ORIGIN OF THE TERM "MOB"

Rod. In Roger NOrth's EXamcn, l14O,
reference is made to the Green Ribbon
club, ljSO-2. and the writer adds:
II may note that the rnbblc first

CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign practically closes
this week and the Ropuhl;e"n iesd-
ers have made then last apology for
the Presidents blunders and for the
dishonest policy followed by the
administration in dealing with the
Philippines from the very beginning
of the present trouble in the East.
If there has been anything but de-
ception on the part of the Republi-
can leaders-always on the de(en-
sive in their discussion OF cam
paign issues the fact is not apparent
to a great many voters. There has
been systematic effort at evasion
of the questions at issue in Cuba, in
Porto Rico and in the Philippines,
in which Il rigid press censorship
has done much to blind the Ameri-
can people to what has taken place
thousands of miles away. Glib pro-
LESSONS of concern and talk of con-
siderations of "duty and humanity"
count for little i'm view of the main
tenance of large army assembled
for the purpose of Bringing a peo-
pie, who want nothing OF us, under
subsection. A popular war-if
there ever is such a thing-does not
call for the harangues of a horde of
orators in its defense, but the pres
ent operations in the East do seem
to put its promoters eternally on the
defensive. And there is no change
in this brutal policy of oppression
and deceit. 1t invites defeat, and
the verdict at the polls next Tuesday
should at least be one of disapproval
if it does not result in the overthrow
of those who appeal to the people in
its behalf.
