We are glad to note the manly and
heroic stand taken by organized labor
in defense of it's right to kiss. At New
castle, Pa, a man named Kissinger
kissed, as was most appropriate and to
be expected in view of his name, and
was promptly discharged by the man
who employed both the kisser and the
kissee. OF course organized labor de-
cided that it would not permit pluto
cratic dictation in the matter of kissing,
and the result is strike. Now all that
remains is to have it definitely settled
whether a mans right to kiss pretty
girl is to depend on the within of the en-
ployer or the pleasure of the girl.

A minister of Rankin county asserts

The white and colored population in

Money In Husbands.

Tho "n"w woman," as tho phrase
goes, is pushing her way into many
now folds Of industry, but Mrs
Truitt, Of st. Louis, unlest she is
much maligned, has discovered an
entirely now source Of revenuo.
Here is tho story rs tho wires bring
it:
st. Louis, Oct. 1.-~Accorting to
tho Post Dispatch John a. Truitt,
conductor on the Northern Central
electric street car line, was sold to-
day by his wife FOR 81, 900 to woman
who declares that sho loves tho man
more than his wiro docs.
The deal was tho sequel to tho
following remarkable statement made
to Mrs. Truitt by Mrs. Stophons,
who lives in this city with her
father:
"Mrs Truitt, I love your husband
and I want him. | havo travelled
the world over and ho is tho first
man ever loved | will give you
1000 cash for him if you will give
him up"
Truitt, who is the father Of four
children, seems to agree to the
deal
1t is stated that last Tuesday Mrs.
Truitt, knowing that hor husband
loved another, attempted to take her
life by swallowing morphine. But
on Friday sho adopted tho more
unique course Of converting him into
money and living to enjoy it, instead
of doing suclr conventional thing
as suiciding. Many women have
swallowed morphine. 1t is COM
monplace. But 80 far as the public
record goes Mrs. Truitt is the first
woman to turn her disloynl husband
into cash.
If this st. Louis episode should
become precedent it opoI up
a new road to fortune for women,
and places now value on husbands
II street car conductor sells for
$4,000, who shall namo the value of
n good husband in moro exalted
social stationY The matter is worth
looking into. In this era of the new
woman men will have Ito unite for
mutual protection.
In tho St. Louis case the husband
soems to be a willing party to tho
sale, but if this barter Of husbands
should become society fad, what
assurance has the fascinating hus-
band that he may not be sold to
somo very objectionable purchaser
simply because Of her ability, to pay
a high price. This is serious mat
tor, and mon should assert their
rights.
