1t will be noticed by the city council

made to protect the city lake front. 1t

ed into the lake. II any one will be
at the trouble to consult an old map of
the village of Southport, he will be
surprised to find so many streets and
blocks now missing. Taking an old
map as the basis of calculation, he
may determine how many years it will
take the lake to reach Main street, in
this city, at the rate of progress it has
made since the first map of the village
was recorded. None Of the present
generation need fear being disturbed
by the encroachment of the lake, ex-
cept property-owners near the shore.
But if no impeachment to the advance
of the lake be constructed, the time
will come when Main street and its
business houses will be engulfed in
Lake Michigan.

CONGRESS-THE ANARCHISTS
AND THE CHINESE.

Congress has now before it some i'm
portant questions of public policy.
Since the riots, particularly in Chicago
and Milwaukee, it has been fully de-
veloped that we are harboring immi-
grants from foreign lands who have
no sympathy with our government,
but who are plotting its overthrow, that
they may seize upon the spoils. The
attention of both Houses of Congress
has been called to this fact by petit
tions, asking for legislation prohibiting
the incoming Of this dangerous ele-
ment. The mischief caused by the
presence of anarchists in large cities is
apparent. The propriety of excluding
anarchists, whose purpose is to over
throw the existing order of things and
;naugurate revolutions, is far more
reasonable than to drive out the Chi
nese. The latter do not attempt to ex-
cite resistance to law and order, but
simply ask to be let alone to pursue
their industries without molestation.
Yet during the late debate in Congress
nearly all the members from the Pa
cific states were in favor of more
stringent laws to exclude the Chinese
from this country. The proposal to
prohibit the incoming of revolutionists
and anarchists met with but faint
response. Will Congress permit for
eign incendiaries freedom to our
shores, and discriminate against the
Chinese?

man, and what right has he to be paid
by the thousands, while lots of switch
tenders are getting only $3.50 day.
In fact, things are not divided up right.
Now / know two men. Both started
even, and yet one is worth $4,000 or
$4,000: the other has about his hands.
Now, why should not the rich one
share up with the other; they both
were born and now live in Kenosha
county. Here are two farms adjoin-
ing; two men started to work on them !;
both ran in debt for their land; one of
them died, left all clear, over six hun
dred dollars cash, farm we'll fenced
and stocked. and two boys, either OF
whom could have worked the farm.
Now, all is about gone, and the boys
are working by the day. The other
man died and his boys now own about
five hundred acres of land. and are still
rising. Now ought not the boys of the
second to help the boys of the first
one? have just read of the death of
one of the largest landowners in Corn
we'll He started in life as a miner,
worked for years at five dollars week,
bought share in the mine, then in a
second mine, bought in land, and was so
rich that the Prince of Wales visited
him at his house. Now why should he
not have been taxed to help his fellow
miners who spend their money for
beer?
The fact is, whilst we want tribu-
nal of arbitration, we want some
means of educating workmen up to a
higher level; to teach them that man
must try to rise himself before he has
any claim to be helped by others. The
gods help those that help themselves.
It would pay the rich to tax them
selves to have the boys growing up
for workers, to be able to reason cor
rectly on the nature of wages and put
ting them to proper use. A work
ing man once said to me: 6 The rich
men have their feet on the necks of
the poor men," He is surrounded by
men who have had no better chance
than he has had, yet have earned land
and have comfortable and respectable
homes. The thing that got in his neck
and kept him down was ignorance and
carelessness. j. C.

case OF the anarchists and rioters ar
rested and brought before him in that
city, gave the law and the rulings of
the courts in offenses of this kind,
which will prove timely warning to
many. The people in the large cities
have too long listened to incendiary
teachings. Judge Rogers said, . We
hear good deal of what constitutes
the freedom Of speech. There is no
constitutional right for men to as
semble and engage in incendlary
speeches. Men must be held response
BILE for what they incite others to do
This is correct principle. He who
incites another to commit crime can
be held to answer for the crime COM
mitted. The Chicago anarchists who
made infammatory speeches, counsel
ing the taking of life, are in accord
ance with the construction of law as
given by Judge Rogers liable to be
held for the crime OF murder. It is
simple principle of law, what man
causes to he done by another he does
by himself.
Judge Mallory, of Milwaukee. in
charging the Grand Jury in that city.
laid down the. principle as follows:
" 1t is not necessary that the person
should have actually participated in
the commission of the unlawful or
criminal act to make him responsible
for it, but every person who counsels,
hires. procures or incites others to the
commission of any unlawful or GRIM
inal act, is equally guilty with those
who committed the act, though such
person may not have been present at
the time of the commission of the of.
fense."
There has been in times past far too
much tolerance under the name of free
speech; its proper use is the inalien-
able right of all men, but its abuse has
been the cause of disorder, violence and
murder. The demand is now more
imperative than ever for punishment
of those who abuse free speech by en-
couraging the commission of crime.
Our principal cities are overrun with
foreign emissaries who have no sympa.

but abuse the freedom allowed them
to inculcate revoluti onary doctrines
and spread discomfort among the igno-
rant of their own nationalities. Al
though the leaders and participation in
the late riotous disturbances in Chica-
60 and Milwaukee were foreigners,
Judge Rogers and Judge Mallory both
declare the great body of our foreign
born citizens are law-abiding. and
should not be held responsible for the
acts of these reckless adventures.

FREE SPEECH-ITS LIMITA-
TIONS.

The recent arrests of anarchists and
socialists, bringing them before the
courts, will educate some people in
what are the privileges of free speech.
1t has been the constant boast that we
live in land of free speech. With
many persons there DOUBTLESS has been
misrepresentation as to what extent
free speech is allowable. They think
in free America every one can say
what he pleases without restraint of
law. The United States is not the
only country where free speech is pro-
tected by the fundamental laws of the
land. In England the Queen may be
criticised as freely as President Cleve-
land here.

STRAY NOTES BY A Way

A number of principles in govern
ment established by the revolution
were opposites-principles existing at
that time in English and colonial gov
eminent. 10 rouse the people to Wig
orous defense of popular government
these principles were used by the press
and orators so that they became deep
ly imbedded in the minds of the people.
One of these principles was free speech
and free press. The anarchists of
the old world, outside of England.
have neither one nor the other; but
they learn that they exist in the United
States, so they came here to enjoy
them, and then talked murder, rapine
and plumber, and the newspapers
laughed at them, and said, g Well, we
believe in free speech" So these for
eign communists kept do wn at home
came here to enjoy free speech, and
they spread their seed broadcast, and
it is now being harvested, and we
have come to know by sad experience
that free speech does not mean the
right to incite to riot and murder.
This lesson has cost us dearly, and it is
not yet thoroughly learnt. Some of our
justices and judges will be very tender
of these ignorant brutes, because you
see this is country of free speech.
The above arguments apply to a free
press just the same as free speech, so it
is not necessary to repeat. j. G.
The true friend of the working man

evils that afflict him and are under his

that is, leave off spending his money
for drink. AS long as workers spend a
large part of their earnings in drink no
power on earth can better their condi-
ton. Less hours at work for them
means more hours in the saloon, and an
increase in wages means more money
for the saloonkeeper, and nothing more
for the family at home. Of course
this does not apply to sober, steady
workers. If every worker who spends
about two-fifths Of his earnings in drink
and tobacco kept his family well
clothed and fed-in fact, spent his
money in useful articles-trade would
be much better. / was once clerk in
