WORDS THAT BURN.

A most remarkable editorial ap-
peared in last Fridays, issue OF
the New York Sun, which has
been a Republican paper since
1898. It ardently supported the
candidacy OF Theodore Roosevelt
for president in 1904. which makes
It's present denunciations of the
president all the more remarkable.
The title OF the editorial in ques-
ton is, s1Ihe Passing of the Panic
and Of the Occasion of IT, being
nearly a column long, double head
cd and used as the leader to
give emphasis to that papers
present opinion of the president.
From the editorial we extract such
Expressions as the following:
"Of Mr.. Roosevelt's proficiency
in the arts of the politician, In
the worst significance of that
word. he has left us no room
for doubt. A more conscienceless
or more reckless demagogue never
ti1lS y.
"Even in time OF overflowing
national prosperity. even i'm time
trihuted md shared than ever
before in the history OF this or
any other country. 1t was posi-
BILE for Mr.. Roosevelt to achieve
a disaster that ordinarily could
ensue only in time of great public
depression, disappointment and
common misrortune.'
"He had not the slightest ap.
prehension Of what he was doing
No ray of business intelligence
ever entered his brain or ever can
enter his brain''
"What did he care for a Wall
street panic? A mere disturbance
lamong gamblers and stockholders
After pulling down the house he
wonders what made 1t fall.v
"'rhe national sense of recupera.
tion is founded in the conviction
that Mr.. Roosevelt has accomplished
his self-mposed mission and that
he is functus officio. His message
filled with warmed over aspirations
and shopworn alarums has beer
received with Indifference and
contempt and dismissed as the
1ucubrations of mind unhinged
His homilies and his fulminations
are no longer of concern and
! neither his recent pretension tc
future Office nor the sublime ant
dramatic remuneration that he pom
ders excites any emotion.''

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
Its Earliest Form-The Carcss of the
Ancient Indians.

At a recent session of the American
Oriental Society Prof. Hopkins of Yale
read Il paper on The sniff Kiss in An
Gent India" Reduced to its founda-
ton, the paper was a history Of the kiss
as we know it. The learned Orientalist
traced it from its birth and proved that
the earliest peoples and earliest times
knew it not That there might be no
mistake he labelled the kiss Of to-day
1.-THE genuine kiss" and "the perfect
kiss"
Oddly enough he finds that the genu-
description is given in the epic of an
cent India which treats of the science
of love-
she laid her mouth on my mouth"
rccites the poet, land made noise
which gave me pleasure"
The early peoples" declared Prof.
Hopkins, knew nothing of the kiss in
any form. Had they known of it they
would have told something Of it in the
mass Of records that has come down to
such pleasure could not have been for
gotten.
Even to this day there are races
that do not kiss. The Mongolians and
certain OF the tribes in central Asia
do not osculate, and the ESquimaux, we
are told, employ the kiss only as
prophylactic.
The earliest form of the kiss is
that which we know as the sniff kiss.
This is a smelling, usually Of the head.
The father of Il newborn son suited
his head that his days might be long
and that honors might come to him.
Returning from a journey he shifted
the heads of his children in the same
manner
"Gradually with this sniff kiss there
came also a caress, touching usually
of the head. Gradually, also, the en-
dearment came to be applied to others
than children. The rubbing of noses,
which has persisted in some tribes, was
probably an intermediate process in the
evolution.

Gardner Of Michigan were the chief
speakers. Wilson spoke on "Agricul-

part:
agriculture is creative force
among our industries. The result Of
the farmers work of 1906 was $6,794,-
100000, an increase of Al per cent over
the last census year. We exported in
1906 S1,71S,00O,000 worth of goods of
all kinds, and of this - per cent was
grown from farms and forests Ami
mails and their products yielded 1928
100000, or 10 per cent, for export af-
ter supplying the home demand. Cot
ton and cotton products exported were
S4Sl 100000, or % per cent; grain and
products sold abroad were $4,000
600, or 1l.5 per cent and $113,000,000,
or 65 per cent, was miscellaneous farm
products.
Forest products are 10 per cent Of
our exports. We use tobacco extensive
