chist shall come from other lands to
find shelter and protection under the
Stars and Stripes Let this nation

chists now within our borders. Take
your option. Either leave the country
or accept those restraints which civ.
ilized society puts upon the socially
unfit. and the criminal and the insane
Finally, let our government so sur.
round and follow with eternal viRi.
lance these yet unconfessed anarchists
that they shall be able to find no
place where their doctrines can take
root, no nook or corner in this broad
land where they can hide the secret of
a murderous plot and say, 1T is safe -
