In some of the states representa-
tives have actually gotten up in the
legislative hall and introduced what
is termed an anti-kissing bill which
proposes to prohibit kissing in public
by man and his wife, sisters and
brothers or others. The freaks who
introduced these bills must have es-
capped over the back fence ont OF Kan
sas. But still worse feature in the
case is that there is a proposition on
foot to have such a bill introduced
in the next legislature of Missis-
sippi. Who will be the legislator to
introduce it? If be is candidate
and can be found spring this charge
against him and he will be the worst
defeated man who ever ran for office.
We think, however, the proposition
is inclined to be joke and no bill
will ever be introduced, not even by
request.

The state revenue agent has piled
up great piles of money in the state
treasury vaults from backtaxes and
much of this money is being paid ont
for a million dollar state house and
for other expenditures. Soon, these
vaults will become depleted and there
will be no money from back taxes to
fill them again. Then the state will
want money and there will be no
source from whence it is to come, and
then long and loud howl will be
heard in eevry part of the state and

The Richmond Times-Dispatch says
that lynchiong is decreasing all over

years before there will scarcely be
any of it left. 1t attribute this to
the fact that there are more legal

paying more attention to the criminal
