Does Suppression supprsss !

Paterson has had an unique experience
among American cities. in that II has been the
headquarters for an active group OF anarchists
for many years. Somehow, anarchy and the silk
industry seem to go hand in hand in America
II is not 90 In other countries, and ought not to
be 80 in this But Paterson is the center Of the
great silk industry of the United States, and is
also the center for the J. W. w. and its kindred
organizations. Just now the city Is trying to
suppress one OF the leading spirits OF this ire
sponsible band of reckless agltators by prosecut-
ing Miss Elizabeth Flynn, under revived indict-
ment charging her with melting to riot.
Miss Flynn happens to be native-born citi-
zen, and without doubt is entitled to full privi-
leges in the matter OF FREQ speech The ques-
ton is OF the sufficiency OF the proceedings
against her. II may be recalled that about thirty
years ago a band of similar agtators stirred
Chicago to the Haymarket bomb episode and the
subsequent hanging of Parsons and others, and
the later pardon of three OF their associates by
Governor Altgeld. The lesson Of that affair
ought to be supplied by Paterson. Suppression
under the circumstances is likely to become op-
preston, and fail OF its purpose.
Before Elizabeth Flynn is banished from the
silk city. because OF her unbridled speech, some
thing should be done to determine II her charges
have foundation. and II they have. to remove the
cause. Industrial peace can not be established
on suppression OF free speech.

Meeting of the Kaisers.

The visit OF Emperor Wilhelm to Emperor
Franz Josef is an interesting episode, specially
noteworthy just at this time. While perhaps,
fraught with little of far-reaching importance. IL
has sentimental value of immense weight, and
as such will be regarded by students OF the
wars progress. Primarily, it ought to be suf-
fcient answer to reports that one of the central
powers is seeking separate peace with the en-
tente allies The strength of the Teutonic al
lance has for its foundation the absolute under
standing between the two emperors and their
complete agreement on points OF policy. From
this unanimity OF relation has proceeded the
harmony in the conduct OF joint campaigns,
which has been such factor in the success al
ready obtained. The Germanic peoples are still
united, and the visit of the German kaiser TO the
Austrian kaiser is proof OF this.

Some degree OF petulance is shown by each OF
