NOW SORRY THAT THEY SPOKE.
Yellow journalism and anarchy are
not far apart. The awful crime COM
mitted in Buffalo last Friday was COM
mitted by disciple of Emma Goldman.
Not long ago, it will be recalled, she
attempted to speak in Philadelphia. but
the mayor and the director Of public
s9fety prevented her from 80 doing.
Immediately yellow journalism rushed
to her rescue, and Wanamaker's North
American gave utterance to the follow
ing, among other printed remarks in
criticism of the officials for her sup
preston: THE silencing OF Emma
Goldman is an outrage" THE example
of lawlessness being given by the police
authorities is at once dangerous and
disgraceful Should force be met with
force the moral responsibility would
rest upon the stupid despots of the
City Hail."
The above is disgraceful reading; 1t
should cause Americans to blush for
shame. Emma Goldman, in Cleveland.
spoke the words which fired the brain
of young man to attempt the life of
our President. Had the officials of
oil fSfn
and prudence with those Of Philadel-
phia the crime would not have been
enacted One result of the attempted
assassination of the President will be
to make yellow journalism more alb
horrent than ever, and our lawmakers
should not lose sight of this dangerous
element in society when dealing with
anarchy and its attendant evils.-Ve-

CRIMINAL AS ANARCHISTS.
Emma Goldman and her nefarious
principles are responsible for Czol-
goszs determination to kill President
Mckinley. They infiamed his mind
and they formed his devi'sh ambition.

apostle of free speech by the Phila-
delphia North American. That news

reform and right living and honest
purposes should boldly defend one OF
the most dangerous anarchists in the
country and should denounce those

YELLOW PERIL AND A CURE.
| The Journal has had no hesitation
in pointing out where the real respon-
sibility rests for the crime against the

THE YELLOW PRESS.
Another instance is called to mind in
| Philadelphia where another yellow
paper was champion of Emma Goldman
when the murderous she-wolf mad ar
ranged to deliver a harangue in that

and the paper referred to said: THE

| The yellow newspaper made the right
of Emma Goldman to stand up before
a crowd and incite to assassination
greater than the right of the authori-

EMMA GOLDMAN WHO PREACHED
MURDER.
Emma Goldman, the leading anar-
chist of the country If not of the world,
stands charged with conspiracy to
murder the President of the United
States, and it is the duty of officers
of the law to discover every scrap of
evidence that will tend to prove this
and to present it TO a jury. This
woman has stalked about the country
breathing threats of vengeance on all
