MRS. LEASE’S WAY.

Wliat She Would Have Hone if She Had Been in Coxey’s Place. Kansas City, Mo., May 3. —Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, of Kansas, is in Kansas City today. “I am iu the hands of my dressmaker,'’ she explained. “Itis uufortunate, but we must pay attention to the customs and fashions.” “What da I think of Coxey?” she said. “This spontaneous uprising of people from every part of the country is not the work of one man, and it is not accidental. It is a resolution of a starving people.” “What would you have done had you been in Coxey’s place?’’ “What would I have doue? I should haye gone„jip those steps into the Capitotpior I never would have tried it. But I would not have'tried to go into the Capitol building until I had a force behind me that could easily overcome all the police of Washington.” The above is right in line with Mrs. Lease’s revolutionary and anarchistic in her speech here. If she had her way she would precipitate a bloody revolution and reign of,anarchy.
