MOVEMENT IS N0N-PARTISAN
SENATOR VEST BURIES CONVICTION
OF A LIFETIME TO TAKE
LEAD.
FOUL BLOT MUST BE WIPED OUT
REPRESENTATIVE JENKINS DEEP
LY INTERESTED IN THE
NATTER.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-There will be .
prompt movement in congress looking tc
the stamping out of anarchists. It will b.
non-partisan movement. and headed by
a veteran legislator, who buries the con.
victions Of a lifetime ON the subject OF
state rights in order to aid in the effort
to remove the blot from the nations rec,
ord.
Early in the session a resolution will be
offered by Senator Vest Of Missouri call.
ing upon the committee on the judiciary
of the senate to furnish all laws known
in this country on the subject of anarchy
and it's doctrines. This will be done as
Basis for Congressional
action. Senator Vest believes that moth.
ing effective can be accomplished without
an amendment to the federal Constitution
This is not question upon which par.
ties may divide said Senator Vest. -
am an old-fashioned states rights mar
end would naturally be inclined to thinH
that 1t is the province of the states I'd
enact legislation suited to stamp out an.
archists within their borders. But this is.
national question and can only b{
reached properly by constitutional
amendment. 1t is amazing to reflect upoy
the fact that if President Mckinley had
been only seriously wounded or perhaps
paralyzed for life. by the ball striking
the SPINE it would have been only pos.
sible, under the laws of New York, to
punish the assassin by Imprisonment fol
ten years. Then the assassin would have
been liberated, to become q hero amOna
the members of the anarchist brood. Suck
condition of affairs and the peril which
surrounds men in high places demand
the prompt and vigorous assertion of the
majesty of law. We have followed Eng.
land in many things and we might go
further and adopt her policy for founding
a penal colony and deport such criminals
as those who assail law and government
ITSELF
Jenkins Takes 1t Up.
Representative Jenkins Of Chippewa
Falls, Wis, who is member Of the house
committee on judiciary, to-day spent sew.
eral hours at the department of justice
in conference with the officials concerning
plans for the suppression of anarchy
Judge Jenkins expresses the opinion thai
this evil cannot be reached by amend,
ments to the immigration laws. He sayi
Booth, Guiteau and Czolgosz were native,
born Americans, and that the enact.
ment of stringent immigration laws will
at best only be one of the measures to
be adopted to suppress anarchy. He is OF
the opinion that the most effective means
for this country to adopt, is to cooperate
with foreign countries in deporting an.
archists to penal colony. The law should
be so drafted as to prevent the violent
abuse of organized forms of society by
such agitatOrs as Goldman, Most anI
others. Representative Jenkins will have
charge of the bill, in the house. proposing
to create a national bureau of identified,
ton. If passed, such a bureau would bs
most effective in exercising genera
surveillance of anarchists. This legisla,
ton has been approved by the chiefs OF
police of the United States. It's purpose
is to establish a bureau here which shaD
keep complete record of all criminals IN
this country
