He finally was run 5to corner and surrendered this Ame championship for something yer 100000.

These invaders of American soil are unrestful be- cause they are atheists, believing in no God; because they are anar- chists, believing in no property rights, and because they are the laziest of all drones, believing in no work.
 They propose to destroy the churches, murder the police, burn public buildings and "smash all our enemies" These are the con- temptible creatures who have been going up and down in this land of freedom, denouncing authority splitting on our flag and seeking to inflame the people with the cry of revolution.
