THE ASSASSIN

The assassin got in his fendish
work again when he made an at
tempt on the life of Mayor Gaynor.
This time it was not a crank, but a
venomous, vicious, vile, bad-hearted
brute. The assassination was pre-
meditated and cold blooded. The
punishment should be speedy and
severe. This is no time and no case
to allow such scoundrel to pose as
a MARTYR to fancied or fanciful in
juries. He should be treated and
dealt with as an enemy of the human
race. Assassination is too common,
too frequent in this country. We
talk about Russia, Italy and the
South American States as being the
home of cut threats, bomb throwers
and assassins, but it seems they DO
their diabolical work here. We
trust that no maudling sympathy or
pity will be allowed in the case. Let
the law take its course, but we trust
its course will be short, sharp and
decisive. We are thankful that
Mayor Gaynor's life will De spared,
that he will live for this country as
a whole. and Greater New York can
i'll afford to lose such man. The
Mayor has proven himself to be
faithful, efficient, aggressive and
patriotic. Such a man, such an
official is a blessing. God grant
him a long life.
