A Letter
3304 Park Avenue,
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 1, 1901.
L E. W, E,
My Dear Sir:—
Will you be kind enough to mention at the close
of my article, in your own language of course, that as some thoughtless, superficial
or shallow minded individuals in various parts of the country have attempted
to connect me in some way with the horrible crime of Czolgosz (because I predicted
it) that it is due me to state that I am a man of reputation and responsibility
in the community; that I am a Republican and believe in all our glorious republican
institutions, that I voted for McKinley both times, that I predicted his election
both times, that I speak of him in the same spirit that any true-blue American
would feel when speaking of Washington, Lincoln, Garfield or Grant. And, his
assassination, which, while it did not surprise me, owing to my knowledge of
Astrology, came nevertheless, as a frightful shock. I also believe that Anarchy
is a deadly poison in our body politic and no means can be too harsh to forever
exterminate it.
Truly Yours,
J. E.
