New York's New Weapon Law.

Some months ago the City of New York
was greatly shocked to learn that people
were carrying deadly weapons and using
them too freely for safety and comfort
Several murders occurred in short sue
cession to give point to demand for
more effective law against the gun
habit. After much debating, the legis-
lature finally passed ne& deadly
weapons statute defining as a felony the
carrying of any concealed weapons with
out written license issued by a police
magistrate or a justice of the peace.
This is totally inadequate response to
the entirely justified demand for an eff
fective anti-weapons law. No law which
simply declares the carrying Of concealed
weapons to be a felony or which pre-
scribes the issuing of a license for the
privilege of carrying such weapons
reaches the vital point of prevention.
There is only one way to stop weapon car
rying, and that is to stop weapon selling.
No matter now severely the law may
threaten with punishment those who are
caught with weapons concealed upon
them, men will continue to carry pistols
and deadly knives. particularly the form
er, from a totally mistaken notion OF
manliness and preparedness against pos
sibie trouble. The chances OF catching a
concealed. weapon carrier are as one in
ten thousand. Virtually the only time ne
is caught is when he uses his gun and

confidence Is expressed that the indict-

| The list Of indicted men includes q large

1t is virtually conceded that for years
after the enactment Of the Sherman anti
trust law the formation and maintenance
of monopoies proceeded without check.
There was for long time little DISPOSE
tion on the part of the government to
investigate and prosecute. The heads of
these large corporations appeared to feel
that the law was a bit OF buncombe
which its enactors and supposed admin
istrators had no intention of enforcing.
The public was gradually feeling more
and more heavily the effect Of the trade
monopoly enjoyed by these syndicates.

tained the constitutionality Of the statute
and has approved the condemnation of
the larger trust corporations. 1t remains
now to press these proceedings as rapidly
as possible and clean up the industrial
field to the full extent permitted by the
statute.
II may be that through the dissolution
DEGREES Of the courts and the individual
prosecution of those responsible for their
management business in the United
States will be readjusted to permit COM
petition and fair dealing between manu-
facturers and toward the public. Possibly
ways will be found to circumvent the
law. Corporation lawyers are shrewd in
finding methods Of lodging statutes. The
profits in sight Of the monopolists are
heavy and attractive. The governments
prosecutions. however successful they
may be at the present, will not complete
the process. 1t will be necessary for
those intrusted with the framing and ex-
ecution of laws to keep everlastingly at
the work Of checking the trust-forming
tendency.
