ANARCHY HIS HOBBY,

Chicago Special

Chicago Special
In an anarchist hotbed on the West
side small, mild hammered and high
ly intelligent man sat the other day. and
said to Chicago Inter Ocean reporter
he believed in the destructive principles
of anarchy.
The man was John Turner, an Eng
lishman, who is one bundle of startling
contrasts. Turner is as gentle as wopl-
IN in his manner, but he condones all
the outrages which anarchists have
committed in the wronged name of lib
erty. He is not a vindictive man, yet he
breaches the anarchical practices for the
sake Of the principle. He will sympa-
thize with man in distress in one
breath and in the next will speak sym
pathetically of men whose self-assigned
duty is to kill kings and overthrow gov
ernments.
Last October John Turner left Eng
land to come to America. He got as far
as Ellis island and there he went to a
cell under the laws mandate. Until the
first week of March he remained in pris-
Fon, while the federal government was
trying to decide whether he should be
deported, for it is notorious that John
Turner is not only an anarchist, but a
leader of anarchists.
When this at least specifically mild
hammered man came to Chicago a week
ago he did SO with the understanding
that he must surrender himself to the
government authorities if it is decided
he has no right in this country. But he
never will surrender, for he declares he
will be on his way to England before the
United States supreme court can hand
down its decision in his case.

Turner is known as a labor leader
Through his wonderful tact, his keen
Judgment and his unusual executive
ability he has been able. to form an or

Journey "Studienreisen" to the
United States are now considered an
indispensable part Of the equipment
which a modern, up-to-date German
business man must have. Dozens of big
German merchants and manufacturers
from all over the Fatherland will make
them this summer, and 1t is therefore
natural that Emperor William, who is
the greatest German business man OF
all. should order his ministers to fol-
low suit.

and 81 years old, isgone OF the few Ger
mans occupying high government rank
who come from "self-made" stock. Most
German cabinet officers and high func-
tionaries are barons, counts or mobiles,
with "von'' attached to their names.
Herr Moeller, however, is the descend
ant of good old "buergerliche" progeni-
tors He is known throughout the coun-
try as "the long Moeller." on account of
his extreme height. Moeller ranks al
the leading authority and frankest ad-
vocate of the trust system in Germany.
He believes that combination is the or

Boston, Mass Special.
Americans in northern Korea were
recently approached by the United
states gunboat Cincinnati, and offered
conveyance to place of safety. TWEEN
ty-three refugees embraced the oppor-
tunity, but the missionaries decided to
remain, with their wives and children.
This fact has led to some hostile criti-
cism of missionary ZEAL" aamd sssug-
gests an inquiry into the real duty of
missionaries in war time. The Bos-
ton Congregationalist says:
why do the missionaries stay at
their posts at such times? Sometimes,
because the danger to their personal
safety is no greater than they would
meet by withdrawing. Often their de-
parture or the sending away of their
families on a warship would be inter-
preted by the people in their care as a
sign of far greater perils than really
exist. A missionary of the American
board in Macedonia lately said that if
he and his colaborers should flee in
response to the warning Of our gov
eminent, the whole district would be
thrown into panic. Many of the peo-
pie were coming to sleep at night on
the missionary premises. but kept at
their work by day, and the continued
presence of the missionaries was a
strong assurance of safety to them.
"In some cases the abandonment by
missionaries of their fields in time of
danger has caused severe loss, not only
of property, but of prestige, which it
requires. many years to recover. In
the recent Boxer troubles in China the
American board cabled to it's mission
aries TO use their own judgment as
to remaining in certain district. An
other board sent imperative instruc-
lions to its missionaries to withdraw,
and they obeyed reluctantly. Our mis-
sionaries decided to remain. and the
wisdomof their choice is now conceded
by all acquainted with the facts.
The warning sent by our govern
mentin such case as this, IS not
necessarily an expression of the judg-
ment8Df its officials that missionaries

or other Americans ought to remove
from the exposed regions, but is an act
in the way of its duty, and shifts the
responsibility from itself to those who
are warned. 1t is not the government
which assumes to decide when the
missionaries ought to leave their fields,
but certain newspapers, which, if the
missionaries followed their advice,
would quite quickly be the first to
charge them with cowardice and neg
lect Of their duty"
Rev. DIR. Arthur Judson Brown, of
New York, who discusses ''The War
and Our Devoted Missionaries" in the
Missionary Review of the World, has
this to say:
ut seems to us that for all the mis-
sionaries in Korea to be withdrawn
at this time would be calamitous The
property abandoned would probably be
looted, if not destroyed. Even in
America abandoned buildings are apt
to suffer from thieves, and in such a
country as Korea it is probable that
little would be left. Moreover, THE
missionary is urgently needed for safe
guarding the Interests of the work AMI
for moral effect upon the Koreans. AS
We are going on with our work, it is
desirable to avoid, If possible, de-
moralizing interregnum.
Consider, too. the lot of the poor
Koreans. Neither Russians nor Jan
anese are apt to concern themselves
particularly about the unhappy PEG.
pie who are between the upper and
the neither millstones Of contending
armies, while at such time lawless
and turbulent men are almost certain
to find their opportunity. Even in
Christian America, when a destruc-
tive fire was raging in Baltimore.
thieves and scoundrels took such ad-
vantage of the general panic that the
police were unable to cope with the
situation, and strong military force
had to be called out. what, then. is
to be expected in such a country as
Korea in time of war? Those poor
Koreans in this hour of need will look
to the missionary as to their only
friend and counselor, and If he leaves
them, they. will be scattered abroad as
sheep having no shepherd. Now is
the time for the missionary ministry
in Korea. To leave the field to the
politician, the soldier and the trader
would be to dishonor Christ, to fail
to utilize an unprecedented opportu-
nifty, to abandon the helpless native
Christians in their hour of sore need,
and to prejudice missionary influence
at home and abroad for generation"

JOHN TURNER.
English Anarchist Who Is Now Lecturins
in United States.)

his writings are anarchistic sermons.
Like all men of his class, he talks all the
while of the evils of government, of OPP
preston, of persecution, of the social
and economic uselessress of what he
calls the ruling classes. While he is an
anarchist, it is indisputable that he is
man of sense and culture.
1t has been said that it is not sur
prising that John Turner is an anarchist.
When he was boy of 10 he was free
thinker. Later he became associated
with William Morris, and about that
time became socialist. In 1886 he
switched from socialism to anarchy, as
a result of his close study of the events
leading up to and following the Hay
market outrage in Chicago.
In changing from fee thinker to So
cialist and from socialist to anarchist
Turner naturally became, through each
change, much more radical in his belief
and his teachings, and his radical utter
ances brought him to his present posi-
ton.
Until 1889 Turner was the manager for
a company in Liverpool. After the dock
strike there he formed the first union
among the retail clerks. During the last
six years he has been the chief executive
of that organization.
my visit to America has been sort
of opera bouffe affair."" he said the other
day as he put aside letter he was writ
ing to his family ir England. "Only
Gilbert and Sullivan or some one else
engaged in writing comic operas could
fittingly tell the story of my coming to
this country. This is a most stupid gov
eminent, and it is as far behind England
in permitting free speech and the or
binary liberties as the benighted lands
are behind the United States. You have
laws which prevent an anarchist from
landing in this country. am an an
archist. cannot, therefore, come
here to visit my brothers or to speak to
the men who have common interests
with me- The whole machinery of this
government seems to be run for huge

of the German and English speaking
Catholics. His labors, hardships and
struggles were such as only the brav-
