Editorial.

X X X Conclusion of an article headed "Contribution to the question of arming."

"It is scarcely necessary for us to say in conclusion that it would be an insane undertaking to meet the serfs of order with empty hands and to allow ones self to be clubbed down and to be shot down without means of defense; taking this into consideration it appears clearly that it is more necessary than anything else to arm ones self as soon as possible. Therefore, workingmen, do arm yourselves with the most effectual means. The better you do this the quicker the fight is fought, the sooner the victory is yours. Do not delay, for that would be your ruin."
