not in favor of music being taught in the
schools.
After the election of the new commits

EMMA GoLDMAN's ANARCHY.
she's Tired or Old Forms and In Go-
ing 90 Teach New Ones.

Emma Goldman. an avowed leader
of the autouomist group of anarchists.
declared the other day that she has
abandoned the idea Of the propaganda
of deed and is preparing to preach a
new doctrine throughout the country.
SAYS the New York Sun. The propa-
ga.,da of deed means the killing Of
kings. emperors, capitalists or other
persons obnoxious to anarchists. and
the members of the autonomist group
dc their own killing as individuals and
without being responsible TO any one
but themselves, while the communists,
on the contrary. hold secret meetings
and assign persons 10 the work.
Emma says that while she Is an au-
tonomist she differs from most OF the
other reds as to what an anarchistic
state should be. She does not believe
that the killing of individuals will
hasten the advent of anarchy, and she
thinks that most of the anarchistlc
creeds have not liberty enough In them.
They all SAVIOR of authority, and she
does not want anything that even sug-
gests the idea Of government or au-
thority of any kind.
