NORTHAM 610 Highland St. 563, tf. Box 636 Phone It was forty-two years ago today, on Sept. 4, 1870, that the Third Repub- Me was proclaimed in France, follow- ing the disasters of the Fr nch army in the war with Germany and the consequent downfall of the Second Empire, Since then France has re- mained steadfast to republican prin- ciples, and the propaganda of the Bonapartist, Orleanist and Bourbon pretenders has fallen on deaf ears, so tar as the great masses of the people are concerned. The anniversary is ot particular Interest because of the fact that the principles of republi- can government are now apparently gaining ground in nearly all * the countries. of the. uropean continent. Real Republicanism in Europe is a growth of the last three-quarters of century. The anclent republics of Greece and Rome and the medieval republics of Genoa, Venice and other Italian cities were really aristocra- cles, ruled by. the yotes of the bet- Ti 1579 the seven Northern provinces of Holland formed a short-lived republic. In 1648 the Dutch Republic was recognized by Burope, and flourished for a time. In 1795 the Dutch people again experi- mented with republicanism by orga izing the Batavian Republic in alli- ance with France, later overthrown by Napoleon, Switzerland was a pioneer in experimenting with repub- lcan forms of government, and since 1848 it has been the most democratic state of Burope. England was to some extent under a republican gov- ernment from 1649 to 1660. Portu- gal has recently joined the republi- can ranks, but its troubles with the supporters of the deposed King Manuel are not yet over. Spain was nominally a republic for the four years from 1868 to 1871, The suctess of the Portyguese revolutionists perhaps accounts for the great increase in republican agi- tation which 1s now causing alarm to the monarchs of the continent. The overthrow of the ancient order in China, too, has had its effect. Tur- key and Greece, usually considered among the most backward of Euro- pean countries, are now hotbeds of democratic propaganda. The execu- tion of Francisco Ferrer, unwarrant- ed by law or justice, gave republi- canism a great impetus in Spain, and the leaders of the movement now pre- dict that victory is all but within thelr grasp and will be achieved in- side of a few years. The Belgians as the near neighbors of the French, have quite naturally been influenced by republican ideas. In Germany the Social Democrats are threatening the overthrow of the house of Hohen- zolledn. Denmark, Sweden and Nor- way appear to be content tn follow the lead of Great Britain in building up a democracy under monarchical forms. Hungarians have long dream- ed of independence from Austria and the establishment of a republic, and many observers of European affair believe that the death of Franz Josef will be signal for the revolt of the Huns. CUT OUT KISSING ON THE PLATFORM ? NOT *N YOUR LIFE Switzerland Does? Well, That's Where the Cheese Comes From, Anyway, WE WILL KISS ANYWHERE. Specially When We Want to See the Co-Eds Off to School Again Is the gentle art of osculation declared a dark and dangerous crime by the powers that be. An Associa- tion of Western physicians recently made an unsuccessful attempt to place upon fhe statute books an ord- inance forbitidig kissing in any pub- Me place. Better fortune has attended the ascetic endeavors of the Society for the Protection of Young Girls Travelling Alone in Switzerland. All through the railroad station at Sar- nen, in Canton Obwald, on the Brunig. line, have been hung large placards inscribed as follows: Considering abuses which have resulted, honorable strangers are requested not to kiss each other on the platform of the station. (Signed) Society for Protection of Young Girls Trayelling Alone. The understanding is that f any honorable stranger has the temer- ity to disobey this warning, he or she (or both) will be arrested by officers of the law. Switzerland-Hins Another Think Coming. There 1s a more or less secret sus- picion that the medical officials who invelgh from time to time against the chaste salute are not so hard-hearted as they are on the look out for some perfectly good unpaid advertising. But if Sarnen, Switzerland, thinks to recommend itself to the travelling public by its sudden spasms of blue- law virtue well, Sarnen , Switzer- land, has another think coming to It. The above seems to be the opinion in New York at least. A similar dis- patch was shown W. H. Egan, station master at the Penn. and Long Island Terminal, says a New York paper. Republicanism in Europe Rapidly Gaining Ground ridiculous, he said. I, can imagine what the American public would do to a railroad company which promut- gated such an absurd regulation. The terminal and trains would vimply be boycotted out of existence. Everybody kisses that wants to kiss, up here. And Ive noticed that men are almost as keen at it as wom- en, Plenty of men kiss each other goodby, And why on earth shouldn't they? It's nobody's business but thelr own Trainmen Wouldn t Stare for Anything. gatemen and other officials of pany are certainly too polite even to stare at the goodby parties, let alone trying to interfere. Such interfernce would be a slight on personal berty that we're 80 proud of here in America. 1 don't belive that a law or an. ordinance in- terfering with kissing could be pass- ed constitutionally in any State in the Union. If you go away back to the Declaration, of Independence, you'll find that we are all entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Just that one phrase is going to stop any anti- oxculation legislation. Really, Mr. Egan concluded with seriousness, the goodby kiss will last 4s long as families and friends, And that means that kisses will always be exchanged in railroad stations and on steamsh p wharves. Two persons care about each other, One is going on a long journey while the other must stay behind, It is possible that the next meeting of the two will be in- definitely delayed; it seven possible . that they will never meet again. Of course they will exchange a kiss at parting. I know I should feel that way. And I rather think that if-1 had a sister going off on her vacation I'd want to kiss her goodby chimed in Assistant Station Master, James Rol- land. Why, if those Swiss railway People live up to their rule they won't let a mother kiss her child in their precious station, if she has to go away from it or send t away from her It s the limit Regiment of Police Couldnt Stop It. How do they think they can en- force such a rule? It seems to me they'll need a: special regiment of policemen if they are going to make an arfest for every kiss. -Certainly the New York force would have its hatids full if it attempted to take up every respectable man and woman wlio, came down here to see a friend or- relative off. The local courts would be flooded with the offenders, the judges would have to sit twenty- four hours a day, and the city would have to build a new prison every week if kissing in a railway station were made a penal offence. We have so many long-distance, cross country trains go out from here that of course there are plenty, of affectionate and sometimes tearful farewells. But there's lots of room for everybody and it would be plain cruelty to interfere with them. As for the abuses spoken of in that Swiss placard, I can't tmagine em. The thing is signed by that protec- tion soctety for young girls travelling alone,- but no unescorted young girl will suffer from unwelcome kisses in any part of the cfvilized world. At least she won t in any American rail- road station. Smith and Vassar Girls Would Kick. In the offices of A. R. Whaley, ter- minal agent and general superin- tendent of the New York Central Rail- road, the anti-kissing proclamation was received with a similar mixture of- amusement and scorn. Nothing Uke that around the Grand Central nor likely to was declared. The great American people would not stand for It. Now, I wouldn't for one, It sounds like that silly blue law they tell me still exists over in Massachusetts, that a man mustn't kiss his wife fi public on Sunday. Whatever New York's fault, it isn't puritanical. Just imagine the feelings of the special train loads of Smith and Vas- sar college girls that go in and out of this station several times a year, if-any such placard stared them in th face Just think of what thelr rela- tives and sweethearts would say But I reckon nobody need worry about this particular reform. gt; Denies Bible Ties Woman s Tongue Theologian Contends Scrip- - tural Injunction, is not Binding Today. Modern women henceforth may cheerfully deny the orthodox theory that the Scriptures seek to put a rein upon the feminine tougue, according to the decision given by Professor Gerald Birney Smith of the Univer- sity of Chicago Divinity Svhool, in an article on Theology and Biblical Criticism in the current number of the Biblical World The university authority asserts that Paul's Injunction to women to keep silence in the churches is not to be regarded as binding today. This Interpretation, which would speech upon women in every realm of activity is only one of the tenets of higher criticism defended by Professor Smith in a plea for new theology applicable to present day Ho declares that it 1s no scriptural conditions. longer possible to treat etatements no if they were timeless and absolute expressions of truth. 1m calling attention 10 the outwora injunction against feminine Professor Snulth affirms The older tbeologican asumed that the purpose of Bible study was to ascertain directly what one ought to believe. But very brief exam - nation reveals the fact that whatever our method, ft is not easy to deter- mine what biblical truth is, The suggestions of the tempter in the early chapter of Genesis can scarce- ly be raid to embody truth. No one holds that one should Ut- Jerally cut off his hand when it does wrong or pluck. out the right eye. How many of ts iways give to any man that asketh and turn not away fram him who wauld borrow? The matter of finding What we ought to belfeve by mere reading of the Bible Is not so 4mple as It seems, To transfer bodily to our own day these millennial hopes means to encourage such movements as that of the Millerites im the last century, who prepared thelr ascension robes so as to be ready on the given day. Now, it requires only a little re- flection to see that the problems which men of the first century were compelied to meet. It Is seen that only as doctrines shal actually help men to answer the Questions in which they are interested can they, pre- serve the function which Biblical ut- terances.trlfitied. a ee ee ee Some LABOR wont Feeeee eee eeeed In bis report for the fear 1911-12 the superintendent )of the Westmin- ster, England, Labor Bureau, points out that offers for work for men had decreased 18 per Cent during the year, while work offered for boys had in- creased 90 per d. work offered. for women had inggeased 60 per cent. + bet Park, Mil- afiended the essed by Debs. speech On July 21st, al waukee, 45,000 political meeting Declaring that 4 dollar of hers ever should go to ion abor, Miss Hlizabeth O'Boyle, Wprovrietress of a grocery at Butte, Mont, donned ov- eralis and ' completed the i pentry work on her store made nec- essaTy by damage by a fire, A crowd Lor wnion men looked on and joshed from a safe distance.
