Show Tot Afraid of the Dynamiters. The citizens who were down on the dynamiters' list for assassination have unanimously declined to be frightened. Persons of the class to which these conspirators con-spirators belong have an altogether erroneous estimate of the courage of the "aristocrat" and "bourgeoisie" in America. Instead of turning pale and trembling at the thought of the midnight, under-ground, giant-powder-loaded Socialist, Socia-list, the threatened gentlemen evince a lively desire to get a chance to break the heads of the conspirators who had doomed them to death. "These people think," said Mr. Spreckels, one of the condemned, to a Post reporter yesterday, "that because a man has money he must be afraid of his life. My life is worth no more to me than anybody else's, and I would be just as willing to go in and fight as anybody. These bilks won't work and they won't fight. I shouldn't be afraid of twenty of them." The average American, Ameri-can, rich or poor, has ample faith in his ability to take care of himself. And he can usually do it, too. ,S'. F. Post |
