Kissing is good thing, but we have
entirely too much of it here in America,
at least in public. 1t is sacred rite
that should not be performed before a
mixed audience. If man were part
ing from his wife, mother or sister for
weeks or months, he might be excused
for kissing them on the depot platform
or in the cars, but l should prefer to at
tend to that ceremony before leaving
the house. The sights and sounds on
every depot pla tform are enough to
give a sensitive person a severe attack
of nausea, l have no objection to wo-
men kissing each other on the street if
they enjoy the diversion, 1t is always
understood that they do not mean it.

which history informs us were once
enacted in the temples of Bacchus. A
woman cannot be too chary of her
kisses to the opposite sex. How a man
protesting to be gentleman can wed a
woman whom he knows has been
mouthed and mum bled by others is be-
yond my comprehension. Indiscrimi-

vice as woman can possibly be guilty

ALBANY, n. V, Sept. 2G.-State Labor
Commissioner Charles +. Peck and his
stenographer, Rogers, appeared in the
court of sessions, Saturday, in answer
to bench warrants. The sealed indict-
ments in possession of the court were
then opened, and found to be against
Peck and his stenographer charging
them with destroying public docu-
ments.
Peck waived examination and through
his counsel asked the postponement.
The court granted the application and
admitted both men to bail in the sum
of So 900 each. The sureties We're the
same in the police court case, Messrs,
Cowell and Annesley each qualifying in
the sum of 81, 900.
Peck declines to say anything for pub
lication, but seemed 10 be in the best OF
humor and not at all anxious over the
result of the inquiry. All three of the
cases-one in the police court, one in the
supreme court and one in the criminal
court--will come up next week. 1t is
still asserted by the attaches of the
bureau that Peck will be able to pro
duce every paper called for when the
trials come off.
