Spiritualistic mediums throughout the

HAMLET GRAVE A FAKE

Shakespearean experts are denounc-
ing the proposition that Sir Henry Ir-
wing ard Ellen Terry appeal for funds
to place statue over the alleged grave
of Hamlet, prince of Denmark, at Elsi-
more.
1t is stated as fact by those who
ought to know that the grave now
marked as the resting place of Shakes
peare's greatest character is not Il
grave at all but merely a hoax. intend
ed to catch the American tourist. Hans
Christian Andersen of fairy tale fame
is appropriately given the credit for the
somewhat CHASTITY joke. 1t Is said that
he invented the grave after making n
statement that by such action he could
divert an army of American tourists to
Denmark yearly.
The fake grave was marked. and
sure enough. the guide books promptly
took it up, and year later the Ameri-
can tourists began trooping into Elsi-
mere to render tribute to the melancholy
prince.
The real grave of the real Hamlet Is
said by those who object to the pro-
posed monument to be on Moors island.

actment-malsing it a felony to advo-
cate the principles of anarchy. Lib
erty of free speech for anarchists has
vanished. The lesson has been brought
home to us in a fearful manner. The
people of the earth have organized
themselves into societies called gov
ernments. for mutual protection. Any
attempt to overthrow established gov
eminent is declared to be treason by
the laws Of all lands. But the laws OF
this country, at least, only contem-
plate overt acts. Absolute freedom of
speech has been conserved as one OF
our. most cherished institutions. Blu,
to longer extend this right to anarch-
lists will be criminal folly. The an
archist is human rattlesnake To per-
NIT him to advocate the destruction of
government and the assassination OF
the public servants OF the peorle--and
then protect him unedr the laws made
for the benefit of peaceable citizens. is
logically impossible. The avowed an
archist has put himself beyond the
of merciful consideration.
The moment he Is discovered he should
be imprisoned at solitary hard labor,
and if he has committed an act of vio-
.enee in promotion of his damnable
principles" ne should be destroyed by
the iron hand of the law, moving in
the solemn majesty of an outraged
people.

The charge has been current for
weeks that the city council Of Phoenix
or persons acting on
DIFFICULT behalf of the council
TO men or with their con-
BELIEVE, nivance-have been ex-
acting a ''rake-of
monthly from the wages and salaries
of the men in the service of this city.
The charge is so grave that 1t cannot
be spoken of lightly. The dismissal of
a popular, efficient and deserving meni-
Der of the fire department Is alleged
to be because he refused to put up his
allotted share of this piratical black
mail. The Republican can scarcely be-
lieve the councilmen guilty of this
awful infamy. If 1t be true that this
robbery Is being carried on it may be
depended upon that the peop,e OF Phoe-
nix will demand a severe reckoning
from the offending parties. 1t cannot
and will not be tolerated. That the
