GROWTH OF MIKUKIL
The United States Is fast winning
(or itself the title of the "land of
murder." Dwt year there were about
9.000. No other nation had bo many,
really not an eighth as many. We
had 20 murders here to one they
had* in little Japan, that country
wtiose civilisation we seem to fear so
much.
Two reasons are general)/ giver
for this deplorably fact; IU?t, the
laws against carrying concealed wea
pons are not enforced. A handy re
volver is an Inciting cause, to mnr
der. As long at their sale 19 not pro.
hlblted there will be plenty around
ready to commit murder. Even the
poseesslon of a revolver, for sale or
otherwise, should be made a jail of
fense. The revolver is a public en
emy.
And then, the negligence snd In
action of our Judicial tribunals. This
la a terrible situation. To be effect
ive Justice has to be aggressive, but
It ts not that way at all. It hangs
back as If it was afraid. It loiters,
flashes, strolls about, looks up the
law In an acre of llbrsry and then
the sharp need of duty grows dull
and shrivels Into a dead purpose.?

It began la tha year 1374 at Alx-la
