When we look at the democracies of

of government gives a power of which
no other form is capable. Why? Be

Missouri is the latest state to take
radical action against the firearms
pest. It has a law forbidding the
display of pistols In store windows,
and the Illegal carrying of a shoot
ing weapon is a penitentiary offense.
Several other southern states have
passed similar laws, that or Texas,
where a few years ago shooting was
exceedingly frequent, being perhaps
f tho most radical of any. Th better
elements of society in the south
have become Intolerant of the gun

would do well to follow their example.
