A Break for Liberty
m the Cleveland Plain-Deaier.

From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
Nine years ago a Jerseyman Of ad-
vanced years arose from his dinner
table and stepped through the outer
door to see a man who had called and
asked for him. That was nine years
ago, and from the moment hs swung
the outer door behind him until his re-
appearance one day this month, the
Jarseyman's family did not set eyes on
him.
When he reappeared he at cnce
proved that he possessed some sense
of numor by remarking: 81 guess I'll
finish that dinner now" He had been
drifting all about the world, in Aus
talia, in South Africa, i'm other places
ha could not recall. In fact he had
but a hazy idea of how he spent those
years of wandering, and claims he can
give no explanation for his sudden de-
parture.
Perhaps the sociologists can find q
text in this strange flight that might
be elaborated into am interesting ser
mon. May it not be possible that ths
Jerseymans departure was the effect
of an uncomfortable impulse to break
the bends of the commonplace to mount
the wallis of dull domestic propriety
and to sl1urry across the open fields OF
untrammelled independence? 1t was
an impulse that grew like the forces G.
insuwection and crushed down tbs
loyal upholders OF monotonous de
corum, and drew the man away will
haste and a caution that defied pur
suit. And then, having had his fling
and his hours of personal liberty, h'

wards home to finish his dinner an'
take up again the full details Of hi

Kissing Not Hygienic


From the Baltimore Sun.
One may iSae about kissing but ao-
cording TO Health it is really d very
serious matter since there are potent
hygienic reasons why the practice
should be restricted" TO begin with,
Health notes the common abuse or

says our contemporary, 1.-The kiss has

affection; but who that sees the emu

each other. IN public and private, can
attach any value to the act, when ire
quently the parties have not a single
taste or sympathy in common, and, IN
many cases, positive dislike. IL is q
gross prostitution of a sacred act"
! There is nothing in this criticism
that can offend the real friends of the

Now that II has been established
pretty conclusively, that one cause Of
the coal shortage lies in a lack of cars,
there should be every effort employed
to minimize the evil. If the roads
would enter into an agreement to re-
turn at the earliest possible moment

their lines, and If a rigid rule were
made compelling all interested parties
10 unload coal cars within six hours
after they enter the yards, this prob
lem would be partly solved. Suppose
that from Philadelphia and Whining

WE SHALL sIcE

Premier Balfour announces that a

and Venezuela. and that there Is no
such thing as a peaceful blockade He
intimates that the United States Will
be allowed no rights not accorded by
other nations. He also stated that the
powers will soon be informed Of the
blockade There is reason for the be-
lief that the English and German
ships are in Venezuelan waters only
by reason Of an understanding with
the American authorities, and this
leads us to believe that the embargo
placed upon our commerce is not in
keeping with the spirit Of the original
understanding.
American ships are already on their
way 60 Venezuelan ports. and an at
tempt to deny them admittance will be
construed as an unfriendly act OF
course we shall not become involved in
any serious difficulty but we do not
believe our country will consent 20 be

State can be engaged in war with Q
foreign country without our interests

THE LITERARY WORLD

'erhe Kiss of Glory" by Grace DJf-
fe BOylan, is a very attractive book
that comes to our table from the press
of Boylan and Dillingham;. New York.
We think the least fortunate thing
about it is the title, which ccnv1ys
little of the simple, sweet story OF
Joseph and his brethren. JAS one FOL
lows the narrative he is impressed with
the absence of that clap-trap which is
often introduced in such stories 70
cause the appearance of reality. Ii
follows the Biblical story, and in style
is almost as simple as that narrative.
Yet il is remarkably convincing, and
leaves a very pleasant taste IN the
mouth The passages suggesting the
title are less forcefully treated than
the narrative of Joseph's wonderful
rise to power, and the use he made OF
il. There is much OF human interest
in the story, and in the telling the au-
thor has made the events seem con-
temporary. 1t is an especially appro-
pirate book for the Christmas season
and will no doubt figure in the lists oi
gifts that many are preparing.
