 'If criminals did not posses fire arms police would not be obliged to carry guns. Make it impossible to procure guns and one+half of today crime will be entirely done away with
 The situation is so serious to-day that stringent regulation by the Fed eral Government, in co-operastion n with State authorities, is necessary because of the prevalence of gun play cries.
 James T. Drew, Chief of Police. Oakland:
 "Cr1me could not continue without guns. The logical thing to do would De to make it impossible for anyone 10 secure a gun without permit rom the proper authorities.
 Each State should have a com plete record of all gums sold and should require purchasers to have a permit The law-aibiding citizen does not need a gun, anyway

 United States Army, and Rear Ad- miral Edward Simpson. commandant of the Fourteenth Naval District have appeared before officials of the Anti Saloon League of Hawaii to plead for
 stricter enforcement of the prohibit ton laws.
 According to Admiral Simpson, number of enlisted men of the navy stationed at Pearl Harbor have had to be returned to the mainland for treatment of troubles which are traceable directly to the use of boot leg liquor. Insanity and blindness are mentioned as the most serious results encountered by the naval medical authorities. General Sunmeral1
 cited similar cases occurring in the ranks of the army and asked that the force of public opinion be brought to bear on those who have charge of prohibition enforcement.

Erin s Army Secures 2,OOO
 New Recruits

Dublin, July S-(BY THE A. P.) There has been a remarkable response to the provisional governments call for volunteers to assist ir putting down the Republican revolt In Dub lin nearly 2,000 men were enrolled for military service up to last night
 Progress in the campaign being waged against the Republicans in the provinces is indicated in todays off, ciaI communique. More than fifty prisoners were taken at ArkloW, County wicklow; Drogheda on the Louth Meath border; Newtown Gun ningham, County Donegal and Bal lymore Eustace, County Kildare.
 In statement regarding the al legations of the i'll treatment of the prisoners in Mount Joy which have been circulated the government says:
 The object of this propaganda IS purely politcial. The prisoners report the forces which have been respon- sible for. the footing and terrorism prevalent in Dublin and through out the country for the couple of months past. Many of them are young boys who were deceived by their leaders into the belief that they were entitled to plunder and even to take life. A minority belong to the ordln- ary criminal element.
 "Nevertheless, until such times as their cases can be individually ex- amined the government is prepared to treat the prisoners as military cap tives and allow them privileges no' accorded to ordinary prisoners.

New York 'sTines' Challenges Watson
 to Waive Immunity
(Spectal to The Tim es}

washington,- July S.-We do not
 know nor do we care whether Senator
 Jim Watson believes what he said in
 the Senate that the New York Times
 does not tell the truth about the tar1H
 because retail merchants will not let
 it. Senator Watson seems
 to regard the immunity of legislative
 halls as a license to utter any libel.
 If he will De obliging enough to re-
 peat this statement outside the Sen
 ate Cha r1ber, sheltered by no special
 responsible for his words. we shall
 make a reply to which he will be
 compelled to pay attention.-New
 York Times Editorial, June 23, 1922.
 To this indictment for libel and the
 challenge to waive immunity, Senator
 Watson has made no reply either in
 the Senate or in the public press, so
 far as we can learn He has not
 held legally responsible for his charge that importers control the policy Of that great newspaper, the New York
 Times. He has not even filed de- murrer to the indictment.
 To those who know the ethics of the metropolitan press, Senator Wat sons charge against the Times falls of it's own weight. Newspapers like the Times spend every year many times the amount of Senator Watson's s annual salary to keep their columns accurate, clean and fair. Their main policy is to print the news and to com n1ent thereon uIlnIluenCeO Dy any consideration except to tell the truth,
 which is the only reason for publish ing a newspaper. Their ethical code is as high and inf1exible as that of a virtuous man or woman. Advertisers do not place their advertisements in such papers as a matter of favor, but in order to get financial results from the quality and character of the cir 1 culation of such papers. The same is true of the leading Republican news papers of the United States as well as the great independent press.
 The charges that the metropolite press is influenced or controlled by | importers and retail merchants mad | by Senators McCumber and Watson | CIndD, are just as applicable to the smaller papers, for the so-called | county press is governed by the same code of morals as the metro politan dailies, and the few exceptions | in both cases only prove the rule | An incorruptible press is the chief safeguard of a nation. and when it is assailed by the sleight- of-hand tariff
 tinkers in the framing of an extor- | tionate traiff bill in the interest of | one class against every other class, 1 the honest press of the country, re- 1 gardless of party, should be a unit in | resenting and hebuking the assault.
