TREATMENT Or ANARCHISTS.

TREATMENT Or ANARCHISTS.
Ever since the inhuman assassina-
ion OF the late President Mckinley by
/ cOld-OlOOded Anarchist, the. people
have been asking themselves the ques-
ton. What shall we do with the An
archists?"
This problem is receiving the atten-
ton of statesmen, as well as Of COM
mon citizens, anu numerous bills have |
been introduced into Congress, with |
the object of exterminating the species. |
The question of ararchism is serious |
one, and as in the case of any other
dangerous, contagious disease, the
causes of it's existence in this country
should be thoroughly investigated.
Anarchists maze in the United States
are extremely rare. The conditions are
not favorable for the propagation OF
the breed. When one of the home nur-
tured variety does crop out, a thorough
investigation of his record will reveal
the nature of the brute. It will be
found that he is too lazy to work, too
coWardly to steal, too shiftless to keep
a job alter he gets one. Carry the in
vestigation further, and we find that
the man is fond of loafng on street
corners and freQuenting bar rooms.
He is sullen, solitary and morose, and
even among his relatives has no warm
personal friends.
The homegrown Anarchist, from his
own shiftlessness, imagines that the
whole world is against him. He brOOds
over troubles, real and imaginary, un-
til his whole nature is embittered. His
system is impregnated with a hatred
for humanity that is as Virulent as the
, virus from a dog in the throes of hy-
drophObia.
And right here the proper treatment
for anarchism is suggested. This cOun-
try will always have Anarchists, as it
will always have mad dogs. The peo-
pie kill mad dogs, as soon as symp-
toms of hydrophobia are noticed. Bit
ing dogs are muzzled and chained. Peo-
pie who advocate and teach violence
can and should be confined. 1t is said
that the barking dog never bites. Those
who preach anarcnism may never have
bitten anybody, and it may be that
they never will. Their doctrines are
dangerous, however, and they should
be confined.
There need be no fear of interfering
with personal liberty in locking UP
Anarchists. Liberty does not mean
license to kill, or to incite others to
deeds Of violence, and when man OF
woman attempts to spread such a per
nicious doctrine he or she becomes
a menace to society and should be
placed under the restraining influence
of prison cell.
The majority of Anarchists in this
Icountry are foreign born. The tyranni-
cal laws of their native lands give
them some excuse for hating the gov.
erning classes. This country, from it:
foundation, mas been refuge for the
oppressed and down-trodden of all ma
| tions, and those who seek its shelter
should leave all anarchistic views be
hind and make up their minds to sup
port the best ana most liberal govern
ment on earth.
If they can't do this, they should no
be allowed to land on the shores o
free America. We exclude the Chinese
prohibit the landing of paupers, an,
quarantine against infectious diseases
We can, therefore, legislate against tn
landing of Anarchists. Our immigra
ton laws shouIu be such that if mai
: can not show a clean record, morall.
5 and politically, in the old country, h
= will be denied admission into this.
We extend hearty welcome to tn
| frugal, industrious toilers of all coun
tries, but have no use for Anarchists
Don't need them in our business, an
D the sooner they learn this the bette
d it will be for them.
