ITS CAUSE AND CURE
ANARCHISM DENOUNCED BV REV.
DR. McCORKLE.
PRAYED FOR M’KINLEY.
“WOULD-BE ASSASSIN OF TIIE
HELLISH SPAWN OF ANARCHY.”
Ciolgoix and His Associates Likened
to Sinners of the Lost "World—“ A
narchy the Child of Infldelityi the
Full Ripe Fruit of Atheism"—Ba

hilism and Jlls Doctrines—A Reviv

Northern Fire-eaters—What the
Brawl at Tybee Illustrates.
“The Cause and Cure of Anarchism”
was the subject of Rev. Dr. W. P. Me-
Corkle's sermon at the First Presby
terian Church yesterday morning.
"This day,” Dr. McCorkle said, “pray
ers are being offered throughout our
land for the recovery of our President,
stricken down by the hand of a would
be assassin. The heart of the nation
beats in warmest sympathy for the
noble wife and devoted friends who
watch by his bedside, and in profound-
est indignation toward the foul spirit
of hate that prompted the dastardly
deed that has laid him low.
"The fact has been satisfactorily as
certained that the would-be assassin
was a disciple of Emma Goldman, the
oracle of Chicago anarchists, and had
attended her lectures. His weak brain
had been fired by her doctrine that
rulers ought to be exterminated. And
before this fact had been elicited, the
spontaneous verdict of the American
public had been voiced by a prominent
prelate of the Roman Catholic Church
who, when informed of the attempt up
on the President's life, said, ‘The as
sassin is of the hellish spawn of an
archy.’
"The public now looks for such deeds
to be done by that hateful society. Al
ready it counts among its victims an
emperor of Russia, a president of
France, a queen of Austria, and a king
of Italy. Attempts have been made
upon the lives of a number of crowned
heads of Europe, and now the world -s
shocked, but not surprised, to hear of
an attempt upon the life of President
McKinley. That foul deed is a natural
sequel of the murder of policemen and
the Haymarket riots, in Chicago.
“The world is to-day confronted by
a horrible, ghastly spectre of ruin. Its
eyes are red with hate, its mouth filled
with blasphemies, and its hands with
dynamite. The name of this apparition
is Anarchy. While we lift our prayers
to Heaven asking that the purpose of
the would-be assassin may be thwart
ed, it may be well for us to consider
whether there is not a lesson that may
be learned from this last outbreak of
the foul spirit of hate, now vomiting
its threats against all the governments
of the civilized world.
No Goil Before Their Eyes.
“The first passage selected as our
text, Romans 111:18: ‘There is no
fear of God before their eyes,’ states
the cause. It is the climax of a series
of statements which may almost be
regarded as a prophetic description of
the modern anarchists. Certain it is
that among all the sinners of this lost
world that are described here, none
show the features of aggravated sin
fulness more plainly than the would-be
assassin Czolgosz, and his anarchist
associates. As it is written, there is
none righteous, no not one; there is
none that understandeth, there is none
that seeketh after God. They are all
gone out of the way, there is none
that doeth good, no. not one. Their
throat is an open Sepulchre; with their
tongues they have used deceit; the
poison of asps is under their tips:
whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness: their feet are swift to shed
blood: destruction and misery are In
they ways: and the way of peace thev
have not known: there is no fear of
God before their eyes.’
” ‘Destruction and misery are in the
ways of this accursed band, and their
feet are swift to shed blood, because
there is no fear of God before their
eyes. Anarchy is the child of modern
infidelity. It is the full-ripe fruit of
theism. It boldly avows enmity to all
religious, and with blood-curdling
blasphemy demands the abolition of
God." It denounces right as a figment
of fancy, and proclaims that conscience
Is the product of education. It asserts,
following the dictum of a certain class
of so-called scientists of our time, that
men and all things exist because of
'the conglomeration of atoms in ac
cordance with the principles of gravity
and attraction,’ and not through the
power of any 'priest-begotten God.’ It
denies the spirituality of the soul be
cause it can find no psychic substance
with the scalpel, and teaches the im
mortality of man, while scouting the
Immortality of men. Its basis
of belief is a cold, blank,
cheerless materialism; and forti
fied upon that it hurls the anathemas
of its fiendish malignity upon all that is
holy in the faith and all that is vener
able in the traditions of the race. Its
ruling spirit is hate; its highest attain
ment is supreme discontent.
Anarchy** Tenet*.
"Rejecting: God and revelation, de
nying the immortality of the soul and
the reality of judgment, anarchism
naturally chooses for its watchword,
'Hither with the ax and let us de
stroy everything.’ Bakunin, the fath
er of Russian nihilism, in a speech de
livered in Geneva, in 1868, said this:
•According to the priests’ fables, in
the days of old, a deluge destroyed all
mankind, but their God especially sav
ed Noah, that the seeds of tyranny
and falsehood might be perpetuated in
the new* world. When you begin your
work of destruction, and when the
floods of enslaved masses of the people
rise and engulf temples and palaces,
then take heed that no ark be allowed
to rescue any atom of this old world,
which we consecrate to destruction.’ A
fair and full sample of this lnfldel hate
and falsehood.
"Hence it is that anarchists have
been plotting unceasingly against ev
ery government under which they
have been permitted to live. They are
the enemies of all law, nnd of every
form of political organization. An
archism seeks to destroy all rule, to
empty every prison: to remove every
restraining Influence upon human con
dust that is exerted by the machinery
of the state or the motives of religion.
It is the universalism of abolition. It
asserts that freedom from every re
straint, moral and civil, is the rightful
heritage of man, and its gospel an
nounces that the way of salvation can
be found only in destroying all that
exists.
"The assassination of rulers is but a
means to an end. Kill emperors, kings
and presidents, till no man dare under
take to be the chief ruler of a nation.
Assassinate police officers till no man
will dare make an arrest, or inform
the authorities of any violation of the
law. Make it so that lawyers will not
dare to prosecute, nor judges to en
force the law, nor Juries convict, nor
Jailers imprison. Let all the penlten-

SAYS HE APPROVED IT.
Fire Marshal George Monro Has a
Word About Connerat's Tank.
Fire Marshal George Mouro says
that Superintendent Maguire of the
fire department may have forgotten it,
but that he himself gave his apDroval
to the plan for the placing of a gaso
line tank in the lane near the bicvcle
store of Mr. R. V. Connerat on Bull
street.
The fire marshal was seen yesterday
about the matter, and he said that he
had made an inspection of the tank in
the barn in which Mr. Connerat has
kept gasoline. The superintendent
knew of the Inspection, and also knew
of a visit tharf the fire marshal and
Mr. Connerat were to pay to the Stand
ard Oil Company’s office, where a tank
similar In construction to that Mr.
Connerat wanted to put in was to be
shown. The superintendent said then,
the fire marshal said, that he was too
busy to make the trip to the office. The
fire marshal therefore reported to the
superintendent that he thought there
was no objection to the establishment
of the proposed tank in the lane, and
the superintendent gave his approval.
The superintendent told a representa
tive of the Morning News day before
yesterday, as appeared in the paper
yesterday, that he intended to seek
to have the City Council rescind its
action granted Mr. Connerat the right
to place his tank in the lane. The su
perintendent considered that the tank
would mean a source of danger to his
men in the event of fire, and also de
sired to prevent insurance men, who
also objected to the establishment of
the tank, from raising the insurance
rates on adjoining property. He ap
peared surprised that Council had ever
granted the permission.
Mr. Connerat said yesterday that the
proposed tank, which he has already
qrdered from the Standard Oil Com
pany, has a capacity of two barrels.
It is fire proof, as safe from fire as
an iron safe. It is constructed of steel,
with sheet iron about it. It has a door
that locks, and no one can reach the
faucet without a key. The tanks are
to be found in cities throughout the
North, he said, and no objection is
raised to their being placed in build
ings, while he merely intends to place
his in the lane. A fire could be built
all . around the tank, Mr. Con
nerat said, without an explosion of
its contents. Such a tank of gasoline
would be less unsafe than five gallons
in a house in an ordinary tin vessel,
the solder of which might be melted at
once. McDonnell's Code, too, he said,
gives a dealer the right to keep five
barrels of gasoline in his store, and
there is a great deal more danger in
that than there would be in a fire-proof
tank in a lane.
The tank is desired by Mr. Connerat
for the storage of gasoline to be used
for his locomobiles. He has been keep
ing the oil in an 80-gallon drum in a
barn belonging to Dr. H. S. Colding.
Dr. Coldmg objected to this. The su
perintendent ordered an investigation,
and the fire marshal inspected the
drum. It was then decided to get a
tank.
LANDED INTHE RIVER.
Aeronaut rhlllips Rescued by Gutter
Hamilton's Boat.
Aeronaut Phillips made a successful
parachute leap in the presence of sev
eral thousand people at Thunderbolt
yesterday afternoon, and landed in the
middle of the Thunderbolt river. The
balloonist struck the water squarely,
with some force, and went to the bot
tom. He bobbed up a few seconds later,
and floated until the arrival of a life
boat that had been put out from the
revenue cutter Hamilton to rescue
him.
The street railway company was tax
ed to its utmost capacity in handling
the crowds that were attracted to the
Casino by the balloon ascension, and
the receipts from the Thunderbolt line
should have been very large. The bal
loon stunt was pulled off without a
hitch, and Phillips shot upward, and
drifted to the north, and over the river.
The spectators were surprised to find
the aeronaut a negro, but his work was
clever. He ascended about a thousand
feet before the parachute was cut
loose. Phillips and the parachute had
scarcely hit the water when the bal
loon collapsed and fell in the marsh
opposite the Casino.
In addition to the baloon ascension
a special concert was given by a dou
ble orchestra. The Tybee Hotel orches
tra and the Casino orchestra were
combined, and under the leadership o:‘
Prof. Richard Tarrant gave an enter
taining concert. All of the cars return
ing to the city were crowded, and many
of those who were anxious to return
early had to stand on the trip in.
W. H. SULLIVAN DEAD.
Death Came to Him Suddenly and
Without Warning.
Mr. W. H. Sullivan died suddenly
and unexpectedly yesterday between
3 and 5 o’clock at his home, at Hous
ton and State streets.
For the last few days Mr. Sullivan
had been complaining of indigestion,
and while his ailment was not re
garded as serious. It is known that he
had occasional severe attacks. He re
tired to his room at 3 o’clock, and re
quested that he be called at 5. Short
ly thereafter Mr. Joseph Sullivan went
to call his brother and found him
dead. It was believed he had been
taken off by an attack of indigestion.
Mr. Sullivan has been pressman m
the Morning News job department for
fifteen years, and was faithful and
conscientious in the discharge of his
duty.
The deceased was single. He was 33
years of age. He leaves one brother,
Joseph Sullivan, and his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Sullivan. His nephews are Mas
ters John, Daniel and Willie Sullivan.
He was a memDer of the Hibernian
Society, and at one time, was actively
connected with the military.
The funeral will take place at the
residence at 4:30 o’clock this afternoon.
Services will also be held at the Cathe
dral. The interment will be in the
Cathedral Cemetery. The pall bearers
will be Messrs. R. E. Rossiter, T. E.
McAlpln, Dennis Leonard, W. J. Fitz
patrick, J. N. Davis and William Hay
den.

SPANISH WOMAN BETTER.
Mixture of Laudanum and Morphine
Failed Entirely.
Annie Gomez, the Spanish woman
who tried to end her life of shame
with a mixture of laudanum and mor
phine Saturday night. Is still a patient
at the Savannah Hospital. The wo
man has recovered consciousness and
is out of all danger. She will probably
be discharged by the physicians to-day.
The Gomez woman has not yet stat
ed her reason for the rash act, but
has shown no disposition to repeat it.
At police headquarters it was reported
that there had been a row In the house
in which the woman was an inmate,
and that a young man had been beat
en. It is not known whether this had
anything to do with her attempt on
her life. The mixture of laudanum
and morphine was taken while the
fight was in progress.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 9. 1901.
THE POLITICAL RUB
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL
WRESTLE WITH RULES.
TURN OF THE TIDE.
ANTI-CORRUPTION EFFORT SEEMS
TO BE DOOMED.
Seventeen Solid Votes Required to
Adopt New Rules—They May Be
Forthcoming in the Matter of the
Sub-Committee's Rules, but the
Other Motion Promises to Be Lost.
Not n Sure Thing That a Constitu
tional Majority Will Attend Meet
ing— Laznrou and Collins Clnlis
Will Meet nt Same Time—Candi
date Hnrtrldge's Protest to Be In
vestigated l>y the Ordinary Tills
Morning.
Lively developments are expected in
the political situation to-day and the
political ball will be put in motion
when Judge Cann takes up the pro
test of Candidate Hartridge at 9 o’clock
tills morning. As was stated in the
Mornings News yesterday Mr. Hart
ridge objects to persons not connected
with the Court of Ordinary making
copies of the voters' book. All of the
candidates have been invited to attend
the hearing, and considerable infor
mation will probably be given on the
subject of voting ringers.
There is considerable speculation as
to whether there will be a constitu
tional majority present at the adjourn
ed meeting of the Executive Commit
tee this evening. It requires the vote
of seventeen members of the commit
tee to change the rules, and there ap
pears to be some doubt in certain quar-
ters as to the of such a
strong attendance.
Not all of. the committee is heartily
in favor of a primary, even though the
call has been issued for one. In the
event that seventeen members should
attend the meeting and one of those
present should be an anti-primary
man nothing could be done by the com
mittee in the way of adopting rules.
One vote would lose the motion. Chair
man Alexander will leave for Chicago
at midnight, and no meeting could be
held until his return to the city. That
will be only a few days betore the
time allowed, under the rules adopted
by the special committee, for candi
dates to announce. Rules adopted at
such a late date might complicate the
situation and cause a deadlock. In that
event the primary, which has already
been settled upon for Oct. 10, would
be held under the rules adopted by
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
The aditional rules to prevent the
improper use of money at the polls
will be read again at to-night's meet
ing. They were drawn up by Candi
date Hkrtridge and introduced by
Committeeman Juchter. It is gener
ally believed that the rules proposed
by Mr. Hartridge will be promptly kill
ed by the committee, but the discussion
before the question is put promises to
be interesting and animated. Commit
teeman Juchter is in hearty sympa
thy with the move that is being made
for a better condition of affairs in lo
cal politics, and will have consid
erable to say on the subject to-night.
Col. Juchter can see no reason why the
purchasing of votes, either directly or
indirectly, cannot be stopped. He is
of the opinion that the adoption of the
rules offered by him would do the
trick that officers and laws have failed
to accomplish.
Those who are opposed to primaries
say that if a primary is going to be
held the anti-corruption rules should
be adopted. They figure, it that a pri
mary is a farce, unless better results
can be attained. Some of the primary
advocates do not look at it in this light,
and contend that the proposed rules
can do no good. They claim that a man
who will violate the law by purchasing
votes would not hesitate to commit a
second violation by committing perjury.
With such a division of opinion there
appears to be no likelihood of seven
teen members of the committee voting
for the rules offered by Mr. Hartridge.
The discussion of the question will be
lively and the debate will be spirited.
In addition to the meeting of the
Executive Committee two meetings are
scheduled to come off to-night. No no
tice of the postponement of the meet
ing of the Chatham County Commer
cial and Labor Union has been givenj
The club has been called to meet ii?
the Interest of Mr. Lazaron In Labor
Hall, on Abercorn and Bryan streets.
The South Side League will meet in
Kizer’s Hall, at 8;30 o’clock, and the
gathering will probably be an interest
ing one. The league is in thorough
sympathy with and has indorsed Mr.
J. S. Collins for ordinary. Mr. Collins*
friends say that his being subpoenaed
before the grand Jury in a gambling
case of which he knew absolutely noth
ing was a political blow far below the
belt. Something may be said on this
line at the meeting, which will prob
ably be largely attended.
ASKING ABOUT PRESIDENT.
Intercut in His Condition Wan Mark
ed All Du)
All of yesterday the interest in the
condition of the President continued.
People were asking everywhere for the
latest information about him. The
reports, on the whole, were encourag
ing, and it was relieving to all to learn
that the physicians had hopes of the
President’s recovery.
Many telephone inquiries reached the
Morning News, by which bulletins were
received at frequent intervals. Infor
mation was given those who rang up
the paper, and bulletins were posted
upon the board on Whitaker street.
Though it was Sunday and there were
not so many people on the streets as
during a week day, there were never
theless a number of persons about the
bulletin board all day. The reports, be
ing reassuring, however, did not draw
so large crowds as would have gath
ered had greater fear of the President's
life been felt.
FOR THE FAIRY PLAY.
Lailien and Children Will Meet This
Afternoon.
Ladles report that children are tak
ing a great interest in "Enchantment,”
the fairy play that is to be given for
the benefit of the State Fair. It is
probable that there will be a large at
tendance of both ladies and children
at the meeting that is to be held this
afternoon at 5 o’clock at the banquet
hall of the De Soto Hotel. The ladies
will organize for the work of prepara
tion, and rehearsals, under the direc
tion of Mr. John E. Owens, author and
director of the play, will be commenced
at once.

PRAYED FOR CZOLGOSZ.
Her. D. Caivtliun Asked for Opening
of the Aiiurckiat's Heart.
Anarchist Leon F. Czolgosz, who
shot the nation’s chief magistrate at
Buffalo, was prayed for at both serv
ices yesterday at the First Baptist
Church. The prayer was part of a
special one for the recovery of Presi
dent McKinley and was delivered by
Rev. K. W. Cawthon, who is occupying
Dr. Jordan’s pulpit.
The prayer was for the opening of
the anarchist’s heart so that he may
see the error of his acts, and realize
the great wrong he committed; real
ize his wickedness in attempting to
assassinate the ruler of a great na
tion and a man loved by all, regardless
of political affiliations, or social stand
ing. God was called upon to change
the heart of the man whose act
brought terror to a nation, and almost
shrouded it in funeral raiment. ,
The speedy recovery and delivery to
the American people of their President
was prayed for and God was called up
on to help him bear his burdens peace
fully and calmly. The family of the
wounded chieftain was also remember
ed, and God’s aid and comfort in the
hour of affliction, and painful watch
ing, was asked. The special prayer was
heard at both the morning and evening
services.
At the evening service Mr. Cawthon
spoke on the “Great Enemy of Man
kind.” A slight reference was made
of the attack on President McKinley
during the discourse on the Devil and
his manner of work on mankind. The
minister said that he had no doubt that
the man who shot the President had
been thinking of the matter for days
before the act itself was committed.
The tireless evil spirit hovering over
his soul entered his heart, and the
Devil prompted the awful deed of vio
lence.
CONTEST OF THE BLUES.
Will Be Held at the Rifle Range on
Sept. 18.
The annual rifle contest at the
Avondale Range will be held by the
Republican Blues on Wednesday aft
ernoon, Sept. 18. It is expected that
a large proportion of the members of
the company will find it possible to at
tend the affair. After the contest at
the range is over, the company will
return to the armory, where the prizes
will be awarded and where the mem
bers will be entertained by the officers.
The officers desire that all members
of every class be present, both at the
range and at the armory after the
shooting.
Five prizes will be awarded. The
company first prize, a gold medal, will
be awarded to the officer or enlisted
rman making the highest score at 200,
300 and 500 yards. The company second
prize, a gold medal, will be awarded
to the officer or enlisted man making
the next highest score at 200, 300 and
500 yards. The third prize, $2.50 in gold,
will be awarded to the enlisted man
making the third highest score at 200,
300 and 500 yards. A prize of the same
amount will be awarded to the enlisted
man. who has never qualified as
marksman or sharpshooter, making the
highest score at 200 and 300 yards. A
pair of gold cuff buttons will be award
ed to the veteran, honary or pay
member making the highest score at
200 yards.
MANY PRAYERS FOR PRESIDENT.
Offered In Both ,Whlte and Colored
Clmrches.
In nearly all of the Evangelical
churches yesterday the attack of
Czolgosz on President McKinley was
discussed, in some cases furnishing the
subject of the entire sermon, as at the
First Presbyterian Church, in others
being mentioned only incidentally,
while in some of the churches only
public prayers for the recovery of the
President were offered.
Rev. D. S. Edenfield, pastor of the
Southside Baptist Church, used the les
son drawn from the attack and the
spiri* of lawlessness that prompted it
as the subject of his morning sermon,
while the sermon of Rev. W. A. Nis
bet, pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church, was based upon the same gen
eral theme. In both these churches
prayers were offered for the recovery
of the President and prayers of the
same tenor were offered also in Grace
Methodist Church by Rev. Osgood F.
Cook, in Trinity by Rev. Bascom An
thony, and in Wesley Monumental by
Rev. O. G. Mingledorff.
Prayers of a similar nature were of
fered also in the First African Church
by Rev. Carr, and in several of oth
er colored churches by their respective
pastors.
SAYS HE’S NOT A POLE.
Savannah's Pole* Deny Czolgnss as
Their Countryman.
The Poles of Savannah, of which
there are about thirty, mostly on the
truck farms Just outside the city, do
not claim Czolgosz, the would-be
assassin of the President, as one of
their countrymen.
Mr. E. I. Okarma, who may be said
to be the head of the Polish colony
here, said yesterday that Czolgosz is
not a Pole, except by descent and
should not be classed as one.
Mr. Okarma said the Poles of Sa
vannah do not condone the
crime against the President. They
condemn it and the would-be
murderer, but they resent the imputa
tion that the crime was the act of one
of their countrymen.
“Czolgosz having been born in this
country, is an American,” said Mr.
Okarma, “even though his parents
were immigrants, and it is not right
or Just to charge the great crime
against President McKinley against
our countrymen.”
HEADY TO GIVE BOND.
Grove* Say* He Wa* in Macon When
Indictment* Were Found.
W. C. Groves got back from Macon
yesterday, where he went on business.
During his absence from the city, he
says, he learned of the two indictments
found against him by the grand jury,
and he is willing to give bond for his
appearance for trial.
Groves is proprietor of the Planters'
Hotel. Regarding the statement of Mr.
J. S. Collins that Groves was indebted
to him. Mr. Groves said that he had
paid up the amount, $l5O. He declares
his intention of remaining in business
at the Planters' Hotel.
Letter Carrier* Going Home.
Very nearly a hundred letter car
riers, delegates to the convention that
met recently at Chattanooga, arrived
in Savannah last night en route home,

of them, for New York via the Ocean

Here.
A combination of local politics, na
tional questions and anarchy made tip
the sermon preached last night at
Trinity Church by Rev. Bascom An
thony. The attempted assassination of
the President suggested much of that
which he said, and his expressions of
sympathy for Mr. McKinley and re
gret for the atrocity found an echo in
the hearts of his congregation.
“The attempted assassination of our
President," said Mr. Anthony, “and
God grant that it may prove only an
attempt, directs our thoughts to gov
ernment. It is necessary that men
have some form of government, be it
what it may, God imposes this upon
them, and there must be restraint for
evil.
“Above all, this terrible occurrence
in our own land brings out attention
from far countries back to our own.
We perceive that there are conditions
here that make it necessary to look to
our domestic laws. As abroad, so can
there be anarchy, of the fierce, mur
derous kind, nurtured here.”
Mr. Anthony took his text from Gen
esis 18:21: “Moreover thou shalt pro
vide out of all the people able men,
such as fear God, men of truth, hating
coveteousness, and place such over
them.” He said that the best means
for bringing about proper conduct of
the affairs of the nation would be
through each and every man looking
to his own imperfections, asking him
self honestly the question as to wheth
er he were faithful and true to his
country and loyal to those doctrines
and creeds that make for its great ad
vancement. Each and every man
should seek to properly discharge his
duties to his country, seeing that his
vote and his influence goes to the plac
ing of pure, clean, honest men in the
positions over the people, for God
places upon every man the responsibil
ity of seeing that men of a certain
stamp are put over their fellows.
“This,” said the pastor,' “should be
in the mind of every man when he
is about to exercise the franchise. Not
personal reasons, not friendship, not
religion, should guide in the selection
of one to fill a public offiqe. These
should all be lost sight of, and a voter
should be moved only by the consider
ation as to whether he for whom he
may vote is qualified to meet all the
requirements of that office and fill it
faithfully and well. That a man is
good, that he is religious, does not
imply that he is capacitated to fill a
public position. That he is your friend
does not signify that he is the best
man who may be trying for an office.
That he is the candidate of your party
does not signify that he should be
elected. I grieve to say that the bulk
of the people of this country stand by
the candidate of their party, but God
send the time when there may be more
mugwumps, 'one of whom I am which,’
so that party whips cannot drive the
people to the elevation of a man who
is in no wise qualified for high office.
Party fealty is the cry they raise, but
it is nothing more than the lash of
the party boss. I’ll vote for no man
unless I believe him honest and in
every way fit for the place to which
he aspires.
“All this may be construted into
having some meaning for the race for
ordinary, but I had no thought of such
an application. I will, however, speak
of that contest. One thing that im
presses me about the race is the fact
that some men say that they have
pledged themselves to one man or an
other, and they think that they must
stand by their promise to vote for him.
That is something I will never do. I
may tell a man that I think I will vote
for him, but I reserve the right to
change my mind. I'll not be tied to
any man. What I want is a man who
fears God. Not in this race for ordinary
nor in any other race would I vote for
a man who does not fear God, for I
would not trust such a man. Let him
fear and worship God and be honest,
and I would vote for him no matter
what his religion, whether he be Chris
tian, Jew or Mohammedan.”
The minister then turned to the con
sideration of anarchy, saying that it
comes from lawlessness, and that law
lessness is a result of a disregard for
God 'and man. He said that he was
not surprised to find that the assassin,
Czolgosz, did not believe in Gpd and
that he was an ex-barkeeper. He said
that barrooms have been directly con
nected with all anarchial demonstra
tions of any moment that have been
chronicled, and that is one reason, he
said, why he will never vote for any
one who may have anything to do with
a barroom’or for any one who may
favor one who does. That is a fight, he
declared, that he will wage all his life
and that, when he dies, he will will to
his children, who, should they not con
tinue the fight, he will rise from his
grave to confront.
Mr. Anthony here gave the system
of making candidates pay election ex
penses a rap, declaring that it is all
wrong, giving the impression that pub
lic office, instead of being a public
trust, is a private snap, something for
which candidates themselves should
pay the expense of acquiring, rather
than the people, whose servants they
want to be. A public officer is as much
the servant of the people as any one
employed by a business man is his ser
vant, the preacher said. The people
own him, and they should pay any cost
there may be for his choice and his in
stallation as their servant. He said
that he did not Intend to criticize the
Executive Committee of this county,
for the same condition prevails
throughout the country. The system,
he declared, is wrong.
"I am not surprised," said Mr.
Anthony, “that anarchy should be get
ting a foothold In this country, for,
being but lawlessness, what else could
be expected. Anarchy condemns all
law, wants no law. Lawlessness,
therefore, is anarchy. There is law
lessness In Savannah, ther“fore there
is anarchy here. There Is not the
murderous type, wherein the culmina
tion of all evil thoughts is a desire to
kill, but there is the seed here that
produces it. Law is disregarded.
"I wish that I had words that might
adequately express my grief and the
grief of this congregation that our be
loved President should have been shot
by an assassin. Were it not for the
covetousness of votes, the covetous
ness of each of the great political par
ties of this country, there would be no
more such scoundrels as that assassin
brought to' America. This greed for
votes is responsible, votes secured by
any means, fair or foul. Were it not
for this insatiable desire to get the
power of the people, these parties
would have long since enacted laws to
suppress the immigration of such
scoundrels. I wish there were a law
that would make it an offense punish
able by hanging for any man to even
make an attempt upon the life of one
of our high officials."
AUSTIN RICE WILL COME.
Work on the Fords’ Opera House to
He Begun To-day.
After many promises to come to Sa
vannah Austin Rice has finally defi
nitely agreed to come for a bout with
Tommy Feltz, to take place later in
the season, sometime after the Daly-
Bennett bout next Monday. Rice, it
is understood, wants it to be a 20-
round affair, but it is possible that it
may be stretched into the usual num
ber, 25 rounds.
The plans for the remodeling of the
interior of the old Fords' Opera House,
where future bouts will take place,
have been completed and the actual
work on the building will be begun to
day. It is expected to have it finished
in ample time for all bouts that follow
the next one, and maybe it will be
ready in time for that.
