the punishment
kissing shall not be less than $1
aud not more than $5 for each of
fense. At that rate many a fairly
ardent young lover would possi
bly violate the law about $100
worth any favorable evening.
But. the proposed law won’t do.
It is clearly unconstitutional, it
is class legislation, and it is
against public policy. The right
to pursuit of happiness is guaran
teed in the fundamental law.
Wouldu’t that right be everlast
ingly knocked into a cocked hat
if the free privilidge of osculating
Vvibli the chosen of one’s heart
were denied? Is there any hap
piness which surpasses that of
the moment when lips meet in “A

THE COMMONER,
(Mr. Bryan’s Paper.)
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a
circulation of 100,000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the history of
American periodical literature, The
unparalleled growth of this paper de
monstrates that there is room in the
newspaper fields for a national paper de
voted to the discussion of political,
economic, and social problems. To the
columns of the Commoner Mr, Bryan
contributes his best efforts ;and his views
of political events as they arise from
time to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner’s regular subeription
price is $1.00 per yecr. We have arrang
ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur
nish his paper and Home Journal to
gether for on& year for $1.90. The reg
ular subscription price of the two pa
pers when suberibed for separately is
$2.50.
The proposition is vicious class
legislation, in that it says “he”
must get tho license to kiss. That
throws the onus of thb burden of
on one-half of the
population, leaving the other
half free; and the half that is
prohibited is the half 'that the
other half wants to be kissed by.
The favored half wouldn’t give
three straws to exchange kisses
with itself. True, it does some
thing of the sort in a perfunctory
and social way, but that is mere
ly by waji of conforming to a cus
tom and not becaoise it roally
wants to. A foundation stone of
our institutions is equally before
the law. The bill in question
would create a favored class, but
the class would consider it a migh
ty poor way of being favored.
The bill is agaiust public pol
icy, because it would incite to vi
olations of the law and thus de
tract from the respect in which
the laws are held. The unlicens
ed swain would say “Won’t you
permit me to smash the statute,
Miss 'Mary?” And Miss Mary
would pucker her lips into an en
ticing smile, and the statute
would be smashed. Aud Miss
Mary would thus become an ac
cessory to the illegal act. Is it
possible that there is more than
one legislator in Virginia who
would make the youthful chivalry
of the state a class of criminals
and the beauty thereof an aggre
gation of accessories to violations
of law? Representative Ware. of
Amherst county ought to with
draw his bill.
The Value of a Mechanic.
• ^.T >l iHf b . aa moi ’ a raw mate
rial of a diversified character than
auy other portion of the globe.
Besides, it grows every crop need
ed tor the sustenance of miyn or
beast. It stands'at the opening
doors of the world’s commerce,
and can supply at low fates al
most every necessity of the human
family. There never was such a
theatre for intelligent humau en
deavor as the, South presents. It
is the high duty of the state gov
ernments of the South, of its mu
nicipalities and of its public-
spitited citizens, to provide the
meaus to educate that portion of
the population that gives the
greatest promise of the most fruit
ful^ outcome to the country. A
trained, educated mechanic is the
most powerful factor in the prog
ress of nations. Such a man
thinks, provides for the unexpect
ed, multiplies his forces and dares
the world to meet him. South
ern boys would make such leaders
if educated in industrial schools.

In New Jersey' a man has been
tried and found guilty of attempt-
to commit suicide and sentenced
to prison. He said he had no
home, no money aud no friends,
and that one thing that induced
him to attempt to .kill. himself
was the certainty that he would
be arrested and sent to jail for
vagrancy. In short, it was against
the law for the pair fellow to live
and against the law for him to at
tempt to die. What was he to do?

Saved At Grave’s Brink.
“I knew I would long ago have
been in my grave,” writes Mrs.
S. H. Newsom, of Ducatur, Ala.,
“if it had not been for Electric
Bitters. For three years I suf
fered untold agony from the worst
forms of Indigestion, Water-
brash, Stomach and Bowel Dis-
pepsia. But this excellent medi
cine did me a world of good.
Since using it I cam eat heartily
end h ive gained 35 pounds.” For
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite,
Stomach,Liver and Kidney troub
les Electric Bitters are a positive
guaranteed cure. Only 50c at Dr.
“Quick lunch” is one of the
commonest of city signs. The
sj|.p doesn’t say “a healthy lunch
of good food—the character of the
food abparently is not considered.
It’s just a quick luuch,—eat and
get away. Is it any wonder that
the stoinacl breaks down? Food
is thrown at* it, sloppy, indigesti
ble and innutritious food, very
often, and the stomach has to do
the best it can. Normally there
'should be no need for medical as
sistance for the stomach. . But
the average method of life is ab
normal and while this continues
there will always be a demand
for Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It is the oue medicine
which can be relied on to cure
diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
It is not a cure-all. It is a medi
cine designed for the stomach, and
to cure through the stomach re
mote diseases which have their
cause in the derangement of the
6taomacb and digestive and-nutri
tive system. It cures wheu all
else fails.

upbuilding of the public schools
