One of the exhibits at the next county fair in Metuchen, N. J., will be a prize Jersey anarchist, guaranteed to give results any place at any time. A farm where anarchists will be reared in proper anarchistic atmosphere was purchased recently by a man who said he was Harry Kelly, chairman of the Ferrer Settlement, of New York City. He bought the sixty-nine-acre farm of Walter Rush, in Raritan Township, where, he declared, the headquarters of the Ferrer School will be established about May 1st. “Our main object,” he said, “in establishing the colony is to produce genuine anarchists, and we must rear our children in a thoroughly anarchistic atmosphere.” The plot will be cut up into building lots. To each anarchist will be given one plot, upon which he is expected to sow the seeds of anarchy, tomatoes, and turnips. Kelly says the settlement will be the anarchist headquarters in the East. This town is all excited. It remembers with painful distinctness what happened four years ago, when the socialists established a colony near the site of the contemplated anarchist farm. Professor George D. Herron and Eugene V. Debs took the leading part in the formation of the socialist pasture ground. Nobody took more than the usual curious interest in the project until the announcement seeped into this town that Herron was going to bring Miss Carrie Rand to live with him “according to the new and simple form of marriage ceremony.” Metuchen isn’t exactly puritan, but when that news reached it, every Metuchenite dug his Bible out of the attic and joined his neighbor in excited protest. Metuchen was willing to tolerate some things, but when it came to winking at free love, never! So highly excited did the townsfolk become that Herron and his wife left for Florence, Italy, where they lived until her death a year ago. And even though the socialist farm was established, nothing that resembled free love ever made its appearance. That’s why Metuchen sizzles with palpitating expectation and teems with a throbbing skepticism. It knows what the I. W. W. folk have done in Paterson, another Jersey town, and it has read what the anarchists in New York are reputed to have done. Metuchen was able to repel the socialists when they would have set up a free-love colony in the neighborhood. But it is not so sure that it can stand off genuine anarchists. Rowing Dates for Year.
