Once more, with reluctance, we waste
words and space in controversy with
the Manitowoc Tribune, paper so
insignificant that it is not worth cuss-
ing. This penny-a-liner sheet seems
bent upon keeping up the hullabaloo
over the Emma University
affair, but there is neither coherency
nor fair play in its arguments. In its
last reply The Tribune says the Pilot
quoted from university professor las
accusing certain other professors of the
university of honoring Emma Gold
man" The quotation in the Pilot was
from San old Graduate" and not from
zone of the university professors. y
To show the Tribune's incoherency of
argument, recklessness of statement
and abysmal rashness, we take the
following excerpt from its last reply:
''The average college professor, preach
er, lawyer and editor of today may be
well classed among the traitors of their
country. Twelve per cent of our pop
ulation own all of the wealth of the
country worth having with which they
buy up editors 10y the pound, lawyers
by the hundred and preachers by the
ton" 1t is no wonder that the cub who
will write such stuff proclaims Emma
Goldman "a pioneer Of advanced thought
and culture" and claims freedom of
speech for anarchists. The right of
free speech is glorious one and it
should be preserved, but the right of
free speech does not embrace the right
of instigating murder and treason.
Murder and treason are the weapons
of anarchism. To preach its creed is
to champion them. Therefore the an
archistic agitator should not be toera-
ted by the police power of the state.
Emma Goldman is an anarchist and
preached her diabolical beliefs at Mad
ison and several members of the facul-
ty of the university attended her lee
anarchist who is opposed to all re-
straint, and therefore averse to all law.
How then can the Tribune claim for En-
ma Goldman the right of free speech
under the constitution, the fundament-
al law. But, then, the Tribune has
long been notorious for fallacious rea-
soning, and provoking state of mind
fertile for anarchistic theories.
The Tribune says that president
Van Hise has issued an unqualified
statement to the effect that not one of
the university professors had anything
to do with Emma Goldman'S coming to
Madison" But Pres. Van Hise in his
unqualified statement also says, "Thc
only action which could possibly be in
terpreted as countenancing Miss Gold
mans teachings was the announcement
by one professor of a lecture to be Civ
en- by her" But, anyway, the Pilot
never said that the professors had any
thing to do with Emma Goldman $ com
| ing to Madison. What the Pilot kick
| ed against was the reception given her
by university professors and their mis-
guided students.
B. l.. Reitman the co-workcr and
companion of Emma Goldman was in
Ann Arbor last week and gave the un-
| iversity of Wisconsin this kind Of equ-
| vocal praise: "We were at Madison
several weeks ago and the students
there treated us royalty. They showed
an exceptional interest in anarchy"
VIM. d. Hoard, member Of the
board of regents OF the university, in
commenting on the affair in his paper,
the Jefferson County Union, says: 1--WE
doubt very much if a nine year old
farm boy could be found in all Wiscon-
sin who, knowing the Infamous history
Of that woman would accord her the
welcome that certain professors in the
university did
