ANARCHISTS ALL TRAITORS.

most honored president, William Nc /
Kinlcy, has been great shock and a
great bereavement to the people OF this
nation, and TO The whole world as WE'LL
lie has been a God-send TO this people,
and the tears occasloued by his uniimely |
death we're but mute witnesses that the
people appreciated bis worth. But we
have a class Of people In our very midst
who shed no tears Of sorrow, but who
rejoiced over his death. How can we,
as true American citizens, alter seeing
our president shot down like dog by
the hand OF anarchy, stand meekly by
and hear the followers Of this damnable
hearacy say, TITS good thing he's
dead It would have been good thing
for the people II he had been killed long
ago2" Every sense Of duty and justice
Gays no. And yet what can we DOT
There IL no law that reaches these men.
We are left to handle these ours without
law. Some would counsel mob violence,
aud l do not know bat that II lie Admis'
sible In some Instances, bnt we must
look to a higher standard Of morality.
The legislative bodies must take immed-
late action concerning anarchy, denom-
mating the crime and prescribing the
penalty therefor; also to mark the limit
Of the freedom Of speech and Of the
press, thus throwing a protecting arm
around our public officers, AMI thereby
lessening the temptation Of the people
seeking redress through mob violence.
We consider anarchy one OF the great
est national onenses. We consider II 90

ton Of the government through the kill

Tres lie just the result that anarchy woul
mes produce.
Look back through our history an
glance over It's pages for a century and
quarter and we find that In every M
tional crisis we have had a man whoI
we could trust TO steer the ship Of stat
49,, over the troubled waters. The first {
our martyrs was Ambraham Lincoli
who guarded our nation through one
the most terrible struggles the worl
has ever known. But when all wa
over and he was just ready to enjoy th
ia" glorious fruits Of his Lahore, he was ruth
wy lessly torn from our arms by the ban
Of an assassin. The second martyre
OF president vas James A. Garfield, a ma
OBJ loved aud respected by ALL
Vls. Now We come to the martyrdom {
lsa- President Mckinley, the man who ha
the the welfare Of the American people a
kes haart, and who guided our nation .
glorlously through two wars. You d
e,s know Of bis untmely end. His loss ha
nm been mourn5d as no other mans hat
be- We must now settle down 10 a consider
alton Of the future butwe have no fear
on that line, as We again have man a
the helm Of state that will guide u
"a sairly through our troubles.
