UnreaSoning Anarchy.

The usual explanations fail before
the attempt of anarchists in Madrid
to kill the young King of Spain and
his just we5ded Queen The mon
arch himself is not a tyrant, but a
very decent, democratic, likable
young fellow. His crime, presuma
bly,, is that of continuing to be
King instead of abdicatipg and head
ing an army TO transform Spain
into a republic. A bomb hurled at
him is a protest against all royalty
of which Alfonso happens today to
be a rather conspicuous example
Had he been killed, terror would
have been struck into the hearts of
other rulers, and the monarchical
principle would have been so much
the more weakened. Thus probably
reasoned the anarchy of assassina-
ton, blindly and stupidity, as always.
Nothing of the sort ever happens;
liberty is invariably set back by this
species of murder.
If there is one ceremony that
might be thought immune from the
attacks of scoundrels, II is a we'd
ding. The innccence and beauty of
a young bride must, it would seem,
appeal TO any man with a heart and
even an anarchist, in his right mind,
would hesitate to mangle and kill
youthful pair just blessed by the
church. That the bomb-thrower of
this episode was irresponsible is the
only reasonable explanation of his
deed.
The world congratulates the King
and Queen of Spain that they escap-
ed the intent of the assassin who
sent others TO a death designated
for them. They have the sympathy
of every decent person in Christen-
dom that their wedding day was
marked by bloodshed through no
fault of their own.
