President. it is a fact. and every Senator knows it to be a fact. that it is the smart. halfeducated. wildeyed anarchist we have reason to dread. Who are the people who commit the revolting crimes we shrink from? You find them in the Black Hand. the Camorra. the nihilist organizations. and these. in large measure. are composed of men and women who could easily pass this literacy test. These you would not exclude by this test. and yet these are the people who commit the crimes we protest against as subversive of our ideas of government and likewise subversive of all public order. These are the people who commit the crimes that have disgraced civilization in their native lands. and they are the people who are importing their monstrous criminal practices to our shores.
