COMING FOURTH OF JULY
Wrthin less than a ^month Inde
pendence Day will be agan upon us.
As has been the case for a quarter j
of a century, the authorities of the
larger cities have been attempting
to curb, if not eliminate, many dan
gerous practices indulged in by
thoughtless men and boys on this
great national holiday. Alexandria
was one of the first cities to take
measures looking to the suppression
of the use of explosives on such oc
cascr.s, and attempts were made t"
enforce laws made by our grand
fathers which not only forbids the
use but the sale of explosives in
this city. During late years Mayor
Fisher has issued orders to the po
lice to give this matter their undi
vided attention. The officers previ
ous to'the Fourth of July notify all
dealers in devices which tend to
make the holiday odious to refrain
from selling the same . On some oc
casions, and attempts were made to
to defy the law, and they were haled
into the Police Court where they
were made to pay fines.
Mayor" Fisher has again directed
the members of the police force to
see that the law is obeyed.
The people of Baltmore are
working earnestly to make the com
ng Fourth safe and sane. Geenral
Pershing has sent the folowir.g let
ter to the authorites of the Monu
mental city:
"1 beg to acknowledge-your.letter
of Apnil 20, asking for my indorse
ment of safe and sane July
celebrations. The object of your
celebration must 'have the sup
pert of every intelligent American
people gain a wholesome and deep
rooted rerpect for law and order and
realisation of^the necessity for pio
tecting private property, the princi
ples of the Declaration of Independ
ence. which are celcbratc-d on July
4. with be defeated. Your efforts
to restrict the reckless and ignorant
use of fireworks in celebrating the
Fourth of July will meet with the
. approval of those who care for
children, who have been the chief
sufferers in this respect in our cel
ebrations in the past. 1 iirmK be
lievu that one of the great lessons
that the soldiers of the American
Expeditionary Forces will biing
home with them is a wholesome res
pcct for the law and order, and the
?danger that comes from reckless
and ignorant use of explosives."
THE LOVE OF LYING

embedded in human nature today j

THE BOMB THROWER
Career Starts in Barcelona in 1893
When Mission of Death was
Hurled Into a Crowd.
Throwing of bombs and planting in
fernal machines, any anarchist will
tall you, is the "propaganda of the
deed."
For a thousand years anarchism
was propagated by peaceful methods,
by word of mouth and by writing.
Then Mikhail Bakunin, Russiar.
agitator, founded militant anarchism
in 1869. He was the father of the pres
ent-day bomb hurler and manufactu
rer of infernal machines.

His followers pi'eached assassina
tion. The first attempt" was" "made
upon the life of Emperor Wilhelm I
of Germany in 1878. Two attempts
were made to kill the king of Spain.
The "propaganda of the deed" was'
adopted- by the French anarchists
four years late, and for the first time j
dynamite was used.
In the following ten years the;
niar.ufacture cf bombs by anarchistic ;
societies progressed. At first many !
anarchists were blown up making
them. They became affept in their
manufacture. .
Anarchy's bomb career really stilt
ed September 23, 1893, at Barcelona.
Spain, when an anarchist hurled a
bomb into a crewd at a military pa
rade, Six anarchists were executed
A bomb was .thrown into the pit of a
Barcelona theater, killing thirty and
wounding eighty?anarchy s largest
single bomb crop. A month latei a
bomb was thrown from the gallery
3f the Chamber of Deputies in Paris
"Vive Panachie!" cried the bomb
hurler just before the guillotine s
'tlade severed his head from his body.
By next summer Italian anarch
ists were bomb mad. Over 2,000 oi
thorn were arrested. Anarchism
5?)rtrad throughout Italy, Spain ami
France. It extended deeply into Aus
tria, Germany and Russia. On May
1. 1SSG, the first anarchistic outbreak
"ime in the Un;ted States. A bomo
vas thrown when policemen attemptes
;o disperse a gathering of working'
men at the Haymarket, Chicago
's even persons were killed and sixty
wounded,
A suitcase bomb was exploded in a
n-owd watching the "preparedness
??arade" at San Francisco, July 22.
'919(>, when ten were KlTIed, and forty
wounded. Tom Mooney, accused of
irlping to plant this bomb, was cotj
,'icted and now is in prison.
Anarchistic elements in the United
States are largely represented in the
industrial Workers of World. The I.
W. W. says.
"We accept that portion cf 21
irchist action that, is of value.
"The I. W. W. opposes the insti
tution of the state. It holds that
state or government control would
merely introduce another form cf
slavery.

Anarchism has x> binding pro
gram. Each member is allowed to do
what he pleases-*-in anarchistic cir
cles. Usually they band together in
little grcup3, with a more or less
connecting (underground) chain be
tween each group. Their meetings are
secret, and so is the membership.
The most experienced bomb makers
among the anarchists are guarded.
They never dispose of the bombs.
These are given to other members ot
the society, leaders, who in turn, pass
them on to still others, who do the
hurling or planting.

hours.
Mayor Charles F. Gray,- Premier

brotherhoods' mediation committee
appeared cptimistic.
