NO PERIL In KISSES,
. DOCTORS DECLARE
Journal Special Service.


Cincinnati, Oct. 12.-Not all Of Gin
cinnati's doctors agree with the declar-
alton Of Professor Fourier at the tn
berculosis convention in Paris, that
there is extreme risk in kissing.
"Before calling kissing criminal and
dangerous, said DR.. E. F. Beebe," one
should bear in mind that there are
many times more germs that are bene-
fetal than there are malignant ones.
Everything we touch. everything we eat
or drink is full Of germs. So who shall
say a kiss is more dangerous than any
thing else we ;do?'' :. -.
"a kiss in itself is not dangerous
declared DR.. Albert Faller, "unless one
of the kissers coughs in the other s. face
or there is some other violent exhalation
produced. There is no danger from the
mere moisture Of the lips. The dan
gerous germs come from the lungs and
bronchial tubes, Therefore, long kiss
is more dangerous than a short one -

Beck Says Evils Are Due to, Our
System Of Federated
Anarchy.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-"There is super.
vision of insurance more potent than
that of state or federal laws. It is
the supervision Of public opinion. OF
all institutions, the insurance company
most depends upon, public sentiment for
its very existence. IL
This was the opening sentence of an:
address today by James M. Beck of
New York, to the fire underwriters as
ISOLATION of the northwest, in session in
this city. -, .>-1- - :..-'
Must Be Perfected.
ma one pretends,'' he went on,
"that the present insurance system,
either in theory or practical administra-
ton, is incapable Of Improvement. It
was not perfect, it is not perfect, and
mind is progressive. The people in
their sober, second thought, will per-
ceive that many of the conceded evils
of the insurance system are due to con-
ditions for which the insurance conpa-
MES are not responsible.
"The New York investigation will be
of incalc liable value, if it brings the
American people to a full realization
of the system of federal anarchy under
which, SO far. as insurance is concerned,
we are living, and to which the worst
evils developed by the Investigating
COMMITTEES are primarily attributable.
No Brides to Help.
"Let those who complain of the large
sums expended by insurance companies
to defeat oppressive legislation, remem-
Der that the insurance companies rarely
spend dollar to secure favorable legis-
lation. They ask no appropriation,
they claim no right Of way. Let our
stern moralists visit their greatest con.
demnation' upon the legislative high
waymen who hold up these great bust,
ness interests and, above all. upon ar
Indifferent people who clothe these
highwaymen with the power to hold ur
their victims. -
Too Many Doctors. 49,.
"The insurance system is sick, but
too many doctors are crowding at the
bedside to give any prospect Of a full
recovery. For this intolerable condi
tion there is but one remedy, and that
is federal supervision. It would have
come long ago but for the doubt cast
by the courts upon the power of the
federal government to supervise inter
state transactions in insurance as {
species of interstate commerce. Recent
decisions of the supreme court unques
tlonably Indicate a tendency of tina
great tribunal to modify the narrower
doctrine Of earlier years as to the scope
of interstate commerce. - -.- =

st. Petersburg, May H.-Further
steps to limit the freedom of the press,
which already has been under the strict

government. The latest rule adopted
gives the Minister of the Interior the
right to suppress any newspaper. The
only stipulation made on the minister
is that be must inform the Senate of
any action of this kind taken against a
paper. BY means of this new ruling,
it will be possible for the government to
put out of circulation any paper that
dares to print accounts of disturbances
in different parts of the country, which
the government wishes suppressed, or
publish any articles derogatory to the
