Goldman.
We do not propose at this time
to discuss anarchy in general, nor
to linger upon the duty of Congress
to wrestle with it by forcible legis-
lation, a right which Congress pos
sesses under the Constitution.
For a moment all men are
horror-stricken, and they are ask
ing each other, ''How is it possible
that man can exist wicked enough
to do this foul deed?"
And yet, under the teachings of
the 'yellow'' press of this day and
generation, why should anyone
wonder at such a crime?
THE NEWSPAPER THAT
FOR SELFISH, SORDID PER-
SONAL REASONS, DENOUN-
CES EVERY PUBLIC OFF,
CIAL AS A THIEF FROM THE
PRESIDENT DOWN AS A NEW
YORK JOURNAL HAS DONE,
AND FROM THE GOVERNOR
DOWN, ASTHE WANAMAKER
YELLOW PEST OF PHILA-
DELPHIA HAS DONE, ISSIMP-
LY BREEDING THE MEN
WHO, WHEN THEIR BRAINS
ARE SUFFICIENTLY FIRED,
GO OUT TO SLAUGHTER.
We call names and we speak
strongly because the tine has come
to call names and to speak strongly.
Newspapers like the New York
daily and the Wanamaker sheet
are menaces to life and property.
Do you doubt it?
Then we refer you to another
page of this mornings Inquirer,
where will be found denunciations
of the authorities Of this city be-
cause they refused few months
ago to permit Emma Goldman, the
eminent advocate of violence, muir
der and assassination, to spread
her damnable and atrocious doc
trines in Philadelphia.
Listen while the Wanamaker
organ Of Emma Goldman stands
by this brute called woman upon
the occasion above mentioned:
"The example of lawlessness
being given by the police authori-
ties is at once dangerous and dis
graceful. Should force be met with
force, the moral responsibility
would rest upon the stupid despots
of the City Hall. = x i !;
The law should be brought to
bear upon the lawless Mayor and
Director of Public Safety"
And again we find this same
Wanamaker organ OF Emma Gold
man declaring that her Fright to
have her say is just as plain as
that of the Mayor.
Could anything be more despi-
cable? Here we find an assault
,,xoo,, 4Ia o,,tbori+;ac for o,,rI,i nor
anarchy, and coupled with it a
direct invitation to the anarchists
to meet the lawful authority of the
police with force. And then we
are told that if there should be a
clash the responsibility would rest
upon the "stupid despots" who de-
clined to allow the doctrine of
assassination to be preached openly
in Philadelphia.
The preaching of anarchy by
Emma Goldman is called "free
speech" by the Wanamaker news
paper. Is it? We deny it. Persons
like the Goldman woman have no
rights under the Constitution.
They ought to be locked up. They
advocate, not freedom, not liberty,
but force. They are foes of liberty
and freedom.
Hasn't this been proved? Isn't
the self-confessed pupil Of the Gold
man fend the would-be assassin of
the President of the United States?
Yes, and her defender, her advo-
cate, is the Wanamaker newspaper,
a newspaper whose hand is against
everyone, whose voice is raised in
condemnation Of all Pennsylvania
officials, whose one cry is that the
state and the city are being robbed
by the very officials whom the peo-
pie themselves have placed in tenn
porary power.
1t is not so. 1t is false. 1t is as
false as are the teachings of Emma
Goldman, as false as the doctrines
