BONAPARTE WOULD HAVE
 NO MERCY ON ANARCHISTS
(ContInued from Flrgt Page.l

Continued from First Page.)
 tenths of our blame may be fully merit ed the public will not vverlook that tenth part of prejudice or over-state- ment which disigures it,
 In any event. to discharge or even forbid, free expression of public opin- ion as to public men would certainly not destroy, or even check anarchism.
 There was and is much more to be said in favor of those restrictions on immigration. which are intended to shut foreign anarchists from our shores; and it was undoubtedly well to arm the federal executive with wider powers to deport or otherwise rid the country of disloyal or turbulent aliens, whether these call themselves 'anarch- ists'' or not The fewer of such people we have in our midst, the better, and, although I do not believe it will ever prove practicable to slam the door in the face of anything like all of them all that we can bar out will be so much gain But, while we may thus reduce the number of our anarchists, it is sad ly certain that we cannot thus get rid or anarchism. We have now a home made brand of the article and although the original plant of this infant in- dustry'' was undoubtedly imported, the domestic product Is large enough to gravely trouble us,
 Anarchist is the product of two con- 1iRsr,,s 4a1. 10 E,o., less extent, among the less enlightened classes of modern civilized society, namely, the decay of religious faith, and { a measure of superficial and therefore unsound, popular education.
 i It is sometimes said that anarchism and socialism as systems are mutually antipodal and destructive. They are two divergent stems growing from the same root. That root is the doctrine that all men of right ought to be and should, therefore, be kept precisely equal.
 In this community a socislist merely lsubstitutes for the omnipotent omni- scient master an omnipotent, omni- sCient corporation made up of the slaves themselves, slaves, each one of them as an individual, to all, in their corporate capacity, and names this cor operation, The State" The anarchist demands that there be no government at all. It was a sin against equality that any one should be president while Czolgosz wasn't, and knew he never would be. "So much of the evil. How can it be cured? If we mean cured in a day month, a year, a decade, answer unhesitatingly-no at all. An Iarchism will not be removed within a given time; or through a special meas lire or set of measures. Perhaps it will lnot be wholly removed at any time or by any means. It will be for years perhaps for generations, a source of some peril would see ourselves and our public servants in earnest and willing to be guided by common sense and experience in seeking a remedy without regard to a little doctrinaire prejudice and q little pseudo-humani- tarfan clap-trap.
 "The unlawful acts prompted by an- larchism should be made crimes, in so far as they are not, strictly speaking, crimes already, and as crimes they should be visited with such penalties as are particularly effective deterrants to crime Tn dealing with a convicted anarchist two facts may well be re-
 nembered: The chances for his ref or1nation are so small that they may lsafely be neglected, and we can appeal for practical purposes to but one mo- q tive on his part to discourage a reptti- ton of his offense, namely, the fear of t physical pain and death To keep him f for years in penitentiary merely bur , dens the community with the support
 of an irreeoncilable enemy, with the E constant risk of his escape or pardon and the certainty that whenever he
 leaves he will be- if possible a worse l man than when he entered.
 Il "On anarchists the death penalty V should be unequlvocally imposed by f law and inflexibly executed whenever d the prisoner has sought, directly or in- V ldirectly, to take life. For offenses of . less gravity, advise a comparatively
 brief, but very rigorous imprisonment |, characterized by complete seclusion u deprivation of all comfort and denial of ' any form of distraction, and which V could be, to my mind, advantageously ,' supplemented by severe, but not a . public, whipping The lash, of all pun . ishments, most clearly shows the cul- II prit that he suffers for what his fellow v men hold odiouS and disgraceful, and l l1rNH
 Any abrldgement from fear of the 9 anarchists of that freedom of speech "A land of the press guaranteed us by oul state and federal constitutions would '| be neither a wise nor worthy policy; '. but these privileges in no wise shield 'l counsellors of crime or instigators ot $ disorder and rebellion. Any changes IS however sweeping, in our laws and II government may be urged, and any ar
 guments, however wild and grotesque l. advanced to justify them, provided the Il method of change be orderly and law
 ful, but a published writing recon. IS mending the murder of the chief mag Ie istrate, and the violent overthrow oi
 the government is a seditious libel al y, common law, and there is no good req. It son why such utterance or spoker
 words of the sane purport should not Il be made the like offense by statute # It is already a crime to advise a felony le or grave misdeneanor, if the advice d leads to the crins suggested, and there y is again no good reason why this
 should not become a substartiative of. is fense without regard to its oonse.
