Baltimore Sun.


President Mckinley has shown more forti-
tude than any of his immediate predeces-
sors in the manner in which he has solved
problem that may have a great bearing
upon his future. On his journey to the
Nashville exposition he was met at every
station bv curious and enthusiastic crowds,
and finally as might have been expected,
the inevitable baby was handed TO him to
be kissed The President could have plead
ed that baby-kissng is exclusively the pre-
rogative of candidates for office, and that
the man who has already got there is
exempt from further duties of an oscu-
latorv character. But he did nothing of
the kind. He faced the situation like
man whose courage has been proved in the
storm of battle and gave the aspiring infant
a rousing salute on the lips. This estab-
lished a precedent which hereafter cannot
he ignored. Not only must the man who Is
in search of office kiss the baby of the en-
terprising voter but he must keep up the
practice after he begins to draw his salary.
Probably the President enjoys the kissing
as much as the fond parents of the little
cherub who is made famous by the gra-
ciousness of the chief magistrate, but there
are babies and babies, as well as all sorts
of voters The President may have TO face
most embarrassing situation while he is
touring the South, unless his courage is in
vincible and the precedent may yet return
to plague him.

The D. .cal expulsion of three students
from Harvard University for defacing the
statue of John Harvard is a credit TO that
institution and the manner in which the
affair was managed is highly creditable TO
the students themselves. A committee from
the junior class was appointed 10 invesu-
gate the outrage and having discovered the
offenders il quietly requested them 10 re-
sign and leave college. This they decided
to do and now the college and the class
is well rid of them. The action of the un-
dergraduates themselves Is the most en-
couraging feature of the whole affair. The
custom prevailing among college students
in the past has been TO cover up and eN-
tenuate the offenscs Of fellow students, no
matter how heiuous they might be. This
has been considered a part of the code OF
honor to which students had TO conform
or run the risk OF being considered un-
manly How erroneous such standard of
morals Is has been apparent to every one
except the undergraduates themselves, who
chung to their ideas tenaciously. The event
at Harvard seems to show. however that
old prejudices are being dissipatsd aud that
clearer and more correct moral views are
coming TO prevail IN the college world.
