The Cadet Incident Finally Closed.
Two-the ring-leaders- expelled
and six of their mates suspended for
one year, appears to be the final out
come of the West Point hazing
episode. This serio-comedy has pro-
crossed for some weeks and the in
dividual who saw in the paper"

would see in the next issue they were
re-instated, until finally all chronic

would be hopelessly lost and even
Loeb, poor Loeb, could scarcely get
the item Of news on straight again.
However, the latest-the very latest
says that the cadets got theirs and
the pastime Of hazing has received
a quietus. And it is we'll. While it
may be little hard on the kids, who
were no worse than many Of their
predecessors had been, the line be-
tween mere boyish pranks and brutal
ity has need to be sharply drawn by
the authorities and clearly pointed out
to those whose immaturity leads them
into an abuse Of the generally accept
ed lordship Of the sophomores over
the meek and lowly fresh. F"
The psychology of the boy is some
thing anyway, which makes the mys-
terry of women, in comparison, as
simple as the alphabet The average
boy is a sweet-souled chap, who
shares his confidence, his apple~cores,
his hunks Of sticky gingerbread
freely and generously with those
whom he happens to admire; he Is
very sorry you have a tooth-ache, and
he will run his small brown legs off
in your service if you show at all the
proper appreciation Of his kindly
regard. But what a savage he is!
From mere teasing to absolute torture
he ranges in way that is appalling
to those who yearn to see the child
foreshadow the man. The II years
old Cooksey boy who derailed a train
last week, causing the horrible death
Of brave engineer Dewberry; the
young Italian who recently set fire to,

but few examples of crimes COM
mitted by mere boys that would be
iendish, if not so evidently done out
Of sheer responsibility.
Except in cases of hereditary in
sanity, the fault must lie with parents
who do not teach their little ones the
necessity Of avoiding hurt to living
creatures, whether dumb or human.

which cannot be carried on success
fully if they should be disturbed by
questions of racial supremacy Per-
haps no country in the world has
made more rapid advance along the

what well disciplined, English

ideas, will mean much for the success
or defeat of such issues as they come
before other countries.
In a way, it seems a little selfish,
yet it is necessary self-preservation
and one which we would be wise to
initiate little more. A mass of ig-
norant and venal citizens, so-called,
such as give the Black Belt it's name,

is a dead weight to progress.
The Legal Code
The American Bar Association, con-
vened in Seattle, Washington this
week, is wrestling again with the
problem Of legal ethics, yet the higher
duty Of lawyers is in nowise different
from that which devolves upon any
other set Of men. That which has
been proven to be for the best inter
ests of the race, will ever be found an
amply sufficient guide and no com
pilation Of set rules is possible or
necessary.

The settled laws of Nature and Of

Not written they, in pages Of book,
Nor were they framed today, or yes

that from the ranks of the legal
fraternity are recruited most of our
legislators should make it imperative
that they study more the claws of
Nature and of God" and throw their
influence against measures that are
unjust or oppressive, futile or insane.
A man who deals honestly with

A Gigantic Coercion.
The rumor is that the United
States Army men propose to raise, if
need be, fund of One Million Dol
lars with which to defend the Haines
brothers, murderers Of William E.
Annis. This amounts to nothing
short Of a vicious cabal to cheat jus
tice. If any Reasonable defense can
be put up ply these slayers, they are
entitled to the benefit thereof, but
when the army men lose their digni-
tyto such an extent as to pool fund
to be used in an effort to clear
"brother soldiers solely on account
Of their connection with the service,
they display that spirit Of militarism
which despises civil law and proposes
not to be bound by the courts which
are good enough for the plain peo-
pie.
If the Hains brothers were
justified in their act, it will
take any large sum of money
to demonstrate it to a fair-minded
jury. If they are so utterly without
excuse that vast sum must be raised
for "a prolonged legal battle, involv-
ing resort to every technicality

to methods even more reprehensible,

those which should go before Judge

Birmingham Strike Ended.
"The United Mine Workers of
America is a law-abiding institution.
It is a defender of law and order.
It believes in the maintenance Of the
peace and tranquility of every COM
munity.
Since the state authorities have
decided to end the strike there is
nothing for the United Mine Workers
to do but to bow in submission to the
mandates. Recognizing the futility of
continuing the strike under those cir
cumstances, we have decided to de-
clare it off September /, and take
this means of notifying you that the
strike is to be brought to an end
and you are advised to secure en-
ployment.
''No one can regret more keenly
than ourselves this ending of the

Game of Precedence.

Precedence, with its thousand grad
uations, is more discussed in Wash
ington than in Vienna or Madrid, and
in the capital of democracy where
such things are ostensibly decried,
snobbishness and struggle for social
place are marked by the abandonment
of all ideas of democracy and even
decency.
Senators and representatives laugh
at our Vanity Fair" but the question
of social precedence seems a serious
one to their wives, many of whom
are obsessed with the idea that as
each one climbs the social ladder, it
is her imperative duty to put obstacles
in the social path of the ones just
below. The game is cruel and heart
less. 1t has nothing in it of morals
or the brotherhood of man.
The new and strange standards of
royal etiquette which have been es-
tablished at Washington mean strange
and unmilitary duties for army and
navy officers, which are not only fool
ish, but abhorrent to Old-fashioned
democratic ideas.-Boston Traveller.

IMPORTANT ITEM OF NEWS.
Representatives. Care That lnforma.
ton Should Not Be CARRIED.

Representative Thomas of North
Carolina Is a sure-enough southern
statesman. He is the type. He en-
bodies 1t; is it; lives it. And having
made this fiat, unequivocal statement,
I'm pretty certain that about II other
southern statesmen will quit speaking
to me, says a writer in the Washing
ton Star.
Mr.. Thomas is a legislator. He legis-
lates in his sleep. Never does he slip a
cog and relax the strain under which
he labors. To him life is one awfully
serious grunt.
Tother day, or maybe twas t'other
week, Mr.. Thomas telephoned up to
the press gallery that he desired to
see the representative of the Evening
Star, as he had a piece of important
news to impart for publication. This
was a bit out of the ordinary, for US
ually when a southern statesman has
anything to impart in the line of per-
sonal publicity he comes around with
the goods and delivers with much
back-slapping and rib-tickling and
many expressions of regard and es.

But, anyhow, / chased down to see
Mr.. Thomas, full of anticipation and
news instinct, and sent in for him. In
the course of a quarter of an hour or
so he came out, placed his hand upon
my shoulder in a patronizing manner
and smiled seriously upon me.
Young man." he inquired, you are,
l take it, the Star representative
here?"
/ admitted it.
"You are their regular man."
yes"
"The reason I ask" continued Mr..
Thomas, "is merely that l continually
have trouble with unreliable members
of your profession. For there are many
unreliable ones, are there not?"
l pleaded guilty, being plumb
crushed.
so in order to get this item of
news just right" continued Mr..
Thomas, Il have had it written from
my dictation. You assure me that it
will not be changed?"

lection.

lima delegation, some of my leading

When l got up in the gallery again

Thomas had handed to me. And this
was the item of news it contained:

congress from the Third district OF
North Carolina, and who has been in
the house since the Fifty-sixth con.
gress, has returned to Washington

The genuine old Washington cab
driver is as unlike the New York

He sits sideswise in his little open
carriage, one leg half the time hang

enthusiastically to his passengers and
their e~dification.
He considers it a moral obligation
to know the answer to every question
that anybody's fertile imagination can

MAKE OVER LINEN SUIT.
Last Years Costume Will Do with a
Little Remodelinq.

Have YOU a last years summer suit
OF linen, white, tan, or colored, which
needs remodeling? The styles of this
year differ from those of last year by
but a few points, which it is easy to
change.
The latest idea from Paris, and one
which bids fair to take firm hold Of
the American fancy, is using colored
c%retonne for trimming. Just a touch
of it is sufficient to change an old
style suit to one which is up to date
and nobby.
If your suit is a last summers one,
all you need, probably, is a new set Of
cuffs, with one Of the new adjustable
shawl collars which can be put on
and taken off at will. Or, if the coat
has a rundown collar and mannish
revers, cut them off and finish the
front and neck edges with bands Of
the cretonne, and if the skirt needs a
lower edge with a band to match the
coat.
Probably the jacket of your linen
suit happened to be short and loose,
and has grown tight in the hips. If
So, open up the seams and slash the
coat, both front and back, to the depth
of about six inches, and finish the low
err edge of the coat with an inch wide
band of colored linen and run the
bands up along the edges where the
0 "a has been slashed to finish them.
The appearance Of the coat may be
improved by changing the buttons. Rip
off the old buttons and buy ONE but.
ton molds. Cover with cretonne and
sew on to the coat. Buttons are sewed
to dresses, coats and skirts not only
where they are needed, but also where
they are not needed, and where they
simply serve as a trimming.
