SCANDALOUs PROCEEDINGS.

The closing days OF the campaign just
ended were marked by some outrageous
proceedings by the party in power. The
Taggart ring may have made some pre-

approached they grew bold and desperate.

Anarchism, Our Legacy of Pain,

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The Russian Council of the Empire closes
its report on prison reform in Russia with
the following pregnant words:
1.-THE middle ages left torture. the knout.
deportation as legacies 70 Russia. The
nineteenth saw the last disappearance OF
the knout and the first day of the twentieth
the last day OF a penal system pased
on deportation.
In like manner we of the United states
might truly say that the nineteenth CEN
fury left US anarchism a legacy of pain.
And why have we inherited this cursed
legacy? Why are we called to mourn with
crushed hearts the loss of our bravest and
best through cur inheritance of this legacy
of pain? Why do we fear to-day the safety
of his talented successor, one who is brave
even to rashness? Because, in our anxiety
TO afford a home TO the dOwn-trodden and
oppressed of other nations. we have not
guarded our gates against the entrance of
men. women and even children, who have
lived and been reared amid an atmosphere
of revolt against everything that Is; who
have imbbed with their mothers milk that
spirit of communism which has several
times drenched France. even in her days OF
republicanism. with floods of blood. who
possess that fanaticism which blindly
strikes, even though IN so dong IL Kills It's
savior and destroys itself; that ignorant
passionate revolt which Is unable To diStin-
gush good from bad rulers bene.icent from
despotic governments, men of kindly heart
and pure, unselfish purpose from men OF
heartleSs, despctic will and selfish purpose.
These people of alien race, speech and blood
have been welcomed to our peaceful shores,
have dwelt I'm our midst, have established
themselves ike upas trees and poured forth
their destroying and corTupting influence
ON everything within their compass. have
brought forth children who are Anarchists
from their birth like the Judas iscariot of
the tragedy of BunalO. But. thank God.
the power i'm this country which makes
laws can repeal or amend them, and that
power must and will act vigorously IN so

OWENS ROBBED
IN HIS HOME
Daring Burglar Takes All
His Victims Ready
Cash.

L. D. Owens of the firm of Owens &
Varrey was the victim of a daring rob-
berry early yesterday morning at his
residence at 1922 Jackson street. The rob-
Der secured all the available money that
Owen had in the house. $50. and several
pieces of Owens wearing apparel.
1t was shortly after 5 o'clock when
Owens was aroused from a sound sleep
by having the glistening barrel of a re-
VOlVer placed near his face. The man
who held the weapon wore a mask and
told Owens that unless he gave him all
his money and made no outcry he would
shoot him instantly.
Mrs. Owens, who has been sick for
several weeks, was sleeping in the next
room, and Owens, being afraid that a
shock to her might terminate seriously,
gave the robber all the money he had
and told him to leave the house as quiet
ly as he had come.
Mr.. Owens daughter, who was sleeping
in the next room, heard the whole con-
versation, but kept her presence of mind
and made no outcry. 1t was fortunate
for the robber that Owens had not an
available weapon handy at the time He
Is credited with being one of the best
pistol-shots on the coast, and no doubt
If he had had a pistol handy he would
Lot have given up his money so easily
