TIME FOR GOVERNMENT TO ACT

CHICAGO, Sept. 22-Chicago today paid
it's second tribute to the memory of
President Mckinley. Memorial services
We're held in all parts of the city during
the day and night. AT the Coliseum,
where the principal exercises were held
so many people applied for admittance
that an overflow meeting was arranged
at Tattersall's.
In the afternoon the services were for
school children, and all the speakers en-
deavored to impress upon the young peo-
pie the significance of the assassination
of the president and the conditions that
.actuated the assassination.
Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, was the
principal speaker at the evening meet
ing. He said in part:
DOLLIVER'S GREAT SPEECH
There will be opportunity enough to
make inquiry into the causes of the
enormous offense against mankind of
which the president of the United States
was the victim. But it cannot be out
of the way, even at such time as this,
to recognize that in the midst of modern
society there are a thousand forces man
ffestly tending toward the moral degra-
dation, out of which this wicked hand
was raised to kill the chief magistrate of
the American people. The government
of the United States has given no at
tention, and the government of the sew
-eral states but little, to the activity, In
In many of our cities, to organizations,
inconsiderable in numbers, which boldly
profess to seek the destruction of all gov
ernment and all law. The crime of
Sept. 6, though evidently committed un-
der the influence, if not the direction of
others, easily battles the courts, because
being without the common motives of
murder, it leaves no tracks distinct
enough to be followed, and for that rea-
son it escapes through the very tender
ness, of our system of jurisprudence to-
wards persons accused as suspicion
however grave. A government like ours
is always slow to move and often awk-
ward in its motions, but it can be trusted
like these, at least, after they become
intolera BILE.
REMEDIES MUST BE JUST.
"But these remedies, in order TO be ef-
fectlve, must not evade the sense of JUS
tice which is universal, nor the traditions
of civil liberty, which we have inherited
from our fathers. The bill of rights,
for too many centuries of sacrifice, too
many battlefelds sanctified by blood, too
many hopes of mankind reaching toward
the ages to come, to be mutilated in the
least In order to meet the case of a
handful of miScreantS whose name no.
body can pronounce.
1T ought not be forgotten that con-
sp1rators, working out their nefarious
plans in secret, In the dens and caves
of the. earth, enjoy an unconscious CO.
every lawless influence abroad in the
world. Legislators who betray the COM
molEWealth, Judges who poison the foun-
talns OF Justice, city governments which
come to terms with crime-all these are
regular contributors to the campaign fund
of anarchy. That bowling mass, whether
In Kansas Or Alabama, that assembly OF
wild beasts dancing in drunken carouSal
about the ashes of some negro male
factor. is not contributing to the security
OF society; it is taking away from So
ciety the only security it has 1t be-
longs to the unenrolled reserve corps of
anarchy in the United States. The words
which came spontaneously to the lips of
William Mckinley as he sank under NOR
tai wounds and saw the infuriated crowd
pressing about his assailant, ought to be
repeated in the ears of the officers of
peace from one end of the country to
the other for the years to come-'Let
no one hurt him; let the law take it's
course
THE CHALLENGE OF ATHEISM.
'"The fatal word in the creed of an
archy is atheism Until that word is
spoken, until all sense of the moral gov
significance Of human life is lost, 1t is
impossible to conceive, much less to exc
cute, this malignant propaganda against
the rights of mankind. No man who
brings nothing with him except a blind
faith In natural laws, which nobody made
and nobody admires, will ever find firm

their misfortune that their works have
had the most influence among those who
have been least able to understand them.
1T may be an idle imagination but as
have heard the prayers which have been
offered and the sermons which have been
preached about the dead body of William
Mckinley, it has come to look more and
more rational to me that if indeed his
assa ssination was an incident of the
standing challenge of atheism against tha
peace and order of society, it could not.
