MUTUAL DISGUST.

An incident which would shock the
proprieties over here, recently occurred
in a London railway restaurant. Two
foreign ladies were lunching when an
English clergyman entered and took
a seat at the same table, and ordered a
whisky and soda as a prelude to his
lunch. The ladies expressed their opin-
ion of the bibulous parson in French,
which he did not understand. and so
was spared much modification.
Presently the waiter brought in two
black coffees for the women. One of
them pulled a cigarette case from her
pocket and the two pulled contentedly
1t was the dominie's turn to experience
revulsion of feeling, and he ordered
the waiter to remove his whisky and
soda and "fixin's" TO another table. re-
marking how repufsive IT was to him
to see women smoking. The foreign la
dies didn't understand English, so al
though the feeling of disgust was mu-
tual, the parties concerned were in
blissful ignorance of their opinion of
each other
In this country mighty few clergy
men drink whisky, and still fewer
would gulp down a drink in a public
place. but on the other side of the
ocean much liberty is allowed the cloth
in the enjoyment of worldly things. and
we suppose a little nip in the vestry be-
fore the Sunday sermon is no uncom-
mon thing.
1t is a matter for congratulation that
the women folk of the United States are
not addicted to cigarette smoking,
though it is probable we should love
'em just the same if they were
All things considered. We feel con-
strained TO back our parsons and wo-
men against the civilized world.

lie doctrine Judge Taft Immediately
sees some good in 1t, and writes to the
Republican candidate for governor. of
Kansas as follows:
I agree with you that the action of the
Republicans of Kansas as to an enabling
act by which banks in Kansas may volun-
tarily guarantee each others deposits, Is
very different from the proposition in the
Democratic platform, enforcing a tax
against all banks. by which they are in
effect TO guarantee the reckiessness and
You are certainly at liberty TO say what
/ sincerely believe. that the proposition
In the Kansas platform avoids altogether
the objection which L urged in my speech
of acceptance to the Democratic PROPOSE
ton for a national enforced insurance of
deposits In all banks
This must be taken as evidence that
Mr.. Taft is not opposed to the bank
guaranty in principle, but only TO the
compulsory guaranty. That is. while a
compulsory guaranty would put pre-
MUM upon dishonest banking and tax
the honest banker to make good the
populations of his dishonest brother.
the voluntary guaranty plan in some
occult manner would act differently. If
Judge Taft can see any difference in
the working out of the two plans, no
one else can. and ii is more than prob
able that after election he will "go the
whole hog and become a consistent
advocate of the bank deposit guaranty.
His present attitude shows the inherent
weakness of the man.

EDUCATION OF MR.. TAFT.

one OF the most amusing features of
the presidential campaign is the change
of front on the part of Mr.. Taft in the
matter of guaranteeing bank deposits.
Only short time ago he denounced
the Democratic program in unmeasured
terms, saying among other things that
it would put premium upon reckless
and dishonest banking. and would tax
the honest bankers for the benefit OF
the dishonest ones.
That was before the meeting of the
Kansas Republican convention. The
Jayhawkers having put a bank deposit
guaranty plank in their platform, diff

SLAYERS
BLOOD STAINED
CANE IS FOUND
Especial to the Evening Star.

EINELAND, Nov. 16.-Detectives
working on the killing of aged william
Read. ION the outskirts of this place,
found Reads cane In the barn on the
premises. The stick was blood
stained, which leads the police to be-
lieve that Read was first beaten in
the head with 1t inc vas shot while
struggling with his assailants. The au-
thorities have been told by John Denny
that when he passed the house at $3.50
o'clock Friday night, when the crime
was committed, he heard two shots.
Robbery was the crime motive. Sew
eral hundred dollars Read was known
to have had in his clothes was stolen
and $52,0 600 in bonds that Read vas sup
posed to have owned lave vanished.
For two years Read lived with his
daughter. Mrs. Edward Cooper, and
in that length of time, they say, he
never gave them an insight into the
extent of his fortune or his business
transactions. He was thought to be
well off financially.
