CI TTINC Ol'T I IKK ARMS Largest Merchandising Houses Co operate in LeHHcniiiK Crime I "A growing sense of responsibilitv !<-(? human welfare is seen in the m m action of two of the huy.e t merchandising houses in the world." .Mr. Julius liosenwald, president of Scyi s Koebuck Con\pany, which did * j mail-order business of over two hun? j drtd and fifteen million dollars in general merchandise last year* gives ! as his reasons for discontinuing the ! sale of firearms, as a desire to abate ? crime, for humane reasons, as well ! as the desire to be law-abiding. I Butler Bros,., the largest wholesale mailorder house in the -world, whose salt s of firearms in the fast ten years amounted to !> 1,500,000 have also dis continued sales of revolvers and pis tols. These facts are significant and it is to be hoped that other, firms will follow the action of the firms men tioned, by eliminating from their cat j alogucs and from their warerooms, all Weapons of a dangerous char-ac tor. There is little doubt but the increase in crime has been made easier, by the unrestricted sale of such weapons. While the sale of firearms to ir responsible persons continues, the menace and danger to human life will continue, and the victims of the] "empty gun" (?) will also increase. There are many individuals today who are regretting that th<?y did not make sure the gun was not loaded before] they pointed it at their victims. Accidents and crime will be greatly decreased when there is a nation wide restriction of the sale of firearm.--, as well as a heavy penalty for car rying weapons without officiol per mission. The teaching of humane ness, Kindness to Every Living Crea ture, will, when made a part of the regular training (if ail children of school age, furnish a foundation for justice, fairness, and pity for all life, both human and animal.
