DOWN WITH ANARCHY.

country-in fact 1t arrived some time
ago-for the suppression Of anarchy
and to consummate that end any
means that may be employed are iusti-
fable. These red-handed assassins
who have no regard for the rights OF
property or for human life have no
place among our people and their
complete determination must be accom-
plished If our free institutions would
live. The INTELLLIGENcER is not in
favor of drastic measures outside OF
The law in dealing with criminals
under ordinary circumstances, but the
reign of anarchy is extraordinary and
the end will justify any means that
may be adopted to wipe every one OF
these despisers of law and order from
the face of American SOIL. Tho only
ism that can poison our national life Is
anarchlsm and either it or this govern
ment must perish.
In a sermon preached at Kansas City
Sunday the Rev. j. NJ. Cramer truth
fully said.
s.Pulpit and press should now take
up the question of anarchism and force
its settlement forever. 1t is not within
the law or the constitution to deal
otherwise. The divine law, which is
only another name for the law of love,
gives no other method. Anarchism
must go to its own place of eternal
damnation. its appearance anywhere
and In any form should be the signal
for death-dealing destruction. 1t has
no plea. 1t has no defense. 1t can
have no future.
"Whatever, therefore, may be neces-
sary to this end is in itself lawful. For
this is an enemy and emergency for
which there is and a be no law.
Free citizens should have the same
Instructive impulse toward anarchism
they have toward the serpent. Death,
Immediate, swift handed, lmpromptu
and i%mprovised, should be admins
tered whenever this foul fiend is
found.'
The above words from the lips Of
the eminent divine quoted at a glance
seem harsh as coming from a man of
God, but they are as pregnant of truth
as is an egg of meat. Men and women
who band themselves together for the
unholy purpose Of destroying the
property of others and the asaasslna-
ton of American citizens place Ibem-
selves beyond the pale Of human syn
pathy and the protection of statutory
enactment and become worse than
common outlaws. For them no honest
heart can bleed when they are ruth
lessly rushed to the stake and govern
ment and society can only applaud
under the theory that upon their exter-
mination alone rests the safety and
happiness of our people. Every red
handed william Of them should be run
down and warned to at once leave
American soil and In case Of refusal
then let the people act. These pestif-
erous products of foreign countries
the very cum from the monarchies Of
the worldwide come here to deal out
death and destruction must learn that
America is no haven of rest for them
and their presence will not be tol.
