oumNock ON KISSING.


D ROFEssOR ROBERT L CUM
l mock. who occupies the chair Of
elocuuon in Northwestern university
near chicago. is a brute. Those who
don't believe he's a brute viii revise
their opinion when they hear the tesu-
mony Of the students who are TO take
part in a play entitled What Became
of Parker" The professor says there
must be no kissing in the play. none
whatever. Further. there must be no
drinking. smoking or swearing.
The last mentioned eliminatons'
however. are unmportant as compared
with the first. For months the stu
dents have been working on their
parts. Incidentally they have enjoyed
the bliss Of OSCILLATION. even did it come
in the line Of duty That is, the men
have enjoyed it and no complaint has
been made by the young women Now,
when the time for presentation draws
near and public smacks that would
drive the male portion of the audience
iutO envious ecstacies seem sure, Cen
scr Cumnock puts down his foot.
Out upon such man! He declares
that kissing is unnatural. For shame,
professor! kissing is the most natural
thing in the world Didn't the queen
of sheba say: Kiss me with the kisses
of thy mouth?" It is true Shakespeare
made poor Pyramus kiss Thisbe
through the hole of a vile wall, so that
It kiss the walls hole, not your lip~
at ALL" but the bard OF Avon also
makes one of his characters say:
Sweetheart. 1 were unmannerly to
take you out and not to kiss you
If the purpose of the stage is to
present life as it really is. somebody
ought to be kissed in every play pre-
scented. Unnatural, indeed; it is the
most ma tnraI performance in the world
when the girl is willing. If Professor
Cumnock had put his objection on the
ground of microbe transmission OF
some other absurd scientific foundation
it might have been possible to bear
with him in patience.
AS the matter stands. however, The
Herald can only feel sorry for him. L
/ he isn't careful he'll be surrounded
! some dark night by mob of good-
/ looking girl students and kissed into
a reasonable frame Of mind. But may
be that's exactly what the censor is
making a bid for

DISEASE AND QUARANTINE.

HEALTH OFFICER KINGS FigOr-
II ous language on the subject o.
quarantine breaking and filth IS en-
titled TO thoughtful consideration from
every citizen of salt Lake. Dr.. King
believes. and he has excellent reasons
f5r believing. that many of the physi-
clans of the city encourage residents
OF homes where contagious diseases
exist. 10 evade the quarantine when
the health department tries to enforce
He points out that people who have
been exposed to such diseases are al
lowed to get away before the rag IS
Put I'm place, and so carry the contagion
TO others.
Another fruitful source of scar.et
fever and diDhtheria. which are Just
now raging to an unprecedented extent
Is the filth which has been allowed to
accumulate around many Of the resi-
dences. Salt Lakers are altogether too
careless about the sanitary condition OF
their premises. They allow garbage and
pt.trid matter TO accumulate for days
and then they wonder why members
OF their families have scarlet fever
ard diDhthefIa.
The time has come when a cleansing
campaign that viii reach every ward
and avery district Of the city must be
inaugurated. The total number of
scarlet fever cases is growing weekly
So Ear the death rate has been won
derfuHy low. but. nevertheless. many
Children have died from it. no man
can tell how soon the type Of the dis
ease viii become more virUIent. It is
impossible to say how many fatal cases
can be contracted from one so mild
that It is hardly necessary for the pa
tient to go to bed.
There lies one of the greatest dan
gers. 1t is difficult TO H. a penalty
severe enough for the individual! who,
because the case in his family happens
TO be light. fails to obey every quar-
antine regulation. So far as it can
the health department is prosecuting
the quarantine breakers. but its powers
IN this line are limited. For fear OF
tsrting ueighhoThood disturbances
men shut their eyes to deliberate viola

MCCORMICK FOR SECRETARY.

THE SELECTION of W. s McCor-
nick for the post of secretary of
the interior, which, report says, Mr..
Hitchcock is soon 20 vacate, would be
a recognition by the president of the
vests ability 10 produce strong men.
All the great expanse Of the United
States which lies west of the Missouri
river is today unrepfesented in the
cabinet. II is entitled to such reCog-
milton. and AIR. McCornicks selection
would meet= 8, 'th unqualified approval.
The duties of the secretary. Of the
interior are almost altogether in con
nection vt.h the west, or that part OF
It lying between the Missouri river and
the Pacific ocean. It IS here that the
public lands are still open to entry; it
is here that the Indians and their af-
fairs must be attended to: it is here
that the Industry Of mining is most
prominent Western men know the sit
uation far better than eastern men
could know it.
They are better acquainted with land
values. with the Importance Of mining,
the needs Of the Indians and such 9th

tional opportunities to become familiar

for the president 10 make better
choice, and il Mr. Mccormick could bs

there is no doubt but that his record
would be one of which his people and

\ crowded house witnessed the white
Slave" at the Grand last night. and LETT
the theatre satisfied that il is q good
thing to see a play once in while, or
this type especially when rendered by
competent PLAYERS. which is certainly the
case in the present instance. THE White
Slave is one of the good old-fasnioned
plays that leave pleasant taste III the
mouth and, though containing number
OF strictly modern and striking scenic
effects. all of which tend to the general
effect it still retains enough Of the at
mOsphere of the ante-bellum days to car
" one back TO the time of Uncle Tom.
Miss Ruth McCauly as Lisa, the write
slave. stands out prominently IN the
cast. Miss McCaulV endured all kinds or
abuse more than her share, in fact. and
came uD smiling in the last act, just as
sweet as ever. Jennie Christie as Martha,
a heavyweight slave, Constance Hambnn
as Mrs. Harriet Lee. another heavy one,
Louise Hawthorne. as Lefty Lee. ner
daughter and LuduSki Young as the
GuadrO0n hOuSekeeDer. were all excellent,
and fitted into their parts as though made
for them. while the Daphne Of Kate
Campbell was the real thing. and prom
ised TO be fine business until a bullet from
the gun of the brutal slave driver cut
short her career
David NJ Hartford as Clay Britton- the
brave but foolish lover, was very hand
come and very seriOus-in fact he smiles
bat once during the evening. William
Lacy. who deals in horses, niggers and
such was portrayed by J. Hay Cossar and
was properly hated and Kissed by the
gallery. And Frank \. Drew, who holds
I'D the comedy end as Stitch. the lawyer,
is certainly funny. There are @ number
of minor parts including 2 coloTed quar-
tette. The company is billed TIL " ed
