Soldiers and Theaters.

If the enlisted man In uniform Is unfit by
reason of his clothes to be admitted to the
higher-priced section of a theater, why
should he be admitted to the higher-priced
cars of railroad train? If soldier can
be refused seat in the lower part OF a
theater, on account of his clothes, cannot
the management as righteously refuse ad.
mission to civilian who Is not clothed in
evening dress after o'clock?
1t is suggested that the rule against the
soldier In uniform Is based upon the fact
that such men have in the past misbehaved
In theaters. Hence the discriminat ton
against the entire class. But other men,
civilians, have grossly misbehaved in the
aters and other places of public amuse-
ment. Yet all men are not excluded on this
account. 1t Is unsafe to proceed by whole
sale on account of individual actions. TO
do so is to adopt the old fallacious sylio-
gism of the text books on logic: "Johh
Smith Is a liar; John Smith Is man;
therefore all men are liars
The soldier in uniform should be as wei
come In any place as the man In bus1-
ness suit, each being respected for the part
he plays in life and for the signs of his
self-respect and his success In his chosen
field. This is not a question regarding the
legal right Of the Individual to any place in
a theater for which he is willing to pay the
price The higher issue is whether the
soldiers exclusion from certain places Is
patriotic, whether it is faA.
1t is the common experience that enlisted
men in uniform who attend hrst-ciass
places of entertainment are well behaved.
They know that they are conspicuous by
reason of their clothes. They feel that
they are subject to more severe criticism
than the men in black coats who surround
them. They know. too, that IL they con-
duct themselves improperly they can be
identified, reported and punished. Indeed
IL all theatergoers comported themselves as
well as do the soldiers, with equal consid-
GRAFTON for the feelings and comfort Of
others, theatergoing would be more enjoy
able than 1t is occasionally at present.
