NAVAL CADET PARDONED
Saw Dismissal is Too Great a Pun
ishment.
The President Declares That Naval
Cadets Shouldn't Be Court
Martialed.

Washington, D. Cine President
made public a copy of a letter which
he addressed on February l to the
Chairmen of the House and Senate
Committees on Naval Affairs on the
! subject of hazing at.the United States
Naval Academy. In it he said:
II have directed that a pardon be
issued to John Paul Miller. a midship-
man at the United States Naval Acad-
envy. recently convicted of hazing and
sentenced to dismissal from the acad-
envy. In the discussion of this case
my attention has been called forcihly
to the unsatisfactory condition of the
law on this subject.
"a m%idshipman accused of hazing.
| whether the extent of his offense be
| great or small, must be tried BY court
! martial. The findings Of such a court,
if approved by the superintendent OF
| the academy. are declared final and
cannot be revised by the Secretary or
the Navy. or even by me, and neither
the court itself nor the superintendent
nor the Secretary of the Navy has any
discretion as to the punishment 10
be imposed. ,
at is declared that in all cases Of
conviction the offender shall be dis
missed and be ineligible for appoint
ment as a commissioned officer of the
Army. Navy or Marine Corps during a
speciied time. These provisions OF
law seem to me neither just nor jul
dicious, and I am seriously concerned
at the injury which I fear may be done
to the discipline Of the academy. ana
even. to the future efficiency OF the
Navy if they are permitted to remain
in force without amendment.
Il heartily disapprove of the prac-
flee of hazing and in common with all
those interested in the welfare Of the
academy wish to see this practice
thoroughly eradicated there. But the
punishment Of dismissal is altogether
disproportionate to the cuipaDlllty IN
yolyed in some forms Of hazing. In
mapy cases these amount to nothing
more than exhibitions Of boylSh mis-
chief attended with no consequences
| OF n moment to those hazed and In
! dicating on the part Of the hazers only
some ex%uberance of animal spirits.
Enthusiastically they ought to be
punished, for under any circumstances
hazing constitutes q breach of the rules
and the future officers of our Navy
| must be taught first of all and as q
foundation for all other merits strict
and unquestioning obedience. But to
punish these faults Of youth by De.
priying the young man CONCERNED OF
his career in life is to commit a glaring
Injustice. Moreover, it frequently de-
feats the object Of the law itself by
causing the offenders fault to be for-
gotten in the sympathy felt for MS
misfortune SC that it becomes hard TO
get a conviction, and when one is 3D.
tanned the pressure is very great on
Congress to pass a law restoring the
offender.
I'm addition this disproportlonafe
punishment of what may be a trivial
offense may result in deprivlnS the
Government Of a promising officer on
whose education it has already eXpend-
ed several thousand dollars

OVER SEA HABIT
Difference on This Side the Water.

The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but result
In the grayest conditions. in time.
Each attack Of the drug land that
means each cup Of coffee weakens the
organs a little more, and the end Is
almost a matter of mathematical DEM

Western State:

natural that l should learn at a very
early age to drink coffee. Until l was
twenty-three years old 1 drank scarcely
anything else at my meals.
"a few years ago l began to be af-
:ected by a steadily increasing nervous
cess, which eventually developed into
q distressing heart trouble that made
me very weak and miserable. Then,
some three years ago, was added
asthma in its worst form. My suffer-
ings from these things can be better
imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than I did that
coffee was injurious to me, and made
every effort to make me stop.
"Finally it vas decided a few months
ago to quit the use Of coffee absolute

our hot table drink. ] had but little
idea that it would help me, but con-
scented to try it to please my husband.

cording to directions, and was delight
ed with its delicious flavor and refresh
ing qualities.
"Just so soon as the poison from the
coffee had time to get out of my system
the nutritive properties Of the Postum

+" Dover Chests" in Demand.

The "dower chest" as a gift for the
newly betrothed bride is growing in
favor and antique shops in the country
are being searched for the old carved
chests Of Virginia and Massachusetts
pioneers. Some persons with money
to spare are sending agents to Europe
to find the real antiques. such as figure
In historical pictures. The dover chest
of carved oak, with massive bands of
brass, would be loved by every pros
pective bride. Some chests are Of gen.
erous proportions, and if they are filed
with rare embroidered silks, cashmeres
and fine linens, as was the old custom.
their value will be enhanced very ma
terially in the brides eyes. 1t may be
significant, or it may not, but among
the gifts that the Empress Of China
gave to Miss Roosevelt was a chest of
scented wood, carved with dragons and
other emblems and bound with ham
mered brass.

RussIa's Now Minister OF Marine.

Admiral Birileff brings a ROBUST dis
position to his rev task. He is a roll
licking salt, with a Homeric stammer,
a practical Joker like Lord Charles
Beresford. Stories about him are
numberless. Here is one: When Ad-
miral Shestakoff was in power he
passed a rigorous rule that his young
officers must not bankrupt themselves
buying boquets for visiting royalties.
The Empress was to visit a ship on
which Birileff served. As Her Males
ty descended to the cabin a huge bo-
quet Of flowers mysteriously appeared
on the table, and delighted royalty at
once took possession Of it. Admiral
Shestakof saw the mass Of fragrant
blossoms in the imperial hands. and
turned furiously to his officers:
"Did I not give orders that no one
must present howers?
"N-nobody did" stammered Birileff;
"s-she t-took it hers-self!"- Charles
Johnston, in Herper's Weekly.
