When Health Doesn't Count.

Science says now that kissing on
the lips must be abolished in the in
terests of health. Most potent, grave
and reverend seigniors, scholars and
philosophers, there are moments you
know nothing Of when man doesn't
care twopence for science, and when
he is going to plant kisses where they
belong if the laws of health are ripped
from one end TO the other.

John Burns and His 81. 500 a Year
When John Burns, England's labor
leader, became member of the Cabinet,
there came the question of his salary. A
year or so ago he made widely quoted
speech in which, in denouncing the extrav-
agance of the late government, he men
toned the officials salaries paid to its mem
bers, and said vehemently that no man
living was worth more than S., 800 year.
His salary is now $4,000 year. 1t was
not long before some unkind critic remind
ed him of the speech, and asked what he
intended to do about the extra $500
year. His answer was that he had never
been "scab," and that as he had joined
the government union, he was not going
to work for less than the union scale of
wages.

A PEEP INTO THE POLITICAL
HOROSCOPE.

Genuine democracy-Populism-has
risen from its tomb (f) and is being
rehabIlitated. Republicans and DEM
ocrats thinking the Peoples Party
dead have been stealing its shrond.
Hard to tell which of the old parties
will appear dressed mp in our old
clothes. Yaller-dog collars are a
drug on the political market.
Doubtful market for political fu-
lures. Bears on top now.
Bryan's influence and popularity
on the wane. In cities and town, in
Arkansas; Roosevelt could probably
beat Bryant, but the majority Of the
Red Necks, Hillbillies, One-gallused
are yet for anybody or anything that
is branded Democrat. State Off
GERS are not dwelling together in
unity. Farmers Unions numerous
and strong. So are labor unions.
These organizations are growing in
independence Of thought and action.
Great political changes probable.
