Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Annual Congress of the National Prison Association of the United States: Held at Kansas City, Missouri, November 9-13, 1901 The Annual Meeting of the National Prison Association of the United States was called to order in the Grand Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, in Kansas City, Missouri, on Saturday evening, November 9, 1901, by Hon. W. H. Wallace, Chairman of the Local Committee. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. O´B. Lowry. Mr. Wallace then welcomed the Association in a short address of which the following is the substance: Ladies and Gentlemen: - My sincere gratitude is due you for the honor conferred upon me by asking me to preside upon this occasion. I hardly know what to say to you for it will not do for me to deliver the speech of welcome for the city, because the keys of the city do not belong to me and that pleasant duty must devolve upon the Mayor. Nor can I usurp the prerogative of the Governor in welcoming you to the Commonwealth of Missouri. But some one has suggested to me that I might tell you what I think of when I see a penitentiary. To be candid, the thought that has come into my mind every time that I have seen a prison within the last six weeks has been that I wished every anarchist in America were going to abide there forever. I do not believe that we people in America fully comprehend our situation in this matter of anarchy. Forty-four years before Christ, Julius Cæsar fell assassinated at the base of Pompey´s statue. Thirty-seven years after Christ, Tiberius Cæsar was assassinated. Forty-one years after Christ, Caligula, the Roman despot, was assassinated. So that in eighty-five years in heathen Rome there were three chief rulers assassinated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
