Anarchy Pilloried in
 Address to a Corpse

Address to a Corpse THE Review of November 9, 1919, 3 published a monologue entitled Cutting Down the Corpse" that at- tracted wide attention. It was ad- dressed to Wesley Everett, anarchist and l. W. w., who was lynched at Centralia, Wash, following the as sassination of four ex-service men by Industrial Workers of the World dur ing an Armistice Day parade
 The writer, in question and comment directed at the body of the dead man as it swings from bridge, brings into vivid relief problems that con- front the American people, as well as other people who believe in orderly progress rather than revolution.
 It is an extraordinary piece of writ ing, far too profound for the poor fool who was hanged at Centralia to understand entirely, but it can be un- derstood by thinking people every where and should be widely read. To meet this need, the Review has had Cutting Down the Corpse" printed in booklet form for free distribution. Anyone who wishes to obtain a copy may do so by addressing the Review, 14O Nassau street, New York.
 At a time when patriotic Ameri- cans are making fight against bo1I shevism and all other forms of blind radicalism, this pamphlet could be made to do great service. It is an impressive, though brief, indictment of anarchy and such an "anachron- ism" as Wesley Everett, I. w. w., whom no undertaken would bury after he was lynched.

  time, those London papers are so slow in getting to us-and she bears a close resemblance to Daisy Ashford at the age of 9 years. Yet, there are people who contend that Barrie wrote '"rhe Young Visitors"
