The ReVieaO Of Re0ieOS puts the thought
of the hour into this nutshell of express
sion: MANY things are not as we would
have them. 1t is of the very essence of
progress TO demand further progress and
to strive for higher individual. social
and political ideals. But our essential
safety here in the United States lies in
the deep popular consciousness that
modern society rests upon the basis of
the largest individual freedom that is
compatible with the common welfare,
and that it is the function of the law to
prescribe the rules under which life may
offer the best chances to everybody.
It is absurd for Europeans to call
our American system an experiment and
it is well-nigh reasonable for an Ameri-
can thus to refer to it; for in truth it is
the least experimental and the most COM
pletely self-sustaining system that the
world has ever seen. If one considers
the actual working constitutions of coun-
tries. ours is the oldest and the most
thoroughly tested of any that exists to-
day, ignoring Asiatio systems. 1t
is the stablest because it has most
perfectly expressed the equation of
law and liberty. Against such
Government who can rise without
dashing himself to pieces2 Anarchism
is puny and helpless. Lawlessness and
violence are manifest absurdities. If the
law needs to be altered to secure truer
measure or quality of liberty to all, then
peaceful discussion and the open ballot
box point out the way"
All which is very true. But while an
archism is puny and helpless, the Ameri-
can people do not deserve to suffer from
even the least of its stings. Its ultimate
may not be feared, but the annoyance of
its present is not justice. Let us do more
than scotch this ''puny" thing. Let US
kill it and deport its ashes.

reporting sensational cases of immortality
Or brutality. and in other ways appealing
to the sensual nature of man. If such a
petition is deemed necessary in England,
where the sensational press as we know
it here is unknown. how much more
important would the same movement be
in America. But then the idea of expect
ing such an appeal to command respect
from the lurid press of the United States
is ludierous. Really. 1t would stimulate
the sensational journals to greater efforts
to corrupt tastes and demoralize youth.
