incompetent potroon"
Mckinley, bar one grthy Princeton person,
who came to be no more less than living
breathing crime in breeches. Is therefore the
most despised and hated creature in the mem,
isphere; his name is hooted; his figure is burned
in efiigy."

And this in April 1901
Institutions, like men, will last until they
die. and if bad institutions and bad men can
be got rid of only by killing, then the killing
must be DONE"
And this in June. 1901:
There has been much assassination In the
world, from the assassination of some olo
rulers who needed assassination to the assas-
sination of men in England who. driven TO
steal by hunger were caught and hanged most
legally.
rs there any doubt that the assassination of
Marat by Charlotte Corday changed history TO
some extent? What proof is there that France
would have settled down into imperial Ma
poeonism and prosperity if Marat. the Won
derful eye doctor, had been allowed to live to
lace?
IF Cromwell had not resolved to remove the
head of Charles from his lace collar; would
England be what she is to-day-a really free
nation and genuine republic?
Did not the murder of Lincoln, uniting In
sympathy and regret all good people IN the
North and South. hasten the era of American
good feeling, and perhaps prevent the renewal
OF fighting between brothers?
THE murder of Cesar certainly changed the
history of Europe besides preventing that great
man from ultimately displaying vanity as great
his ability.
when wise old sayings such as that of Dis
raeli about assassination taken up it Is
worth while, instead of swallowing them whole
to analyze them. We invite our readers to
it will not be wasted"
What wonder that the weak and excitable
brain OF CZogosz answered to such impulses as
these. He never knew Mckinley; he had no
real fanCied wrongs of his own to avenge
against Mckinley or McKinley's government:
he was answering to the lesson he had learned.
that it was a service to mankind to rid the
earth of a monster: and the foremost of the
teachers of these lessons to him and his kind
was and is William Randolph Hearst with his
yellow journals
The offence is deepened by the revolving
when the fatal blow had been struck and that
strong and gentle spirit had departed. lauded
the dead President to the skies. and said of him
in The New York Journal:
Nowhere in the history of great mems lives

the last hours of William Mckinley He faced

many political battles, through many long days
of toll, through many years of hard work and

The same kind of teaching is being continued |

The public knows the character of Mr.. Hearst

American"
The immediate and necessary effect of Mr.
Hearsts election would be 10 deprive the Presi-
dent of the moral support of the State of New
York; it would be to strengthen the Presidents
enemies and opponents and to weaken and en-
barrass him in the pursuit of his policy
The election of this violent extremist would
inevitably lead to a reaction against all true
