CALLS KISSING SAFE.
DR.. Wiley, Though Retired Says '.Still
Have a Memory"

Washington. June 30.-The PROPOSE
ton to abolish the gentle practice of
OSCILLATION by antikissing crusades and
health societies is scoffed at by those
medical men of Washington who have
the least grain of sentimentality left
in them, and is regarded as the hug
est kind of a joke.
DR.. Harvey F. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the depart
ment of agriculture, who probably
knows as much about disease germs
of various kinds as any other man in
this country. says he has yet to see a
single instance in which life has
been wrecked or shortened as a d.
rect result of disease germs transmit
ted from diseased person to a
healthy one by the kissing route
"A society for the prevention of
less than society for the prevention
OF pleasure. Just imagine a kissless
courtship! Can you. contemplate a
more uninteresting predicament? l
certainly would like to get one peep at
the members of an organization which
approves of such thing
while 1 long since have retired
from the spooning business. still have
memory, and whenever anyone quotes
me as saying that I believe the kiss

put it down that 1 have been mis-
quoted.
ST have reached the stage where I
confine my kissing entirely to relatives
and babies, but that is not because

sion from mouth to mouth.
Take a darkened nook on a moon
light night, with the beams playing
around a couple idly swinging in a
hammock; let the antikissing society
get to work in such a case, and see
what would happen. 1t would not be
long before the pair would shift their
position and find a more secluded spot.
You can't keep it down and there's
no use trying, and so long as good. red
blood courses through the veins of the
American youth, and the adults and
the aged, too, so far as that is con-
cerned, that delightful sensation which
is experienced when lips touch and
arms clasp and two hearts beat as one,

Huycke Talks About Governments
Timber Cutting Charge.

Paul Huycke, one of the company
sued by the government on a charge
of cutting timber bought from home
steaders today explained their side of
the case. Jonathan Thomas, who also
was sued is ill at his home. Huycke
said:
I'm February, criminal action,
brought against US before Judge Rog-
ers of the federal court at Fort Smith,
Ark, upon the same charges, was dis
missed. Now the government seeks
to recover under civil action. The
charge that we refused to settle for
the timber is groundless. I personal
" conferred with Field Officer Willis
of the department of the interior in
an attempt to settle out of court. He
demanded $40 a thousand feet for the
timber cut while the governments
price for it is but $3.50. The last
words I had with him were, If you
find we have cut timber unlawfuliy,
we will settle on a reasonable basis
THE suits of similar character
brought against mill men in that dis
trict are many. The department of
the interior received an appropriation
OF $2,000,000 last year. Their field
officers ride over the country in Pull
mans, have a good time and send in
all sorts of reports. We actually have
had suits against us for timber that
was cut by someone else before we
bought the right.
Martin is out of the company now.
So far as Mr.. Thomas and myself are
concerned ] can say we never knew
of any timber bought from any home
steader who had not filed on his land

Joseph E. Chamberlain, who visited

Several state house officials and a few
