would lead her to appreciate the bless
ings of individual liberty, she has
steadily, for many years, abused its
privileges and goes up and down the
land proclaiming anaIchistic doctrines
unchallenged. Blowing with fiery
breath the coal between capital and
labor, and indorsing principles that
lead to disorder, with its consequences
of violence and murder, this woman
exemplifies every time she makes
speech upon public platform, the
generous tolerance of the Government
she coarsely reviles and impudently
defies.
The weak place in Republican
form of government is disclosed by the
freedom that is allowed to anarchists
whose boldly proclaimed mission it is
to encourage men and women to defy
the law under which they live and the
protection of which they claim.
Boosting what she calls the "philoso-
ply of anarchism," this woman goes
up and down the country sowing broad
cast with her breath and by means of
anarchistic pamphlets the doctrine of
violence as panacea for the ills of
poverty, the equalization of property
ownership and the necessity for labor.
These utterances, falling upon the ears
of the unthinking, arouse untutored
minds to pernicious activity; falling
upon the ears of the vicious, they them
incite to crime; upon the ears of labor,
already attuned to the whimperings of
self-pity. they take the form Of just
protest against conditions that compel
men to work for a living. To the ex-
tent that they find receptive soil,
they germinate as evil seed, take root
and bear fruitage of their kind.
Perhaps there is no way under our
institutions to prevent the broadcast
sowing of this evil seed, though the
crop that springs from it is plainly
menace to society and wanton abuse
of freedom of speech which is guaran-
teed to its citizens by magnanimous
Government. .-Oregonian

FRANCHISE NOT IRREvocABLE.

The right to do business is neither
franchise nor contract. Neither is
the right to breathe or to eat. Such
things are included under the funda-
mental declaration of the inalienaEle
rights of man. A public franchise is
no more necessary to the use of tele-
phone than to the manufacture of gas
or the running of department store.
Only when public power is included,
like the use of public streets or the ex-
ercise of the right of eminent domain,
does franchise become necessary.
All such powers are Governmental and
their exercise by private corporations
is terminable grant.
A franchise is not and cannot be-
como an inviolable contract, because
the state constitution, article s, section
1, specifically provides that "all
general laws and special acts" by vir-
tue of which corporations are created
"may be altered from time to time Oh
repealed. Therefore every corpora
tion takes its franchise powers subject
to their alteration or repeal at any
| time. Whether this is equitable OF
| just expedient, it is the law, and the
Legislature under the constitution hal
the power. It is as much violation
of lease at will for the landlord tt
terminate the tenancy as for the Legis
lature to terminate or to regulate 6
franchise. The constitutional imita-
tion is automatically accepted with
the Legislative grant. No business OIL
manuf acturing corporation would
claim that the Legislature must guar
antee its profits by refraining from
any act that would diminish them.
Public improvements may compel the
removal of factory or store to less
profitable location. No court would
therefore enjoin new park or the
opening of new street. All that
could be recovered would be damages
for the land and buildings taken for
public use.
A franchise is permit, 1evocable
grant, not contract or private pro.
perty. It is not either "irrevocable'
or "inviola BILE. T" for the simple reason
that the people in making their con
stitution prohibited that very thing. =
