Carrington of Los Angeles, Cal., says: 'How does Mr. Pentecost evade the logic of those who call him an Anarchist? 'An' means against, 'archy' means government. It takes a brave and graceful man to correct himself at our gratuitous suggestions, but I thought Mr. P. was not afflicted with more than average cowardice or awkwardness.' [Hugh O. Pentecost replies] 'I am not against government, I am only against the Government. Mr. Benjamin R. Tucker says he is an Anarchist. Messrs. Victor Yarros, C.L. James, Dyer D. Lum, and John Most each says the same of himself. But the doctrines taught by each differ from those taught by the other. If I should say I am an Anarchist, it might mean something in general, but it would mean nothing in particular, and it would not be true. I am not an Anarchist. Any well-known Anarchist will say that I am not. I believe that the compulsory government of man by man is unwise. Is it necessary to label myself with a name that I do not understand merely because I hold that belief?"); poem "The Dream of Hope" by Clifford Howard; "A Christian to a Friend" (in letter format) by "Brother Man and Seeker for Truth"; article "Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum in Gambling" by Fred H. Colvin ("As long as the desire for gambling, called speculation by those who think that it sounds better, exists, so long will means for the gratification of this passion be found, despite all laws to the contrary; the only remedy is in moral education"); article "The Blessedness of Peacemaking" by the Rev. Cater Totherich; article from The Society of Human Progress entitled "Religion the Child of Infidelity" (no author cited, but most probably Henry Frank); article "The Laborer and the Land" by Frederick Verinder writing in the London Church Reformer); "Our Weekly News-Letter" (summaries of progressive and radical news).
