Since the conviction and Imprisonment
of CoXey and his lieutenants, the term,
"keep off the grass, has taken on a broader
meaning than heretofore. In so far as the
attempts of the tramps and demagogues
TO defy law aud order are concerned, the
grass embraces everything that the law
protects, all that the people at large re-
spect, and that in which all Americans
have rights but no property interests
When the CoXeyites are told that they
must keep off the grass, therefore, it
means that they must keep where they
belong, within bounds, or feel the hand of
the law. The sooner the armies" learn
that Lesson the better it will be for them
The New York Times is making a pow
erful fight against the American Protect
i've Association Day after day it prints
columns of authentic information calcu-
lated to damn the organization, and its
supply of such information seems to be
inexhaustible. 1t was thought by some
that when George Jones died, and Gilbert
Jones, his son. went out of the manage
ment of the paper, the Times had lost it's
fighting powers. But that was mistake.
The same plan that beat Tweed and was
later employed against great insurance
iniquity is being employed against the A.

The Baptist union of Great Britain
has just passed resolution declaring
that there is too much lynching in the
United States. The union is correct
there is too much lynching here, not only
in the south, but in the north and west as
well AT the same time it is not apparent
how the passing of resolutions on the
other side of the ocean is going to keep
hot-headed mobs on this side from string
ing up their victims.
