TEE CASE OF PRIVATE JAMS.

The punishment inflicted on private
Iams, of the Pennsylvania militia. for
openly approving of the attempted as
sassinatlon of Mr.. Frick, has caused con-
siderable comment and elected some ex-
pressions of disapproval and sympathy.
The disgraced militiaman threatens to
bring suit against the officers who or
dered his punishment, and 1t is possible
the matter may undergo legal investi-
CATION.
The case is peculiar, and in order to
Judge it rightly the circumstances must
be considered. The militia are at Home
stead on special duty. They are there
to enforce the law and preserve order,
and in the performance of this duty they
represent the State of Pennsylvania.
Whoever breaks the law is an enemy of
the State, and therefore an enemy of
the militia. Whoever sympathizes with
law breaker becomes thereby an enemy
of the State and of the militia, and to
that extent is guilty not merely
of gross dere!ictiOn of duty but of trea-
son to the State. The attempted assas-
sination of Frick was fragrant viola
ton of law and blow at the peace and
dignity of the Commonwealth. 1t was
stab at the cause of law and order which
the militia represent. Under such circum-
stances it would be bad enough for a
citizen to express approval OF the act,
but for a soldier OH duty. to do SO was
O fragrant violation of soldierly duty
and military law. Private Iams
shouted "Hurrah for the man that did
it," That this was a grave Offense is too
plain for argument. 1t would be absurd
to deny that Iams did not deserve pun
ishment. The only question that can
arise is as 20 the degree and kind of
punishment he deserved. To overlook
such an offense in q soldier in the serv-
ice of the State would be degrading to
the service, dishOuorable to the State.
and an insult to the cause of law
and order. The only question, there
fore, that can arise is whether Iams's
punishment was too severe. He was
strung up by his thumbs, had one side
of his head shaved. was stripped of his
uniform and drummed out of camp.
Those who criticise the punishment say
it was humiliating and brutal. 1t was
none too humiliating. The offense de-
served punishment, and it would be
difficult to conceive of any that would
not have been humiliating. Any soldier
with spark OF honor would be- humil-

elements of bad citizenship. The sluns
sands of their worst classes into Chi
cago. and the political pestilence that
breeds there is enough to poison the
whole State. The growth of these
classes means the growth of Democratic
votes. and this it is that encourages
Democrats to hope they may carry Illi-
nois. When they do it will be distinct
triumph of the lawless elements and
criminal classes.

lated by any punishment inflicted for
such an offense. The shaving of the
head and drumming out of camp were
none too severe. There is room for diff
ference of opinion as to whether the
tying up by the thumbs was too severe
or not. but the officers exercised their
own discretion. Military discipline and
military punishments are more severe
than those which prevail in civil life,
and it hardly BELTS civilians to
criticise the acts of those who are acting
under military law. ouch an offense as
that OF private Iams appears much more
heinous to a soldier than to a civilian,

THE recruiting of the army under the
present So stem of fixed stations is so
slow that the Secretary of War has or
dered that the present method of regi-
mental recruiting be made to include,
within certain territorial limits, travel
ing recruiting parties. to be composed
of an officer and a party of eight or ten
men, and to proceed from point to point,
at prescribed times, for the purpose of
enlisting men for the army. No doubt
this will have a tendency to popularize
the army and stimulate recruiting.
