kissina In Iceland .

Among old time laws against kissing
those of Iceland appear to have been
the most severe. Punishment was the
penalty laid down for kissing another
mans wife, either with or without her
consent The same punishment was
enforced for kissing an unmarried wo-
man against her will; If it could be
proved that she had consented to be
kissed the offender was still liable TO
a fine of great quantity of cloth for
each offense

But, after all. the worst that can be
said of these third degree barbaritles
is that they are illegal. The Constitu.
ton Of the United States forbids "cruel
and unusual punishment, and the un-
derlyng spirit of the law is to presume
all persons innocent until proven guilty
The ''third degree amounts to the
enormity OF an illegal, premature trial
held before the suspect has been given
an opportunity 10 procure counsel and
before he is even under Indictment
His testimony is obtained under duress
and generally when he is suffering from
temporary emotional insanity. The ma
lority of the victims of the system are
either aliens, ignorant citizens or youths
who do not understand their legal rights
and who are afterward afraid to expose
their prosecutors.
