what these self styled Anarchists,
Who talk 90 elibly Of dynamite and

Though they are often termed Social
ists. their belief has little in common
With socialism. The Socialist would at

strong enough. He has opinions and
can tell you how he came BY them. The
Anarchist, pure and simple, however, Is
different. He has never arrived at
conclusion OF any kind. He has nc
theory OF government which DO would
substitute for that upon which the pres
ent social system Is constructed. Hii

They usually consist of frenzied exhor
