Jurisdiction over any man who kills
or attempts TO kill the president or any
man who by the constitution or by

presidency, while the punishment for
an unsuccessful attempt should be pro-

Anarchy is a crime against the whole
human race. and all mankind should
band against the anarchist. His crime
should be made an offense against the
law Of nations, like piracy and that

The president next considers busi-

satisfactory. He continues:

and the old customs which had almost
the binding force OF law were once
quite sufficient to regulate the ac-
cumulatioD and distribution Of wealth.
Since the Industrial changes which
have so enormously increased the pro-
ductiye power of mankind they are no
longer sufficient.

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1901
THE ORGANIZER IN COURT

George NJ. Guntner, a special organ
izer of the Woodworkers' Union from
Boston, was arrested yesterday in
Hornellsville, brought to jamestown
last night and this morning taken to
Mayville where he was arraigned on
two indictments. One charges him
with being a public nuisance, being
based upon alleged attempts of the or
ganizer to bring on a strike of the
woodworkers in jamestown during the
latter part of the summer. The other
Indictment accuses him of uttering
false rumors about a strike with the
object of depreciating the value of
bonds and stocks of jamestown manu-
facturies and running their business.
When arraigned Guntner pleaded not
guilty and was admitted to bail in the
sum of 5000. He was unable to furnish
bail and is now in the county Jail at
Mayville. 1t is expected that there will
be a speedy trial of the case, which
promises to be one of the most sensa-
tional in years in Chautauqua County.
The organizer IS always in tickl1sh
position. If he is particularly active
and successful in extending the power
of his union, he generally is blamed
for some serious labor disturbance like
this one at Hornellsville. II he causes
no strikes and labor disputes, the men
are wondering what good they are get
ting from the organization, which he
claims is so beneficial to their interests
An organizer from Boston in a New
York town can create a good deal more
of a rumpus than a whole body of
workers in their own factory.
The court in this case is in a delicate
position. It must not encroach upon
the rights of individuals and organiza-
lions, 1t must protect other individuals
from LOSSES, and property from destruc-
ton

ONE ANARCHIST PUNISHED

Johann Most, who has occupied the
centre of the stage as the leading an
archist, has been punished in New
York for publishing an article advocat-
ing assassination in his newspaper. He
has been sent to prison for a year.
His defense in court was, first, that
the article has been published so years
ago, reprinted by him 10 years ago, and
was printed and ready for distribution
before the President was shot. The
court held that the doctrines of the ar
ticle were malicious. Justice Hinsdale
read the opinion of the court, in which
he said:
1T is no answer to the evil and Grim
inal nature of this article to claim that
it was written for the purpose of de-
stroying crowned heads. 1t inculcates
and enforces the idea that murder is
the proper remedy to be applied against
rulers.
THE fact that it was published 80
years ago and again republished about
10 years ago only emphasizes and gives
added point to the criminality of repub-
fishing it at any time. 1t shows de-
liberate intent to inculcate and pro-
mulgate the doctrines of the article.
This we hold to be criminal act. 1t
is not necessary to trace any connec-
ton in this article with the assassina-
ton of the late President
THE offense here, in the eyes Of the
law, is precisely the same as if the
bloody event had never occurred. The
murder of the President only serves to
illustrate and illuminate the enormity
of the crime of the defendant in teach
ing his diabolical doctrine"

SOUTH AMERICANS cENsuRE

From Barranquilla, Colombia, South
America, The Spy has received copies
of resolutions adopted by the Ameri-
can citizens upon the receipt of the
news of the death of President Nc
Kinley, and an open letter to George
L. Wellington, senator from the state
of Maryland. In this letter Yelling
ton receives this singing rebuke::
Charity would lead to the hope that
you have not been correctly quoted
for we cannot conceive that so deer
malignancy can dwell in a human
breast. Without your disclaimer, we
must hold you as a man with a mind
as venomous and a heart as black as
the assassin of our President"
The resolution containing this trib-
ute to McKinley's character:
Resolved, that we hold that the acts
of his administration viii be written
in letters of gold on the pages of our
national history; that the sad ter
mination of his career places him be-
side Lincoln and Garfield as a martyr;
while his work of expanding our ma
tional domain associates his name i'm
mediately with that of the immortal
| Jefferson"

TAX ADVERTISING SIGNS

The newspapers of the city of Wor-
cester derive two-thirds of their in
come from advertising. While all of
them are presumed to be upon profit
able basis, none of the publishers claim
to be getting rich too fast The burden
of taxaation upon the business of pub
fishing newspaper is a serious item.
1t amounts perhaps to several per cent.
on the anA ount received by advertising.
1t is really tax on advertising and
on the rigIlt to do business. The wor-
cester papSrs are taxed over $4,000 a
year
The chief Competitor of the news
paper in the favor of the advertiser is
the proprietor Of the bill boards and
the street car \privileges and the
thousand and one schemes which de-
tract from the appearance of our cities
and offend public tai ste without any
regulation.
In Belgium and France advertising
signs are taxed the New York
Tribune proposes that tthey be taxed
in this country as well,l more for the
purpose of regulating the character OF
the signs and diminishing their mum
bgr, than to divert the money spent by
tn. advertisers to the newspapers, de
sirtble as such course might be.
The advertising sign has its uses. Il
Is a profitable industry, whether car
ried on by the house that advertises oil
by some firm that makes a speciality Of
the business. 1t should be taxed. Il
should pay some special tax and legis.
lation to that effect would have Z
double effect in increasing the revenues
of the state 1r the city and in dimin
fishing the publI1 nuisances to be seer
on all the streets and highways of tn,
land.

NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY LAW

The Importance of the national bank
ruptcy law has been demonstrated dur
ing the past two years. While some
grumbling has followed the admins
tration of the law because of the ease
with which some persons have appar-
emily been freed from old debts. in the
main the law has beer a distinct ad-
vantage in business.
No longer has the puzzling differ
ences between laws in different states
TO be studied. The evils due to va
rious state laws have been eliminated,
and even if a few important amend
ments are desirable, the present ma
tional bankruptcy law is just and fair
and wise. The credit and the CONNER
cial honor of every citizen of the Unit
ed States should be a matter of ma
tional and not of state legislation.
1t is to be hoped that the bank
ruptcy law will be followed by uniform
laws Of divorce and marriage. The
present condition of these laws and the
diversity Of law in the various states
is more than confusing. It is disgrace

the NEW TRIAL OF POWERS

Counsel of Ex-secretary of state, Ca
leb Powers, who is again on trial for
his life as accessory to the murder of
Governor Goebel challenged the entire
jury on account of political bias and
accused the officers of the court of
backing the jury for the purpose of
conviction.
Here is an example of the injustice
that may occur in the courts of any
criminal trial, even under our own
boasted institutions.
Goebel was a democrat. With the
aid of conspirators that he placed in
office, the lawfully elected governor of
Kentucky was deposed and is now a
fugitive from that state. The awful as
sassination of Goebel was Immediately
laid at the doors of his political oppo-
nents. This would happen, perhaps, in
no other state, but it has happened in
Kentucky and the rest of the nation
look askance at the method of the
courts and verdicts found there.
The higher courts of Kentucky had
to stay the proceedings and order a
new trial. We cannot but believe that
Powers is innocent. 1t does not seem
as if he had had a fair trial. If he is
guilty it is to be hoped that his guilt
will be established and that he will be
punished.
There is not a particle of sympathy
on political grounds for Powers. The
crime simply seems incredible and proof
wanting.
The late governor, Goebel, had been
man of blood himself. He had taken
human life. There has been no at
tempt, so far as we can learn, to seek
the murderer among those who had
private grievances against the MUIR
dered man. The motive has been as
sumed to be political and every effort
has been made to implicate the Re-
publican organization of the state and
as many Republicans as possible.

MEN AND AFFAIRS

Director Merriam has appointed DIR.
Davis r. Dewey, professor of political
economy and statistics in the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, an
expert special agent of the census to
prepare a report on wage statistics, in
connection with the census reports on
manufactures and the mechanical in
dustries. 1t is hoped, as a result of the
work now being organized under DR..
Dewey's personal supervision that the
twelfth census will be able to show the
actual wages paid in the great manu-
featuring industries of the country. To
obtain the facts regarding wages both
in 1890 and 1900, half dozen picked men
have been sent into the field by the
census office with instructions to copy
the pay rolls of typical and representa-
tive establishments, in different indus
tries and in different sections of the
country. The analysis of these pay
rolls which will be made under DR..
Dewey's superintendent it is stated,
will enable the census office to show ac-
tual rates of wages and determine &C
curately what the real trend of wages
has been, as between 1890 and 1900.

The st. Petersburg Svet remarks that
if Russia controlled Afghanistan, peace
with England would be assured" That
is to say it would be assured until
Russia was good and ready. There has
never been the slightest indication of
England's moving against Russia in
Central Asia: all that England wishes
is to be let alone, just as Japan does,
in the Far East. There is a general
demand in ST. Petersburg for the occu-
patton of Herat, until Afghanistan is
completely tranquilized." Russia has
been ready for a long time to occupy
Herat. 1t will be an interesting Incl

A New Jersey bank was wrecked
through the defalcations of it's cashier.
The receiver sued the directors of the
bank to recover the money lost through
the cashiers misconduct, and Vice
Chancellor Pitney has rendered deci-

rectors were remiss in suffering the
cashier, first, to overdraw his own ac-
count, and afterward to tamper with
those of depositors. The Vice Chan
cellor holds that the directors were
guilty of negligence in falling to super

to watch the cashiers methods. 1t is
