EXIT TWO ANARCHISTS

IT only took jury 40 minutes to con-
l Wet Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman for conspiracy to defeat con-
scription. This brace of impudent
foreign anarchists, refugees from Euro
pean autocratic tyranny to free America,
have done nothing since their coming
but abuse the hospitality of their gen.
erous host, and their sentence of two
years in Jail and fine of $40, 900 is mild
enough penalty for their crime.
Both of these loud-mouthed anarchists
have long been stirring up trouble here,
and Berkman served IA years in the
penitentiary for shooting Mr.. Prick.
The Goldman woman likened herself
and Berkman to Jesus Christ as justifi-
able defiers of the law. Christ was
the anarchist of his day. There is little
or no difference between his case and
ours" was her blasphemous contention.
The tyrannies of Europe breed this
horrid spawn Of assassins and anarch-
lists, and they flee to America to prac-
tice their deviltries instead Of using
them at home. 1t is pleasing to reflect
that these professional agitators, para
sites upon Labor, living without work
by merely wagging misunderstanding
tongues, will for the next two years get
a taste of honest toll.
