SuggestiOns as to Ways of Suppress-
ing the American Reds.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
While this great people are sitting
bathed In tears, around the bedside Of the
almost martyred President beg leave to
offer, through your noble paper, for the
respectful consideration Of the American
people the three following suggestions:
1. Inasmuch as the murder of all rulers
Is the chief article Of the creed Of the an
archists. Congress should speedily pass
laws affording greater protection to the
lives Of our Presidents by making even
the attempt on the life OF President,
though unsuccessful, a capital crime de-
serving of death. A Presidents life is Of
more value than my life. for instance. In
the Presidents person Is embodied the
majesty OF the nation.
2. Congress should speedily pass laws
banfshing all known anarchists from this
free land, because they are the enemies
Of mankind and deserve not to live In
any civilized country. AS to law, where
there Is will there a way will be found
8. Inasmuch as the Presidents would-be
assassin openly declares that he was fired
see his published interview-to commit the
damnable deed by the Wild rawlings Of
Emma Goldman, who openly advised the
murder Of all rulers in q recent speech,
to which the fanatical Czolgosz listened,
she should be arrested as a parttceps
criminis equally guilty with the actual as
sassin and visited with the same punish
ment that is meted out to him. Better
mad dogs or roaring lions should have the
freedom Of the streets than Emma Gold
man. w. ]. MCKNIGHT.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t is only after an anarchistic atrocity
like the Haymarket riot or the attempted
assassination of our universally beloved
President that the American people stop
for a brief moment in their impetuous ca
reer and consider how fearfully close they
are slumbering to the awful crater Of the
seething volcano, anarchy, that they in
themselves have created by their open
door hospitality and whose already raging
fire Of envy, malice and hatred tht ;. are
continually feeding with liberal patronage
and privileged employment. I have scan

If every citizen were to perform his
bounden duty and for few months abso-
lutely refuse to patronize or employ any
foreigner with anarchistic tendency our
country would soon purge itself Of this
socialistic bile, even before the convening
of Congress. Then such laws should be
enacted as to forever keep our system
free from this most loathsome OF all ma
tional Affections, anarchism.
