nly Afternoon Paper Between Richmond and Atlanta With Leased Wirt and Full Press Dispatches LAST EDITION. ALL THE MARKETS. THE RALEIGH. EVENING TIMES. VOLUME 30. RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1908. PRICE 5 CENTS. CONGRESS GETS LETTER ON SUB JECTOF ANARCHY FROM ATTY. GENERAL Prompted By Statement Print ed In La Questione Sociale, Organ of the Reds WHITE HOUSE WITH IT Compared With Suppression of Anarchy, Other Questions Sink Into Insignificance" (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, April 9. The' presi dent forwarded to congress today a letler from the department of justice on the subject of anarchy. In his letter of transmittal he says: "To the senate and house of rep resentatives: ' "1 herewith submit a letter from the department of justice which ex-i plains itself. Under t:iis opinion, I hold that, existing statutes .give -the president the power to prohibit the1 postmaster general from being used as an instrument in the commitment of crime that is, to prohibit the use of mails for the advocacy of murder, arson and treason, and I shall act upon such const ruction. Unquestionably, however, there should be further legislation by con gress in this matter. When com pared with the suppression Of anar chy, every other question sinks into insignificance. The anarchist is the enemy of humanity, the enemy of all mankind, and his is a deeper de gree of criminality than 'any other. No Immigrant Is allowed to come to our shores if he is an anarchist; and no paper., published here or abroad should be permitted circulation in this country if it propagates anarch istic opinions. THEODORE ROOSEVELT." The White House, April 9, 1908. Letter From Bonaparte. Accompanying the: message was a letter from Attorney General Bona parte, in reply to a request from the president with reference to the use of the mails by anarchistic papers. The attorney-general reviews at great length the article published in La Questione Soiale, which Postmaster-General Meyer barred from the mails on the ground that it was in tended to incite anarchy. He finds the article not only sug gests but urges arson, murder, riot and treason, both against the state and national governments. "There hardly can be a more sedi tious libel at common law," Mr, Bonaparte says. "It is quite clear, however, that such a publication constitutes no ' offense against the United' States in the absence of some federal statute making it. one." Although expressing the opinion that the post office department has ample authority to deny the paper the use of the mails, the attorney general says the utterances of the paper do not constitute an offense against the United States, '"I advise you," says the attorney general, "that, in my opinion, the postmaster-general will be justified In excluding from the mails any Issue of auy periodical, otherwise entitled to the privileges of second- class mall matter, which shall con tain any article constituting a sedi tious libel and counselling such crimes as murder, arson, riot and ' treason." He holds that congress has full . power under the constitution to en act a new law expressly excluding such matter from the malls, and making it a criminal offense to at tempt the use of the malls for Its circulation.
