ness. In its blind fury it would throw
down and trample upon every monu-
ment of civilization and scatter and
burn up the accumulations of treasure
and beauty civilization has made and
is making.
There can be no doubt but that the
crime at Buffalo will result in the
stamping out of anarchy, and of every
other propaganda that leads te social
restlessness. It will mark the decline
of the agitator who lives by ranting
against class. In Chicago already the
police stations are full of prisoners
who are accused of being accessories
to the shooting of the President. This
is radical action and some injustice
may be done, but the step will be in-
dorsed. From one building at 515

Mechanic, Morris Fox, Martin Razner
and Michael Roze.
Emma Goldman, who has been ar-

well as of Czolgosz.
