THE WAR AGAINST ANARCHh
ono Of the prvrli questions Of tue

archists. with the ier1ciiy Of wild
beasts, members Of that organization

Of ,hcm at least suom 10 bu utterly In
different 10 their fate ~ well ns that Of
their fellow men, the punishment Of
one has apparently no onoct upIn tho
Others. The execution OF Naiilantdid
not dctOr Breton from wfccking
tho Terminus hotel. causing the
death Of two persons AMI wound
log large number Of Others. With
demonlao CLEO he contemplated his
work aud dcflca tho whole world. And
wild threala arc already male BY reds
that fearful revenge will bp taken for
tho death Of Breton, when that wretch
shall have boon guillolined. The
probability IL that more outagcs will
bc committed. II looks AZ 81 the exist
ing lAws were insufficient TO check this
crime and that new measures must bo
adopted.
Anarchy ought 10 DO suppressed,
however, At any cost. And u Is eyi.
dent that tho present condition Of AZ.
fairs requires speedy action. The danger
Is that, unless the guardians Of law
aud order find an efficient remedy
against the growing evil, II will no.
quire such proportions as 10 be beyond
control. Some concerted international
action would seem 10 bo called for by
the emergency.
This auarchlslio leaders are mostly
peuona with confused ideas Of right
and wrong. Tboy have that little
education which IL said to DO u
dangerous thiAg, combined with Do
sire TO prey upon society, which ia s.ill
more dangerous. They hold society
responsible Tor all their mlslortunee, real
and imaginary and hate II. They arc the
real enemies Of law AMI order. But
fortunately these arc comparatively
fow and would rs such be powetlral.
There eKieIs, however, large elias, Of
people who arc honest enough nj heart
but who, ndetthe existing conditions,
arc unable to make much material
progress. They toll, toll, toll and yet
never come near many oithe comforts
II life which others seem 10 have
thrust upon them without effort. They
look upon their own lot 10 life a. ous
Of Wrelchodness. Among such tho nu.
htpreachouf q nd ready dlscples aud
ndhefcnls. These lool, upon such doc.
tTinee Ss a true gospel anu the adyo.

luded ana nothing more. IL has been
observed that few anarchist leaders
have been brought 10 Justice. IL Do
always some Wretch that ~ caught,
who Will rather dio than dlvulgo tho
names Of acc0mpllcoi, while tho real
plottor hld.a somewhere Ia u dark

type.
In the war against anarchy these
facts must DO considered. Lot the
governments Of the world and tho
Representatives aud the nations mako
II clear 10 tho ranks Of the toilng
muses. that thUir condition 10 matter
Of concern 10 them; that they are
sndeayoring TO amenorate their con.
dilion and help them along; let the
rulers, In buBi DO IA harmony with
tho majority OF the people thoy repro.
sent rather chan with the money gath.
ereH-And anarchy viii be- no more.
That will be its death blow. The
soil IA which 1t has grown viii then
no longer receive II. AMI as Tor those
who would still bs ondeavorlug to SOW
the weeds, they could easily be soGl 10
place where no harm could be Joao
by them.
This Is probably the only way 10
stamp out anarchism. History points
to this lesson, that whenever tho ms5gel
feel that tho authorities placed over
them arc their truo frisnds, tuey IN
turn viii uphold tho latter IN theI,
Efforts to buillup society on tho iouu-
