The St. Louis Republic, the highest Democratic authority in the state, says of the Democrat ic police force and the Demo cratic primaries: "The story is one of outrage and infamy out rage completely thwarting priv ate right and personal liberty; infamy loading the police authorities with disgrace. With personal liberty at an end, and free suffrage lost in St Louis, the state is in the greatest dan- ger. The riot of misrule and disorder carries III delegates into each state convention to misrepresent St. Louis and mis- lead the state Democracy. It remains to be seen whether the Democracy of Missouri is willing to confirm this domination of rowdies and ruffians."

Legislation on Kissing.

A kissing certificate may be one of the luxuries of life if a certain American doctor has his way.

The bill has a clause forbidding such
 health certificates being given to people with weak hearts, as this is declared an obstacle to the emotion aroused by kissing.

of construction. Mitchell claims that
for his services as superintendent and
general manager he was to receive the
