An anarchist is a man who seeks destruction. He is not a man who has a theory that all property should be owned in common. he is a destroyer. We have reached the point now in the exclusion of immigrants where we are prepared. the people are prepared. and the Senator from South Dakota himself is prepared. to say that a man who is an anarchist. that is to say. a man who believes in the destruction of everything in order to build up nothing upon it. ought to be kept out of this country. As the Senator from New York says. the question must finally be deteimined as to whether he shall be admitted by the inspection officers and the Secretary of the Treasury. After he gets in. the question whether he shall be deported is to depend upon the judgment of a court upon proof submitted to it. I do not see how we can any more carefully or wisely guard all persons desiring to come to this country and all persons who have come. The Senator from Massachusetts just now asked me about the board of inouiry.
