BOMBlHROWERS
Now that the people are point-
ing the finger of scorn at con-
'easetl dynamiters and it is an-
nounced that other criminals Will
be forced to join the parade of
deep disgrace, it is well to turn
leaf in the nation's docket and
consider other destructive agen-
cies.
It is seldom a legislature meets
that some member dodging about
in the low-lying forests of dis-
content does not hurl a legisla-
tive bomb hissing into the ranks
of industry and screaming with
hate and seething with spite, it
carries its message of terror to
the investor. There is no more
pitiful sound known in civiliza-
tion than the crasb of a fallen in-
d istry and no crime is so terrible
as one that destroys opportunity.
After all, the man who twists
a few bands of steel with a stick
of dynamite has committed a
much ksi crime against society
than he who would wrench indus-
try from its socket by statutory
enactments or blow up tho walls
rtf progress with legislative explo,
sives.
