TOPICS OF THE DAY.

HOW TO DEAL WITH THE ANARCHISTS.

THE

HE editorials and communications that are appearing in the newspapers on the problem of the anarchist and what to do with him afford an interesting variety of remedies for what is universally conceded to be a pretty grave problem. It seems likely that Congress will take up the matter at its coming session, and Senator Allison, of Iowa, is quoted as saying that “a statute prohibiting gathering of anarchists is not improbable." "It is to be hoped," says the Washington Star, "that before the winter closes Congress will have passed a law to strike directly at the root of the evil and put a stop to the assemblage of persons preaching and entertaining views inimical to the institution of government in general, under as heavy a penalty as may safely be imposed." Such a law, the San Francisco Call observes, was prepared in 1894 by John G. Carlisle, then Secretary of the Treasury, but failed of passage because Congress was so taken up with the discussion of the tariff bill of that year. Information for the use of Congress is being collected, it is said, by post-office inspectors all over the country, who will obtain lists of all the anarchists in their districts and forward them to Washington, where Chief Wilkie of the secret service will have them printed in a "Red Book." In Rochester, N. Y., Justice Davy of the state supreme court, according to a despatch to the New York Sun, has ordered a searching investigation of the group of one hundred anarchists in Rochester, and ordered that every person found to be a member of the local society be indicted for conspiracy to overthrow the government. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says: "An avowed anarchist has no civil rights superior to those of the avowed thief. The community can be rid of one as readily as of the other. Every anarchist nest in the United States can be broken up and its members dispersed, every public anarchist meeting or parade can be prevented, and the entire anarchistic propaganda checked, if not suspended, by local police regulations, and a few general state statutes, which will not conflict with the provisions of the Constitution." And the St. Louis Globe-Democrat adds similarly: "Civilization has been tardy and weak in dealing with these demons. They should be deprived of a citizenship they denounce and denied a place in the

When the fact is

communities they seek to plunge into chaos. distinctly grasped that every anarchist is an assassin in his tendencies and propaganda, the hardpan of truth in his case will be reached and the remedy applied will be adequate. Banishment and exclusion are the only effective resources. The disease must be cut out with a steady, resolute hand."

Mr. John R. Dos Passos, a New York lawyer who is regarded as an authority on constitutional law, urges in a communication to the New York Times that alien anarchists be banished, that "societies which advocate such doctrines must be exterminated,” and that the Government "make it a misdemeanor for any person in public or private to profess anarchist principles as defined by law, or to counsel, advise, direct, command, or incite any one or more persons to become anarchists and commit the crimes of anarchy." As a part of this program he would "extinguish their journals and literature." The idea of banishing the anarchists seems to meet favor in many quarters. Dr. I. K. Funk, in a letter to the New York Sun, makes the picturesque suggestion that they be deported "to some one fruitful island, distant from land and from the usual roads of the sea, sufficiently large to comfortably hold and support all of this class of anarchists who may be found in the different civilized countries of the world; that this island be strongly guarded to prevent escape, otherwise these people to be allowed absolute freedom, free from all law and all control, free to practise anarchy and work it out to its logical results. It would be interesting," he remarks, "to see what these anarchists would do with the thief, the murderer, and other criminals who may rise up among them. The whole experiment would be educative, and to no one more so than to the anarchist."

Not a few journals of considerable weight, however, seriously doubt whether harsh treatment of the anarchists will do any good. The Philadelphia Press, Postmaster-General Smith's paper, notices briefly the remedies proposed by Mr. Dos Passos, and remarks that "it must be remembered that all [the restriction] now proposed in this country has existed for a decade in every continental country in Europe, without effect." And Albert Shaw says, in The Review of Reviews: “After all, no direct measures taken by national or state lawmakers can accomplish very much. The best safeguard lies in our greater devotion as a nation to all the best ideals of a democratic republic. As to the personal safety of our high officers of state, and of other men conspicuous in the world of affairs, we may indeed exercise a little more care; but we can not provide such safeguards as are thrown about a European monarch without such changes in our methods as are not feasible." So, too, thinks Mr. Bryan, who says, in his Commoner: "We can not give full protection to our officials merely by passing laws for the punishment of those who assault them; neither can we give them adequate protection by closing our gates to those known to advocate anarchy. These remedies, good as far as they go, are incomplete. We can only bring absolute security to our public servants by making the Government so just and so beneficent that every citizen will be willing to give his life if need be to preserve it to posterity."

"Rash or radical measures might do infinitely more harm than good," thinks the Chicago Tribune, and it believes that "it would be unfortunate if too sweeping a law should be enacted against immigrants." Charities (New York), whose editor has a close acquaintance with slum conditions in the metropolis, declares
