A mob is at oncH the most help
less and desperate thing in the
world and when by the arts of the
demagogue and the liar the people
of this nation become converted
into a mob, there. is no telling
what they will do at the ballot box.
If Colonel Roosevelt has no

disordered brain; but with the
cunning of maniac he knows how

two weeks.
We do not know, of course, what
is in store for our country. When
the government was framed, the
outside world looked on with awe
and admiration. Ever since the
poor of the earth have turned
toward the flag of hope and with
the belief that out of our institu-
tions greater liberties would be
vouchsafed to men. Now Colonel
Roosevelt, after having received
nuequalled honors from his country,
is in the delirium of his contest,
assailing not only those in power.
but assailing the institutions which
have made so much for the world,
and demands that they be over
hauled and the government started
on new plan.
When the war of the rebellion
was fought through, when one
awful cloud after another lifted
and fioated away. until victory
shone out from under the battle
canopy, then thoughtful men said
that the great Creator as watching
over our country and was holding
our Republic in its orbit as steady
as He holds His own stars. And
it looked that way. Many an
event of the war looked as though
it was caused by a direct inter-
position of Providence. The first
most striking one was the result
of the battle of PittsburR Land
ing. Had Grants army been des-
troyed that day it is possible that
the government would have
treated for peace and that our
country would have been rent
asunder. Then when the news
Of Vicksbrg and Gettysbrg came to

THREE MEN EXCUSED
FROM SCR|MMACE
Georgetown Stars Given a
Rest Before Big Game
With Indians.

The Georgetown foot ball team had its
final scrimmage yesterday afternoon in
preparation for the game with the In
dams Saturday. Moriarty, Dunn and
Rheinchild were excused from the scrim-
mage on account of injuries, but this
will by no means keep the men out Of
the game Saturday. 1t seems that Mo-
riarty injured his knee in the scrimma &c
Tuesday. and it gave him a great deal
of pain all day yesterday, so that the
coaches decided that 1t was best to rest
him up for the big game, because it is
too late now to take any chances with
the cripples.
1t is doubtful if the Blue and Gray was
ever represented by any stronger line
than the one which will be on the field
Saturday. From the manner in which
Coach Dennis worked with the line yester-
day it is evident that he intends to use
Petritz in the contest at center Satur-
day. Petritz has been showing I'D very
we'll on the scrub eleven all during the
past week. and he is entitled to a trial
at center Saturday, which he is certain
to receive. Coach Dennis spent a great
deal of time with this youngster yester-
day. and seems to think that he will be
able to deliver the goods at this impor-
tant position. Dennis depends upon the
center man a great deal, because he has
