NO MORE TOTIN" Sheriff Chas. Paxson's decision that the gun toter must go will meet with the approval of every law-abiding citizen. The annals of crime show that ten per cent of the murders are a result of someone carrying a gun." Concerning the sheriff's policy the Independence Reporter says: toting must cease.

There is tc be no monkey business about the order either. Sheriff Chas. M. Paxson has instructed to arrest every person, white or black, drunk or sober, whom they find totin' a gun. In this Sheriff Paxson will ask the COoperation of the city police.

He will ask every justice of the peace and the police judge to soak eVery gun toter brought into court, the limit. He wants it done a la Judge Kyle oJ Kansas City, who has a most salubrious way of fix ing the gun toter. Ordinarily, when the officers determine to arrest anyone, the reporter holds the story in confidence. But on this occasion, the sheriff made public announcement of the coming crusade and the sclas referred to may be assured that they will get what is coming to them if they are caught. "I mean to enforce this order on all alike." said Sheriff Paxson.

There is a promiscuous carrying of guns that augurs no good for anyone. It must be stopped. It is not safe tor people. These shootaffrays may result in innocent pedestrains getting killed or burt, to say nothing of the result to the combatants themselves." By the way the sheriff made the statement you could have understood thathe meant it. UNPLEASANT SURPRISE Sheriff J.

R. Woodard of Doug. las county, was in Tyro Wednesday to get R.F. Long, night burner at the brick plant. who is wanted at Lawrence on a very serious charge.

The complainant 1S of one of the leading families of Lawrence, so the Sheriff told the Herald editor. The arrest was made Tuesday evening by Marshal Dewitt on advice of the Doug. las county sheriff. Mr. Long fessed ignorance of the cause of the order for his arrest, but said if it was what he thought it might be, he would be able to straighten things up in a few days and would return to his work here.

Mr. Long has been here for several months and has always conducted himself in such a way that he has won many friends who are sorry to learn that he has gotten himself into trouble, and hope that he can prove his innocence, as he claims he can. SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN many hardships during those dark rapidly approach. No one has suggested observance of Memorial Sunday or Decoration Day in Tyro, and yet this town and vicinity is the home of twenty or more veterans of the Civii War men who made possible the prosperity and bappiness we enjoy today, and who braved every hardship and every danger to preserve the union of states that today is recognized as the leader ot all natioos We are told that in the past this day has been allowed to pass unnoticed here. The Herald believes such should not be the case this year.

Nothing does more toward instilling patriotism and love of country in the minds of the rising generatlon than the recounting of the heroic deeds of the soldiers of '61-'66, and patriotism is ove of the greatest elements that do to make up good citizenship. Usually one of the local minisers is chosen by their number to teliver a memorial sermo1 at a union service. and the old soldiers have a right to look to the minisry for such recognition. Special song service could be prepared for the occasion, and patriotic recitations and readings could very properly be added to make out a program that uld prove not only interesting but instructive and hear benefical results No one can deliver such an address so earnestly or so inspiringly as can an old soldier -one who -but the theme should, it seems, furnish sufficient inspiration for any pub lie speaker. Let's have at least observance of Memorial Sunday in Tyro this year.

We believe every old soldier would appreciate an opportunity to attend such service, as on that day of all days they must be think. C. N. Mathis and daughter, Missing of the many Frank Dob. they endured Lola, Dr.
