THE IMPERIAL KIssERS. Tho car
and the kaiser met yesterday at Wtesbaden
and saluted each other with an affectionate
kiss--the second within three months. II
was only couple Of months ago that the
car kissed President Faure Of France and
the proper discharge OF his imperial duties
will probably compel him to kiss two or
three other whiskered friends before the
year Is out.
All OF which leads a thoughtful observer
to wonder how he will get even.
Formerly a monarch was not 30 hammered
and restricted by pariiaments and public
opinion. II he met a brother monarch and
kissed him twice he could 20 nome ard de-
clare war and blow up two OF three OF the

especially as the increase In tho custom
of exchanging kingly visits piles a large
lead OF unavenged kisses upon every Iro-
gressive monarch every year. Probably
some king will give way to his feelings
one OF these days and, having lovingly sa-
luted fellow king, will suddenly seize
him by the neck and double him irto a
knot, to the scandal OF the specta .ors.

BISMARCK AND AMERICANtsM. 1t is
not surprising that Bismarck should PRO-
nounce the Monroe doctrine uncommon
insolence to the rest OF the world" Any
political policy which ran counter In any
way to his ideas Of world supremacy for
German absolutism would n. tlrally en-
counter the hostility OF the OLD man OF
blood and iron.
And yet even Bismarck. one would think.
might see the difference that Exists between
conditions in the Eastern aha Western
Hemisphere, Europe, with divers pow ers
engaged in bitter rivalry. 10 not to be
compared with the Americas. where the
worlds greatest republic stands as wareer-
off of monarchical aggression from scross
the Atlantic.
However, it doesn't mu,h ssnlfv
whether the Monroe doctrine Is to Bis.
mnrck's liking or not. There was no
thought of pleasing European aleolutists
when it was formulated. and t,restion
from this class can only scrve to
strengthen its hold upon true Americans.

THE TESTIMONY OF EXPERTS. Tho
Luetgert trial emphasizes the necessity for
reform in expert TESTIMONY.
II Is immatcrlai ut this time whether
the experts for the defense convinced three
Jurors al the prisoners Innocence or
whether the EXPERTS for the prosecution
convinced nine jurors Of his guilt. The
effect u the expert testimony may be left
out Of consideration entirely. The fact re-
mains that the system is wrong and shoNd
be remedled Expert testimony should be-
long 10 the bench ard not to the bar.
Under the present system an expert witt
ness for the prosecution ia apt TO become
partisan. whose aoie aim Is to secure a
conviction, while an expert for the defense
bends cvcry energy to acquit the client
who pays him,
Much OF the expert testimony introduced
during the Luetgert trial was CT this kind.
Much OF II would nave been ridiculous

HIS SALARY Is RAISED
Police Com missioEers Increase Judge Hat.
| tons Salary 225 Per Month

The Wichita police commissioners at
the request of Police Judge Hatton, have
advanced his salary from SO per month
to 800. This request was acceded 10 on
account Of the proficiency with which
Judge Hatton has performed his du-
ties. He has collected more fines in his
department and turned ii over to the
proper authorities than has ever been
done before, and the commissioners
thought that he was entitled to a raise.
Furthermore. he has stood with the ad-
ministration in the business policy pur-
sued by them. Judge Hatton has col
lected in fines and forfeitures between
$500 and $500 each month.
Col Jocelyn, president of the board.
was seen yesterday and asked for a con-
firmation OF the report. He said chat
the board had raised Judge Hatton's
salary at their last meeting because OF
the proficiency with which ne performed
his duties. No one can come before
Judge Hatton who is guilty and allowed
10 go free, IL he has the money with
which to pay his fine. Judge Hatton has
been wonderfully successful in collecting
fines. and he is alawys on hand to at
tend to business. 1 think he is entitled
to the raise"

Ex-Mayor Cox said last night that il
was his opinion that the division would
