Syracuse, N V. May S.-Character-
izing the Standard Oil message of
President Roosevelt as an amazing
blunder" and arraigning the acts of
the executive as savoring of danger
Gus form of anarchism, James r. Day,
chancellor of Syracuse university, in
letter defends the Standard Oil COM
pany and expresses the belief that the
people will not accept improved charg-
es even from the president.
Two Forms of Anarchy.
There are two forms of anarchism,
says DR.. Day. The late practices of
our president are of the more danger
GUS of these two forms That form of
anarchism for which William r. Hearst
stands is harmless in comparison with
that which takes on the form of our
institutions and laws and does unlaw-
full and unjust and tyrannical things
officially. The first can do little be-
cause his cloven hoof is instantly seen
wherever he steps. But anarchism
clothed with official authority is COW
ert, deceptive and perilous in the ex-
treme
THE press and the people who ap-
plaud it in the official form shudder at
it as Hearstism. They shudder at the
less evil. They applaud the only form
of anarchism that really threatens our
republic. Anarchism which, among
anarchists, is comparatively harmless
is not so when we adopt it into the adj
of our government. The
president of the United States has pos
itively no right, constitutionally or NOR
ally, to attack corporate business or
private business by name, or court
judges who decide cases in opposition
to his views.
