The Johnson faction did not op-
pose the program of the Harmon
supporters. The rejection of the
senatorial endorsement resolution is
regarded as a reputation of the
scheme of William ]. Bryan.
The platform endorses the idea of
the direct election of senators and
favors the Oregon senatorship plan
until such time as the constitution
is amended. 1t commends Governor
Harmon for his fight against graft.
The platform also demands great
er federal economy and revision of
the tariff, which is termed an unjust
and unfair tariff The revision is
proposed on a basis of revenue.

HISTORY OF THE KISS.
(June Smart set)

(June Smart Set)
The further away we journey
from the days OF Eve, the more as
siduously the world seems to have
cultivated the habit of kissing; in
other words kissing is a. mark and
a test of civilization Before the
coming of the white man it appar-
emily was totally unknown among
the Indians of America and the saw
ages of Africa and Australia; but
who shall trace It's beginning among
the people of Europe and Asia? AS
far as we may go among these anei-
ent white nations we shall find no
age when this highly unhygienic
practice was not popular. Indeed,
Darwin attempts to trace it back to
the habit our detailed ancestors had
of grasping prey with their teeth!
This business of oseulating became
so popular among the Greeks that It

They were at least more systematic,
for they divided all kisses into three
kinds; the osculum, the kiss OF
friendship; the baslum, the kiss of
oeremonyi and the suavium. the kiss
OF love. All of which simply implies
that the Romans had three chances

There will shortly be presented
for collection, this time to King
George V, for something like the
SEVENTEEN time, the biggest bill
which the world has ever known OF
is likely to know which is held by !
New York woman against the Eng,
lish government. Compared to its
Incredible total, the national debt
becomes but drop in the bucket,
and all the wealth Of the richest man
in the world would not pay the in
terest on it for a week. It's total, az
set for in the latest accounting and
demand for payment, is $685.
100, 400, ,62s, 100 900 900, 900 900, or
more than 93 septillions of Ameri-
can money. To pay 1t would ruin
Great Britain, and in fact II it
should be paid the whole British
Empire would become the private
property of Miss Eustaphiewo, the
claimant, who could then without
missing Il present the British Isles
to Father Knickerbocker as a play
ground. AS a matter of fact there
is not money enough in the whole
world to settle this obligation and
it therefore has very slim chance
of being paid. Most of the amount
is interest on the claim which is an
inherited one and dates back nearly
700 years. During the Hundred
Years War between England and
France the Italian banking house of
the Peruzzi, from whom the present
holder of the claim is descended,
financed the campaign of King Ed
ward III. For the money thus ad-
yanced a bill has been presented to
the British government every ten
years and 1t is largely the interest
which has been piling up enormous
ly during seven centuries which now
gives the account its unbelievable
total. Curiously enough the bill
has never been repudiated, it has
simply been neglected" But
whether or not it is valid, it cer-
tainly is not collectlble for the sim
pie reason that there is not enough
money in existence to pay it, A SET
tlement on basis of even one dollar
on every million would still mean n
payment of more than nine quintil-
lions of money.

HONDURAS IS To
HAVE EXCITEMENT
Little Filibuster, the Hornet,
Is Bringing Cargo of
Trouble to Port.
(American News Service)

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Dec. 81
With American ships of war cruising
in Honduran waters on both the east
ern and western coasts, and with the
supposed filibuster Hornet racing to-
wards Honduras, there are nearly
5000 revolutionists under the COM
mand of Lee Christmas. an American
soldier of fortune, and former Presi-
dent Bonilla, who are ready to sweep
the country when the signal is given
an attack upon this port.
1t is learned that the leaders OF
the revolutionists sought to have the
revolt against President Davilla's gov
ernment in full swing before January
II. The Honduras navy's eastern
coast patrol, the Tatumbla, has kept
it's crew busy keeping the vessel from
sinking and no time could be spared
to prepare hot reception by sea for
the coming Hornet. although there
probably are 500 regular soldiers in
the town. which is surrounded by
earthworks.
The Tatumbia has been steaming
about the harbor and, compared with
the trim. powerful United States
Cruiser Tacoma she is a sorry spec
tacle.
A single shot from the Tacoma
would probably send the Tatumbia to
the bottom in splinters. The Hondur.
an ship carries a single siX-pound can
non fore and aft. During a battle
against supposed coast pirates last
summer the Tatumbla bombarded four
schooners for two hours without one
shot taking effect.
The greatest preparations to repel
the invading forces have been made
on the eastern coast and the Nicara
guam frontier. Several hundred Hon
durans are in upper Nicaragua ready
to sweep over the Rio Coco when the
signal is given.
At San Pedro Sula, President Da
villas forces have six machine guns
and good sized fighting force with
$4,000 rounds of ammunition.
