Full Text

The Italian anarchist who recently escaped from prison in his own country and sought an asylum here should be arrested and sent out of the country. He is addressing meetings of anarchists in the Eastern cities and announces that he will spend three months in this country organizing anarchist groups in the leading cities. This is a free country, and to it we welcome the oppressed of every land, but we should draw the line at those who go about preaching the destruction of all government. The anarchist and the professional revolutionist have no place here.
