Boston Post: There is a disposition on
the part of some newspapers to make fun
of the raising of a regiment in Nebraska
by the Hon. William J. Bryan. 1t is sug-
gested that President Mckinley might or
der this regiment to the Philippines with
the army of occupation for two or three
years. Unquestionably such a disposition
of Mr.. Bryan would tend to relieve Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Hanna of some ankle
ties which will grow more pressing within
the next two years. But 1t is not a credit
able thing to make this matter of joke.
Mr.. Bryan, since the elimination of the
difficulty with Spain, has carried himself
with entire dignity All his utterances
have been moderate. patriotic and strong
ly sensible. Many men in his position
would have yielded to the temptation to
push themselves forward, to claim leader
ship and demand position. Mr.. Bryan has
simply gone to work to raise troops with
whom he casts in his lot. enlisting with
the others. to take office only as 1t may
be offered him at the hands of his assoc
ciate volunteers. In this matter Mr..
Bryan's conduct is greatly to his credit.
At is not the part of patriotism to seek
to beiittle ii.

The Suprs me Court of the United

the most ip p1rtant decisions that has
come from that tribuualin some time.
The case was one IN which the heirs OF
man who rad c2mmi ted suicide sued
torecover a large amount otirsurance

pre- me- &C urt held that no insurance

policy held by man VINO was sane
when he committed suicide. TIE de-
cision implies that the court does not
accept the commonly hsld theory that
no suicide is in his right mind. The
