About the Dollar Mark.

There are several theories to &C.
count for the origin OF our dollar
mark (s).
First-Some say 1t is combination
or monogram composed Of the letters

States.
second--It may have been derived
from "H. ST." the mark OF the Roman
money unit.
THRIFT is probably combina.

The r. publican's views on the A. p. A.
are interesting. even though they are
calculated to keep people guessing
Editor Wells does not give an unqualified
endorsement of this secret political So
ciety, with its unpatriotic. vicious and
despicable methods, neither does he de-
nounce it as illegal. unconstitutional and
reasonable. He makes the stereotyped
argument of you're another" and hints
that in Waterbury the A. P. A. is a neces-
sary evil, or words TO that effect. If there
is one thing we admire in a newspaper it
is the courage to express its honest con-
yictions. We cannot believe that Editor
Wells honestly believes in the principles
of the A. 2. A.. and it pains US to see his
lamentable lack of sand" 1t is a case
where tweedledum and tweedledee will not
do. The question yet remains to be an
swered: Is the Republican in sympathy
with the A. p. A?
