OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Some writer's find a semblance In the
present Meyer Haywood case 10 the
anarchists trial few years ago IN
| Chicago To be sure both were COW
ardiy bomb death dealing assassina-
lions, and there the fair comparison
ends. And 1t Is true that undoubtedly
this later crime was committed by
men, whose so-ealled principles are
anarchistic, by men that know no deed
too dastardly to carry out their de-
sired results. But while the Haymarket
bomb throwers only had for sympa-
lthizers the vile and vicious scum OF
the community, Meyer and Haywood
Undesirable citizens that they are,
have behind them using immense sums
Of money, thousands OF the labor union
members, that honestly believe they
are Innocent, and are being prosecuted
and prosecuted by the mine owners
and capitalistic class the country over.
Probably no case was ever before so
Thoroughly tried In the newspapers
this both for defense and prosecution.
The wonder Is a fury OF twelve men
can be secured that have not formed
al, opinion. And to be thoroughly dis-
Interested one at this distance can
easily criticise the actions of both Ia
Dor and capital in this matter so far,
Capital has assumed these men are
guilty. Labor says long before their
trials, they are innocent. Some feat
ures OF this trial will make the work
of conscientious .Iuryman unusually
hard. What evidence can he given OF
a man like Orchard, the chief witness,
A man that can confess to exploding
a bomb that only failed to kill hum
dred or more nonsunion laborers, be-
cause 1t went off too soon. It would
seem to require many corroborating
circumstances and witnesses If such
mans evidence even under oath isNen-
titled to credence 1t Is now claimed
this Orchard haseseen the error Of his
ways has experienced religion" thus
Is really performing meritorious act
lin giving away his fellow conspiritors.
Only one element islaekfng to make
this case of national interest So far
there is mo- woman in the case"
1870
It's almost resurrecting the dead to
refer to ex-senator Burton of Kansas
Where, oh, where are the Hebrew chill
dren? Is a small conundrum in com
parison. Burton, released from Jail,
makes triumphal procession to town,
hires a hall, makes speech telling
what he's going to do to presidents
Roosevelt how hts future work BIZ
platform and in his newspaper is to
expose, his defamers, detractors and
convictors, and then Has any
body heard from Burton?
So i
The, New York Sun these days well
represents, both in method and mad
ness, the real active opposition to
President Roosevelt We have in this
country what is known as a conserv.
ative element. Chancellor Day is the
mouthpiece of this wealthy and re-
spectacle element. Divine Right Baer
is an honored and trusted member of
the anti-Roosevelt society Rockefel-
Ter and Rogers are active workers in
this organization. Foraker furnishes
brains, if not money, for his member
ship. Depew and Plat are silent
members, but with voting power Har-
riman and all members Of the Anna
Mas branch society, have been voted
into full membership And the New
York Sun is the organ Of the associa-
ton. Sneers and filings. sarcasm. in
nuendo and indirection are the wea-
pons used. The sympathy of the labor
unions for Meyer and Haywood and
Debs has actually brought some Of the
laboring men into the Roosevelt
society, but neither the Sun, Hartman,
Day or Baer wants them in the or
ganization as working members. Oil
and water will not mix, and the Sun
and its admirers have no use or SYM
pathy for "the horny handed sons OF
toll"
