CRUSADE AGAINST THE KISS
10 Dangerous and Should be
Condemned.

Kissing in its modern promiscu,.y
s pernicious and should be condemned
As dangerous.
The custom probably had Its origin
aot in affection. but in suspicion. In
primitive times, when the sense OF
smell was perhaps more acute than
that Of sight. bringing the faces to-
gether was a means of Identification
and of distinguishing friend from foe.
We have now other better developed
senses, psychic and physical. which
ELL US of friendship, and kissing has
become a mark OF affection. rather
than a test of It.
1t is not against this that the by
gienist-the sensible one-protests.
but against the meaningless and dan
gerous habit OF pecking at the lips OF
every one. especially of the defense

Tor a stranger. or even an ordinary

the act should be resented.
kissing among members of the fam

these each member of the family is In
measure immune. They are like an
illnatured pet dog that respects the
members of the household with which
1t lives. and will not bite them, but
snaps and snarls at strangers.

lily greeting; for strangers or ordinary
friends the handshake suf1ces. Above
all, the babys lips should be sacred

CUT THE DYKES.
r~;-,o11 Dorictov.7


The late dispatches from Wasnins-
ton are very interesting. They tell OF
the declaration, by the allied forces or
the administration and the standpat-
ters, of a, war of humiliation upon the
insurgents" The significant thing is
that they think that they can win with
the aid of a FEW DEMOCRATS.
The Washington regular is very like
his Iowa brother.
In the days Of William the Silent the
"Beggars" Of Holland, beaten before
the iron clad hosts of the Duke of Alva,
their cities sacked and in flames, their
granaries on fire, fleeing from their last
fortress, always had one resource left.
They could cut the dykes and make the
Atlantic a welcome guest.
Heaven forbid that we should COM
pare the standpatters with those heroes
of Holland in any other sense than this.
But the resemblance here will do for
an illustration. One resource always
remains, beaten every other way they
can always tie up with the democrats
