Show CONFISCATE AND KILL. Joseph Medill Patterson, a wealthy young man of Chicago and son of a famous editor, after holding office under un-der Socialist Mayor Dunne of the Windy City and after vacating his public position In order to array himself him-self with moro radical reformers, has announced to the world this kind of a gospel: The way to tnko over the railroads Ic to take them over;, confiscate thoin. Almost at the same moment there appears at Belgrade In Servla the first issue of a newspaper under the title of "The New Movement." It is devoted to the defense of the assassination of kings and Is popularly called the regicide regi-cide journal. It is not to epigrammatic as young Mr. Patterson. It labors through long editorials and contributed articles to prove that every lover of tho race should consecrate himself to the service of his country nt any sacrifice, sac-rifice, and shoulrl not pause, on account ac-count of any feeling of falso delicacy, in bringing to an early termination the days of the oppressors of men. When it learns of the terse manner in which Mr. Patterson disposes of the railways It might lake as Its motto: The way to get rid of kings Is to got rid of them; kill them. The difference, between the eonfis-cators eonfis-cators and the regicides Is not so great as to make the transfer of sentiment Inapposite. The man who will teach the confiscation of the property of another an-other might, without much hesitancy, teach .the confiscation of the life of another. |
