ROOSEVELT GLAD OF IT
He Approves the Punishment Of Lieu
tenant Roy 1. Taylor.

Washington, Feb. Elm a letter to
Secretary Taft, President Roosevelt de-
clares that the uniform of the enlisted
man of the army or navy is a badge of
honor" and that it entities the wearer
ito peculiar Consideration.
Secretary Taft transmitted the pro-
ceedings of the court martial Of Lieu
tenant Roy I. Taylor, who was reduced
twelve files for unbecoming conduct
toward an enlisted man of his COM
mand. A sergeant of his company oc-
cupied a seat at a theater in front of
Taylor. At the latter's request or di-
rection, the sergeant moved to another
part of the house. The court martial
followed. The presidents letter fol-
lows:
I'm my judgment Lieutenant Taylor
committed one of the most serious
faults which any officer can commit.
am glad that he was reduced twelve
files. 1t is a pleasure to record the fact
that his offense was altogether eXcep-
tional in the body to which he belongs;
ever been guilty of similar misconduct.
There is no body of men in this
country of similar size which merits so
well of the country as the body of Off
GERS and enlisted men in the army and
navy of the United States. Not only
should the country as a whole jealousy
guard the interests of these men and
regard their honor as being identified
to a peculiar degree and in a peculiar
sense with its own, but the members Of
the body should themselves feel the
same jealous eagerness to uphold the
honor and standing of all connected with
it. Above all, this should be the object
of the officers as regards the enlisted
met
THE more civilized a nation is. the
more honestly DESTROYS is it Of securing
peace, the greater should be the care
with which il fosters and encoura ges
the preservation of the military virtues
among its citizens; and in 10 way car
lutte effort to secure proper recognition
for the enlisted men of the army and
navy.
The uniform of the enlisted man is a
badge of honor 1t entities him to pc
culiar consideration It shows that in
the great majority of cases he has learn
ed the habits of self-restraint of self
command, of obedience and of fearless
ness in the face of danger. which put
him above most of his fellows who have
not possessed similar privileges. To
strive to discriminate against him in
any way is literally an infamy. for it
is in reality one of the most serious Of
lenses which can be committed against
the liability and greatness Of our ma
ton If a hotel keeper or the owner. of
q theater or any other public resort
attempts such discrimination everything
possible should be done by all good cftf-
zens to make the man attempting it feel
the full weight of Just popular resent
ment. and If possible legal PROCEEDINGS
should be token against him. As TOR the
commissioned officers, It both is and
must be their pride alike to train the
enlisted man how to do his duty and
to see that the enlisted man who does
his duty is held in honor and respect"

MICHIGAN WILL PLAY.
AbandOns Training Table But Football
VIII Continue.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Feb Sat a ses-
sion lasting into the night the Universe
ty of Michigan senate last night voted
practically unanimously to retain Coach
Yost for the Michigan football eleven
regardless of the recommendations of
the recent Chicago football conference
which declared against professional
coaches who were not faculty members
There was no great controversy over
this question. Yost having a contract
running four more years. The proposal
made by the University of Chicago that
football be abolished for two years was
defeated by a decisive vote It was de-
cided to accept the Chicago conference
recommendation for a three years eligi-
bility rule. but at the University of
Michigan the rule is not to be retro
active, that is, it will not apply to stu
dents who entered college under the
former conditions. This ruling of the
senate will save Captain Curtis, Garrels
Barlow and Schultz. who, have been in
athletics three years and would have
been ruled out under the Chicago rec
concentrations.
A determined fight was started in
favor of retaining the training table,
but having won out on its principal con-
tentions the opposition did not press
its advantage and the rule to abolish
training tables was endorsed as were
also the remaining recommendations of
the Chicago conference.
