% 900 in Chicago alone who are drilling in
the rear rooms of saloons, and that in
those same rear rooms there are anarcn-
iStic schools in which little children are
being taught the gospel Of murder and
dynamite?
IA some pains | have collected the
creeds Of the anarchists. | have compiled
it from the newspapers and from dOcu-
ments sent me from anarchstic organiza-
.ions in this city. These are the articles
in this diabOlical creed: | believe in no
God [ believe in no hereafter; l believe
in no civilizations; | believe III no mar
riage; all law is a lie; all property is rob-
berry; all government is tyranny; right
and wrong are mere prejudices; L believe
in no flag but the red flag Of anarchy; the
rich are only proper food FOR gun
powder and dynamite; | am sworn to live
and die under the articles Of that creed.
How accurately the Apostle drew their
picture nearly 2000 years ago. They walk
after the FISH in the lustS Of uncleanness
and despise governments; presumptuous
are they, lawless; they speak evil of au-
thOrity.' Yes, the anarchist deSpses gov
ernments. l can have patience with
mOuarchiSt; he believes IN government,
though it be the government of one man;
| can have patience with an ollgarchlst;
he believes in government though 1t be
a government by the few; | can have pa
lieves IN a government, though 1t be the
worst kind of government, but an an
archist believes In government or no kind
human or divine. He's opposed TO all law.
He would put to death every officer and
drag down not only every throne, but
every temple CT Justice and altar of reli-
gion. He goes forth with knife and torch
and dynamite bomb to make graveyard
or hell on earth. And say we ought to
Eave in this country only graveyard and
gallOws room for these men who come to
our country to tear down what has been
built through a century of toll and tears
and blood. Applause
The anarchis ST is as irrational as mad
dog and he ought to be dealt with 10 the
same way-stamped out like raitlesnake.
The Apostle goes on TO describe this
class OF men who existed in that age and
in every age. They are ma ural brute
beasts, having eyes full Of adultery and
that cannot cease from SIM The docu-
ment in my hand teaches free love and
anarchists practice the most horrid licen-
tiOusnPSs.
1.-The leading anarchists, Louise Michel,
John Most, Emma Goldman. illustrate by
living examples their beastlY creed.
The railroad companies just now are
manifestlng a reverence Tor law like that
the ancient Jews manifested for the ark
of the covenant And yet everybody
knows that these corporations are the big
gest law breakers in the land-only the
troops are never called out to make them
pay their taxes and quit brIbing legislators
and courts, give up the lands and money
OF which they have robbed the Govern
ment, stop rObbrg the public and diSgOrge
their ill-g0tten gains.
ut is right to put down lawleSsness on
the part of the strikers by the strong hand,
and if they have got themselves into con-
fiict vii the Government they have only
themselves to blame. But when we get
through with this little job it is hoped
way will De found to bring the big law
breakers to justice. 1t is easy to jail Cox.

some day we will serd milliOnaIres who

1.-The truth is there Is anarchy among
the rich as well as among the poor
Mammon, enthroned il power, intrenched
in law, insolent and arrogant, owning
courts and legislatures-that is our dan
ger and our despot. Riches that are above
law are more lawleSs than anarchism
itself
There are many things radically wrong
in our civilization, and labor has many
just grievances. But let the recent events
teach the labOrer that he cannot find re-
dress by becoming tyrant over his fellow
workman, who is willing 10 work at any
price rather than be idle; he cannot find
redress by destruction of property or per-
sonal violence; and when he does these
things he ruins his own cause by arTayiDg
himself at the side of every criminal in
the land, and by arraying every good citi-
zen IN very self-defense against him.
did you ever think, brother working
man, that this labor problem is confined
to CbristendOm-that IL is wholly prod
uct of Christian thought?
prince Bismarck says that this agita-
ton is beDe hcent; that 1t has arisen In the
evolution of civilization, and is one of
those upheavals that develop humanity for
civilization like boy comes to maturity
through growing pains.
There is no problem nor traces of agta-
tiou on this subject in Turkey, Arabia,
Persia, China, or any other nOn-Christian
land. In those lands the woTkingmen are
an ignorant stOlid mass, who have never
felt he thrill of The gospel.
What do these upheavals mean? They
mean that mighty hope is stirring in the
hearts of the people inspiring them to
search for remedies for social ills as never
before. They are cropping bindly and
mistakenly sometimes, but honestly, for
a better social order. In the new era that
is dawning cooperation and proft-Sharing
will take the place of competition.
Arbitration, legal. compulsory arbitra-
ton. that has solved the labor problem in
some Of the European States, will take the
place of strikes and lockouts, and Christ
will take the hard hand of labor and the
soft, jeweled hand of wealth and JOIN
them together in the clasp of common
