The Barre Anarchists.

The anarchists of Barre will talk
little relative to Czolgosz's crime but the
leaders declare it to have been an act of
great stupidity irrespective Of the wicked
ness of the act. They say that they have
been allowed refugein this country with
freedom to pursue their theories and that
# was the height of folly to do anything
n destroy their right to freedom when
there was absolutely nothing to gain.
Theysay that while they do not approve
of the government of the United States,
# IS so much superior to that of Euro
mean countries that they give it COM
naratively little attention as they are
making their efforts to lessen the power
Of despotisms and not to make more rig
orous the laws OF country in which is
granted the greatest personal liberty in
the world.
