(In advance) SIX MONTHS THREE MONTHS M be punished by a line of not more than $300 and by imprisonment of not more (than six months, and it is high time. that 'some one was fined., and sent to jail. Let it be known that the officers of the law and the courts infepd making examples of this class of offenders and revolvers will be a drug on the market, iso great will be.the rush of this class to ;the pawn shops. And while they are at it the 22 rifle might ' just as well be in eluded. This 22 rifle business is going too far. Two lives have been snuffed Out recently, one in this city' and one in bingham, and that dangerous weapon should be placed under the ban. The , one of parent who lets his those weapons with which to endanger .the lives of his playmates ought to be jcicked twice per day for thirty years. Serve notice,' gentlemen of the law that this gun practice must stop. Arrest, try and convict those found violating the law and stop this shedding of innocent blood. The youth who slew young Kielland a few nights ago is said jto be very despondent over the occurrence. He should be. But that isnt all. He is guilty of an offense and should suffer for it. Society demands it. This indiscriminate killing without excuse must stop. Those who neglect their duty are as guilty as these who do the killing. There is no sympathy here with the slayer of a fellow being, except when the circumstances justify it. Stop these murders.

Truth has a suggestion to make to the police, to the sheriff and his depu-- ; ties, to. every constable in the city and county, to the judges of the municipal courts and to the justices of the peace in every precinct. That suggestion is this. Every time a man without authority is found carrying a pistol, let him be hauled into court and given the limit. It is high time that this career of crime and criminal carelessness should be stopped. It is becoming too: frequent for comfort. We bid our friut.is farewell one day and .the next we hi.'.ir of their assassination at the' hatois of a drunken lunatic or an extrafool. No less than four ordinary are persons sleeping in the cemetery today who a few weeks ago had a license to live and enjoy this life as long, as any of us, and every one would have been living yet but for this confounded habit of carrying guns. J. W. packed a gun, and Max Peters, Miss Russell and he, sleep the eternal sleep. This crazy kid Brashear carried a gun and young Kielland has gone to his long home. Not one of the victim merited death. It was because, the. authorities .have winked, and are winking yet, at this form of law breaking. Every cigarette smoking yap of or twenty-twtwenty-onwho haunt the beer halls playing pool, carries a School boys gather half pint gun. harvest tobacco tags or sell old flasks, iron until they raise $1.35 and they get a gun. Every would-b- e tough guy in the country wears a gun, and every time he gets two beers and a soda in him wants to show off by threatening to kill some one, and sometimes he does it, as witness the tragedy which cost Kielland his life. There isn't anv use mincing words over the matter at all. This sacriiice of human life, for no earthly reason except that some ass wants to display his asinity. is criminal. If the press declines to criticise and declines to demand that the offenders be punished, it is equally criminal. Long ago Truth made a similar suggestion to this one. The law provides that an offender against the statute prohibiting carrying deadly weapons max' . Mc-Casl- in e, The Salt Lake Tribunes carpet-ba- g editor has received his instructions to boost the prosperity gag for all it is worth. He prints with religious faithfulness all the stuff forwarded to him from the journalistic campaign bureau, simply because it does not cost anything and has passed censorship as being the proper kind of political provender with which to fill the gaping maws of the prosperous. The. large number of want advertisements are referred to with great gusto, where everybody wants help. The matter of wages doe9 not seem to be considered, nor the fact that a large proportion of the want advertisements are rank swin dles, perpetrated by eastern tricksters is who live by their wits. Nothing is said of the rear prosperity which measured by the amount of money that of the people can save. An advance of 10 per cent in wageB and a doubling the price of the necessities of life never meant prosperity in any country. marEspecially is this true when the ket price of nccessties is arbitrarily in a governed by the trusts. Rocked trust cradle and buried in a trust coffin, the son of man is asked to howl for wolf of prosperity, while the gaunt want stands at the back door of bi9 with Chrisdugout. This corresponds tian science, wherein a man only thinks he is sick. , FOR SALE. Grocery Store, .very- central, first class location, good stock, 11,800. A great bargain.

The duties of the board are strictly in woman's sphere, and if a majority of women were on it Truth believes it would be to the advantage ot the educational system. Mrs. Kerr is a lady of culture and attainments and would grace the Women have been elected position. to the legislature, 'where they have no business, and they have also been elected to other public offices in this state for which men are. more suited, but no woman has ever had a place on the city board of education, notwithstanding the fact that that is a place in which women would shine. joint, the resort of harlots and their worse companions, a resort for criminals and a rendezvous for thieves and toughs, and should have been closed Kevoke the license, and long ago. when another is asked for see to it that the character of the man who asks for it is good.
