THE EVENING STAI
| tack upon the anarchists IN this country.
Freedom Of speech. one OF the Doayted prIv-
leges of the great American republic, has
/ been abused, and the mistaken toferaffon
| Of the utterances OF the blatant fellows
| like those who infest Paterson, ". j., has
| borne fruit. The American people should
| now set about to draw the line between
| freedom of speech and license to advocate
| and applaud murder. The moment man
| or a woman opens his her mouth to
| preach the gospel Of murder just that mo-
| ment the speaker should be either impris-
| oned or ordered out of the country
Governor Stone of Pennsylvania in the Philadelphia
would have every state pass a law i'm
| prisoning in penitentiaries every one who
| writes, prints or speaks anarchist doctrines.
| Would make it a felony to belong to or
| visit any anarchistic lodge or meeting.
| Would punish by death any one who at
| tempts the life of the President, Vice Pres
| ident, members of the cabinet or judge of
the United States Supreme Court l would
! exterminate anarchists as 1 would rattle
snakes. l would make their residence In
| this country impossible, except in peniten-
| tiaries
From the Leavenworth Times
That the most drastic measures be taken
to wipe such creatures from the race OF
| the earth Is the consensus OF opinion. An
| archists and anarchistic societies should be
eradicated from the country. They have
| no place in American institutions.
From the Chicago News.
1t must be made clearly understood that
| in this country there is no room, and there
Will be no tolerance for the preachers OF
assassination, whether they be organized
| or not. The man who shot President Nc
| Kinley boasts that he is an anarchist The
first step in dealing with his case should be
to ascertain whether he Is acting in con-
| spiracy with other outlaws or on their in
spiration or suggestion. If SO. not only he,
but those who suggested or inspired his
murderous crime, must be brought to sum-
mary justice. The occasion has come for
such an impressive object lesson as will dis
| courage anarchist teachings and anarchist
plots as effectually the hanging Of the
| Haymarket anarchists discouraged the
propaganda in Chicago.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel
| While the nation mourns however the
people should not forget that anarchy still
| reigns in their midst and must be grappled
| with and conquered.
! From the Pittsburg Press.
| Let us hope that the life of our good and
| kindly hearted President Is to be spared
| many years longer to his people, and let us
| proclaim as a nation that anarchy, wher-
ever 1t Is found Or ayowed, shall be treated
| as a leprosy which should be prevented at
any cost from stalking longer untrammeled
| among the American people.
| From the Toledo Blade.
| There Is an anarchistic element In this
| country which should be stamped out even
/ If the most radical measures are necessary
| to do Free speech has been coddled
| here until 1t breaks out into open and viru-

| saw that this country Is asylum for the
| oppressed of all nations. It has become
| too much of an asylum for pIotters and
| schemers- against all government.
| From the Worcester (Mass) Gazette.
| 1t Is evident that the anarchists of the
| United States a force that must be
| coped with. There are in this country
many groups Of the very worst type, and
| they are a source Of great danger Several
! plots for the assassination of European
| rulers have been Matched over here, and
| now our own ruler is made the victim of
| plot or of the conception of one who has
studied in the school of the plotters This
| dangerous element Of the community must
| be crushed In some way. The American
people will be agreed upon that after this
| most serious occurrence.
| From the Syracuse Herald.
While sober second thought prompts us
| to deprecate violence in the case of the
1 u
| stern and widespread public demand for
| repressive measures against the scoundrels
| who preach this propaganda of murder
| under the name of anarchy. It Is a we'll
| established fact that many of these cut
| throats have found a resting place in the
United 'tates and are plying their hateful
| trade under the shelter of the American
flag: They have been drawn to our shores
| by liberal immigration laws and by the
| license of free speech that is permitted
| under our political cystem.
| From the Richmond Dispatch
| Our neglect of duty in respect OF deal
| ing with anarchists has been brought
| home to In a bitter and terrible ex-
perience-an experience which turned into
| a tragedy what was designed to be of the
nature Of a national festival. and which
| has caused deep sorrow and humiliation
throughout the entire country.
From the Lynchburg News.
| The simple truth Is that the anarchists
| are the enemies OF all rulers. all govern
ments and all organized society. If they
! could have their way they would reduce
| man to a state OF nature and bring back
social chaos They are public enemies that
ought not to be tolerated in any well-or-
/ dered community. They are too dangerous
| to be permitted to go at large and allowed
the opportunity to put their diabollcal
| principles into practice.
From the Portland NIe) Advertiser
| To begin with. the devils spawn of an
| archism must go That ts doubtless the
| thought of many Americans on hearing
| the details of the horrid crime that shock
ed the country early last evening. We have
| tolerated the assassination schools OF Chi
| cago and Paterson long enough. They
| must be cleaned out. The immigration
| laws debar Cinnamon, paupers and GRIM
| inals. They should be extended to include
| anarchists. who are murderers potentially
| If not actually.
