Two "Degrees" What AnarobleU 00 And How Thoy Bloct An AiwaHsin. 100,000 In U. 8. J. R. Sovereign, tho noted labor leader, who is now editing tho Ma Jio Slate Tribune, at Wallncc, linn in tlit! lust iMimlxT of his paper an ixceedinirly interesting article on "What Anarchy Hcally In." Mr, Mr. Sowign wan formerly general nianlcr workman of tho Knights of Lttlmr. II is convinced that the assunination of President McKinley wan culmination of a villainous plot, lie cays: "Th cowardly assassination on the life of President Mckinley, re calls to the writer hereof, many of his experiences with anarchists during his long connection with tho lulior movement. We do not wish to infer that tho anarchist organizations in America comprise any part of the lahor movement nor that either their ineml-ers or their organization ever gained any ptar.ding or recognition among the lahor organizations of the country, tut the anarchist for the pant 25 years have to a greatei or lens ex tent used the lahor movement and lahor organisation as on oppor tunity to proselyte for the lienefit of their nefarious doctrines. It has been their persistent policy to pain membership in local labor or ganizations, and, it possible, press themselves forward into official iiositions, say little or nothing themselves of a violent nature, hut wait paitently until some poor de luded misguided fellow memtar proposes lawlessness or violence as a remedy for industrial wrongs, then encourage him in private until his manhood was utterly lost in the vicionsness which they con tribute to stimulate. "As soon as their process of in triguo and cunning had created a favorable lnmression upon the mind and character of their victim they invariably strengthen their hold and initiate him into what they call the 'white card' degree of anarchy. In that division of the organization nothing of a criminal character is uttered and no con epiracies against public officials aro concocted. The members are free to discuss both principals and methods without restriction, but as soon one develo'pes suflicient courage and depravity ho is initial ed into the 'red card' degree of tho organization. Tho 'red card' do gree is a profound secret from the itecard.' The 'white card' rn jmbers have .no knowledge that there is any such thing in existence a tho 'red card' division or group as they call themselves. The 'red card' members never withdray or serve their connection with tho 'white card' degree, but meet with the 'white cards' as regular after their initiation into tho 'red card' de gree as before, but thero they sit waiting and watching for some 'white card' member to qualify LiiuK'l! for 'tho Ligher and inner circles of the organization, and it is in the 'red card' degree that all the conspiracies ugainst life and the election of assassins take place. "Tim elected assassin is provided with evcrythiil his comfort and entertainment requires between the time of his elation and perpet- rution of the crimo for which he h:is been chosen, but must avail: himself of tho first opportunity to perpetrate the deed to which be has been elected and must at all times bo resigned to his fate and swear to the last extremity that he has no acquaintance with the or ganization and no accomplices in the crime committed. The man who shot President McKinley was to our mind elected to do so. re gardless of any statement he may make to the contrary. "The anarchist organization in America is numerically stronger than many suppose. "Many of tho former leaders of anarchy in America have deserted SCHOOL BOOK Ajrents Must Exchange Kew for Old. Says Supt. .ekerman r The General Agents for the State Have Bo Instructed. Them. ' i Many letters are reaching the of fice of Prof. J. II. Ackerman, Sup erintendent of Public Instructions, daily, regarding the exchange prices of school books and in many cases the writers state that their local dealers refuse to take in ex change for new books any old volumes that have a pencil mark or any other sign of former use. 8upt. Ackerman, K. reply, states that J. K. Gill &' Co., the state light of a lantern. He sawed one horn off three times before he could get them loose, and he was covered with blood from head to foot. The horns of a ram are springy and when the animals fight they come together with such force and viol ence that very often their horns clasp together so tightly that it is impossible to get free. This hap pens on the range occasionally and if they are not discovered they starve to death. Buck deer do the same way, as carcasses have been found with the antlers locked. One can see an evidence of this at the Innes ranch where the brothers have two pairs locked together that were picked up in the mountains years ago. Paisley Post. GENERAL HEWS. Items of Interest Gath ered Here and There Some Stolen, Others Not Cullmsrs From Our Exchanges Newa Notes of the Week Timely Topics the disreputable cause and become 8ts for the new school books, peaceable, law abiding citizens, have sent out instructions to all hut much to the din-race of the! local agents handling the new country, others have taken their places, and whatever they lacked to jierfcct their organization has been imported from foreign coun tries. In fact it may be truthfully stated that the organization itself is not only foreign in character, but foreign in membership, and it is reported upon quite reliable au thority that its memliership in America now aggregates more than 100,(XX). They are scattered throughout the length and breadth of the nation, but operate more ex tensively in the densely populated centers of the east. Paterson, N. J., is among the recognized head quarters, but the membership is quite numerous in all the large cities of the country." American has been tha asylum of anarchists for nearly half a cen tury and they have been active since 1884. I 1 gree I 1 'whi 1 J "1 The liCmion With the opening of the public school, teachers will begin the teach ing again of tho ono lesson that children never learn until they are out of school. The lesson is short but a liard one. Briefly, it is the fact that no one suffers from the shirking of school studies except ing tho pupil. If quick-witted Jonny discovers that ho can "pass" by skimming over his daily task, the teacher will not be the one fooled. If lazy Susan manages to slide through the monthly examin ation, the teacher does not get the worst of the proposition. Jonny and Susan may think that they are cute, but they are not They are the ones who will find they have traded poor work for poor returns Thev will find after a while that the teacher did, not figure in the problem. They will discover that while they thought they were work ing the teacher they were being worked by themselves. Improved charts, diversified courses of study and newfangled ideas of pedagogy books, tint all old books must be accepted in exchange, and he ad vises patrons to ucmana to see these instructions, if dealeer refuse to accept their old boods in ex change, as local agents have ab solutely no right to place restric tions upon patrons in tho matter of exchange. The instructions sent out by J. K. Gill & Co., of Portland, to their Leal agents, are as follows: "The contracts of publishers re quire them to exchange new books for old ones on 'the same subject and of the game grade' and that have been 'heretofore legally ad opted' and are 'in actual or con templated use in the public schools in Oregon. "The old books may be dirty and worn, and possibly without cover, but it should be in such condition that it could have been used by the pupil in his school work if no change had been made "In changing a new First Reader for an old one the pupil pays 13 cents. The price you will find, as well as tho price for all the books to be exchanged, in a column for that purpose. Our own order list will be most convenient for refer ence. Frye's Elements of Geogra phy will be exchanged for Mon tielh's Elementary or Natural Elementary and 30 cents; Frye's Complete for Monticth's Compre hensive or Natural Advanced Geo graphy and GO cents, and so on through the list. There will be no exchange of Wheeler's Prime?, Writing Books, Drawing Books, Speller, Mental Arithmetic or Sup plementary Beading Books. "Dealers must not send back their exchanged books or their shelf stock until requested by us to do so." Statesman. Czolgonz Indicted. Leon F.

Titus former Supreme Court Justices of tliLa city, whose names had been suggested by the Erie County Bar Association. Czologosz probably will be arraigned again tomorrow morning, to plead to the indict ment. Distric Attorney Penny presented the evidence of the case to the Grand Jury.
