THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Accompanying the presidents mes.
sage was letter from Atty Gen. Bon
aparte, in reply to request from the
president, with reference to the use of
the malls by anarchistic papers. The
attorney general reviews at length the
article published In La QUESTION: So
ciale, which Postmaster General Mey-
er barred from the mails. on the
ground that II was intended to incite
anarchy. He finds that the article
not only suggests, but urges arson.
murder, riot and bloodshed. both
against the state and the national gov
ernments.
II is believed in Detroit that the
presidents letter also has reference
to the case OF Joseph Labadie. the
pale Pink Anarchist" OF Detroit.
whose recent letter to friend. bear
ing various "stickers" on the envelope
quoting writer's of anarchistic trend,
was refused transmission through the
malls by a postoffice inspector.
