Arizona daily citizen., 1901-11-16

The Los angeles Times is still de-
voting much of Its valuable space to
fierce assaults upon anarchy. but ii is
very discriminating In the character OF
the anarchy it is anxious to destroy.
Our Los Angeles contemporary has no
more use for the theoretic anarchist
than sor the fool whose policy is to
slay There Is a certain kind of an
archy that the Times approves. 1t JUS
tifies the action of the governor of In
diana in refusing to surrender to the
authorities of the State of Kentucky

murder of Governor Goebel who have
taken refuge in Indiana.
In fact. we doubt very much il the
Los Angeles Times would feel disposed
to berattle anarchy of Its victims were
Democrats. The Times cannot help

of declaring that members of labor
unions are not only stepped in treason,
but are anarchistic to the core.
We have heretofore asserted and we
do SO again. that the Los Angeles
Times incites to anarchy. Its intoler-
ance of opposition, its offensive de-
nunciations Of organized labor. its
libelous insinuations that the Demo
cratic party sympathized with or encour-
aged anarchy, In the concrete or In the
abstract. have a tendency to induce
matter of fact. whatever of the spirit
of anarchy mas been planted in this
country is of Republican and not of
Democratic culture. From John Brown
to Governor Durbin of Indiana. the
Republican party has given the coun-
try samples OF anarchy, while the
basic principles of the Democratic
party make the cultivation Of anarchy
impossible
II Is undoubtedly true that the eff
forts of the Democratic party to secure
conformity with respect Doth to the
obligations OF citizenship and the bene-
fits of government have been too often
met. If not always met, by the Repub-
licans with the charge of anarchism
But whenever the Democratic party,
preaching the gospel of the greatest
good to the greatest number. has
planted itself upon the high ground
and moved forward upon the broad
lines of practical craftsmanship, avoid
ing the pitfalls of more doctrinal ex-
tremism and visionary incidentalism
II has won Its battles.
The Republican party. where II has
not been a law unto itself. case mated
and iron-clad, relying chiefly upon
the gospel OF force, is o mere oppor-
tnnist. The Democratic party Is by
right and of nature the party Of the
people shedding Its light as the sun
ut midday with benign effulgence upon
all classes and every part of our con-
stitutional fabric. Democracy means
moderation and justice. 1t is the solar
system OF the republic. The mists OF
factionism may come and shut it out
from the view. The storms of eqi!n-
octial politics may for a season darkcn
its passage through the heavens. But
1t is there nevertheless; and as long
and as surely as our free institutions
endure will It shine forth resplendent
when the clouds roll by. as they have
always rolled by and as they always
will roll by.
