From the Kansas City Star
The peculiar personality of Cadet BooZ
has nothing whatever to do with the alb
stract question Of haZing at West Point.
The unfortunate young man does not seem
to have possessed the elements of popu-
larity to large degree, but If he was over
religious or lacking in physical courage, or
odouS to his more reckless fellow ca
diets. he has atoned for all that by consider
ately getting out Of the world. That. how
ever, does not settle the real matter at
issue. Ii still remains to be determined
whether IT is proper, at an institution sup
ported by the United States government,
for the education of soldiers and gentlemen,
to pour tabasco down the throats of under
graduates. to stand them on their heads In
water. to stuff prunes into them at the rate
of eighty-tive al sitting, or to beat them
into pulp. 1t may be assumed that a
young man as meek and moral as Booz had
no right to live, but there are other youths
of more sprightly mold and happier tenn
permanent who may desire to go to West
Point. and ii might be better all around to
establish some code of ethics among the
cadets which will define the line between
ga va gerry and ciViliZa ton.

Ex-senator Reagan of Texas is quoted
follows in reply to Mr.. Cleveland's re-
cent deiiverances on the subject of the de-
mocracys mistakes and the penalty the
party is paying for them:
Il agree with Mr.. Clevelands view that
it was mistake to attempt to combine
populism, so far as that was DONE with
democracy But Mr.. Cleveland is not in d
good position to criticise the blunders of
the democracy. In 1892, Mr.. Cleveland, as
the candidate of the democratic party. was
elected President of the United States the
main issue in that election being whether
we should have a democratic tariff for rev.
enue or a republican tariff for protection.
If he had then called Congress toger her
with a message submitting that issue for
Its action, 1t can hardly be doubted that /,
revenue tariff law would have been passed
and that the democracy would have had a
fair chance for the control of the policy of
the government for many years to come.
Instead Of doing this. In calling Congress
together he ignored the great Issue upon
which he was elected and attempted Ia
commit the democratic party to the policy
Of single gold standard Of currency. He
thus made himself responsible for the
wrecking and future defeat Of the demo-
| cratic party"
