-FOUR HUNDRED STRONG They MET
lust After the President was Shot and Exutied
In the Activity Of the Order.
New York, September 30.-No
sooner had the anarchist, Czolgosz,
sent two bullets tearing through the
body of the President of the United
States than the anarchists of Pater-
son, N. j., called a mass meeting.
Assembling, 400 strong, in the dance
hall back of n saloon kept by one Of
the "fraternity," they congratulated
one another upon the activity Of the
order at Buffalo, and upon the sau-
tory effects upon the country cxer-
cised by brothers brave enough to
live up to the orders great doctrine
referring, presumably, to the doctrine
pertaining to removal of rulers. No
attempt was made to keep the meet
ing secret. 1t was an open session,
and the police of Paterson permitted
it.
There are more confessed anarch-
lists in Paterson, 80 far as known,
than in any other city in the United
States. And yet in no city are the
police so tolerant of the "Rcds" as
there. While the authorities Of
New York, Chicago, Boston, ST.
Louis, Cleveland and Detroit are
rounding up all known anarchists,
making them give accounts of them
selves and placing them under sur
veillance, the police of Paterson are
allowing several thousand persons in
their city to wave the red flag unmo-
Tested and unchallenged.
81 acted alonc," says the assassin.
"rhere was no plot. l have no ac-
complice." But then all anarchist
murdcrers, under cross examination,
swear to acting alone. A score Of the
ssstaff officers" in Paterson have said
to mo: "We act individuality" Past
killings of rulers show that the killers
do act individually-aftcr the plot is
hatchcd and lots have been drawn.
Then it is that the one who drew the
fatal lot disappears to act hcnceforth
individually.
Every group or branch of organ
lied anarchy in this country is direct
ed by those occupying the seats of
the mighty in Paterson. The assas-
sin declares himself member Of the
Chicago group, which is a part of the
"Right to Exist Society of America" !"
having its headquarters in Paterson.
The assassin further admits that he
was inspired by the writings of that
high pricstcss of anarchy, Emma
Goldman. The Goldman woman is
frequent visitor in Paterson, and
the writings" which inspired the as
sassin were contributed over her name
which appeared in the principal organ
of anarchy in this country, La Qucs-
tion Socialc, published in Paterson.
Paterson, indeed, is to the anarch-
lists OF this country what New Orleans
is to the Society of the Malta, what
Havana is to the Naningocs, what
Paris is to the Comprachicos. The
"silk" city Of New Jersey 10 the cap
ital Of all the "Rcds" in the United
States. 1t is the seat Of kind of
university for the training of rcgi-
cidcs. Here Brcsci, killer of Hum
bert, was trained. When the assas-
sins knife sank into the breast of
Eliz; beth Of Austria, in Geneva, the
secret service bureaus Of the world
sent extra men to Paterson. Re
Gently, the life Of Maria Pia, Queen
OF Portugal, was threatened. 1t was
sign from Paterson. At the func-
raj of the Empress Friedrich, at Cron-
berg, stronger guard than usual
surrounded the kaiser. The German
police were thinking of a city in New
Jersey. That uneasy lie the heads
of to-day's monarchs, is indeed in no
small degree due to the activity of
the Paterson group Of the Right to
Existence Society of America.
But because Of all this, think not
that when you step from the train at
PATERSON you are Immediately con-
fronted by men waving red flags and
