From Harpers weekly.
AT Fort sheridan. near Chicago, six
nOn-cOmmsSioncd officers have been
reduced to the ranks for running what
IS technically known as a blind pig
or unlawful cantCcn. When the mon
glWmbled that they were doing no
more than III. commissioned officers
did. Colonel Whitehall, il seems, dis
CloFed with some emphasis that what
vas meet for officers in the post club
house was moi necessarily proper for
priyatcs in quarters. The papers say
that he said TO put the private
on the same footing as the commits
stoned officer would be ruinous to dis
c,plinc. We must have caste IN the
army just as there is caste in outside
society. We have the same class dis
tinctions. and without them we could
have no discipline"
Colonel Whitehall's sentiments arc
sound enough, but if he was quoted
accurately. he was not fortunate in
his methods of expressing them. Mil
i'ary law gives officers privileges
which privatca do not share. II ere

purposes, though whether it formally
gives officers larger liquor privileges
than it gives 10 privatCs is arguablc.
But in outside society American law
recognizes no caste and no class dis
tinCtiOns.
