term ct JsfssrsoR City for stealing.
You cay she began TRADE on all Law
and the restraining power Of civil gov-
ernneut. which 10 say was far from the
truth would be putting II very mildly.
On the contrary she outlined Q plan
whereby ell law and the restraining
power Of government might be. and
would be, placed in the hands Of all the
people 10 be administered direct by
them instead Of BY rev pie hunting
politicians a. at present, 70 the end that
the non-producers Of wealth and the
parasites Of society may be restrained
from robbing the working class Of eli
the wealth produced except bare SUBJ
sistcnce.
She screamed like wounded tigrsss
