Cut Off Their Beer
Newark, N. J., is the scene of an
interesting experiment in the restraint of anarchy. The authorities
of that city propose to cut off the beer supply of the anarchists
who congregate there. Following the charge of Chief Justice Depue
and the action of the police in arresting several anarchists and
suspicious persons, the Excise Board has adopted this resolution:
Whereas, It has come to the notice of the Board of Excise that
certain saloonkeepers of this city have been guilty of permitting
anarchists to assemble in their places of business and make
speeches against the head of our Nation; therefore be it
Resolved, That any saloonkeepers
in this city who shall be charged by the police with harboring
anarchists or permitting them to hold meetings in their places
of business and make speeches against the Government and the
good order of the community, shall be deemed to be not the proper
kind of persons to conduct a business of this character, and
any person guilty of such offense shall suffer the revocation
of his license and be debarred from again receiving a license
to do business in this city.
How the Reds will be able to fire
up without fuel remains to be seen.
