in which the denial Of the existence
of God is reiterated many times and
which is used by anarchists as cate
chisms for children in lieu Of religious
instructions, was unearthed today by
reporters for The Daily News in quar-
ters of anarchists in different parts of
the city. 1t was discovered that while
the agitators are stirring up the dis
satisfied men and women by attacks
upon government and industrial con-
ditions, they are devoting much or
their attention to the teaching of chill
that all respect for God, religion and
authority would never have any effect
upon them as they grow.
CATECHISMS OPPOSING RELIGION
Most of the so-called catechisms are
printed in foreign languages, although
it was admitted that they have also
been printed in the English language.
The so-called Sunday schools in which
these catechisms are used are conduct
ed by groups and by individuals prin-
cipally among the German and Bohe-
milan anarchists.
TRAvEsTY UPON THE BIBLE.
A travesty upon the bible, illustrated
by pictures ridiculing the principal
portions of the testaments is one Of
the favorite books distributed among
the children. This book not only ridi-
cules the religious phase of the bible,
but the pictures are such as to bring
ridicule and contempt upon Jewish
people.
In the so-called small catechism of
Joseph Spera, the original of which
was written in Bohemian, but which
it is admitted has been translated into
other languages, the declaration that
immortality is no sin is an index as to
the character of the literature used for
the instruction of the children.
In the catechism there is not
one word of any duty, respect
or obedience to any governmental
authority whatsoever, In some
of the catechisms the duties which a
w,
but there is not one word of any duty
to obey and respect lawful authority
or the PRONUNCIATION in the form Of
laws by any lawful authority. The
only duties which are enumerated for
the children are those to parents, be-
cause they give life and support; to
teachers because they aid in giving
knowledge, and to relatives, benefact-
ors and friends to enhance the happi-
ness Of all.
Under the guise of social education
al, and anticlerical groups, circles and
clubs anarchists from every country
and protesting various shades of anar-
chistic doctrine have been zealously at
work unmolested in Chicago until now
the Chicago police declare there are
about forty-five distinct coteries in diff
ferent parts of the city While the po-
lice and the various government Off
Gals of the city, state and nation are
uniting in campaign to stem the pro-
paganda of anarchism the anarchists
are, holding counsel and are preparing
to carry on their work in defiance of
the police.
EMMA GOLDMAN is DEFIANT.
Emma Goldman, known as the high
priestess of the type of anarchists
whose utterances were heard by the
assassin of President Mckinley, has
not abandoned the two lectures which
she is advertised to deliver in Chicago
on next Friday in the Chicago German
Hold Carriers hall, West Harrison

given as the reason for the inability
