America and the Anarchists

Standing at Ellis Island, from whence they
are getting their farewell view of the Statue
of Liberty, Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman turn to the law they have long houted.
Into the courts they have denounced and de-
fed this pair of professional anarchists dive for
shelter Not as seekers for justice, or suppliants
for mercy, but to test the final technicality on
which they hope against hope they may be per-
mitted to longer enjoy the liberty afforded by
America. 4
Why does the government seek to GUST this
pair? Is the course in keeping with the theory
Of liberty that is guaranteed to all citizens?
Does there come time when the safety of our
institutions requires repression of opinion or
the beliefs of any?
Sober consideration can lead only to an af-
frmative answer to these questions. Emma
Goldman and Alexander Berkman for genera
eminent, and because of their deliberate and per-
sistent refusal to be bound by the laws to
which the mass of the people submit have
finally reached a point where expulsion from
the country is the only reasonable way to deal
with them. .....+
Americans do not lay heavy yoke on any.
Restraints on individual conduct are not special
in application. The widest possible latitude con-
sistent with general good is allowed to all, and
nowhere has the individual been given such un-
restricted exercise of his powers and been so
carefully and continually safeguarded in his
rights as here. A large part of all our difficult
ties has come from the fact that aliens have
failed to appreciate the responsibilities that go
with this. ...
These privileges do not include Indictment to
riot, to the throwing Of bombs, the assassina-
ton of public officials, or many of the other joys
of free and happy Russia That is why Emma
Goldman and Aleck Berkman are finally going
back to mingle with the multitude under the
soviets!

Bars On American Ships?

If the shipping boards only reason for in
stalling bars for the sale of liquor on its new
transatlantic passenger fleet is a thrifty desire
to promote travel and revenue its action is di-
reety in conflict with the prohibition program
deliberately adopted by congress and the states
that ratified the 18th amendment.
When prohibition was decreed, federal reve-
nues amounting in 1918 to $443 1899, 544 were sac
rihced. Other millions derived by states and
municipalities from like sources are going the
same way year after year. A careful estimate
Of property destroyed or adversely affected
places the total in excess of S1000000000.
In competition with foreign liners under
whose flag it is not crime to sell bottle of
beer or wine, the shipping board fears that
while they are catering to standing-room only
its palatial but cherries ships are likley to be
running empty or with only few austere
teetotalers in their cabins. But is not this the
new national policy, and when it was pro-
claimed did anybody reckon or care about the
cost?
We must commend to the old salts of the
shipping board the stern philosophy of the anti
saloon league, which takes no account of the
yrosser things OF life but finds its most salts
fvinp rewards in denying to others the comforts
to Which they have been accustomed. Steam
Sims that cannot be operated at profit on this
Man will naturally be condemned as dissolute
and immoral, and fit subjects for the junkman
or the bankruptcy court-New York World.

"Whlte Slaves of America"

A correspondent asks: "If 100000 men must
60 to Jail dig coal against their will, isn't it
time for some of our statesmen to write vol
ume on The White Slaves of American"
Of course, the hypothesis is absurd. Every
man-jack of the alleged 100000 is free to stop
work if he peases without agreement or con-
spiracy with anybody else. Only conspirng to
lessen coal production and freeze the country
out is contempt of court.
Nevertheless, the question suggests some
interesting contrasts. Cobden's volume was di
rected against real oppression. 1t struck at the
employment of young children in the coal mines,
the Harvesting them to coal cars, the impossbly
long hours, the demoralizing conditions of their
slavery 1t was a powerful book. In a sense
it may be said to have stirred England as the
United States was stirred by Uncle Toms
Cabin" : 1t fastened the reform of the evils it
criticised.
There was no piano in any miners house in
all Great Britain. There was no union of
and paid what they chose to pay. The employ
ment of children and women meant the destruc-
ton of the home; it was crime against the
rising generation. Nobody talked then of a
six-hour day. Fourteen was the common limit
Cobden's title was justified, and got additional
cry in the United States, strongly attacked by
some of the men who owned coal mines.
We are glad no young children are forced
to work in our mines. We are glad that miners
have much shorter day. We are not unwilling
to concede that unions have had large part in
producing the change. But today in America
the essential slavery is that imposed upon the
consumer, the ultimate consumer of coal; the
essential tyranny is the class tyranny of the
miners unions. One is tempted to suggest as
an analogue the comparison between car tyr
amy, which was bad enough, and soviet tyr
amy, which is very much worse, in Russia.
The community's interests demand the use
OF every agency of government to increase pro-
duction of fuel What is being done has the
sympathy and support of the best people in
every state. That it will prove efficient is the
hope of America.-Brook1yn Eagle.

physics, and chemistry So he spe-
cialized in these subjects so far as
possible in high school. Then he
went to large technical school and
took course in sanitary engineer
ing.
When he graduated, he got JOB
as assistant superintendent of a FL
tration plant in a medium sized city.
Shortly afterwards, a new mayor in
Millburg decided to clean up the
place and, believing in patronizing
home industries, he made Dick mu-
nicipal engineer. During his years
as city engineer. Dick has designed
and constructed sewerage system
for the city, designed and installed a
new system for purifying the city
water, and worked out several other
measures for the improving of living
conditions in the city. Since he took
office, the death rate from certain
diseases such as tuberculosis and
malaria has been reduced to almost
nothing ard health conditions
throughout the city are much bet
ter. .t
His term of office will soon be
ended and then, if he should not be
reappointed, he will be ready to go
to some other city to CARRY on the
same work, or to 60 into the service
of the state or federal government
in investigating and supervising
health conditions. or he may set up
himself as a consulting sanitary en-
gineer. 4

"A Police Court Case"

Referring to the Jenkins episode as "po-

the hope that if war comes with Mexico, it will
be for better cause Ordinarily, the treatment
accorded Consul jenkins would be sufficient.
He is an American citizen, and an officer of the
State department of the government. Raided
by bandits, he was forced to open safe, from
which not only his own money but consider

he was held prisoner until ransom of $l50,000
was paid his captors. On his return to head
quarters he was arrested by the Carranzista

Arriving at the school, she found
instead of the crude, poorly clad
specimens she had expected, a
group of healthy, capable mountain
beauties clothed in blue Bingham
uniforms and fired with a determin-

herself, she wondered how anyone
SO incompetent as Peggy Carol had
the nerve to think she could teach
these wide-awake girls.
By the end of the year. she had
learned much more than she had
taught. She had become so attached
to the girls that she decided to visit
their homes.
After two weeks horseback trip
through the mountains, she became
