without warrant. 1t is not true that as
the rich have grown richer the poor have
grown poorer. On the contrary, never

worker, the farmer, the small trader,

Such individuals are those who not long
gathered in open meeting to glorify
the murder of Hing Humbert of Italy
perpetrate a crime. and the law should
insure their rigorous punishment. They
and those like them should be kept out
OF this country. and If found here they
try whence they came, and far reaching
provision should be made for the punish
ment OF those who stay. No matter calls
more urgently for the wisest thought Of
the congress.
The federal courts should be given ju-
risdiction over any man who kills or at
tempts to kill the president or any man
who by he Constitution or by law is in

A 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 nave
torn him limb from limb IL II had not
been that the law he defied was at once
invoked In his behalf. So far from his
deed having been committed or behalf Of
the people against the government, the
government was obliged ct once to exert
It's full police power to ave him from
instant death at the HANDS of the people.
Moreover, his deed worked not the slight
est dislocation in our governmental sys-
tenn, M the danger of a recurrence OF
such deeds. no matter how great ii
might grow. would work only In the d.
rection of strengthening and giving hard
ness to the forces Of order. No man will
ever be restrained from becoming presi-
dent by any fear as to mis- personal safety
If the risk TO the presidents life became
great, IL would mean that the Office would
more and more come to be filled by men
OF spirit which would make them reso-
lutte and merciless in dealing with every
friend OF disorder. This great country
will not fall into anarchy, and If an.
archists should ever become a serious
menace to its institutions they would NOT
merely be stamped out, but would involve
In their own ruin every active or passive
sympathizer with their doctrines. The
American people are slow 20 wrath, but
when their wrath is once klndled il
burns like a consuming fame.

are exceptions, and in times of prosperity
some win prosper far more and In times OF

This is especially true where the cor

from the existence of some monopolistio
element or tendency in its business. There
would be nc hardship in such supervision.
Banks are subject to it, and in their

supervision of corporations by the ma

duce excellent results.
When the Constitution was adopted, at
the end of the eighteenth century, no hu-

President Mckinley was a man or mod
crate means, a man whose stock sprang
from the sturdy tillers of the soil, who
had himself belonged among the wage
workers, who had entered the army as
n private soldier. Wealth was not struck
at when the president was assassinated
but the honest toll which is content with
moderate gains after a lifetime of UNI
ramitting labor largely in the service of
the public. Still less was power struck
at in the sense that power is irrespoHsi-
BILE or conferred in the hands OF any one
Individual. The blow was not aimed at
tyranny or wealth. 1t was aimed at one
of the strongest champions the wage
worker has ever had, at one of the most
faithful representatives of the system Of
public rights and representative govern
ment who has ever risen to public office.
President Mckinley filed that political
office for which the entire people vote,
and no president, not even Lincoln him
self. was ever more earnestly anxious to
represent the well thought out wishes of
the people.

DOWN WITH ANARCHY.

First Step Recommended.

FIRST step RECON- henueu
The anarchist, and especially the an
archist In the United States, is merely
one type OF the criminal, more dangerous
than any other because he represents the
same d~epravity In a greater degree. The
man who advocates anarchy directly or
indirectly in any shape or fashion or the
man who apologies for anarchists and
their deeds make himself morally acces-
sorry to murder before the fact. The an
archist is a criminal whose perverted in
stincts lead him to prefer confusion and
chaos to the most beneicent form of So
cial order, His protest of concern for
workingmen is outrageous in it's impu-
dent falsity, for If the political institu-
tons of this country do not afford oppor-
tunity to every honest and intelligent son
of toll then the door of hope is forever
cloSed against him

FOR the anarchist himself, whetner ne
breaches or practices his doctrines, we
need not have one particle more concern
than for any ordinary murderer. He is
not the victim of social or political inJus-
tice. There are no wrongs to remedy in
his case. The cause of his criminality Is
to be found in his own evil passions and
in the evil conduct of those who urge him
on, not In any failure by others or by the
state to do justice TO him or his. He is a
malefactor and nothing else. He is IN no
sense, In no shape or way, a product OF
social conditions" save as a h~ighwayman
Is produced" by the fact that an I'M
armed man happens to nave a purse.
1T is a travesty upon the great and holy
names of liberty and freedom to permit
them TO be invoked in such a cause. No
man or body of men preaching anarch-
istic doctrines should be allowed at large
any more than If preaching the murder
of some specified private Individual. An

time OF President McKinley's death he
was the most widely loved mar in all the

IN public man of his position who has
been so wholly free from the bitter ami
mosities incident to public life. His polit-
fcal opponents were the first to Dear the
heartiest and most generous tribute to
the broad kindness of nature, the
sweetness n ~gentleness of character
which so endeared him to his close asso-
ciates. To a standard of lofty integrity
In public life he united the tender af.
fection and home virtues which are all
important in the makeup of national char
acter. A gallant soldier I'm the great war
for the Union, he also shone as an ex-
ample to all our people because of his
conduct in the most sacred and intimate
Of home relations. There could be no per-
sonal hatred Of him, for he never acted
with aught but consideration for the well
fare of others.
