THE MOB SPIRIT.

The mob spirit manifests itself In
many ways. A mob lately tarred and
feathered woman at Shady Bend, in
Kansas, and mobs have burned men
at the stake, on the main streets Of
populous towns, but the mob spirit
may manifest itself without burning
men, or tarring and feathering wom-
en-. The mob spirit may manifest it
self in politics, and often does; it may
manifest itself in public sentiment,
and often does. Ten to one is a
mob, unless the man attacked has a
shotgun, and wall at his back. But
in many cases in politics, and mat
ters of public sentiment, there are
thousands to one, and the mob spirit
is as apparent, and brutal and unfair,
as it was in tie case at Shady Bend,
where a woman was tarred and featn-
cred. The most dastardly rioter IL
the man who throws missiies from the
roofs of houses, and then doGges out
of sight; the member Of the mob tight
ing in the street is more worthy than
the roof operator.
The men who believe only what they
see in yellow newspapers and maga-
zines and are moved only by yellow
political leaders, are roof throwers.
The Clean Up man is at your door;
let him in, sHG ok yourself over dBa-
didly and honestly. have looked my
self over, for have been startled by
this Los Angeles affair, and, 30 far
as am concerned, shall be careful
not to cheer in future unless l have
a very good reason. There has been
to much cheering lately for bad doc
trines and selfish leaders. Is there q
little guilt in the reform work you have
been doing? Have you been shooting
at the feet of business for the fun OF
seeing it dance?
Elihu Root once openly declared that
an editorial printed in reckless news
paper was responsible for the sssassi-
nation of William Mckinley. He
named not only the article. but the
newspaper, and was not sued for libel
for his utterance. This editorial was
simply foolish spasm Of abuse, to
amuse unthinking readers; the editor
q powerful bully, was shooting at the
presidents feet, that losfers might
enjoy the spectacle Of seeing noted
man dance. Mayor Gaynor Of New
York declared that an editorial in 9
yellow newspaper, caused half-crazy
fool to shoot him in the back.
Every man who encourages yellow
newspapers or magazines is more to
blame than the editors Of such publi-
cations; l have more sympathy for
the sober bartender than / have for
the drunkard who buys the liquor. II
may at least be said in excuse Of the
action o. the sober bartender that he
gets pay for his work, whereas the
drunkard buys ruin at an enormous
profit TO the seller.-Ed Howe.
