 ing anarchistic doctrines should be al

 TREATMENT OF ASSASSINS.
 I earnestly recommend to the con-
 gress that in the exercise of it's wise
 discretion it should take into consider ation the coming to this country Of anarchists or persons protesting prin-
 ciples hostile to all government and
 justifying the murder of those placed in authority. Such individuals as those who not long ago gathered in open
 meeting to glorify the murder of King Humbert Of Italy perpetrate a crime
 and the law should ensure their rigor- ous punishment. They and those like them should be kept out of this coun- try; and if found here they should be promptly depOrted to the country whence they came; and far-reachin6 provision should be made for the pun ishment of those who stay. No mat ter calls more urgently for the wisesU thought of the congress.
 The federal courts should be given Jurisdiction over any man who kills or attempts to kill the president or any man who by the constitution or by law is in line of succession for the presi- dency, while the punishment for an un- successful attempt should be propor- tioned to the enormity of the offense against our institutions
 Anarchy is 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 form of manstealing known as the slave trade; for it is of far hlacker infainy than either. It should be so declared by treaties among all civilized powers. Such treaties would give to the federal government the power of dealing with the crime.
 4 grim commentary upon the folly of the anarchist position was afforded by the attitude of the law toward this very criminal who had just taken the life of the president. The people would have torn him limb from limb if it had not been that the law he defied was at once invoked in his behalf. So far from his deed being committed on behalf Of the people against the government the government was obliged at once to ex- ert it's full police power to save him from instant death at the hands of the people. Moreover, his deed worked noL the slightest dislocation in our govern mental system. and the danger of q re- currence of such deeds. no matter how great it might grow, would work only in the direction of strengthening and giving harshness to the forces of or der. No man will ever be restrained from becoming president by any fear as to his personal safety. If the risk to the presidents life became great. it would mean that the office would more and more come to be filled by men a5 a spirit which would make them reso- lute and merciless in dealing with ev- cry disorder. This great country will not fall into anarchy, and if anarchists should ever become a serious menace to it's institutions, they would not merely be stamped out. but would involve iu their own ruin every active or passive sympathizer with their doctrines. The American people aye slow to wrath. but when their wrath is once kindled i; burns luke a c0nsu1ninS flame.
 BUSINESS CONFIDENCE.
 During the last five years business ! confidence has been restored. and the ! nation is to be congratulated because of | it's present abounding prosperity. Such | prosperity can never be created i,y ! law alone, although it is easy enough i to destroy it by mischievous Jaws. If | the hand Of the Lord is heavy upon the | country, if flood or drought comes, hu- l man wisdom is powerless to avert the | calamity. Moreover, no law can guard I against the conseduences of our own | folly. The men who are idle or ere ! duIous, the men who seek gains not | by genuine work with head or hand buC | by gambling in any form, are always | source of menace not onfy to them | selves but to others. If the business | world loses it's head, it loses what legis- | lation cannot supply Fundamentally | the welfare of each citizen, and there ! fore the welfare of the aggregate of 1 which makes the nations, must | rest upon individual thrift and energy, resolution and intelligence. Nothing | can take the place of this individual capacity: but wise legislation and'hon- est and intelligent administration ca | give it the fullest scope, the largest op- | portunity to work to good effect
 The tremendous and highly complex industrial development which went on with ever accelerated rapidity during | the latter half of the nineteenth cen tury brings us face to face, at the be- ginning of the twentieth. with very serious social problems. The old laws. and the old customs which had almost the binding force of law, were once quite sufficient to regulate the accurnu- lation and distribution of wealth. Since the industrial changes which have so enormously increased the pro- ductive power of mankind, they are no longer sufficient.
 The growth of cities has gone on be-
