There is not a thing on earth' to pre

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.

Yes, license the guu-toter and reg
ister him too, and let him be fined
plenty if he is found without the per
