V., APRIL ISO, 1IH1. [h* The I'istol Toting Hal)it. ' How many young men in Dillon jjfj are victims of the pistol toting hab- scl ?t? We call it a habit because we ?* know of no other excuse for carry- ! ? " ing a concealed weapon. Ask the! sal young man himself his reason for un carrying a pistol and nine times out; of ten he will tell you he doesn't know. He does not want to kill j Rc anybody, hut he feels uncomfortable an if his hip pocket is not weighted ithl down with a pistol. He feels a cer-1^ tain sense of security in the fact tin that he is armed to protect himself 1 bo if an emergency should arise in hr which he is compelled to use a pis- , 8U' tol. But why does he fear such an to emergeucy? Nowadays men do not ex walk around looking for somebody llu i ARfeu^o kill. One man may hold a griev- v? GKffi*Ve against another, but is that '^reason why he should feel im- eh to draw a pistol and shoot wi ether man to death on sight? ss a rule men who are always lug? ng oistols around are not the men t * ho do luc k ?erous man to trifle with S, -g he ,./ an who never goes armed. M A. Therefore why the necessity for carrying a pistol? It is imaginary fear which causes a man to be y afraid of another who "always car-! ries his gun." The man who "always carries his gun" acquired the habit in the days of his youth when he regarded it as a show of bravery to display his weapon. He coveted the reputation of a "dangerous man." He wanted to be known I among bis contemporaries as a "man who would shoot." That is all very ; well for a stripling of a youth who believes the "world is his" and that lie must assert his "manhood" before he really acquires it. Of course such a spirit is greatly to be de-' jilored, but as it can't be prevented, it must be tolerated until the fever loaves and the youth gets well. But j when the age of reason comes and j the youth grown-up discovers that this world is not such a dangerou s I place to live in after all, that all] his imaginary enemies have disap-, tpeared and that foot-pads,murderers,' thieves and thugs do not lurk in | every convenient hiding place, he continues to load his body down III *urU k a rt II lore u ml 11/ 1? v 9 Q i m nl V E cause he acquired the habit early in | life and he feels uncomfortable; without "his gun." Pistol toting is u pernicious hah-' it. It is almost as bad as drinking and a great deal worse than chew-! mg and smoking. It does not make the public afraid of a man, but makes the man afraid of himself, lie is fully conscious of the fact that every duy he breaks tho law and Ue Cannot feel for himself as mucu respect as he feels for the man who tries to live by the law. We are told that quite a number of men in Dillon are pistol toter8. We trust that our informant nits exaggerated conditions. But a new-comer told us recently that he was "warned to go armed in Dillon as everybody down there carried suns." We know that "everybody down here" does not carry "guns," { but those who do should feel some humiliation because their conduct '\p.. has given Dillon such an unworthy name. The P. D.
