Representative Newspapers De-
nounce Yellow Journalism.
THEY ENCOURAGED ANARCHY


Condemnation In the Comment Upon
the Assassination of the President
of the United States.
Throughout the United States the re-
spectacle conservative newspapers are
roundly scoring yellow journalism and
coupled with the Hearst few York
Journal, the Wanamaker North Amer
lean, with it's Emma Goldman protec
tion record, comes in for a full share
of denunciation.
Following are a few editorial utter
ances on this subject:
MORE THAN CONDENSATION.
We are the only civilized people
among whom the yellow journal exists
1t could not live amid a European peo
pie. Its gross indecency would shock
the public sense, so that room would
not be found for it. The American
people would show a distinct advance
by Withholding from these sheets pat
ronage and on-Indianapolis
News.
DOES NOT IMPLY LICENSE.
1t will be of no service to punish
Czolgosz while Emma Goldman goes
about the country instigating fresh
assassinations and groups of anarchists
openly meet to celebrate the crime
against humanity. Such meetings. such
teachings, are themselves a crime, and
should be SO recognized and treated
by stringent penalties. Freedom of
speech does not imply license to un-
dermine the structure of society, and
civilization must protect itself-Brad-
ford (Pa.) Argus.
YELLOW JOURNALISM AND AN
ARCHY.
Little less deep than the Indignation
against the assassin CZolgosz in the de-
nunciation of the newspapers of the
yellow Journal class, which, with their
TRADES against the heads of govern
ments and specious reasonings have
deluded such men as the attacker of
the President to deeds Of violence. 1t
is the cry of murderer" which these
scurrilous sheets have printed on ac-
count OF the wars with Spain and in
the Philippines against the President
that have inAamed the poor under
standing of men who lack the power
of discernment to distinguish between
reason and madness and have sent
these vultures upon law and order to
take from the head of government their
chief ofticer.-Towanda (Pa) Report
er Journal.
PREACH MURDER AND ASSASSI-
NATION.
Would the bloodthirsty men and
women who, while living in a civilized
community, preach murder and assass-
ination as remedy for political evils,
put their ideas into practice and kill
one another off. or would their novel
Imprisonment awaken them to the er-
ror of their ways and resolve them into
peaceable and useful citizens? Evil
IDENTIFY there is to be no lack of sugges-
tions for dealing with the followers of
Herr Most and Emma Goldman, and
1t will be surprising indeed if cur law
makers do not manage to evolve some
thing really practical out of the null
titude of ideas.-PittstCn Gazette.
PUT HER IN A CAGE.
Emma Goldman, anarehy's angel
with the flaming sword, who, it is al
legged, inspired President McKinley's
assassin to commit his foul deed, is
in the tolls of the police. 1t is sug-
gested that Miss Goldman be trans
ferred to Philadelphia and placed on
exhibition in a cage in front of the
Philadelphia sensational newspaper
which so eloquently championed her
rights when she was prevented from
holding anarchistic meetings several
months ago.-Bucks County Gazette.
CLAIMS TO BE RESPECTABLE.
Philadelphia newspaper which
claims to be respectable speaks of
Emma Goldman as "the representative
of the American right to free speech,
and there is no law in the United
States against preaching the gospel OF
anarchy" There is the law OF self
preservation which every government
may enforce.-The Indianapolis Jour-
nal
THE YELLOWS ARE CRAWLING.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has GER
tainly performed great service by it's
prompt. incisive and crushing indict-
ment of the New York Journal and the
Wanamaker yellow pest We certainly
note remarkable crawling" on the
part of the journals in question and
hurried desire to get in out OF the
wet But, as The Inquirer so graphi-
cally pointed out. their fell work has
been done. their poison has been cast
broadcast and the Nation head has
had to bear the blunt OF this gospel
OF hate and slander. Now that they
