KISSING NEEDS NO DEFENSE

The Rev. Elmer l.. Williams. pas tor of the Grace Methodist Episcopal church. championed the cause of the kiss in sermon at the Desplaines camp meeting recently.
 The speakers intentions were no doubt good But he was doing a bootless thing in defending the kiss almost as bootless thing as at tacking it
 The plain fact of experience is hat neither attack nor defense has any apparent effect on the kiss. It is really wonderful how it has sur yiycd through the ages. maintaining it's popularity in the face of every discoUragement.
 The blue law parsons have preached against the kiss. the police have warred against it, and. last of all science has endeavored to show that it is menace To the fife and happiness of the world But it has withstood them all.
 The father of the family reads an article in a medical journal de tailing the horrors that may follow in the train of a single kiss. He then goes placidly home and kisses his wife, just as if that article had never been written.
 The mother reads in a 1O-cent mag lzine or some other publication that deals in popularized science about the dangers that turk in simple kiss ing. Al that moment the baby cries Whereupon she kisses him to keep him quiet and finishes the article with much complacency
 The young man reads a Sunday Supplement about the 1S,O0O,OO ,O0o microbes that turk in every kiss. sey- eral of the microbes being greatly and terrifyingly enlarged And he goes right down 10 his best girls house and if he doesn't kiss her it is not because of the microbes.

When one considers how long the kiss has lasted, how easily it rises above the attacks from all quarters. .'t is impossible to resist the idea that there is merit in it: that 1t somehow subserves useful pur- pose: that it answers to some i'm periOus demand of human nature which will not be reasoned with
 IT science would attack 1t in the truly scientific fashion. it should first discover the mysterious demand 1t answers to. That known, and other wise supplied. the kiss might fall q ready victim to attack
 But as long as the kiss remains the mysterious affair it Is, popular without effort, and practiced without reflection, all attacks will be In vain and all defense unnecessary.-Inter Ocean.

No cWspaperman can be here in Wash ingtoH and know his business, and not know that Taft. Aldrich and Cannon are consolidated in a great political firm. and that this oligarchy has never had any serious dissension.

 Roosevelt vs. Taft.
 Roosevelt will not indorse Taft or the Payue-Aldrich law, in the opin- ion of the writer. There never has been any doubt on this point in my mind. and I have expressed the view repeatedly in dispatches since March [. 1909 But Roosevelt will indorse Lodge. tool of Aldrich and special Senate representative of the tarif trusts. railroads and other New Eng land corporate interests Nor do l expect 10 hear of Roosevelt cam paiging for such genuine progress sives as La Toilette Roosevelt is playing for the Presidency. and is jealous of La Policies popularity. At this stage Taft appears to stand q better chance of hauling down the next Republican presidential nomi- nation than does T. R. This is be cause Taft stands right in with the great corporate interests of the Unit ed States, and they control absolute Iy the Republican machine. ROose- welt was turned down in New York because the machine politicians know that Roosevelt is to be an In surgent They feared that if they permitted him to be even temporary chairman he might take advantage of the opportunity to weaken machine rule. The fight may be expected to be intensely interesting from now on. Keep a close eye on the poli- tical checker board. because few intimations may be let drop which show who is really in control of the government of this country
 Whats This!
 The Payne-Aldrich law is not now bringing in sufficient revenue to run he government. reports from the Re publican press bureau to the con trary notwithstanding. The tariff law. the corporation tax, internal revenue receipts. and all other sourc- es of revenue, combined, failed by $3,014.S42S7 of producing sufficient funds to run the government during he first It days of August.

A BOOST FOR FATHER

correspondent writes the StrOl- Ter asking if he cannot start movement that will tend to boost Father in the estimation of the general public The correspondent asserts that where hundreds of col umns have been and are being writ ten boosting Mother" there is sel- dom line written in heralding the praises of Father"
 While the Stroller has never giv- en the matter much thought, the cor respondents reference to it has caused him to carefully consider the question and the result of that consideration is that he has come to the conclusion that Father" is the mos. neglected. even maligned. person among all human beings. Pa thetic ana tender poems are dedi- cated to Mother" but the best Father" gets is to be depicted as an old soak. In fact, up until a few years ago the Stroller does not re- member of having heard any song about Father except Father, dear father, come home with me now" This old song about Father" would be sung at temperance meetings. Father being represented as a hardened old sinner who would prob bly, cremate several members of his family after he got home. Iii later years Father" has been held up to rilicule in "Everybody works but father Even the little chil- dren are heard to sing:
 "Mama's a lady, papa's a bum,
 Mama loves tea and papa loves
 rum"
 and in nine cases in every ten papa probably don't know rum from Red Raven Splits
 Kiss me, mother, kiss your dar- ling is familiar to everybody, but no song writer has ever written anything about Kiss me, father" Good men have lived and died for untold centuries yet who ever read of child "lisping prayer at fathers knee?"
 The Stroller does not for mo ment wish to be understood as dep recating Mother" On the contrary. he is willing to give her all the credit to which she is entitled and that is great deal. But he does think that Father" should be i'm mortaliZed in songs other than as a drunkard who hangs around paint stores" while the clock on the Steeple strikes one" and several more, or as Sitting before the fire, smoking his pipe of clay while Mother" and Sister Ann" are cul- tivatiEg humps on their backs bend ing over washtubs.
 Be it far from the Stroller to de sire to stir Father" up to mutiny, but the fact remains that he is not appreciated and that he is the most abused of all creatures of the biped class, and the Stroller would be pleased to see some movements in- augurated that would bring him to the front in a different and better light than that in which he now figures. While the Stroller believes in Angel Mothers" he believes as firmly in Angel Fathers" but he never sees anything in either song or verse about the latter, and if he can, in his weak and feeble way. do anything toward starting a cam paign tha; will tend to boost "Fath- er," he will feel that his pilgrim age through this vale of tears has not been in Stroller White in Whitehorse Star.

Why He AdvertiseS.

A prominent business man explains why he advertises and why he uses newspapers for that purpose as fol- lows:
 T advertise in the newspapers be- cause l am not ashamed of my goods or my work and to let the people know about myself, my store and my stock; because I cater to the in teliigent classes, and they read the papers, and l believe in increasing my business; because I can talk to more people through the newspapers, at a greater distance, in less time than in any other way; because my newspaper advertising has brought me great returns for the least eX- penditure of any advertising l have done; because when I write an ad. am not too stingy to pay for plac- ing it in the best possible medium or to have it inserted so it is attrac- tive; because l know my ad.
