When Leon Czolgosz was arrested he
proclaimed himself an anarchist and said
that his brain had been fired by the
teaching of Emma Goldman, the Wom-
an who is believed to be concerned in
the plot to kill President Mckinley, but
it is doubtful if sufficient evidence can
be secured to convict her. She is a
dangerous woman, the incarnate spirit
Of evil, a woman with a mis- taken mis-
sion in life, a venomous, vindictive, cruel
and cunning woman. She is Russian
Jewess. Twenty years ago she arrived
at Boston from the old country. She was
then illiterate, but during her stay in
Boston managed to secure an education
She worked in a tailor SHOP and there
imhibed anarchsm from a fellow work.
man. She spent all her money for books
on socialism, but they We're not radical
enough to meet her view, and she an
rounced that socialism was dream and
anarchism a reality. She also became
disciple of the doctrine of free love.
She made her first speech in Boston and
SO charmed We're the anarchists with
her ability that she was started out as
a lecturer. Since then she has promul-
gated her radical views in all of the
labor centres of the United States, her
audiences being confined principally to
the scum Of Europe, who have found
homes in this country. The receipts from
her lectures have been small as the price
OF admission was usually placed at five
cents and, owing to the smallness of
her audiences, in some cases collections
would have to be taken up to defray
expenses. A characteristic story is told
of the woman who sneers at religion
and mocks at all things considered
sacred. At a mining town in Illinois
an anarchist father brought baby to
Miss Goldman and asked her to christen
1t. She consented, and taking the in
FAINT in her arms announced that it was
an anarchist baby and must be baptized
in anarchist fashion. Dispatchng the
father for a pail of beer, when he re-
turned with it the woman plunged her
hand into the bucket and then rubbed
the infants face and head with the
fluid. This mockery was greeted with
cheers by the beastly crew which We're
ticklcd at the proceeding. This is the
manner of woman who turned the brain
OF Czolgosz, and who is responsible, in
a measure, for the presidents death.
Analysed, the woman must be placed
In the peryert class. She is sane but
her sanity is far more dangerous than
insanity. She can not be sent to an asy-
lum but she should be kept in confine-
meEt. She is too dangerous to be al
lowed to be at large. It speaks we'll for
the American people, however. that
Emma Goldman in all her years of teach
Ing does not number among her con-
verts single American citizen in the
true acceptation of that word True
there are anarchists who have the bal
lot but they are not American citizens,
can not become such, and should not be
allowed vote. The degraded specimens
of humanity who announce themselves
as anarchists are foreign born or children
of parents bred in the pest holes of Eu-
rope. This class of people is not num-
erous in the United States but there are
too many of them. There are no laws
60 reach them and Emma Goldman is
ehrewd enough to make the most of this:
BY melting her fanatical disciples to
deeds of violence she no doubt reasons
that there is no danger to them as a
