Description

Excerpt from Addresses and Papers of Theodore Roosevelt When we turn from the man to the nation, the harm done is so great as to excite our gravest apprehensions and to demand our wisest and most absolute action. This criminal was a professed anarchist, inflamed by the teachings of professed anarchists, and probably also by the reckless ut terances of those who, on the stump and in the public press, appeal to the dark and evil spirits of malice and greed, envy and sullen hatred. The wind is sowed by the men who preach such doctrines, and they can not escape their share of responsibility for the whirlwind that is reaped. This applies alike to the deliberate demagogue, to the ex ploiter Of sensationalism, and to the crude and foolish visionary who, for whatever reason, apologizes for crime or excites aimless discontent. The blow was aimed not at this President, but at all Presidents; at every symbol of government. President mckinley was as emphatically the embodiment of the popu lar will of the nation expressed through the forms of law as a New England town meeting is in similar fashion the embodiment of the law-abiding purpose and practice of the people Of the town. On no conceivable theory could the murder of the President be accepted as due to protest against inequalities in the social order, save as the mur der of all the freemen engaged in a town meeting could be accepted as a protest against that social inequality which puts a malefactor in jail. Anarchy is no more an expression of social discontent than picking pockets or wife beating. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
