POLICE WON'T STOP HER

Emma Goldman, known as the wom-
an anarchist, will deliver two lectures
in Eastman's hail on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights of next week, The
subject of her first lecture will be
Francisco Ferrer and the Modern
School," and OF the second, The White
Slave Traffic" They viii be given I'M
der the management of DR.. Ben Reit-

Do you intend to prevent Emma
Goldman from speaking in this city?'
Chief of Police 5. Nj, Barlow was asked
last night.
II have no such intention" replied
the chief "If Emma behaves herself
she can certainly speak In this city.
and talk as much as she likes. But
there must be no red flag demohstra-
tions or other displays as might inter-
fere with the peace of the community.
We will not tolerate them unless they
are above criticism. We do not ex-
elude anyone willing TO obey the laws
and remain peaceful"
Miss Goldman recently lectured IN
Denver, and talked freely on the sub
Versive doctrines of her propaganda as
she expressed herself TO the curious and
interested crowds that gathered to hear
her speak. The converts to some theo-
ries We're from the intellectually inn
moral, the men and women who have
brains. but no standards of right and
wrong. Such as they fall the easiest
prey. to new theories, and among che
malcontents and dissatisfied the Cold
man radical ideas spread with the
rapidity Of a new gospel.
Sex Psychology Vital.
Sex psychology is the greatest ques-
ton before the world today, according
to the Goldman woman. Her beliefs
with regard to love and marriage are
generally we'll known and her practice
accords with her ideas. She makes no
secret of her personal acceptance of the
free love doctrine. and being beyond the
pale of social convention, apparently
suffers no inconvenience from public
condemnation of her course.
That woman's advancement is to
come about through spiritual awaken
ing, and not by means of the suffrage,
is one of the fixed beliefs OF he woman
anarchist Another is that woman's
emancipation from the bonds of mar
rage and her bodily freedom will give
her the spirit to cope with the world
and realize her own fullest possibilities.
Just how she is to make the home
loving woman prefer emancipation TO
Miss Goldman neglects to face. She re-
lies on intellectual women whose mat
ing instincts are subnormal for her
propagandists. An intellectualist of SUI
perior development. the high priestess
Of free love is a leader who will have a
certain vogue, but il is interesting to
note that men are more taken with her
advanced ideas than women.
Miss Goldman talked in Denver of
the enslavement of women, called COM
pulsory motherhood the greatest of all
crimes, and declared that women's
clubs are valueless in the movement
that looks towards their emancipation.
Her language is as free as her beliefs,
and both are wholly unmixed with re-
serve. She has opinions which she
voices in uncomprOmising words on
every known subject. Anarchistic in
tendency and subversive of accepted
standards they produce an unpleasant
upheaval in thinking minds, but after
the cyclonic disturbance of the Gold
man lectures becomes a day-old tale,
the normal human being is glad to ac-
cept things as they are.
