BY REV. v. N. K|NCA|D

Rev. w. NJ kincaid preached on
Anarchy" to large congregation in
Central Union church last night. His
concluding remarks were as follows:
You may call II broad and liberal tn
allow newspapers to print and dema-
gogues to speak what everybody knows
is intended to inname the passions of
ignorant and excitable men. and egg
them on to deeds of violence and de-
struction: but It should be called by
its true name, disloyalty and treason.
We have suffered this thing in America
too long. When liberty of speech be
comes a specific Indictment to criminal
action. then II Is time for the law to
silence 1t with stern hand.
Freedom of the press is a splendid
thing. but not when II sows broadcast
the dragons teeth OF anarchy and dis.
cord; not when II seeks to instill
hatred into ignorant and undiscrimi-
mating minds: not when II attempts to
array the poor against the rich. or the
~7orkman against his employer. when
he liberty of the press Is used for
inch ends vb.p 4, bocomos n, os,o,s.
