SUPPRESS RED"
SAYS President
SPECIAL MESSAGE ON ANARCH.
lsTs SENT TO CONGRESS ~ =
ROOSEVELT.


Employers Liability Bill Without
change-House Makes Progress
Despite Democratic Flllbuster.
Washington, Apr. 10-Suppression
of anarchy as the greatest question
before the nation was called to the at
tention of congress by President
Roosevelt in special message. The
executive submits what has been done
under existing statutes, but says there
should be further legislation.
The anarchist is declared the enemy
of all mankind and no paper, published
here or abroad, propagating anarch-
ism should be permitted to circulate
in the mails, the president declares.
This message, containing only about
100 words, is one of the shortest Mr..
Roosevelt has transmitted to con-
gress. With the message he trans
mitted report reviewing the legal
phases of the question by Attorney
General Bonaparte.
Message of the President.
The message of the president fol-
lows:
"To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: I herewith submit q
letter from the department Of Justice,
which explains itself. Under this
opinion, hold that existing statutes
give the president the power to pro-
hibit the postmaster general from
being used as an instrument in the
commission Of crime; that is, to pro-
hibit the use of the mails for the ad-
vocacy of murder, arson and treason.
Il shall act upon such construction.
Unquestionably, however, there should
be further legislation by congress in
this matter. When compared with
the suppression of anarchy, every
other question sinks into insignif-
canoe. The anarchist is the enemy of
humanity, the enemy of all mankind,
and his is deeper degree of Grim
inality than any other. No immigrant
is allowed to come to our shores if he
lished here or abroad should be per-
mitted circulation in this country, If
it propagates anarchistic opinions.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
