CURRENT COMMENT.


laws to deal with anarchists
aliens, naturalized citizens or others
who come TO this country to make
trouble can be cited than the case OF
Emma Goldman. This woman, recent
" released from custody, Immediately
resumed her accustomed activity. Her
deportation has been ordered, but II Is
being delayed either by the milk-and-
water statutes bearing upon such
cases or by bureau Of immigration
that il suspected Of being In sympathy
with some OF the alien elements that
do not like the American system OF
government, Recently, the Goldman
woman, awaiting deportation, address
cd an audience Of her kind in Chicago
and, the dispatches say, violently
protested against being deported by
the government, declaring she was .
naturalixed citizen and would fight
the government to the last ditch She
preferred to pay her own expenses
and select her port Of destination, but
refused to 20 at the expense Of the
United States" Alexander Berkman,
another candidate for deportation, adj
dressed the same gathering. He de-
clared that anarchists. socialists, boil
sheviki and /. w. W. loved the United
States, but objected to laws passed as
war measures which they considered
aimed at them. These enemies Of
society will like the laws that are GO
ing TO be passed much less. for the
people Of the United States are begin
ming to tire Of the abuse Of hospitality
OF which these elements are SO per-
sistently guilty, There is demand
everywhere for legislation that will
not admit Of the present delay in get
ting rid Of them, and that legislation
will be forthcoming or the people will
know the reason why. II present
Laws are adequate to deal with such
cases. congress ought to summon the
officials OF the bureau Of immigration
to explain why these deportations do
not proceed, and why hundreds of
these proven anarchists are out on
bond roaming the country denouncing
our free institutions. II present laws
are not adequate, then congress ought
to realize that no question Of greater
Importance is pending for considera-
ton than the enactment Of laws sup
pressing these lawless elements, de-
and deporting promptly
those Of alisn birth, and finding ways
to deal with the native anarchists so
~ to render them harmless.
THE long course Of trucking and
duckinp In the government at
Washington to interests and forces
that arr not American and can have
nothing in common with America or
its istitutions has borne its fruitage.
Never before In the history Of this
government have the purposes of |
government and democracy been so
badly and insolently challenged at
home and abroad as they are now be-
ing challenged, Americans are be-
Ing murdered and robbed abroad and |
frozen and starved at home with equal

purposes for which it was establish |

policy that tells every trouble maker
who doesn't like America the way
Americans made ii to go to Europe or
