we must not. as the mother Of States
has done. in panic go back on freedom ~
speech Tor that Is as dangerous as the
former We must give ideas a cbaDce TO
develop. All anarchistic teachings which
appeal 20 force must come under The nan
or the law All writings which auDeaI 10
force must be suppressed The ASA ssir
OF the President. although born in Ameri-
ca. IS really an alien. No rightminded
a deed
We must restrict undesirable fnmigra-
lion and insist that this country is no
dumping ground for the paupers and
criminals Of Europe. We must svstcrnati-
cally educate our f0reigu-born citizens
into recognition Of the splendid privileges
OF our Republic, and we must educate 0ur

law and crushed opposition I'm a truly am
archistic manner. and not stopped short
at even C0rrUptinE the legislatures While
such practical anarChism prevails "a.
must wonder AZ demonstrations and law
less disregard by exceptional individuals
The problem OF revolutionary anarch-
ism is a problem not for statesmen alone.
We must deepen our adherence Of law
leSsness. W. must cherish a deeper rev
crence for the law We must learn 10
hold all life. even In its humbIest forms
sacred. We must seek and cmbOdy what
ever truth there IS in philosophical an
archism- We must individually seek TO
realize the ideal, and become. each Of US.
sclf-gOverniuE beings. enshrining the
moral law so as to need NJ restraint Of
external legislation.
While doing this We must hold the un-
tanned lives around us In the strong
ma jcsty Of the law until they. too be-
come self-eXacting opponents Of law"
