dignnnt cpinnient, no tin ills of
horror, no abhorrence and de
testation expressed therein over
•he atle .ipled assassination of
Mayor Duncan, of Buttei Mon
* tana.
A short news item is all snffi.
* cient. Tlie American public is
not expected to thill! over any
: thing less Digit the murder or at
* tempted paurdcr of a foreign
potentate, an /rr'rian archduke
or a politician or t-IHcial either
- domestic or ft reign, who repre
■ sents in the lnj in the establish
ed order of things.
The Mayor of Hutto, (hough
locally representing “lawfully
constituted authority,” was net
tubeless a Socialist. Hence thi>
lack of editorial tears.
According lo the policy of tin
capitalist press, it isn’t much o
• a crime to kill a Socialist, if ii
is a crime nt all. True, the\
• don’t say so openly-—it wouldn’t
be good policy— but when a St
• cialist does happen to get killed,
as has or cured now and then in
riots, strikes gnd Ubor troubles,
bis taking off, if noticed at all,
is usually imputed to the killers
as a sort e f civic virtue,
But this is a straight case ol
• attempted assassination that
• cannot be twisted or evaded, so
nothing is said about it. Had
Duncan been a Republican or
Democratic official, it would
have been very different.
Every capitalist niine owner’s
journal in the West would in
such case have denounced the
would be it urderer as a “Social
ist or Anaichist,” insisted on
portraying the Mayor of Butte
as a sialvart defender of “law
and order” and asserted over
and over again that “assassina
tion never changed anything in
the history of the world.”
As it is, there isn’t one ol
them that doesn’t regret that he
was not cut into mincemeat by
the murderous idiot who ussualt
ed him.
However it is not policy to
say so openly, and the matter
becomes a case of “No comment
necessary.” New York Call.

That the assassins of the Crown
Prince of Austria-Hungary were
not Servians but Austrians is the
charge made by Pravo a rods

organ of the Socialist p r ty pub

Emperor Francis declared war a

The Socialist organ declares
that immediately after the assas
sination of Francis Ferdinand ev
erything possible was done to
spread the news that the assassi
nation wag hatched in Belgrade
by the Servian government- It
j points out that it is plajn that
this was a plan to bring op the

and that the Servian government
had sought to deport him to
Austria In this thp Servian* wgre
blocked by the Austro-Hungarjan
consul. The same was true of
Prineip, the student, who fired
the fatal shots and whom the
Servians had also sought to
deport.
