few days ago the Missouri Bar Association adopted the following resolution:
 That the Missouri Bar Association hereby recom- mends to the congress of the United States and to the legislatures of each of the states in the union the passage of laws which shall, respectively, in sub stance, provide follows:
 That any person who shall privately or publicly advocate either verbally in writing attempt to bring about by individual action or by combining with others any changes in or notification of our laws constitutional statutory. state national, by of physical force violence shall be punished by imprisonment at hard labor, in the case of aliens by deportation.
 There was a preamble setting out the consti- tutional provisions for orderly changes in laws oy the will of the people We suppose this resolu- ton stands for the sentiment of more than ninety per cent of the people of the United States The less than ten cent of the people who will approve 1t consists of various clements We have many for -eigners, born made, anarchists we have American hobos who are opposed to the existing order because it involves work; have lot of dreamers who see vague and misty shapes in the air; faddists 10 whom bolshevism has only succeeded the monkey dinner to be succeeded in its turn by something else we have demsgogues who having failed to secure following elsewhere, have turned to the dissatisfied Then have another class-the half educated superficial suffering of mental indigestion incapable of assmilatng the stuff they have heard and read They for soviet Russia and want it transplanted here.
 Some of them, perhaps a majority of the last named class, are sincere. The lunatc and the idiot are always sincere The very ignorant man is sincere with respect to the matters which he sees dimly or hears uncertainty. They very important to him and all of us apt to be earnest about things that we believe to be important The people of this last class set their foolish fances against the exper fence of the ages
 None of these really vicious classes except the American hobo and the anarchist and there are not enough of them to constitute a menace in ordin- ary circumstances. Also in ordinary circumstances the other classes the faddst the half baked and the dreamer might be utterly dsregarded But some cir eumstances are not ordinary. We are passing through some now that ordinary
 There is a large number of coal miners and per- haps there may be large number of railway workers who will feel encouragement to provocation against the government. They do not want to overthrow the government but they believe they have grievance against it., They may become so infamnabe as to become combustble material for the handful of bo- shevists and then should have some trouble It is therein lies the danger of the of disorder and the reasons why they should be suppressed
 We want other government. We want no government of the worker" of the capitalist; no government of Presbyterans. Methodists or Baptists; none of Masons oddfellows; of blackhaired or blonde We want only a gov ernment of the whole people. That is what we have and what shall have so long as any orderly government stand. If 1t should fall we should have either ogarchy or anarchy
 But there is no danger of that. There will al- ways be enough sensible Americans easily to control the misguided and the vicious. The only drawback is that the sensible are apt to delay action until the trouble actually starts and some damage is done
