Anarchy must be suppressed. ! think |
| have n solution. II / had the power
every man and woman of known auarch- |
istic tendency, as soon as they opened |
their mouth, would dcport them. II amy |
remained and attempted To preach the
doctrine / would send them 10 New Cas- |
tie Jail and have the Sheriff lash them
fifty times, twice day. for six months,
and then l would deport them This,
lhowever, you will say is not a solution,
but an determination and a deliverance.
My solution would be TO have one Of the
