Mexico Missouri message., 1901-09-26

loHOr III tnc latc lanlonted PRESIDENT
of anarchism, the chief article of
which is atheism, set forth in the
soul-chilling words: "There is no
God"
What is the remedy against this
great evil that would under mine
our institutions aud destroy the
Republic! | have been gratifed
at hearing, on this floor and in
this convention, the sentiment that
Christ preached and believed is
the only infallable remedy for this
and all our evils. True; and yet
we are to keep in mind that this
gospel of Christ carries with it
some things that can only be ne
complished thru human instru.
mentalities, among which are the
laws that are to govern men in
their relations to one another.
The time limit shuts me off from
any extended elaboration of this
thought. Suffice it tC say; There
are some things that have no right
to live in this free American Re-
public, and for the simple reason
that they strike at the very fouu.
dation of all law and order.
venture to name, in this presence,
two things of this class that OF
right ought to die at no distant
day-Anarchism and the Saloon;
these twin children of the devil;
these murdercrs, not only of our
Presidents, but of our children,
and the destroyerS of our homes.
| name them together because they
belong together and go together.
Would to God they could be bur
led in one common grave! They
represent the lowest, the vilcst
and most destructive elements that
are running our beloved land.
They are outlaws and deserve no
favor or mercy at the hands of
American freeman. The saloon is
the hot-bcd where these vipcrs of
anarchism are Matched and nursed
into life to go about their hellish
work
Trace the history of this man
C2olgosz, Emma Goldman, Tsaaks.
Herr Most and the rest, and where
do we find theml Always in the
saloon. There in the saloons OF
the dark alleys they meet and con
suit and plot, and from there with
whisky-tircd brains go about their
diabolic work.
We have tried every other rem.
cdy. 1t is useless to daily with
these questions any longer. The
life of our country is too dear to
longer experiment with remedies
of doubtful efficacy. Let the sur.
gcon knife be applied. We can
not afford To lose another Lincoln,
or Garfield, or Mckinley; nor can
we afford to lose the tens of thouS-
andS Of promising young men that
are going to drunkards' graves
thru the cnticcmcnts of the saloon.
Let the Christian nation of the
world select nu island in mid.
ocean, far away from other lands,
and there transport these murder
crs and free lovers and disturbcrs
of society, and thcr" let them in
their isolation, enjoy to the full
the results of their own teachings.
As lcpcrs of society, let them be
incXorably excluded from any con
tact with Christian civilization,
except it be- thru the service OF
Christian missionaries who are
willing to die as martyrs for the
Master. And when we are rid of
this vile brood, let ms shoot to the
death with the ballot these saloons
all over our Christian laud so that
there shall be- no Matching place
for all these vices that tend to un.
dermine and destroy us as pco-
pie. This the Christian people OF
America have the power and op.
portunity of doing just rs soon aS
they have the will, May God help
MS to do our duty.
