A FEW NOTED ANARCHISTS.

penditurs OF any real toll or manual labor.
Their purpose changes every moment; they
have no plans Of any moment; their eyes
wander, their grasp is not hrm, their pull is
feeble. their actual strength, measure for
measure. il less than that for ordinary men
and women, although at times some desper-
ate effort ~exeitss their utmost force and
they do an act Of terrific violence. But that
else of force 10 impossible to them and
therein passes the danger to our citizens
from anarchists.
They can neither walk, nor fight. nor
think. nor pursae physical or mental labor
for any period. Their endurance ia nil.
They have no stability. They are natural
born towards. They have no love in their
natures. The quality Is unknown to them.
Their love even to themselves admits of
doubt. for they do not pursue their own in
terests. nor concern themselv O. with the
things that it would be natural they should
DO. They are led by a few men in the
country who are anarchiats for revenue
only. All the world knows how free Am
erica has been from al organized move
ment of anarchists.
There ia NO room for tbs red here, and
his quick detection has weakened the bands
organized about the country. | have rooted
them out of New York, practically speak

lief and whether dangerous or not. The
anarchists know this, too. and my exposure
of John Most when be was taken from I'M
der a bed by my detectives shattered a
great anarchistic idol in America. His
sheep-like followers had idolized him.
When l sent him to the peuitentiary oring-
ing and bawiinR. anarchists began to see
through Most. He was a natural born
coward. When l find a character becoming
2 leader among tho anarchists in New York
expose him. and he disappears to new
fields. There are no good lenders among
the anarchists in this country. and there
viii never be q repetition here of tho recent
outraRes in Paris. The police of the prin-
cipal cities are working hand in hand with
me- to wipe out the organized bands of reds.
There need BIZ NO more fear from Ameri-
can anarchists because Berkman, a half
Eltted crank, tried to kill Mr.. Frick, OF the
Carnegie company. He was nothing more
or less than a poor deluded fool who had
an ambition for notoriety. He wanted to
be a leader, and failing in that, he tried to
kill a prominent man. do not believe he
was one OF a band of oonspirators. There
are no consplrators who are endeavoriua to
kill among the anarchists in America,
The anarchists over here are totally dif-
fsrent from those in Europe where able men
are leaders. Men become an archists in
Europe from necessity. The real strong
men in the bands xoross the oce an are those

Such men are the dangerous ones. Such
men are to be feared. 1t is not the coyardlv
va2abond who 10 known in America az nm
anarchist that ia to be feared. lie wouldn't
work if he could.
! found that the most effective vsy to
deal with anarchists in New York was TO
acate them and that task is u comparative
easy one.
There is little difficulty experienced in
securing evidence or information, The
moment a policeman shows up at a meeting
they all want to get out. All would confess
II we wanted them to. 30 wholesome il their
dread OF law. 1t is only from q few cranks
that there will ever be trouble. Now and
then a crank may try to kill or DESTROY
property, but in this century at least | do
not believe the anarchists will trouble "a
much. Good police precautions, plenty Of
arrests and stiff corporal punishment IL all
that Ia needed for tbs anarchists in Amer
lea.
A whipping post would be nm excellent
thing If l favored the punishment of bur
barous ages.
II 10 useless to try and reform the Amsri-
can anarchist. They are oallous to every
effort made for their improvement, thew
are alike Indifferent to the preacher and the
advances Of the official whose duty it is to
