IMPLEMENTS OF EVIL.

We have received from the publish. CTS of blatant monthly publication an alleged literary note," with the request that we examine the same. The notice consists of a quotation from a wild screed written by that arch nuisance, Eugene V. Debs It has no merit as literary contribution, and it is special plea for murder Debs says he wishes to rescue the names of the anarchists who threw a bomb into a posse of Chicago police men, and were executed for the crime, from slander." He then goes on to call them martyrs and in a maudlin fashion proceeds to tell how he would like to bring them back to life, add ing: They are the evangelists of la Dor emancipation, and history will add their names to the roll of the most illustrious dead of the nation.''
 When the labor organizations of the United States have to depend upon bomb throwing anarchists to advance i their interests or to furinsh mart yrs," the situation is truly dep1orable We have more respect for what is erroneously and exclusively designat- ed as labor" meaning thereby, we persume, men who work with their hands-than to imagine that any light thinking, intelligent and patriotic American workman advocates mur- der, even though the victims be police men in the performance Of their duty. The guardians of the public peace i belong to the great army of laborers | They are the servants of the public, their functions being to protect the weak from the strong and vicious. They also protect labor itself from the attacks of men like Debs, who is an open and avowed enemy to organ ized society. When men like Debs are accepted as the apostles of '1abor' it IS a sign that anarchy is to be en- couraged. The security of Tabor itself depends upon organized society. The throwing of the bomb in Chicago was as much murder as would be the act Of an assassin who shot down an unprotected man upon the street and in the dark
 The Chicago publication which en- courages such men as Debs solely as the means of getting a circulation and
 a living for the publishers, could with
 propriety be stamped out Labor is
 d1gnlf1ed and it is recognized as such But labor is degraded when it ties
 to Debs and the vehicles througt
 which he is able to spread his doctrine
 of murder and anarchy. Wa have nc
 use for such publications. They ac
 compllsh no good, and they are al
 agency for much of evil.
 The counterpart of Debs in Arizon;
 Is Buckley. He is just as dangerou.
 and irresponsible and only less harm
 ful because of lack of opportunities As yet, however, Buckley has writer
 no books; neither does he publish ; magazine. In his case such expens
 is not necessary. So-called newspa pers published in the territory opel , their columns for hls use Througl
 those agencies are sown the seeds O disorder and anarchy. Debs succeed . ed by the aid of venal press in melt ing the great A. R. U. strike il which millions of dollars and man, lives were lost. Buckley and his or
 gans have not as yet reached that higl pinnacle of infamy and bloodshed
 but their methods and doctrines ar not unlike those of Debs and hi allies. The star of Debs has been de : clining for four years. Buckey's sta should never be permitted to rise They and their coherents are the Gu Fawkes of modern times.
