Description

"The man who secretly arms himself with a murderous revolver or some other deadly weapon and goes out among people who have gathered for a day’s pleasure starts out wrong. It is in the very air for every American citizen to feel a swelling of the heart when the Fourth of July comes around. Many a fellow has mistaken this throb of patriotism for a license to run wild, and run right up against red hot trouble. The man who arms himself before leaving home looks very much like the man who leaves home on a hot hunt for trouble. Trouble is not hard to find. It is true that there are many people who seem to know no difference between pleasure and a row. To some, a row is a pleasure. Let all remember the laws of the land are stern. - Editor Lewis in Metropolis."
