Washington, Dec 1.-THE speech of
| Abraham Isaak in Chicago Thursday
right, in which the anarchist praised
the deed Of Czolgosz, the assassin of
President Mckinley, has caused intense
indignation among senator's and repre-
sentatives.
| While all were determined on action
looking to the crushing of anarchism,
4 and bills already had been introduced to
that end. the words Of Isaak, coming
just at the time they do, have settled
all doubt in the minds Of members OF
congress that anarchy must be stamped
out at once and for all time.
What steps Will be taken against the
preachers of anarchy yet are in doubt,
but 1t is certain that naught less than
death for an attack on any government
official and deportation for any who at
4 tempt to spread the doctrines will sat
isfy the majority in each house.
| Most of the gray-haired senator's In
dulged in extremely Incorporate ex-
pressions when discussing the utter
ances of these two men. Many of them
| did not hesitate to say that Isaak should
be electrocuted, and that the same pun
| ishment should be given all who attempt
| to assassinate the president, vice presi-
dent or members of the cabinet, and
| that those who advocate the principles
of anarchy should be deported, II they
are not American citizens. II they be-
long in this country they should be sent
| to an island from which there would be
no escape.
Without exception the senator's favor
the plan suggested by Senator Hoar.
and If the opinions expressed today
adjourn until legislation has been placed
upon the statute books which will make
the United States an unhealthy place
for anarchists.
IF Czolgosz was better man than
Isaak, the latter cannot be electrocuted
too quickly" said Senator Foraker in
discussing the debate between the so
cialists and anarchists Of Chicago. Il
have expressed myself on the question
of the treatment of anarchists so often
that every one knows where stand.
They should be stamped out without
delay or ceremony"
III the expressions attributed to Isaak
are true" said Senator Cullom. there
is certainly no excuse for his existence.
There should be law which should per-
NIT the same punishment to be visited
upon him as was given Czolgosz. Such
expressions coming from any one In This
country should be condemned without
stint or qualification.
1.-The time will come when the law
will handle ard punish such expressions
in fitting manner. Anarchists ought
not to exist on earth, but inasmuch as
we cannot exterminate them would be
glad to see them sent to an island. 1t
occurs to me that the plan suggested by
Senator Hoar and others outside OF COM
gress of sending such persons TO an
island might be the best thing that
could be done
II do not feel called upon" said Sem
ator Hoar, ITO express my views every
time q crazy anarchist appears to adj
vocate publicity the doctrines they rep
resent. My position on this question is
we'll known to the country and / am
happy to see that the plan have pro-
posed OF banishing anarchists to an is-
land In the sea seems to be meeting
with general favor. This method would
in my judgement prove an efficacious
remedy for anarchy"
I'm my Judgment" said Represents
tive Cannon, Congress has full power
to enact legislation with apt penalty
Furnishing any one who assaults the
president OF the United States, the vice
president, or the members OF the cab
met, because OF their official positions,
and any one who aids, abets advises. or
counsels such assault by word writing,
publication, or otherwise should be pun
ished / believe such legislation should
be had, and will support It,
There Is no danger OF legislation OF
this kind being oppressive to the citi-
zen for no one could be punished with
out due presentment. trial by jury, and
conviction as in other criminal cases. SO
far as these are concerned who teach
anarchy. which understand to be the
destruction OF all government, they
cannot complain II the same govern
ment they would destroy should infiict
the same punishment that is visited up
on other criminals.
1.-THE seyerest measures that can be
employed in lawful manner should be
adopted in legislating to stamp out an
archism,' said Representative Payne,
one OF Speaker Henderson's lieuten-
ants. I'VE should take away the right
of citizenship and deport all who adj
vocate the overthrowing OF govern
ments and the assassination Of rulers.
/ favor the severest punishment that
can be lawfully imposed upon any one
who attempts the life OF the president,
vice president. or the members CT the
cabinet Those who advocate anarchy
either orally, In writing, or by publica-
ton should be deported.
II am not welded to any particular
method by which these people should be
punished, but In a general way should
like to see such punishment visited up
on them as would have deterrant eff
feet upon those who advocate this doc
trine."
CABINET CHANGES PROBABLE. 4
