The TCcent visit of a pmplte:-.-. ,.f "" ' 1 n to Salt Lake has served to awaken i-.-. . .- :;i .;lr istic doctrines of the theoretical r. utl -j. trouble with the anarchists ihat ,:,f ;r i i(.a;; too high, and their method ot ";::iL; or,nin). people like kings and president - m. ;;.; dard by use of dynamite is alm, ,inr; ' ing to need elucidation.

On the subject of anarchy the pre-ident rpvn:-ly rpvn:-ly sent a special message to congress. Hp i:rgd the necessity of adequate legislation to pal with anarchists, which legislation could well hare bra enacted immediately after the as-a-i:ia?ion p President MeKinley. But in dealing with thi-c!. of undesirable citizens, it is the opinion of certain eminent jurists that no adequate remedy, can be applied that will not come in conflict with the provisions pro-visions of the constitution. If such i- thr ca.-p, it is a waste of time to attempt any legislation urn! the constitution receives the necessary amendmec. The framers of our constitution could not have anticipated an-ticipated such a condition as now confronts the nation, na-tion, and when they made it to guarantee freedom speech they did not contemplate the teaching of a doctrine Jhat assassination was a commendable a". While the nation should exercise great caution in addition amendments to the constitution, in th:! matter, if it is found to be inadequate the duty to do so is plain. Buf whether by congressional enactment or b" constitutional amendment, any law which can V enacted should strike deep into the vitals of th;? enemy of society and of government. It should no; only punish the crimes committed by anarchists but should tend to the complete eradication of the teaching of anarchy, whether by spoken or published pub-lished word. Anything less than this would indicate folly equal to that of a roan with a cigarette in a powder house. |
