A MucH-ABusEp INCIDENT.

There is not the slightest proyocaton
tempt on the life of the Priace OF Wales
by a Belgian boy OF scarcely responsible
age. That any one should take advantage
OF the evidently unprompted act OF a
youthful madmar to expend an absurd
wrath upon the Transvaaler. as the In liter
OF the deed, is the limit OF mental idiocy.
No possible good could come to the
Beers from the assassination of the Prince
OF Wales. His death Is of no possible
value TO them. His life and occupancy of
the British throne might be.
Everybody regrets the assassius attack
on the public or private citizen. any
where on the civilized earth. When such
attack is prompted by an order, u society,
kind 1t argues the existence OF unwhole-
some and dangerous conditions with which
the state, wherein the act has been com
mitted. must deal In this view the deed
may become OF International concern. Ger
tainly in no other.
The act of the Belgian youth which
proceeded from no motiv> not born in in
sanity is of no more consequence because
1t happened at a spot where Bcer SYM

are likewise many British subjects who do
not believe in the justice OF the British

That Incorporate people In Great Britain

Incident to Boer agents or Boer friends
simply indicates the incomprehenslble ex-
tremes to which hate and prejudice can
carry men who act on impulse and not
through the processes OF reason and judy
ment.
About the only significance attachable
TO the lamentahle incident is in the fact
thar the Bslgian chamber of deputies pro-

would be thousand times better that II
should not be held in Kansas City than that
Il should be held here with the result OF
bringing reproach and odium upon the COM
munity 1t is the duty OF the local executive
committee to institute a prompt and search
ing investigation. and II II shall be found that
there Is nm intention on tho part of the hotels
TO hold UP the visitors who are expected here
In July, II will then be the duty OF the citi-
zens to ask the National committee to re-
consider It's choice and select some other
place for holding the convention.
II appears that the local executive com
mittee, responding TO outside protest and
domestic rebuke. has taken active steps
10 put a reasonable curb on the rapacity
of Kansas City hotel men. This commit
tee. under threat OF having their rates
controlled by city ordinance as are hack
rates. has succeeded in forcing the no oil
cormorants TO a compromise. Still their
rates are much too high for a metropolitan
city which boasts of its ability TO enter

a matter of charity with friends whose
rolls are sufficiently plethoric to defy even
the ability OF Kansas City hotel man
to wholly commune them
A few days ago, as reported from AUS
tin, Attorney General Smith In response
to inquiry was quoted rate by a big
Kansas City hotel OF $3.50 per day for
each of a party of three. Whether this
rate was quoted after the local committee
had seen the hotel submitting 1t we have
no means Of knowing II 1t was. the local
committee has not succeeded in bringing
their hotel sharks TO their senses. At

ing the convention will not be feeced, It
should insist upon legal restraints being
imposed by their municipal government.
Then IL this can not be done, it is the
plain duty of the National executive COM
mittee to provide some other place of
meeting for the National convention. No
one would regret this more than The Post.
But Kansas City must keep faith with
its friends. We believe it will and that a

KANSAS CITY HOTEL RATES.

The whole country has generously SYM

In consequence II feels that II has tie
right. not in anger or in uufrendly spirit,
but In defense OF the wisdom OF its choice,
to demonstrate with Kansas City.
One of the important representations
upon which the National executive COM
mittee gave to Kansas City the honor and
advantage of the National convention was
that OF adequate and reasonably priced
hotel facilities, 1t was not believed either
by the gentlemen who in Its behalf be-
sought the compliment OF its selection or
by the public at large, that Kansas City
hotel men would send their rates career
ing skyward until men expecting to at

that snatched their breath away. The
first vigorous protest fled for the enlight-
