mining camps, Indian lands, In and out of civilization, and he nev er yet has had -any need for even a moment, for a gun. A silly presump tion seems abroad among us that Americans are such perfect specimen? of propriety that they need no care takers over them. .They are on the contrary, so Imbued with the thought that this is the land of the free and the Jiome of the brave, and that free dom means any sort of license to do whatever comes first Into the mind of the native-born citizen. Whoever carries a gun, tacitly says he is going to hunt somebody If he wantB to do so. For that-reason It is unfair to the fisherman to assess him and take from him a license fee, and at the same time, let the man hunter go without enriching the public treas ury with his license. 0 0 0 0 Yes, license the guu-toter and reg ister him too, and let him be fined plenty if he is found without the per mit In his pocket. 0 0 0 0 nii.nna Ilorrnw finds himself about to have to employ means of de hnu ami iinpn not want to snend his own money. He prefers to spend the earnings of his friends, ana cans upou them to assist. He says he is not "broke" but that since it is a princi ple and not an Individual who Is the step Into the limelight, he wants the suporterB of the principle to pay the bill. Nice point. See? O 0 o o The Socialists are tiring of W. D. Haywood, and are aaklng for his ex pulsion from their ranks. o o o o The Appeal to Reason became very tired and then retired. A recent pa per down east says the editor became i noniw oaithr nokiner cheap dope down the necks of the gullible and then had sense enough to know when to quit. But. laoor is up, and will not always oe iuuicu. 0 0 0 0 Uncle Sam says to the Americans in Mexico: "Johnny, get your gyn and defend yourself if necessary. Th.t has hn rine- of business in it. and looks also, as If the intention of our nation is to assist, (at least) .n the governing of the land of the peon, oooo Ninety-six members of the United States Senate now since the new onos from Arizona and New Mexico have taken the. oath of office. When Alas ka Is divided In two and each admit ted as a state, there will be an even one hundred. 0 0 0 0 Truly this Is the day of woman. A brave one has Just made th9 trip to France from England -ia aeroplivie route arriving without accident. It may soon, if not already become an aphorism: What man can do, that woman also will do. oooo ' . A calamity to the Scientific world came when Rodgers went to his tragic death last Wednesday in Lous IUmcIi. California. He was 'uo first to mako the trip across the coaiiuent. .. oooo Of course you know the supersti tion of a rainy or sl.irmy Easter Sun day. It Is thlsr V.
