RATES:
ANARCHIST TO BE DEPOQTfD

The Supreme Cou.t of the United
States has affirmed the judgment or tht
Federal Circuit Court for the New
York circuit in the matter of John
Turner, anarchist, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. This is a case which has at
tracted much attention in this country.
Turner, an avowed anarchist, was re-
fused a landing at Ellis Island. at New
York, by the immigration officials: the
case was heard in the lower Fedora
Court, which affirmed the rightfulness
of the exclusion: and now the highes'
court in the land has spoken the final
word. ard Turner must be sent back
across the sea.
The justice and legality Of this find
ing cannot he denied. The law express
ly excludes anarchists. and drects that
they be not received In this country
The immigration officials performed
their clear duty when they refused TO
admit him They were criticised for
this, but they are now wholly Wind :
Gated. And the law is vindicated at
the same time. and Congress would
have been unable to protect the coun-
try from the %irruption of the bloody
minded miscreants who come from
Europe, Their souls bent on vengeance
for Vulnerable w.onss of centuries.
and ready for any infamy, regardless
OF the fact that we have nothing to
do with the expressions which have
driven them mad.
But ii was argued for Turner, that
he is an educated man. a mild-man
nered gentleman, who would not think
of killing anybody. And yet. while
he was out on bail pending his appeal.
he did some lecturing, and while
preaching the doctr ne of revolt and
v%egeance, he was asked whether he ad-
vocated assassination. The most he
could say was that every n must
decide hat question for himself: he
had no prejudice either way. That is.
he has no condemnation of assass ma
ton: and if he had not been out on
bail, he might have given even more
positive counsel in favor of assasslna-
ton.
The fact that Tu ner is an educated
man, a good tGlker. a forc.ble writer.
is no reason why he should he made an
exception to the rule which excludes
anarchists. as long as he is clearly and
admittedly an anarchist himself. Or
the contrary, his gifts and attachments
make him mo e dangerous than an IL
literate anarchist with gun or knit,
in hand. Turner would do mo G dam
age in a month In the way of spreading
dangerous doctrine and squirting be
sotted n ignorant desperadoes to
STAY the offic ais of the country, thar
such an ignorant man could do in al
his life.
1t is surprising that so many of tbs
leading newspapers Of the country hav,
shown sympathy with Turner and hav,
pleaded that he be made an exception
to anarchist exclusion because of hi
ability and attachments. The view II
altogether .ong; for the very reason
of his eminence in these he should b,
doubly excluded.

A good idea Of the Democratic
apathy can be gained from the fact
that some of the best known Demo-
cratic speakers have not offered their
services to the state committee.
Even ]. H. Atwood, he Of the "silver
tongue" and incidentally national
committeeman, seems to be sulking.
David Overmyer has not been billed
anywhere. J. G. johnson will make
no speeches in Kansas. Senator Har.
ris says he is done since the Wichita
fiasco. Congressman Jackson will
not take the stump. Several other
Democratic orators of more or less
fame are also "too busy" to engage
in the campaign. Colonel Sapp says
he will have plenty Of speakers later
but the fact remains that Judge Dale
and Francis Brady, the candidate for
congressman at large, are about the
only speakers he can depend upon
and Brady disappointed him at the
Wichita meeting.

4 Good omcial.

One OF the best officials this county
ever had In charge Of lie legal affairs
Is c. G. Towner who has been county
attorney for two years and has been
renominated by acclamation by the
Republicans for another term. 1t Is
seldom that the county has 80 thor
oughly competent an officer or one
who looks after the peoples affairs
with such care and judgment.
MIR. Towner has not only conducted
the office with ability as is shown in
the cases LIE has brought In court but
be has conducted his Office in such q
way as to cost the tax payers the least
possible sum. In all the history Of
the county no attorney has made SO
little cost during two-year term.
Compared with the extravagant
record Of the Populist administrations
1t is pleasing showing. He has be.
gun no cases out of revenge; he has
refused to allow anybody to use the
county's law machinery as q collec-
ton agency and he has done his full
duty in preserving the peace and
of the county.
The voters Of the county will make
his majority larger than ever this
all for they are satisfied with the
rood service he has given. He has
made clean, honorable record and
'as the hearty commentator Of every
businessman and every citizen who
dmires capable, efficient public ser.
ice.
