The Growth of the Mob Spirit

The prevalence of violence, and the growth of the mob spirit in the United States is so marked as to have become a distinct element among the signs of the times which show that as the days of Noah were, when “the earth was filled with violence,” so are these days. There is the violence of the strikes, the violence of race conflicts, and the violence of religious intolerance. And in the violence of the strikes and the religious intolerance, women are showing themselves as savage as men. And the police and authorities almost invariably sympathize with the rioters.
