clan. Their chivalric Journeys consist
in riding the lodge "goat" or going on
strike at the behest of some boss or
walking delegate. The kiss hath no
part in such doings, no more than hath
"ladye faire," and the kiss chaste ana
comely, given by cherry lips to the
victor in this strife would be scorned as
worthless beside the iron dollar or the
chance to graft" So miserly are the
times we are fallen upon, indeed!
How very refreshing, then, to stumble
upon a real bit of old-time chivalry in
these work-a-day regions of ours! How
gratifying to find a hero worthy of a
troubabour's song, cen in the garb of
the genus hobo! How delightful to
record the fact that he proved quite
equal to all demands in rescuing the
damsel in deep distress, and far ahead
of the miserable, grasping youth of to-
! day in claiming as his due reward, not
the proffered gold of commerce, though
dire his need therefor, but the smiling
salute of the glowing, grateful lips of
the girl he had just saved!
| And how very good to be able to state
that she. the "ladye faire,' was a true
American girl and game; that she re-
sponded to his demand in kind, and
smacked him heartily on the audacious
mouth that had so nervily claimed of
her the highest compensation man
might ashland yet twas indubitably
his due!
The wires tell the story. 1t is re-
ported that Miss Blanche Farley, a
member of Philadelphia's aristocracy,
was rescued in a runaway by typical
American tramp, dirty, begrimed and
ragged" as tramps usually be. She
proffered coin of the republic. May,
lady," quoth he, with low bow, lifting
his rim of hat; mo common gold for
me. But one kiss from you would be
far greater reward than all the wealth
/ of Ind" And she, being dead game, u
| it is recorded, "clutched his blushing
cheeks with her tiny, bejeweled hands,
and smacked him squarely on the lips
with a great big juicy kiss" Oh ye
gods! And the tramp has since re-
fused to perform any morning ablu-
tions lest he lave away that honeyed
memory!
oh, days of ancient chivalry, you have returned
! again.
When maids were most adorable, and men
! were truly men
oh, days of knightly errantry, when highest
hopes of bliss
Were cudded in a gallant deed, rewarded
! with a kiss!
All glory to this hobo bold, but not for what
he done
Full many maid has rescued been from horses
| that have run
But glory to the tramp because, with vim and
might and verve,

CONTINUOUS AGITATION THREATENED

The recognized exponent of the no-saloon move
ment, the Evening Express practically declares that
business and property interests of Los Angeles
are not worth considering comparison with the issue
in the present crusade
1t admits that business is in small degree affected
by the no-saloon agitation the situation is pre-
sented in nearly presidential state city cleo
tion; voters minds filled with the issues involved
in the election and the ordinary business the COM
munity is or less disturbed during the discussion
of these issues"
But notwithstanding this injurious effect upon bust
ness the Express declares the mouthpiece of the
nosaoon movement that there will be letup in the
agitation in the nosaoon ordinance is defeated in
the election 1t gives direct notice that if the aga.
ton under way does not result in the closing of
every saloon in Los Angeles at this time 1t will be
renewed again and again." etc.
What do the considerate people of Los Angeles
think of that threat? It substantially says this to the
voters of this city: Follow lead in the nosaIoon
crusade will keep Los Angeles in a state Of per
petual agitation, matter how injurious to its mate
rial interests.
That declaration by the Express accords exactly
with the opinion expressed by The Herald an early
stage of the movement That is to say the few profess
sional agitators who leading the movement care
nothing for the general interests of the community
Prohibition is the leading factor in their agitation
repertory but they can readily adapt their peculiar
gifts to any other emotional line
Thousands of citizens who have only the best in
teress of Los Angeles at heart are supporting the
saloon movement is their honest conviction that the
best interests Of the city would be subserved by elm
mating the saloons The Herald hopes that every
of that class will go the polls and vote he thinks
for the no-saloon ordinance
But The Herald does not believe that any considera-
BILE number of the people of this city ndorse the
threat that the present agitation will be kept up
ceasngly, regardless of its harmful effects in the
no-saloon movement fails at the polls.
The people of Los Angeles sane, clear headed
and always mindful of the public welfare They will
vote as their judgment directs in the nosaloon issue
but only very small fraction of them will join the
Express in the threat OF everlasting agitation

The Kiss as a Reward

The kiss has always been regarded as
the supreme expression of human emo
ton. Between lovers it is the acme Of
bliss; the apotheosis of alteration; the
subject of novelists' raptures and poets
passion.
A mothers kiss is the tenderest out
burst of supreme affection The kiss Of
strong man is so unusual that it can
be regarded only as the spontaneous
expression of feeling impossible to con-
troll. The child's kiss is natural, free,
unaffected; the normal, proper mani
festation of it's gleeful regard. The sub
iect kisses his sovereign's hand as a
token of his respectful regard and the
worshiper touches his lips to the holy
relics as an act of deepest veneration.
Per contra, as are all other good
things, the kiss is subject to abuse The
salute of Judas has earned the re-
probation of ages. and is still quoted as
the most despicable of all acts. The
kiss feminine that catlike greeting be-
tween two hating old sage-hens, has
been stock implement in the joke
foundry for 10 these many years. This
osculatory performances of the head Of
the house and the pretty maid servant
have afforded plots for many novels,
farces and tragedies, in both real and
mimic life
But in oden days there was another,
and the most valued of all-the kiss
chivalric-the chaste salute won by the
knight errant from the lips of his
"ladye faire." She was often a woman
wed, whose regard he could hold but in
platonic wise, yet for whose favor he
courted danger, aye, death, in tourney
and afar a-field. A token from her he
wore upon his helm and the thought of
her inspired his arm to valor and held
his lance in adamantine rest. This was
the kiss sung in skald and saga by the
troubadour and the minstrel in the
days of gallantry, and was the purest,
the most valued and the most disin-
terested of them all.
Alas, in these days of grasping mon
opoly and grinding toll, of millionaires
and graft and combination and trust,
there is little room for "the boast of
heraldry, the pomp of power" knight
errantry and gallantry, and still less
for the kiss that encouraged to glorious
deed and was it's sole and coveted re-
ward. The knights of today ave

A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG

Secretary Taft said yesterday that the vessels IL
purchased would fly the flag of the nation in which the
purchase made and not the Stars and Stripes"
That statement, reported from Washington,
lates to situation of deep the leaders of
the Republican party. It involves not only questions of
consequence in the building of the Panama canal
but also chips the chief Republican cornerstone. 1t
hits the sacred high protective tariff that all orthodox
Republicans worship and hits it hard
The act under which construction of the canal has
been undertaken gives the president almost unlimited
in control of the work. only stipuatng that the
cost be kept down to the minimum consistent with
good work.
Secretary Taft is the presidents right bower in the
canal game. The secretary, in conformity with the
general plan agreed upon with the president, has de-
cared his purpose to buy all supplies for canal
struction where they may be obtained most advan-
tageousy The quotation the beginning of this arti-
Gle is from his most expression that point.
He will buy abroad such vessels may be needed if
he get them much cheaper than at home although
that would necessitate operating them under their
flags All other supplies he purposes buying where he
get them cheapest
Just there is where the knk in the Republican party
The high tariff stand-patters declare that it
would be monsrous for the United States to operate
vessels flying foreign flags Far better they contend,
to pay much higher prices for American craft Therein
they speak for the ship trust and the subsidy grabbers
They declare that it would be monstrous also for the
United States to buy machinery and other requirements
for the canal in foreign countries, and they demand
that all supplies shall be purchased in this country
regardless of price And therein they speak for the
steel trust ct i'd omne genus.
What glarng spectacle of results arising from
the high tariff is presented in this dilemma of the Re-
publican party Note the points of the situation. The
protective tariff has been pushed to high notcthe
highest record-that all sorts of supplies for the
Panama canal can be purchased much more cheaply
abroad than at home. And comes back the BOOM
erang of the high tariff policy in the governments
nouncement that it cannot afford to buy the highly
protected" home products.
The Republican tariff is forcing the Republican adj
minstraton to go abroad for supplies that are not
quoted at high tariff prices.
Now we are told from Washington that some mem
bers of the cabinet have taken occasion
with the president against carrying out the policy
nounced by Secretary Taft 1t is not only the interest
of the corporations that the Republican leaders have in
mind, however. The interest of the party, which al
ways paramount stands forth in this forecast of
of the leaders, IF this policy of buying abroad is
ried out, God help in the next election campaign
1t begins to look if the Republican party by It's
policy of initiating the tariff to the extreme limit might
be hoist by its peta-d."
