Wealth properly gained and distributed

Oshkosh Northwestern.
According to a Kansas City dispatch
there was a very lively session at the
national convention of homeopathic
physicians in that city recently. 1t
seems that a movement was started to
raise a fund for the purpose Of adj
vancing homeopathy, the person in
charge of this movement being Dr.
Hamilton Fisk Biggar, John d. Rookie
fellers private physician. DR.. Biggar
started the ball rolling by subscribing
500 to the fund and then he made the
women delegates sit up and take notice
by announcing that respectfully and
cheerfully from the bottom of his
heart, he would kiss the first woman
who gave the same amount The au-
dience was composed quite largely Of
women, and after a few moments
hesitation one Of them broke the ice by
contributing the desired amount and
taking her pay according to DR.. Big
CARS offer Others followed her eX-
ample until the elderly DR.. Biggar
was kept literally ON the jump to
distribute his rewards. Even when one
woman pledged 500 for a group known
as the "Women's Fraternity" DR..
Biggar cheerfully stuck to his original
agreement by offering to kiss every
member of the fraternity present. And
it is stated that in a very short time
the fund had grown TO $1,000.
Cases have been previously recorded
where women engaged in soliciting
movements have pledged kisses to en-
courage the generosity OF male contri-
butors, but SO far as we remember this
is the first instance whore the order
has been reversed The plan seems to
have been quite successful, however,
and as success is the measure of merit
in the estimation of great many peo-
pie, one cannot crticise ON this score.

SHakESPEARE'S TOMB.

It's Would Be Desecrators anu wv
Poets Imprecation.
The fact that would be decorators OF
Shakespeare tomb have not dared 70
risk the falling of the curse invoked In
the lines cur upon his tomb is a strik-
ing testimony TO the powerful effect
upon mankind of such an imprecatlon.
j. O. Hanlwen-Phlllipps, writing in
the eighties. said:
"The nearest approach to an eXcava-
ton in the grave of Shakespeare was
made IN the summer of the year 1916
In digging o vault in the Immediate 10
callty, when an opening appeared
which was presumed to Indicate the
commencement of the site OF the Dards
remains TIE most scrupulous care
however was taken not to disturb the
neighboring earth in the slightest de-
gree, the cler. having been placed
there till the brickwork Of the adjoin-
ing vault was completed to prevent
any one making an examination, NO
relics whatever were visible through
the small Qreuing that thus presented
itself, and as the poet was buried In
the ground, not in vault, the great
probability is that dust alone remains.
1t is not many years since a phalanx
Of trouble tombs, lanterns and spades
in hand. assembled in the chancel at
dead of night, intent on disobeying the
solemn Injunction that the bones of
Shakespeare were not to be disturbed.
But the supplicatory lines prevailed.
There were some among the number
who at the last moment refused 10 in
cur the warning condemnation. and 50
the design was happily abandoned"
A espoudeut OF the London Athe-
nacum wrote IN 1881: Il remember on
visit to The grave OF Shakespeare in
1927 or ISIS remar&mg that it was lit

through the hole formed by the sinking
Of the stones. The reply WAS that on
account Of the anathema Inscribed upon
the tomb 10 worimcn could be per-
suaded to meddle with it,"
An earlier incident is thus set forth
by a contributor to the Monthly Mag
Gzine Of Feb. /. ISIS:
Notwithstanding the anathema pro-
nouuced by the bard ON any diaturber
of his bones, the church wardeus were
so negligent few years ago as to
suffer the sexton in digging the adj
joining grave of Dr. Davenport to
break Il large cavity mo the tomb of
Shakespeare. Mr.. -- told the writer
that he was excited by curiosity to
push his head and shoulders through
the cavity, that lie saw the re.Aains OF

OKLAHOMA seems destined to be the
bank state Of the South, unless the ma
tional government or other states act
quickly. Since she has provided for
state insurance Of bank deposits, the
people Of Kansas and other surrounding
states have been withdrawing their
money from their local banks and de-
posting it in tn state insured banks Of
Oklahoma. Does this not mean that,
ultimately, the surrounding states will
be forced to adopt the insurance plan? 1t

issue. The plank in question has to do
with the defining or limiting of the
power of the federal courts TO issue
writs of injunction. The President, as
is well known, has repeatedly asked
Congress to pass an act that would pre-
vent the undue and arbitrary use of the
power of injunction, while not in any
way imparing the normal authority Of
the courts. The plank as it stood in
the original draft of the platform was
mild one which good lawyers and
Judges declared was in no way objec-
tionable. But the so-called "conserva-
tives" in the convention had been in
structed to the effect that the judiciary
of America is so sacred a thing that it
is not only never to be criticised,
but that it is even REASONABLE to sug-
gest notifications of rules of court pro-
cedure. The demand for some regua-
ton of the use Of injunctions comes al
most wholly from the leaders of organ
lied labor We should not have heard
of any objection to the Presidents pro-
posal for better regulation of the
methods Of procedure in the issuance
Of injunction writs but for the intensely
bitter and persistent work of an impor-
tant organization of manufacturers
which had undertaken to exterminate
organized labor altogether. The Presi-
dents position was the moderate, Just,
and fair one as between the contending
interests. Every kind of pressure was
used to secure his consent, and Mr..
Taft's to the dropping of the subject
from the platform. But they refused
to yield. The plank as accepted by him
did not go nearly as far as the labor
men would have wished, yet they
would doubtless have accepted it under
the circumstances The Manufacturers
association was determined that the
platform should contain no illusion
whatever to the subject. Neither Of
these two parties in interest belonged
to the one great political organization
or to the other; and the convention
should not have permitted them to force
the injunction question into undue
prominence. A compromise was finally
agreed upon and accepted by the plat
form committee, the administration
leaders at Washington, and the conven-
ton itself The plank relating to this
subject as adopted reads as follows:
THE Republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and integrity
of the courts state and federal, and
will ever insist that their powers to en-
force their process, and to protect life
liberty and property, shall be preserved
inviolate. We believe, however, that
the rules of procedure in the federal
courts with respect to the issuance Of
the writ Of injunction should be more
accurately defined by statute, and that
no injunction or temporary restraining
order should be issued without notice,
except where irreparable injury would
result from delay. in which case a
speedy hearing thereafter should be
granted. ~ From 1.-The Progress of
the World, in the American Review
