NJ OF long before Roosevelt wrote
IN these words William Mckinley
had died at the hand of an anarchist
assassin. At that time as today the
plea generally of the assassin and the
incendiary was that his cause was
that of the working men of America
and that only through the channels
of violence could come the ark of hap
piness and safety for the tOilers. All
Americans who are worth a pinch of
salt are tOilers. We are working men
and working women and our cause is
common one against the red COM
pany of destruction.
The anarchist is simply an assassin
of character. of men and of govern
ments. Conservatism is not necessar-
fly reaction. The extreme radical,
however, at times finds the way easy
into the field of. anarchy. Progress
goes hand in hand with enlightenment
which comes from study. But prog
ress sometimes Is conservative. The
man who turns back from the field
of anarchy is a progressive although
his comrades who stay in the field will
call him something else.
The political institutions of this
country were founded by the Fathers
with the intention of affording equal
ity of opportunities to all American
citizens. These political institutions
have endured. The way to reform is
through the ballot box. American
citizens are voters. They can work
their will. Our political institutions
"afford opportunity to every honest
and intelligent son of toll" If they
did not, then, as Theodore Roosevelt
says, 1.-THE door of hope is forever
closed against him."
II Is just as true today as 1t was
when Roosevelt wrote his message
to the members Of the fifty-seventh
congress that the anarchists protest
of concern for the working man is out
rageous In its impudent falsity. The
American working man knows IL. The
working people. which means most
of us, are the sustainers of American
institutions. The anarchist makes his
mistake when he tries to make la
Dor class I'm America. Our labor class
is all embracing. We have few para
sites on the body OF the state. In
Americanism the man who works with
his hands stands with the man who
works with his head. America is not
afraid. To be fearful is to be weak
in action. AmericanizatiOn will take
care of the evils which seemingly are
besetting us. II will take care Of the
anarchist and all his works.
