SWEET MARIE" CAN'T.

stitutional right of free speech.
Threats of murder and OF assassina-
ton are frequently made in speeches.
The anarchists have never had fuller
sweep in their scope of murderouS en-
deavor in any country or in any city
than they are now being given in New
York.
That Alexander Berkman and Emma
Goldman, the king and queen of an
archy in this country, count on Il wo-
man to turn the trick of reprisal is
plain. Sweet Marie" CAN'T, Il follow
er of the anarchists, openly declar-
ed, with II multitude of vicious adjec-
lives, that she would kill John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., and went so far rs to
seek the young millionaire in his own
office and attack him. She is the head
of the dying squadron of anarchy
known as the RED Angels" The po-
lice consider her dangerous. She never
ceases to talk.
Officers are anxious to use their
heavy clubs. They know what it is to
deal with anarchists. The youngest of
them have heard of the Haymarket
riots in Chicago. In March. 1908, in
New York, the Haymarket reprisals
came near being reproduced when
Selig SilverStein threw Il bomb into
the police ranks. The bomb was poor
~ made, and it exploded in his own
hand, killing him and w%ounding the
people about him. He had a card in
his pocket, n card with the signature
of Alexander Bcrkman, vouching for
him rs an anarchist.
The cops are not at all in sympathy
with the policy of watchful waiting.
Moreover, they are puzzled by this
new turn of anarchistic stratcgy-the
employment of women in the game of
murder.
Marie CAN'T is only Il pr 1te in the
ranks, but she hopes to become Il cor
poral soon. If she succeeds she will
outrank Emma Goldman herself, That
is her ambition, and her life's story
verities the statement, Marie studied
anarchy under Emma Goldman. She
IA the most cage of the students of
the red queen. She is young, IL bit in
cllncl to fat, lazy physically and some
what frowSy. for the ladies of Emma'S
school do not take much time about
their toilet. She is twenty-thrCe years
of age and was born in Austria. the
most aristocratiC country in the world
perhaps, She says that she is Il sales
woman, and she has sold goods, be,
ginning with SalSaGcS to dclicatrSScu
dealers and ending with the selling Of
Mother Earth and other magazines that
fly in the face of established law ami
order.
"SwcCt Marie" is an irouic alias. The
cops gave her the name because of her
foul tongue, She uses profanity as an
expert. No lougShoreman could give
Marie points in auathema. Curses rip.
pie from her lips.
The cause of this unprecedented up
hCaval Is attributed to the tragedies re-
Sulting from the mine strike in C0lora,
do, when thirty lives were lost in bat
Ties between strikers and guards.
Protests are being madc against John
II. Rockefeller. Jr,'s. assertion that
the mine owners would not recognize
the unions. The young man has been
bounded since ne appeared before a
congressional investigating committee
and made statements to which the an
archistS objected.
One of the features Of the demon
STATIONS WAS the daily appearance OF
"mourncrS" in front OF his offices. each
wearing Il Grape band around his or
her arm lin memory of the brave min
crs who died in the coaldelds while
standing M for their rights" they said.
