KANsAs CITY MANNERS.

At the luncheon given to the Colonel
by the Kansas City Commercial Club
on Thursday, the Colonel drank a
toast to the President--he could not
help it-but Immediately after this
toast was offered, in which every ono
Joined, according to the Press reports,
another toast was offered to the
Colonel as "rhe First Citizen of the
United States" We suppose the
Colonel also drank to that sentiment;
he could not very well help 1t, in view
of his sincere regard for the person
in whose honor 1t was offered. How
ever that may be. the incident must
be accepted as indicating the Kansas
City idea of good manners. If a toast
had been drunk to "the distinguished
guest of the Commercial Club" or
something like that, no fault whatever
could have been found with it, but to
offer toast to THE First Citizen
of the United States" Immediately ar
ter toast was drunk, as custom re-
quired, to the President Of the United
States was an exhibition of Western
manners. for which no possible expla-
nation can be made, except that the
Kansas City people wished in this way
to deliberately insult the President,
who is acknowledged everywhere as
the first citizen of the United states"
While the Colonel is on his present
tour, being a man of large experience
and of gentle breeding himself, he
should give the mob in the West some
lessons In the art of decent behavior

MIR. BARNES. or NEW york.

Mr.. Barnes, of New York, said last
night that "hysteria has run riot
through this country" and that "the
question to be decided at the coming
Republican state Convention at Sara
togo is whether the Republican party
will fight the disease or succumb in
the interests of politicians seeking Of
fee or temporary acclaim" Mr..
Barnes has accurately diagnosticated
the state OF the Union, and we think
that he has fairly stated the leading
issue to be decided by the convention
at Saratoga.
The fact that Mr.. Barnes belongs to
much discredited faction Of a
thoroughly discredited party does not
detrnct from the exactness of his aim,
and while we should not care to fol-
low Mr.. Barnes, generally speaking,
we are inclined to the view that there
Is less for the people of New York
to lose by following bad men who
do not deny their political wickedness
than by training with the pharisees, and
especially the chief of the tribe, who
have always heretofore made use Of
the rascals for their purposes. We
hope that the Old Guard will make
their fight to the end Better the Old
Guard than the eminent deserter
from their ranks. who makes long
prayers to be seen of men.

MIR. TAFT AND THE SUPREME
COURT,

When Mr.. Taft appointed Judge
Lurton, of Tennessee, and Governor
Hughes, of New York. Justices of the
United States Supreme Court, the Hon.
William Jennings Bryan protested
vigorously against their selection. Mr..
Taft took notice of the matter in a
speech that he made at st. Louis. in
which. referring to the cant OF the
demagogues.' he said:
That court was constituted to pre-
serve the rights of the people and the
rights Of the individuals against the
people themselves whenever In the
heat of emotion or temporary aberra-
ton they enacted measures which de-
prived the Individual of his Just
rights under the Constitution Hence
1T Is that to me, lawyer, the Supreme
Court of the United States is the most
sacred thing that we have in this Cow
eminent, that the appointment of men
to that bench Is the highest and most
sacred function that the Executive has
to perform.
Moved by the recent seditious utter
ances Of the Colonel, the New York
World thinks If Mr. Taft believed it
to be his duty as Chief Magistrate OF
the nation to defend the United States
Supreme Court from Mr.. Bryan's cr1ti-
cisms, in how much greater measure
Is 1t his duty to defend the Court from
Mr.. RooscVelt's wanton attack 1t
is not necessary, however, for Mr..
Taft to add one word to what he said
at the time of Mr., Bryan's attack on
his appointment of Lurton and Hughes.
HIS best answer VIII be the men he
shall select to hllathe vacancies caused
by the death OF Chief Justice Fuller
and the retirement of Associate JUS
tice Moody now awaiting his action
1t may be assumed safely that he will
not confer with the Colonel about these
appointments. and that he will not be
moved by tho clamor OF the cow-ring,
or the demands of the mob, or tho
capers of our modern Catalina to name
men who Sin the heat of emotion or
temporary alteration" would be likely
