agree with that spirit and desire that
the anarchists should be hunted
down and driven from the country.
They are a menace to the peace and
prosperity of our institutions. I'm
controlled, they become formidable
and Will destroy our national pride
and spirit.
The Leavenwcrth Times, upon all
occasions, utters the truth in unmis-
taxable language and it earnestly
says the anarchists must 60 The
Times says:
<'The nation will rise in righteous
wrath and Indignation against the
aiders and abbetors of the murderer
who so villianously attacked the
President Friday. There will be a
complete revolution of feeling against
the nefarious acts of anarchists and
kindred societies who are educating
criminals to carry out their plans of
rapine and murder. The insiduous
workings of the anarchistic societies
is growing more apparent each year
and in this country eliminated in
the deed of Friday. No punishment
is too severe, in the minds of the
people, for the man who shot Presi-
dent Mckinley
That the most drastic measures be
taken to wipe such creatures from
the face of the earth is the consenus
OF opinion. Anarchists and anar-
chistic societies should be eradicated
from the country They have no
place in American institutions.
There are no words in the English
language to condemn severely enough
the political party which panders to
the anarchists for it's support"
The Hutchinson News, is no less
certain in its condemnation of the as
sassin and his abettors. The News
says:
tsThree presidents have been shot
by assassins' bullets, Lincoln, Gar
field and Mckinley
j. Wilkes Booth, who killed Abra-
ham Lincoln, committed his crime
with the idea that he would help the
cause of the then expiring confeder-
acy.
Guiteau, who killed Garfield,
thought that the removal of the presi-
dent would benefit the country.
But Czolgosz, who has shot Nc
Kinley, is an anarchist, who believes
that it is right to murder in order to
destroy existing society and govern
ment.
Booth and Guiteau were individ-
uals and when punished their crimes
were avenged by law. But Czolgosz

and his crime is worse because it is
not work of an individual but of an
organized body. Czolgosz and his
associates would murder and destroy
without regard to the personal char
acter of the victims. They war
against society, against all of us.
Society will have to act in self
defense. Anarchists should be treat
like mad dogs. The trouble is how
to use the medicine without over
reaching and making martyrs out of
murderers-
Czolgosz may have builded better
than he thought-and very different
ly. The American people are slow to
anger, but when they get justifably
wrathy, they make clean sweep.
Czolgosz may have given the start to
a fight on anarchy to the death of
anarchists
The Chicago Inter Ocean, more
calmly, but no less detsrminedly,
speaks plain truth Our country will
live despite the hand of the assassin
