Show HERB LIEBNICHT The world stands agog at the positive I statement of Herr Liebnicht of Germany Ger-many now a visitor the United States that he looked into the cases of the Chicago Anarchists and they arethe Anarchists not the cases not guilty of throwing bombs or inciting riot What asses the court counsel and jury in these cases must be What asses the American Ameri-can people must be not to have seen this before Herr Liebnicht came among us Herr Liebnicht is a member of the German Ger-man Reichstag or congress and is noted as a great Socialist leader in Germany and he addressed a gathering of Germans yesterday in New York who doubtless could not wait to hear him by the shores of the beautiful Rhine for divers reasons but who in this great land of the free can talk all kinds of treason and riot and inflict on the peaceable and longsuffering inhabitants inhab-itants of this land the spleen generated by centuries of degradation and oppression oppres-sion in their native country seeking to dump here the hatred and filth they dared not dump in Germany How is it that all these Socialists Anarchists and other cutthroats of that kin have all of them German names Can it be a scheme of Bismarcks to get even with America because when he tried to chase the good American hog across the Rhine the hog turned and chased him back to Berlin It occurs to a common everyday American Ameri-can to the manor born to ask What has this country done or said to Germany or her people that they should come here and try to corrupt lawabiding men with their cowardly teachings of dynamite throwing Why do the Germans more than any other class of people prate of socialism anarchy ruin and the overthrow i over-throw of the law in one breath and in the next grab a glass of beer and lustily shout the praises of the Faderland 1 Why do they turn to kiss the rod that smote them in Germany and come here to inaugurals a plan of action which will end in greater punishment punish-ment than they ever knew in Germany Ger-many These questions will obtrude themselves on the average citizen and they have never been answered yet The German citizen has been honored and enriched in this land more than his brother of any other nationality and yet all this jncipient murder and revolution originates with the men of that nation Frank Pixlej of San Francisco the great knownothing of the Pacific slope has drawn on his devoted head the hatred of every foreignborn citizen in the land by his wild utterances against their fight for power and place but this brassy gall of Herr Liebnicht gives good reason for drawing the line somewhere and the people draw it at anarchy and its teachers and Herr Liebnicht should be sat down on just as heavily and expeditiously as those he tries to cover and all of them thus be given to know that this country is no place for the propagation of their cursed doctrines How lone would an American Congressman preach such damnable stuff in the halls of Berlin Just long enough to state his case and then he would be snatched baldheaded and thrown into a dungeon where he could do no harm and that is just what must yet be done here if the country is ever to be freed from such an incubus as the present crowd of Anarchists and their abettors present |
