THE discovery that Manuel Morales,
the anarchist who threw the bomb at
King Alfonso, and who later committed
suicide rather than submit to arrest,
was a degenerate, raises the question
as to whether or not any man who ac-
cepts such a task isn't degenerate 1t
is past understanding how any person,
sound of body and mind viii become a
part d the hlooJthirsty anarchists or
ganization and accept the commission
to go out and murder kings, presidents
and other public officials And, being
degenerates, for whom there is no hope,
il is all the more important that the
severest penalties should be inflicted up
on them when either convicted Of com
hitting a crime or being accomplces.
1t is a generally accepted fact that
Morales was only the instrument, mark.
cd to throw the deadly bomb. There
were accomphces, who helped plan the
atrocious deed, and who then aided him
in his escape. They should be hunted
down and made to suffer the penalty
which would have fallen u the lot OF
Morales himself had he not cheated tn,
law by suicide.
