Great wisdom is shown in some of the
measures proposed that seek TO go to the
root of anarchy, Power ought to be given
to punish anarchistie utterances, to break
I'D anarchistic meetings, to deny the right
of asylum TO anarchists. to deport others
that are here, to prevent others from
coming All civilization ought 10 unite in
hunting out and driving out these men
But we should take care even in such
measures that in seeking an object so
IaudabIe we do not infringe the funda-
ueutaIs Of liberty and hurt ourselves
more than We hurt the anarchists We
may not lightly part with the right to
free speech and a free press. We should

English and American Jokes.
Chicago Trihune.l

Few American jokes can thrive in the
United Kingdom and few British Jokes
ever get accIimated in the United States
In fact, on both sides jokes are produced
mainly for domestic use, and only an ex-
ceedingly small proportion of them can
be exported. This is not as it should be-
II every American joke were received
with joy in London and every English joke
eelled forth roars of laughter in New
York the Anglo-Saxon alliance would be
cOnsummated in a burst of international
good humor. 1t is hard to resist man
who makes you laugh. Just now neither
side makes the other laugh often.

Paying Ransom to Brigands.


When missionaries go forth to labor
among pagans or heathens they go pre-
pared to lay down their lives il necessary.
While it would be too cruel to ask that
Miss Stone sacrifice herself for the good
Of the missionary cause, yet martyFdom
of that kind would cover her with glory.
Unquestionab!y, the most effective way to
discourage brigandage is to convince the
brigands that there is no money IN it.
When it is known that there will be no
ransoms there will be no kidnapping. If
q large ransom is paid in the present case
no American missionary will be safe in
Turkey or Bulgaria for many years to
come
