Lieutenant j. r. Lindsay. sth Infantry
who were recently graduated at the In
fantry School at Fort Leavenworth Kan.
will be shortly tried by court-martial on
the charge of .'scandalcus conduct. 1t Is
alleged that the two officers named at their
recent examination were detected In hand-
ing in to their examining board, as their
own, military sketches which were pre-
pared by other persons. That Is to say
in army parlance, they were caught "goug-
ing" The court-martia1 order in their
cases is now being drawn up by Major Cen
eraI Brooke commanding the department
of the Missouri, in which the LeavenWorth
school is located. Official accusations
AGAINST the officers were forwarded to Chi
cago a few days ago. The court-martial
will convene at Leavenworth. Scandaious
conduct will be the charge preferred IN
each case This Is a grave charge, and II
conviction follows the sentences Will De
serious.
"Gouging' in the army, whether at West
Point or in the regular service. Is regarded
by officers as dishonoreble, and an ofncer
who Is found guilty fares hard. for mill
tary men regard nonor as among the Nigh
est qualifications of the soldier. Not IN
recent years has an army officer appeared
before a court or such a charge. 1nfre-
uuently young cadets at the Military Acad-
envy have been convicted OF gouglng.
but there are few Instances on record OF
commissioned officers being arradgned on
that or similar allegation.

K. c. Journal: There is an old gag
in Kansas which the county attorneys
never get tired of working. Let some
newspaper charge that saloons or
joints are running i'm defiance of law
and the county attorney will subpoena
the editor and endeavOr to make q
spectacle of him, as in nine cases out
of ten the editor must swear that he
knows nothing personally of the in
fraction of the law There is nothing
either smart or fair about this. A
man may know thing beyond the
peradventure of doubt, and yet be
unable to give testimony that will
stand in law. For example. every
man, woman and child in Kansas City
would be willing to stake his or her
life upon the proposition that liquor is
sold in all of the saloons of the city,
and yet there probably is not one
citizen out of ten who could go upon
the witness stand and swear to it.
At lola the other day the county
attorney subpOenaed c. f. Scott,
editor of the REGISTER, because he
had charged that saloons are running
IN Humboldt. The city collects
regular monthly fine from them and
hey are freely open to verybOdy.
But Mr.. Scott does not patrOpize them
md he was compelled to swear that
ne knew nothing at all about the law
breakers beyond common report, at
which the county attorney set up a
great pIetense of horror at a man who
would print things in his newspaper
# which he had no knowledge. In
