AN ISLAND FOR ANARCHISTS.

place it might be easily created. It would be an island-the government has acquired few loose ones where the anarchists would be far enough away to satisfy the most sanguinary exponent of lynch law-devoted to an archists. Let the sect go there and let it indulge it's widest, unshavel frenzy it's weirdest schemes or govern ment. all by itself. without the neces- sity of assassinating anyDody or way ing the red flag.
 There are possibilities in the sugges- ton. I think. A great rete day migh> be arranged upon the day of departure for Anarchy Isle. Somebody could write q poem comremorating the day. There are always poets ready. A ship, or two ships if necessary-two that mo- body cared particularly about-woulL be made ready for departure. A good anarchist captain and a fine, unwasne1 anarchist crew would have to be put aboard and trusted to the tender or fees of a splendidly careless anarchist steward. And they could get the ship ready for sailing. Oh, but they could get it ready,
 AIontauk Point or some equally inn mune spot should be selected for the point of elnbarkation, and there all the anarchists, those of Paterson. N. J.. the bundle from Chicago. the group in St. Louis, the L'Aurore newspaper plant. all in an ideal condition of i'll repute. might be gathered there for the day of setting sail. And the yachts and the revenue cutters and the white squ2drol and the merchant marine and the great liners, all the ships known to the seas, could assemble to see them off with anarchistic pandemonium- It
 
 spread fer Anarchy Isle. "Heave hoI'' would be sung in Herr Mosts choicest patois, and with the weighing Of the anchor a great red flag would fly from , the Inainmast, or wherever flags fly from, and then ho. for Anarchy Isle!
 The fit celebration of the departure would be all that the people of the United States would need to worry about After reaching the high seas the crowd could throw all the soap and fresh water overheard, kick the bunG out of another quarter. make the bar Der an able seaman and establish ideal anarchistic lack of rule. Merely as a suggestion there might be Rear Ad- miral Goldman and Commander Most to make speeches until the limit mark | ing the high seas was reached. The [ only difficulty would be that an element would immediately have it's knives out for this hint of governmental head | So perhaps this show of authority might be omitted
 l Of course. the first day out the cap tain would get an anonymous letter telling him to either resign his posi- ! ton or gracefully submit to harikari or some equally acceptable mode of pass ing. The captain probably would be- come one of the great ungoverned ! thereupon and everybody on board both ships would be captains. first off cers, able seamen ana vox populi rolled into a mass.
 ! For the good of the cause somebody of fitting humility might be permitted ! to take the wheel. That would insure [ arrival al Anarchy Isle. There would be no log, for the recent day logs have become treacherous things. and an- archy harbors nothing that is treach- l erous. Of course not Therefore will we omit the log. Would there were q los. for. the record of that first day out would be rarely enjoyable
 We'll, if the great urgoverned man aged to reach the country that had been made for them it would be a great debarkation. Nothing would be ;n charge of anybody. Everybody would rush ashore-carefully avoiding falline7 z into the water. The ship would proD- ably have to be burned about this time by general consent. During the de barkation some one Of the enthusiasts less soaked in the doctrines would rise to point of order that all might get ashore without difficulty. He would promptly be assassinated-
 Then the distribution of land would begin. Of course there would be d great many asssssinations during this period, for there would be two anarch- l ha body would try to settle the dispute and be promptly assassinated blythe disputants for aspiring to the presi- dency. In this way the numbers would be somewhat diminished. After all got settled on Anarchy Isle there might be some of them who would want to be farmers. but the probability is that all of them would want to live in cities where they could breathe natively i'm pure air and find slums to live in. And then there would be some removals by knife. revolver and dynamite mediums of persons who would endeavor to have some system followed in the allotment of vacations.
 It is hardly likely that the official or fsans would be issued. as every genuine anarchist knows as much as any other. They're all equal mentally. physically and financially. Nor is it likely tha OitlzeieSS Nroluilan WOuld care 10 in- dalge in speech making, as there would be nobody to infame to deeds of self sacrifice. simply because the opportu- nifty of d. of s-s. would be lacking Tine wane, eclipse and subsequent petrin- ca ation of the citizeness would shortly ensCe-
 The official brewer of the co-opera- tive plant would have troubles. There are differences of capacity among all men, and when one visitor would have become a liquor-laden paralytic others would have a large and fourishina thirst. The result would be that the day after the recovered paralytic would visit the brewer with complaint that l eft ,1.i.i .ilas
