Doctor G. Stanley Hall, whose words

Professionalism restraints other uni

Anarchy Legitimized.

Whatever be the final result to the
mortal life of William Mckinley, the
shooting down of the President at
Buffalo calls upon the American peo-
pie and especially those who make
the laws to solemnly consider what
can be and should be done to sup
press anarchy in this country and to
protect the persons of our public men.
Three American Presidents shot
down within the space Of thirty-six
years, besides what has occurred in
the Republic Of France, is enough 10
demonstrate that the crowned head
is not the only shining mark which
attracts the aSsassin's bullet.
The word Republic is DO protection.
Our free government is misunder-
stood by the hot-brained fanatic. To
live under such a government and to
enjoy the opportunities which it af-
fords do not Soothe the fevered
brain of the murderous dreamer or
turn him from his purpose.
Our forefathers who came to this
land to escape oppression formed this
government in the name and for the
benefit of the common people. They
planted the tree Of liberty and water
ed it with their blood, that under its
protecting branches there might be
opportunity for the poor and protec-
ton for the oppressed of every land.
But while American opportunity. by
its example. has lifted all the peo-
pies Of the earth and has set star of
hope in every poor mans sky, and
while the tree of liberty has con-
tinued to grow until its branches
reach across the seas. under its pro.
lection, as a nest of serpents would
hatch out under the doorstep, this
accused anarchy has also Matched

nation of people who barely live 10
favorable seasons are left to perish
by starvation or the pestilence which
follows famine. In land without
roads it is impossible to reach the
great mass with supplies even if the
government could furnish them.
Hunger is the normal condition OF
the brute creation, says careful

of the starving millions of India,
China, and now of Russia, he might
add that it is the perpetual terror OF
the human race as well.

al has made US slow to enact sucn
laws and exert such force as is neces
sary merely to protect the lives OF
our public men.
We see opportunity going from
house to house, knocking at every
poor mans door, and we rejoice in
this; but we forget that with oppor-
tunity hand in hand should go force,
so that he who cannot understand or
will not embrace the one must at
least obey the other.
Why have we not seized this Amer
icap anarchy and crushed it with
force? Why? Because by the verv
genius Of our government and by all
the traditions of our liberty loving
people, we are slow to use force
against our own citizens. This man
who struck down President Mckin-
ley was an American citizen. His
ancestors are naturaliZed citizens.
The nest of anarchists who celebrated

Keesport, Pennsylvania, are foreign

Zens.
In every one of these is thousand
years of condensed hate, and they are
murderers by instinct. They are
worse to be admitted into our com
munity than the exiled convicts sent
over to the early settlement by the
English government. We know this.
The American people know it. 1t is
a truth that comes forcibly into the
minds of all thinking Americans al
this time. Nor is this new fact
that our country has for many year:
been gathering from the slums OF
Europe thousands Of dangerous PEG
pie who should never be allowed Il

no force to resist the coming and the

Recent Inventions.


1t will be easier to converse with
our friends by telegraph than to pay
them personal visits il the new Hun
garian system of telegraphy is a sue
cess. This system is a combination
of the telegraph. the telephone and
the photograph. 1t is stated that by
its use 10000 words an hour can be
sent and as many received in a con-
dition to be read without transcript
tion. Forty thousand words an hour
means over ten words second for
thirty-six consecutive seconds, rate
which ought to satisfy even BEN
Baker or The Peoples Choice.
Another of the recent inventions
which will soon be put upon the mar
ket is typewriting machine which
will take the place Of bookkeeper.
1t consists of three machines, and
saves the work of twelve men. If 1t

Foreign immigration.

The shooting of President Mckin-
lev by man whose name sounds like
a fire-cracker explosion will naturally
call attention to the danger of ad-
hitting these foreign tirebrand> so
freely to citizenship in the United
States. The Swedes, Danes, Nor
wegians and Scandinavians who join
our ranks rs citizens are honest. in
dustrious, strong-limbed and pure
hearted; in these men are the hope
Of the nation. While not giving evil
dence of unusual mentality, they are
possessed of average intelligence and
more than average common sense, and
a couple of generations will develop
them into citizens any country might
be proud to claim. The ChiLese. Jap
anese, Italians, Russians and Poles
who come over here must be judged
by a different standard. With no
idea of locating permanently and
adopting this country as their own,
they are here for the single purpose
of getting hold of American money
which they will return to their ma
tive land to enjoy. Among the 1tali-
ans and Poles particularly are found
hotbeds of rebellion and anarchy.
Erratic in temperament, unreasoning
and revengeful, all capitalists are
their natural enemies and all Amer
leans in positions of authority are
objects of their ignorant envy and
hatred. This problem Of foreign i'm
migration now facing the American
people is difficult one to settle.
Our sociologists and statesmen could
not find a more practical question for
consideration, or one Of more vital
interest to the American people.
Liquid Air.
Few discoveries have had the tene-
fit of more free advertising than
liquid air. Not only was it so won-
derful in itself, but it seemed to EN-.
body so many possibilities of power
that the world was dazed by it. The
revolution which it promised in all
forms of applied energy was like a
fairy tale. Goodness in summer,
warmth in winter. life-giving breath
for the invalid, extinction of con.
tagious germs, motor power for ma
chinery, explosives for warfare-there
was no limit to its usefulness. Then

organized for the manufacture of Pro-
fessor Tripler's newly discovered es.
sence of energy on scale to supply
the commercial demand which was
sure to arise. But genius is seldom
practical. The man of talent must
step in to interpret genius to its en-
vironment. In literature, music and
philosophy the man Of talent is the
disciple who introduces genius to the
common people; in commercial life he
is the inventor who knows how to
harness energy to machinery and
make it do the worlds work.
This fact seems to have been ignor.
ed in the zeal to promote the Liquid
Air company's stock and get it sold
on the market to the amount of near
Iy 100000. As matter of fact no
liquid air ever was manufactured by
the company in response to CONNER
cial demands, its product having been
used entirely for experimental and
advertising purposes. There were no
commercial demands because the
magic steed still stood embarrassed

Boston, Sept. 30.-The American board

that the ransom would be a dangerous

secretary of the board, expressed his
hearty appreciation. "The rescue of Miss
Stone is in the hands of the government"
he said. "We have had missionaries in
Turkey for two generations, but never a
case like this. Should we offer ransom
missionaries would never be safe from
capture"
