in~Ah ib hut No Do atAoWco to fctnhth m this country is one about which 1t is hoped there Is no mistake. for she is one human being that our. country does not tSneed as a citizen and should not have. This is the refuge and hay en for the oppressed and down -trodden of all nations. 1t Is true. but it should not be made the refuge of the most debased and criminal of all nationali- ties. The line should be drawn some- where. and such as she should be kept on the other side of 1t.
 Emma Goldman is thoroughly dan gerous character: woman without the good qualities of her sex. a teacher and encourager of anarchy.<a a defer. of law and order and a breeder of crime and disorder. She seems to be one of those characters sometimes met with who have no place among iaw-abiding people and whs should be treated as outlaws. Wherever she goes there we may expect the seeds of criminaiity. and her presence in any portion of this country marks the beginning of unrest and lawlesaness.
 Our iiberality in, the admission of foreign immigrants is entirely too broad and it has been taken advantage of in so many ways that It is high time for some restrictions to be resorted to. It Is not uncommon for the authorities to send back to their own countries immigrants who have no means of sup port. and who are liable to become burdens on our own people or commun- ities. but one Emma Goldman is more to be refused admission to our shores than a shipload of people whose only fault or offence is their poverty. Bet ter care for hundreds of poor but law abiding visitors than one adept in criminal lawlessness like the Goldman woman.
 One of the curses of our county is the increase of anarchy with all it's cNA COuoC4ucnCcos IHC O1u WOEAO--OT portion of 1t, is seething with it. and 1t is continually finding vent in mur- der and assassination. From it's breed ing places and hotbeds in several Flu ropean nations it sends its spawn over here. where our liberal laws and loose administration of preventive measures assures them comparative immunity. and allows them ample time and op- portunity to plot and scheme for the perfection and accomplishment of their lawless purposes. Pity that Emma and all her breed and kind can not be barred out in the first place or sent out when their character is known. If our government had a sort of Botany Bay to which it could send known anarchists, and make 1t 8 death penalty for them to return 1t would add much to the peace and order of the country and to the security of life and prosperity. There is no reason why ''the land of the free and the home of the brave" should also be the refuge of the lawless element of other nations. Let Emma and all like her take their chances among the scums of their own breeding places.
 Ifras Is sincerely to be hoped, our government is at length awake to the danger from this source. and is thor oughIy in earnest in the orders and tii- rections issued on Tuesday last we may reasonably expect that a serious menace to good government will soon be stopped in this country. As we have said. there has been too much in- difference, leniency or whatever we may call it. inf the past in this respect, and it will be well if the glove is re- moved from the iron hand of justice and the plotters and breeders of crime sent out.
 And reverting to Emma Goldman fe- minds us that she made a speech or A talk or, something of the kind few days ago in St. Louis which was mild ness itself when compared with her usual way of talking. and which was a surprise to her hearers, and doubtless disgusted many of them, who expected nothing but sulphuric flames to issue from her mouth. The only explanation of this strange mildness Is that she had some information as to what the government proposed to do. and thought by show or repentance and change of heart she could Hull, suspi- cion and cause the government to go on as 1t had been doing. and thus give her and her kind a chance to hatch more devilment. In this we hope she will be disappointed, and that her hyp- ocritical show of moderation will not help her any. Uncle Sam vii not be deceived, we hope. by this subterfuge. but will close down on the whole tribe of anarchists. Let Emma be among the first to be bounced out for she is among the most dangerous.
