"Murder by mail." So the mail-order traffic in the pistol is characterized. Bandits, bootleggers, hi-j ackers, professional murderers, and all the stealthy army of gunmen experience no difficulty in obtaining the tools of their trade. A few dollars for

the gun and a few more cents for the postage, and they have by return mail a weapon that is guaranteed to do the work—to protect the bootlegger from the police and hi-jackers and to help the professional gunman earn his murderous living. The accuracy of the guaranty is evidenced every day in the newspapers. Chief of Polce William P. Rut-ledge, of Detroit, told the International Association of Chiefs of Police, which met recently at Montreal, that 5,000 guns are shipped by mail into Detroit every year, and that other cities suffer from a similar experience. Abolition of the traffic is one of the chief items in the program of the Association, and it is also one of the Aims of the American Bar Association. In London the police go unarmed. In that city of 7,000,000 people fewer than 100 civilians are licensed to carry pistols, and even burglars are rarely found to have guns. Other countries which control the pistol traffic are Ireland, Holland, Canada, Japan, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Here bills designed to control the traffic have been introduced into both houses of Congress, and some of the States and many cities seek through their own laws to control the sale, and practically all fox*-bid carrying concealed weapons without a permit. The sad fact is however, that guns are too easily concealed, so while the law-abiding obey, the lawless do not.
Glance over gun catalogs and you will note that "wide-awake merchants are assured by the jobbers that the cataloged articles

within convenient reach thousands annually would escape the guilt of murder. If 90 per cent of the revolvers in the hands of individuals could be confiscated this week and they were debarred from further purchases, murder statistics for next week would be reduced in almost equal proportion.
But in the St. Louis Post Dispatch recently there appeared an article in which it can not see that anything will be achieved by prohibition of any kind, and it believes that even if the manufacture and sale of pistols were prohibited by law the thugs would be armed just the same. Any kind of an old gas-pipe will answer the purpose should expert gunsmiths fail, it says. The remedy, it thinks, lies in education and regulation, and "the more education, the less need for regulation.'
But as things are, it argues, it-would encourage its general use. The more citizens are familiar with the pistol and expert in its use, the better for the individuals
concerned and for the country at large, particularly in case of a national emergency. Also the less inducement for a thug to take a chance on a hold-up or on entering a home. If all policemen, mail clerks, pay-roll clerks, and others in similar responsible positions were fine shots, willing to use their weapons, the number of hold-ups and murders would dwindle remarkably. Still the police alone can not put an end to the admittedly scandalous situation. It must have the prompt support of the courts. The trial of a suspect should be over
