They area most .law-abiding people, very Industrious and peaceful and always mind their own business a proof of thla being the reason why they did not return fire when the mob destroyed their property and put them out of their homes. They all could fight, but they believe In the law, and left wrong to be tried and punished by the law. The reason that the orators of last Sun day's meeting Incited the crowd to attack the Greek no doubt every American cltl cen can aee. But I ask these orators, "Do they realise how the civilised natlona of the whole world rank us 7" And "Did they realise when they urged the mob to de stroy property they were destroying the property tf American cltlseps and tax payers?" " ' . We aa a law-abiding people realise that there are many undesirable Greeks, but can any nation say "It has no black sheep within Its folds?" And la there any law that aaya "the Innocent must suffer for the deeds' of (he badf ' " In strength of this defense I appeal. to every -American ,who bas visited 3rc and knowa of It aa a nation. .
