tinued:
The times are very troubled. Agi-
tatOrs are constantly stirring up their
followers to disturb that order which
is the guarantee of public liberties.
Without order only license remains,
which leads inevitably to -despotism.
These agitators find in their path. first
ly. the heads of states. If they fail to
reach them they attack their wives, as
in the case of the horrible drama at
Geneva.
Their blows are also aimed at min
listers. as in the case of Senor CanOvas
and they also blow up the houses of
private individuals. They want to in
timidate us, but they will not succeed.
Even if they struck down the head of
the state it would make no difference,
as he would soon be replaced. In ad-
dition to revolver shots they employ
the pen. which can write what calum-
nies they please. L am nearing the
