Editor Morning Journal Courier:
In an editorial In last Wednesdays
Jourral-Courier unmeasured condem-
nation Is poured out because a guards
man at Plum Island, to whom indul-
gence In pleasure loving proclivites
meant far more than discipline and
personal honor as soldier, had been
shot in trying to sneak back into camp
after having attended dance without
first having obtained the necessary
leave of absence.
Instead OF condemning the shooting
1t should be a source of satisfaction
that there was a man on guard who
placed faithfulness to the service above
his personal feelings, He was ordered
to shoot and he obeyed That Is disci-
pline. No organization can exist with
out discipline and least Of all the army.
1t Is the foundation absolute.
A soldiers occupation is serious bus
mess and not play A soldier who
chafes under discipline and who Is
ready to ignore orders from his superb
ors In order to crafty his appetite and
to follow his own personal tendencies
instead Of adding to the strength of
the organization becomes q menace, a
disintegrating force capable of doing
incalculable harm and as such should
be destroyed
1t is to be regretted that the name Of
the man who placed the Interest of the
service higher than comradeship was
not made known. He is a son OF whom
Connecticut may we'll be proud and of
whom can be said what Kipling said
OF Lieutenant Carlin, U. S. ~, at the
time Of the Apia disaster: "Wallah. He
was man."
Some of the saddest chapters in the
history of the American army have
been the consequence Of self-assertion
in direct opposition to orders This
particular man disoheyed orders and
the punishment fell on him alone. Well
and good. Custer ignored the orders
in his regiment had to forfeit his life
as a consequence. Such is the price of
lack Of discipline.
Having always found that your
! sense of right and wrong is keen and
that the foundation of your judgment
have ever been principles instead of in
cidents 1t is only fair that should say
that do not believe the editorial II
question to have been written by you
and that in the rush Of the Yale Com
mencement activities II altogether es'
capped your notice.
1t is a serious affair when a moliel
Of public opinion like The Journal
Courier becomes contaminated with
Ideas that strike at tho very founda
lions Of our national defence. Had thu
| article in question been simply an or
binary communication. II would have
merited very little attention. but ap
pearing as an editorial In a paper o
the standing of The Journal-Courier, /
assumes a different aspect and oanno
be Ignored.
II is not for reader TO say wha
should or should not be printed In you
honored paper, but think II is ques
tionable policy to open the edtoria
columns to the effusions of senti
ment-mongerng anarchist.
