The Future of Our Country

To me Editor Of the Ercning Public L,dger:
Sir-With the recent discovery of an an
archistc pIo, to overturn the government of
the United States staring us in the face. we
may we'll seriously ask just what is to be
the future of our country.
The anarchis; is a man without country.
lie knows no love of native land or home or
people.
An ordinary madman caught at large with
a revolver. butcher knife in his possession
would be quickly put where he could no
longer Menace innocent people The an
archist, who is the worst type of madman
in any community. manages in some way to
come and go as he peases, distributing lit
erature among people who may or may not
be easily impressed with vicious doctrines.
and mounting as he goes his ungra teful
opinions of the land which feeds him.
The logical thing for man to do when he
despises a country and its government is to
get out of il, and go where he thinks he
will be better satisfied. The anarchist how
ever being a creature of one idea only.
never gets out unless he is put out. Hating
all countries and all civilized governments.
he proceeds at the first opportunity to try
to poison the minds of all who come into
contact with him.
Anarchy is a devastating and destructive
force, and the person who breaches II is a
menace TO this nation and the people therein
The anarchist has forgotten his creator In
his vicious heart and brain there exists no
appreciation of, no longing for the good the
beautiful, the true in life one thought ami
mates him-destroy.
Any man who forgetsshs creator may be-
= come a menace to society,". but when that
mans heart becomes filled with hatred for
mankind and his thoughts are bent on de
. struction, he is a menace to the cviliza ton
and happiness of the world well.
male anarchist is the female of the sDecies
Woman does not stand for the destruction of
life without good sane solid reason behind
it, She is the mother of the race and as
such fulhlls her greatest mission H. guard.
Ing and preserving life She knows the value
and the cost of each human life; ana ia
therefore. a greater traitor thantthe man who
breaches anarchy, when she knowing all
that is filed with anarChistic desire TO
destroy lives which other women have in
anguish given to the world.
Are we going t. sit down and wait for
the propagandh of terror and destruction to
grow and spread and blight our land our
institutions and our homes are we going
forth to combat il and slay it in its infancy?
We must answer that question frankly and
self can flood the darkened souls with Iight
and banish the evil which induces them to
try to lure the world to its destruction
Given enough rope in Russia, the anarcbists
will, through their very wickedness and
folly, finally hang themselves In the mean
time shall our country become a second Rus
sia for the forces of evil to experiment with :?
No there is no room in free America for
those who hate 1t and wish 10 destroy IL
The future of our country depends upon our
selves. EMILY l.. BOOTH
