hall, had about much respect the hobo has for
a policeman. The Rev. Elmer Goshen and the
Rev. Thurston Brown are digging their own graves
which will or later close over them, burying
them in obscurity and contempt Men can't run
, with the hounds and keep up with the hare.
These two preachers, a fellow named Dalton
and one Murray King, ON the firing line of the
guerillas who poured hot shot into the Catholic
Church, the Spanish government and the Spanish
King. Then, the high-priest Goshen called up the
ghost of Ferrer the anarchist and rendered to the
apparition the assurance of their support the ex-
preston of their admiration for his doctrines and
their profound regret at his taking off
Mr. Goshen-we not so sure about Thurston
Browns acting the part of dupe All this up-
roar over the execution of the Spanish anarchist
is planned for purpose. 1t carries with it everv-
where bad smell-the smell of the Commune and
the unpleasant odor of revolutionary mob.
Ferrer, IN his teachings and his death, has the
sympathy OF every murderer, every thug, every
thief, harlot, tramp and assassin in the United
States, and above all, of the profound admiration
OF Elmer Goshen and Thurston Brown. Gentle
men, we challenge you to deny it. We challenge YOU
to give us the lie. Are not the Communists the
anarchists the harots the atheists the thieves the
stileto men, the haters of all religion the goddess
press of France and the reptile press of Spain and
Italy unit in their denunciation of the execution
OF this Spanish anarchist? Are you not ashamed
of yourselves, wearing the liver- of God and pub
hcly sympathizng with the army of ut-throats who
are fercely attacking God on His Throne and drag
glng the tablets of His law through the mire and
filth of brute passions; whose sacred name "is
blasphemed by those who say they are Jews, and
are not, but are the synagogue of Satan" What
have you IN connection with the crowd that Won
led on last Sunday evening, not one of whom ever
says prayer to God or darkens church door from
January to January? Shame on you who disgrace
an honorable calling, whose utilization with an
archists and blasphemers compel honorable men to
look you IN the eye, and to salute you when
they pass you on the street, "who have the name
of being alive and We are dead"
Why did ye not dare to call meetings when Herr
Most who advocated assassination, at the time of
President McKinleys death was imprisoned! His
paper was suppressed and forbidden access to the
mails on the ground that it was dangerous to the
peace of the state. Yet not of We dared to raise
a finger in protest. When Czolgosz. the anarchist
was sent to the chair for numbering our President.

When Emma Goldman was imprisoned in New
York for anarchial speech and Alexander
Berkman, the anarchist was prohibited free speech
by the police of Philadelphia, who among you had
the courage to call a meeting and denounce the
United States and its President? Out upon the
hypocrisy and cowardice that is ready to wound
and yet afraid to strike What hope is there for
the future of people whose ministers are ground
lings and whose preachers are apostates?
