ASKS FOR LAWS TO
SUPPRESS ANARCHY
President Declares the Reds Are
Enemies to All Mankind.
BARRED FROM THE MAIL
Society's Publication, Advocating
Arson, Murder and Treason,
Not to Be Circulated-Sedi-
tious Libels, Attorney
General Says.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Special.-
Inc President has forwarded TO Con-
greSS a letter from the Department
OF Justice on the subject of anarchy.
In his letter of transmittal he said:
To the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives:
herewith submit a letter from
the Department of Justice which ex-
plains itself. Under this opinion |
hold that existing statutes give the
PRESIDENT the power to prohibit the
Postmaster General from being used
as an instrument in the commission
OF crime; that is. TO prohibit the use
OF the mails for the advocacy of muir
der, arson and treason, and / shall
act upon such construction. UnQues-
tionably. however, there should be
further legislation by Congress i'm this
matter. When compared with the
suppression OF anarchy, every other
question sinks into insignificance.
Inc anarchist is the enemy of hu-
mainly. the enemy of all mankind.
and his Is deeper degree of Grim
inahty than any other. No immigrant
is allowed to come to our shores if
he is an anarchist: and no paper pub
lished here or abroad should be per-
mitted circulation in this country If
IL propagates anarchistic operations"
La Question Sociale.
Accompanying the message was a
letter from Attorney General Bona
parte, in reply to a request from the
PRESIDENT with reference to the use
of the mails by anarchistic papers.
The Attorney General reviews at great
length the article published in La
QUESTION: Sociale, which Postmaster
General Meyer barred from the mails
on the ground that il was intended
to incite anarchy. He finds that the
artlcie not only suggests. but urges.
arson. murder, riot and treason, both
against the State and National Gov
ernments.
There hardly can be a more Sc
ditious libel at common law" Mr.
Is onaparte says. lit is quite clear.
sttutes no offense against the United
states in the absence of some Fede-
raj statute making il one"
Although expressing the opinion
that the Postoffice Department has
ample authority to deny the paper
the use of the mails. the Attorney
General says that the utterances of
the paper do not constitute an ofrense
against the United States. Il advise
you,' says the Attorney General. that
in my opinion the Postmaster General
VIII be justified in excluding from
the mails any issue Of any periodical
otherwise entitled to the privileges of
second-class mail matter. which shall
contain any article constituting a Sc
ditious libel and counselling such
crimes as murder, arson, riot and
treason"
He holds that Congress has full
power under the Constitution TO enact
law expressly excluding such mat
ter from the mails, and me- - IL a
criminal offense TO attempt Tia use of
the mails for its circulation.
