Each year. It would seem. the great

nominations grow In interest fol; the
layman. This is not TO say that any
religious assembly can ever fall Of
social Significance or can ever fail to
disclose u the Thoughtful mind pro.
found bearing upon worldly affairs.
But II is hardly 70 ~ denied that
the Will Is increasingly manifest In the
churches of America to make
righteousness prevail Ia the AFFAIRS Of
man through the exercise Of the
schnrch's influence upon public lie,
upon slegislation. upon social forms,
and upon institutions With the moro
and more definite and practical com.

call reform" the layman must attend
more earnestly to the ct
which each church formulates its pur.
pose. The utterances OF the churches
on such public questions as child lab.
or, ON working conditions. for women

only the 6esipnings Of force which

In bis notification speech the Repub-
licans candidate, speaking Of the election
OF Senators by the people. says: Person

hardly party question What is neces-
sayr to make this party question? When
the Democratic convention indorses q
proposition by a unanimous vote, and the
Republican convention rejects the propo-
sition by vote of seven to one, does 1t
not become an issue between the parties7
Mr.. Taft can not remove the question
from the arena Of politics by expressing
a personal inclination toward the Demo
cratic position. For several years he has
been connected with the administratlo
What has he ever said or done to bring
this question before the public7 What en-.
'thusiasm has he shown In the reformation
Of the Senate? What influence could he
exert In behalf Of reform which his
party has openly and VIGOROUSLY con-
demncd in its convention, and to which
he Is attached only by belated express
sion OF personal inclination? ~
1.-THE third instrumentality employed to
defeat the will Of the people is found In
the rules Of the House Of Representatives.
The reform Republicans in the House
Of Representatives, when In the minority
In their own party, are a. helpless to
obtain hearing or to secure q vote upon
: measure as are the Democrats. In the
recent session Of the present Congress
there was considerable element in the
Republican party favorable to remedial leg
islation; but a few leaders In control Of
the organization despotically suppressed
these members, and thus forced a real
majority In the House to submit to d
welforganixed minority. The Republican
national convention, instead of rebuking
this attack upon popular government,
eulogized Congress and nominated as the
Republican candidate for Vice President
one Of the men who shared In the respon-
sibiifty for the coercion OF the House.

mitted larceny BY law and purchased
Immunity with their political influence to
attempt to raise false issues, and to en-
ploy the livery OF Heaven to conceal

1t is common every now and then to
read an account Iii some newspaper OF
one Of the subscribers bringing in an
extraordinary large egg Into the Office
of the editor, and the aforesaid editor
at once heralds the news as though 1t
was Of great public Importance. Such
eggs are important to the poultryman,
inasmuch as they are danger signals.
They tell Of an unhealthy condition Of
the hen that laid them. No strong,
healthy hen will lay either double
yolked egg, round egg, badly
shaped egg or soft-shelled egg. Some
thing is wrong with the hen that lays
anything different than regular
shaped egg. Instead Of rejoicing at
these extra large eggs. there should
be cause of regret. At once the mat
ter should be investigated and the gen,
eral condition Of the flock should be
looked Into II 1t is found that they
all or the majority Of them, are heavy,
IT Is well to cut down the quantity of
the carbonaceous or starchy foods and
Increase the nitrogen material.

Origin of Kissing and Encores.

From the Show World
 Kissing in playhouses had it's origin in Paris in 1880 on the occasion of the pre- sentation of Fontennelles tragedy, Aspar Prior to that time, suffering audiences were wont to yawn audibly and fall asleep when the apathy of the actors and performances justified that course. But On this occasion the indignant audienca, driven to desperation by the platitudes of Aspar, voiced their anger by misses which drove the actors into temporary retirement, according to the testimony of the poet Roi, who alludes to the incident in his Brevet de la Calotte. Kissing thereafter became fashionable.
 The first encore noted in the annals of the stage was accorded to Livius Andro- nicus, a Roman actor. He was popular with the masses and was called back SO often to repeat his speeches that he. in selfdefense, brought boy to declaim for him. while he himself applied the ges- lures. While encores became the rage in subsequent ages, 1t Is known that An dronicus' plan of haling an understudy before him before the audience to share his honors, has not generally been adopt ed by thespians.
