So the Royalists There Are Called

The Republic has been attacked Wig

cruel and ungenerous treatment of polit-
ical prisoners. 1t might have acted up
on the principle of the proverb. and,
having been given bad name, have con-

true, it would have inflicted upon itself
a perhaps irremediable wound, and 1t

policy. None the less the release OF
nearly 800 prisoners on the occasion of

is greatly up to the Republics credit,

as first step towards the consolidation

QUEER GREETINGS.
Tribes That Spit Upon or Wep Over
Their Visitors.

Among the Nasal and Ukerewe it is
mark of respect to greet an acquain-
lance or stranger by splitting at him.
Almost as strange is the custom as
scribed to the Tibetans of sticking out
the tongue by way of salutation. Rub
bling noses is quite common; the Bur-
mese and many tribes of Eskimos, Lap
landers and Malays do SO.
Stranger than any, of these customs is
the weeping salutation that has been
observed among central South American
Indians. This form of greeting occurs,
too. in the Andaman islands. New Zea-
land and Polynesia A Portuguese ex-
plorer describes the custom as he saw
it used among tribe of South American
Indians:
Whenever a guest enters a hut he is
Immediately honored and made welcomed
by being wept over. Without word
being spoken he is led to the hammock.
AS soon as he is seated the hostess and
her daughters and any of their girl
friends who happens to be in the house
at the time come and sit about the guest.
touch him lightly with their fingers and
commence to weep loudly and to sned
many tears. During this ceremony. in
a sort of connected discourse. they recite
everything that has happened to them
recently and talk of the hardships of the
road that the visitor has suffered and of
anything and everything that can arouse
compassion and tears. The guest. his
hand before his face. pretends to weep
and does not speak until the crying has
gone on for some time Then they all
wipe away their tears and become as
lively and merry as il they had never
cried in all their lives. Exchange

The resolutions urge Federal con-

Speaking before the National Con-
vention, Congressman-elect Daniel C.
McMullen of Tampa, Fla, said:
I'VE are going to write here a Sec
ond declaration of independence, re-
nouncing allegiance to King Alcohol,
who has plundered our seas, ravaged
our coasts and destroyed the lives of
our people"
1.-The people of this country" Mr..
McMullin said, "rejciced when Theo-
dore Roosevelt proved beyond doubt
that the brewer and distiller had no
part in the making of his marvellous
manhood. And the cause has been
strengthened by the fact that we now
have a President who, with that good
old-fashioned Presbyterian sense of
fidelity to duty, has banlshed the
wine cup from the White House and
God grant that it is banished forever.
The speaker also praised the action
of Secretary eff State Bryan is dis
earding alcoholic beverages from
diplomatic banauets.
"But more significant than the at
titude of an ex-President, President
or a Secretary of State" he said. is
the magnificent vote by which Con-
gress declared its independence of the
liquor lobby and passed the Webb
Kenyon bill. That was the most stag
gering blow ever given the liquor in
terests of this country.
I'VE have tried to regulate the BUS
mess, but it is as hopeless as the
evangelization of the devil.

ton is bound to give way sooner or
later to the alignment for the broader
contest of nationwide prohibition"
