HouD the Mistletoe
Came to Mean
Kissing

We decorate our homes with sprays
of .mistletoe at Christmas time, but
few of us know the history of it as q
Yuletide symbol. Pretty girls are
! kissed under it and a great deal of fun
and nonsense are carried on aprOpos OF
/ it, but no one stops to think of how
ancient a decoration it is or how sacred
it was once thought to be. The ancient
Celts in their Druidical religion had
two great festivals, one in June and
the other In December, the latter being
equivalent to our Christmas. In both
of these great festivals the gathering
of the mistletoe was a sacred rite.
The Druids believed that potion
prepared from mistletoe would in
crease their hocks and that the plant
was remedy against all poison 1t
was believed to be a curative for many
Ills, and this belief is still to be found
in many remote places in Europe. In
Lacaune, France, for example, 1t is
always administered by the native
dWellers as an antidote for poison.
In the northeast of Scotland people
March full moon; these they bent in
circles and kept for year to cure
hectic fevers and other troubles. In
Sweden on midsummer eve mistletOe
is diligently sought after, the people
believing it to be possessed of many
mystic qualities, and that if a sprig
of it is attached to the ceiling of the
dwelling house, the horses stall or the
cows crib, the trolls viii then be pow
erless to injure either man or beast.
Many German peasants also consider +
the mistIetoe a powerful charm against /
evil spirits. a similar belief seems to I
have fingered among the Romans. /
When Aeneas descended into Hades
he gathered to protect himself from
the Internal powers, a branch of mas
tletoe, which Vergil Calls the golden
bOugh.
The custom of kissing under the mis-
tletOe goes back to the days when
Thor and Odin and all the other gods
of the NOrthland walked and talked
with men. Baldur, the sOH of Odin
and Frigga, the Apollo of Scandina-
Wan mythology the flaxen-haired god

ton of power is what always preoedes the destruction of human energy
 Surely that Is enough. If the high privileges for which we contend are thus regarded by the most conspicuous leader in the battle for human freedom, may we humber lovers of our constitution and our institutions not feel heartened in our determination to fight this Prus- sian blood?
 Are we to be denied the right of government which our state depart ment is now holding out to the Jugo- Slavs? We have given self-g government, without strings to it, to Cuba at the cost of our own blood Are we not entitled to the same boon for ourselves?
 'eThe savages in the Philippines have been considered worthy of self-soV ernment. For nearly 100 years the people of this nation guarded with so jealous scrutiny the principle of self government that the only changes in the cri~.nal constitution, not merely administrative, were limitations upon the central power. The Civil war car ried the principle of sovereignty of the people and the necessity for their protection one step further. and inn posed limitations upon the states. All of these changes were limitations upon one form of government or the otter, in the high interest of the people.
 "We are Tow faced with the third phase. It is old in Germany. Bis narck gave it definite form. Bern hardi. Tre;tschke and William the Sec ond have developed 1t in all of its hidecus reality, It is the doctrine that peoples are unfit for self government, that they cannot be trusted to work out their own destiny; that they must be regulated by government.

 He riddled the argument of amendists that the prohibition amendment is a war measure. and declared that such is not true, because President Wilson has a right at this time to prohibit the use of any grain in the manufacture of beer and has already prevented the use of grain in the making of whisky. He also pointed out that quicker way should have been found to bring on prohibition if it were intended as a war measure. 2 He said he regretted that it was im- possible in Alabama to adjourn politics, as requested by President Wilson, and declared that it was necessary to fight as long as certain persons insist upon departure from the established rules of government laid down by the forefathers and to establish principles which, he declared, were foreign to home rule and states rights, which were insisted upon in days gone by

 The act ir a twofold sense is repus- nant to the constitution. It not only transcends the authority delegated to Congress over commerce, but also exerts a power as to a purely local matter to wnioh the federal authority does not ex- tend, If Congress can thus regulate maj te9s entrusted to local authority by pro- hipitlon of the movement of commodities in interstate commerce, all freedom ot commerce will be at an end, and sae power of the states over local matters will be eliminated and thus our system of government be practically destroyed. In the dissening opinion in which Jus tices Mol<enna, Brandets and Clarke con- cured Justice Holmes declared enac:- melt of the law came clearly within the powers of Congress.
 "The act does not meddle with any thing belonging to the states said Jus ttce Holmes They may regulate thar internal affairs and their domestic cora- merce as they like. But when they seek to send thelr products across the state line they are no longer within their lights, If there were no constitution and no Congress, their power to cross the llns would depend upon their neighbors. Un- der the constitution such commerce be- longs not to the states but to Congress, to regulate. 1t may carry out it's views of public policy whatever Indirect effect they may have upon the activities of the states The public policy of the United States Is shaped with d view to the beu- eft of the nation as a whole.
