crime produces its kind and tragedy,
shocking and significant. succeeds to trag-
edy.
King Humberts assassination is the
latest horror OF the expiring hours of the
century to threaten the stability OF
thrones and to disturb the peace OF Eu-
rope. More than Incidentally the shad-

Chicago, is the foremost hotbed OF the
anarchist society in this country few

mission which had fallen to him to as
sassinate Italy's king, chose to absolve
himself from pledge TO his anarchis-
tic allies in the murder OF the foreman
OF the silk mills where he worked. This
Paterson assassin YVES the fellow work
man and comrade Of the infuriate beast
who at Monza slew the most unoffending
monarch OF Europe.
1t is peculiarly unfortunate and, withal,
peculiarly significant that the plot 10
assassinate King Humbert should have
been consummated in an American fac
tory town, and that member Of a socie-
" pledged 10 reglcide should have
chosen, with the consent and appreciation
OF his associate conspirstors, but few
months ago, the alternative OF aseasslna-
ting his American foreman. by way o
fulfilling his oath to relieve his fell
low anarchists and socialists OF the op
pressor.
