Why Preacher Kisses Bride

The nuptial kiss, with a meaning
akin to that of the kiss Of peace
had its origin in a most serious and
practical church ceremony known as
the Espousals. Among mediaeyal
people, as among some classes of
Jews today, it was customary for
the bridegroom and bride to meet
before witnesses in the church some
days or even weeks before the mar
riage and there make pledge of
future union, and at such times a
ring was usually presented by the
prospective husband. Sometimes,
however, the man wasatoo poor to
buy the ornament, and, instead, pre-
sented a kiss, which was doubtless
more pleasant and was considered a
binding pledge before man and God
The custom of allowing the
preacher to take a kiss along with
his fee had very different begin
ming. In early Catholic days, after
the wedding refreshments had been
served, the priest always came for
ward and gave the husband-think
of it!--the kiss Of peace, and that
gentleman passed it on to his wife,
while, at the same time, the priest S
assistant kissed the best man, who
passed it on to the other guests.
No wonder the clergyman had an
assistant! AS time passed the preach
er doubtless came TO the conclusion
that the peace kiss should be placed
nearer the source of disturbance,
and thus the wife came to receive
the gift direct.

Through an error in printing the
ballots, new ones had to be printed
for the local option election. The
fact of an error appearing in the
first ballots was an opening quickly
taken up by Orator Jones, the pro-
hibitionist, in his harangue at the
park Sunday afternoon. He i'm
mediately saw conspiracy to in
validate the election and laid the
blame either on the printing office,
the board of supervisors or the
clerk. His mind was not quite clear
in the matter. but he believed it
was conspiracy alright. What a
wonderful Sherlock Holmes Wiley
would make.

references that there is a wide
divergence of opinion even among
the authorities as to the origin of
our name. Colonel J. H. McClin-
took, an historian of no mean ability
himself, inclines to the theory that
the word Arizona" as applied to
this part of the Southwest originally
meant Arid Zone" and he points
out that the difference in spelling is
of no consequence, inasmuch as our
forbears knew little of syntax, gram
mar or spelling, as evidence Chaucer,
whose system is still the bogie of all

Who VIII succeed Maj Gen. William p.
DuvalI. of Maryland, when he retires
from the command of the Philippine dl-
vision next month is causing no little
speculation in army circles. and may ulti-
mately bring about a clash. with the
White House, War Department, and sew
statesmen as participants.
Brig Gen. Arthur Murray, chief of the
Coast Artillery, is favored for the pros
motion by the War Department. while
Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston, of Agul-
naldo fame. is supported by politicians
from Kansas and California for the posi-
ton
President Taft has taken the stand that
politics must not enter army relations,
and the result OF the controversy may
mean the selection of dark horse.
Rising from the volunteer corps to a
brigadier general In a few years is the
record of Gen Funston Some of the
opposition to his selection for the Philip
pine post comes, undoubtedly, from the
fact that he is not a West Point gradu-
ate. There is always more or less feeling
between the graduates of the military
school and those appointed to the regular
army from the ranks Of civilians. In ad-
dition. Funston's opponents say his short
military career does not warrant his Sc
lection for such an important post.
Wood FavOrs Murray.
1t is known that the War Department
and Mai Gen. Wood. Chief of STAFF, favor
the appointment of Brig. Gen. Murray.
and. it is understood. nave presented
strong arguments to the President for his
appointment That Representatives and
Senator's from Kansas have made pleas
for Funston at the White House is also
known.
California is also interested in the fight
for Funston's selection. because of the
services he rendered during the Garth
quake at San Francisco, and in the mar
tiaI regime thereafter. Funston was In
charge of the Department OF California.
and did great work in the saving of lives
and property at the time of the earth
quake. Railroad interests and other cor
porations whose property was saved are
said to have made Funston promise Of
promotion for his work.
Brig. Gen. Murray, on the other hand
is relying on his long and merltorious
military record to bring him the plum
The Philippine Office has been filled from
the Coast Artillery which Murray now
commands, and it is believed that this
branch of the service should continue to
have this representation among the major
generalships
He has had a military career of forty
years duration. If politics is to be
brought into the appointment, however,
he can rely on support from some of the
leading members of Congress, Champ
Clark being among his closest friends.

While the contest is being waged by
friends of Murray and Funston, talk of
a dark horse has been creeping in as
an amieable means of settlement. Pres
