and the anarchists clearly come into |
this category. so that there is little need |
of further legislation concerning them
unless it be to make the methods of
punishment more effective But 1t is
necessary to first convict them. When
eve an anarchist by speech or writing
shall use language that may be fairls
interpreted as melting to crime he
should be arrested and brought to trial.
1t is to be expected and desired that
the United states Congress and the leg
islatures of all the states Of the Amer
lean union will give the laws under their
respective control a thorough overhaul
ing. Let all be done that can be done
with safety to free institutions and
the inalienable rights of the people.
Anarchism is an Importation, born in
other lands, and without decency or
federation. 1t is a national disgrace and
a personal menace to all. To e1tirpate
it should be the aim Of law and the
courts if it be possible I accomplish it.
At present the constitution OF the
United States is impotent to some ex-
tent. OF inadequate. to deal vigorously
and promptly with the reign of anar-
chy. Presidents and all other officials
are at the mercy of the deadly enc
mics. Mr.. Henry P. Curtis. a member
Of the republican club of Massachusetts,,
writes to the New York Tribune, pro-
posing to amend the constitution. He
writes: Making attempt on him
whether mortal or wounding or missing
should be made high treason, punish
able by death, and treating anarchists
as outlaws. This enactment should be
made a plank in the republican party
PLATFORM
Another proposition is to deny citi-
zenship to all anarchists. The law OF
naturalization now in force demands
good character and true loyalty to the
United States government. 1t requires
five years residence. n one year in
the state or territory in which he would
vote, and that during the time
he has behaved as a man of

That law would be sufficient if en-

and neglected. Politicians and ringsters
ruin it and hurt the country. The
Jacksonville Times-Union says peril

SOME STATISTICS AND FACTS AS
TO EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS.

Education is the parent of success. 1t
is not meant that every man Of good
or fair education is u success. Many
men thus educated fail in money-mak-
ing, where a fellow infinitely below him
in brain power and accomplishments,
would coin the dollars and financially
roll in clover" But education is a
lever TO hoist men into places OF sue
cess in many directions. 1t is true
many men achieve success on certain
business lines who are not literally edu-
Gated, and even some get on swimming
Iy in the world who have but little edu-
cation as too books They know how
to save and accumulate ducats Some
of the very rich fellows who have but
little of what is called knowledge and
education boast hat they ave got
rich without education. and their SOLO
monte opinions are quoted as evidence
that education is not essential. is not a
factor OF success in life.
There is a book initiating a similar
work issued for many years, in England
recently. published In Chicago, called
Who's Who in America" 1t is neces-
sarily partial, deficient. full of Omis-
sIons. But it is to a certain extent in
forming and convincing. 1t is a partial
attempt to give the names Of Americans
who have come to the front Doubtless
there are so many omitted as are men
toned. But let us see what the book
has in the way of information, and what
1t contributes to show how education
and success go hand in hand. There are
11.551 brief biographical sketches in the
volume. The subjects Of Sal of these
furnished the editors with full infor-
nation in regard to their educations,
1t appears from this information that
4.s10 were graduated from colleges. Now
the number of graduates of colleges are
comparatively few as compared with
he 77,OOO.O 900 of people in our country
All kinds of professional men are men
toned. including also. artists, newspa-
per men, machinists, capitalists, bank
presidents. merchants etc. You can add
-1,551 to the number given if proper
search be made. But those named are
understood to have succeeded in various
lires, and are notable in their sections
or states. Of these. sos were only edu-
Gated in common or public schools. But
S.1u a the higher education" In
Guiding those educated at the naval
and military academies. the total OF
collegiate rank is 5,775. All this pos
sesses a certain interest. 1t gives the
fullest contradiction 10 the silly stuff
that education is not necessary and, is
not a great factor in the way of success
and achievement. AS las been said OF
this array of names. young men read,

The problem Of clearing the land
from which trees have been removed
and. of sxterminating the persistent
growth Of shrHbbery has been solved
bv a Texas farmer, whose chief aid in
the enterprise il the goat. A man
who has studied the subject, speaking
of the work done by the browsing
goat, said that the animal shows his
generosity by giving his relation. the
sheep. an equal share Of the pasture,
and magnanimously turns over to the
sheep all the rich and succule MT
grasses. The goat also, aots - the
protector Of the sheep.

Near Kansas City a man has taken
advantage Of the Texans discovery
and has started to clear up with An
Qora goats a thousand acres of brush
wood.
The value Of the goat seems to be
appreciated by the residents Of the
western states. fact which was dem
onstrated az the fair of the American
Angora association. which took place
last month in Kansas City. About 5000
goats were exhibited. They camefrom
Kansas. Iowa, Texas. Missouri and
New Mexico. and among them were
some of the finest specimens in the
country. Many people who visited the
fair had never seen an Angora goat
before. and all listened attentively to
the papers which were read on the
subject OF the dainty animal and its
habits. traits and peculiarities
One breeder from Missouri said that
the presence of the goats in his pas
lures afforded him ample compensa-
tion for his investment in a flock of
