nNCE the Department of Labor begins to

OF the government and once the unwashcd
terrorist outfit begins to march aboard ship
bound for remote parts, the country may
expect to hear loud and agonized roar from
the "parlor" anarchists from the brave young
men who by their lurid writings have en-
couraged alien Reds to do their worst and
have misled these ignorant lunatics into be-
lieving that America is ripe for revolution.
FOR the time being the law may not be
able TO reach the American citizens who
are engaged in an effort to revolutionize the
United States, to sorietize this government
anu TO break down the bulwarks os law and

aliens to their native shores and the closing
OF the door to all newcomers who NAV seek
the destruction OF American institutions is
not enough TO silence the courageous re
formers the time may not be far off when
the statutes will be amended TO reach Them
too.
Every intelligent reader OF periodicals in
this country knows that there is an expand
