Show English Vtetas on Anarchists. The London Spectator and the London Lon-don Saturday Review both hav leading editorial articles on th assassination of President McKinley, in which they set forth views on th problem of dealing with Anarchists The Spectator believes that men ol this dangerous character are increasing, increas-ing, but it thinks nothing is to b gained through sharper laws agains) Anarchists and Anarchist literature Such laws, it says, only bind the desperadoes des-peradoes more firmly together. It adds that there would be no injustice in punishing any person who in type recommends murder or suggests ways of committing it, but the editor doubts whether kings or presidents would be much safer if all such literature liter-ature disappeared. The trouble is that general denunciations of society, which can hardly be punished, seem to have the worst effects in arousing the homicidal instinct The Spectator comes to the conclusion that little or nothing can be done to prevent assassination as-sassination that has not been done already. |
