IKE IAW A. 10 HAZIAG.

Congress will soon be confronted with
situation. growing out Of the dismissal
from West Point OF seven cadets for the
hazinc of Cadet Sutton. which will pre-
sumably appeal 10 many OF its members
- demanding legislative action restor-
ing 10 the Military Academy some, at
least. OF the men dismissed. IL VIII be
urged that the penalty of dismissal was
IN some ca ses too severe a punishment
for the breaches Of discipline committed
and that four army officers who const-
tuted a board 10 ascertain the facts rec
commended undoubtedly ultra Uires. that
the cadets should not be dismissed.
There is little doubt that a strong effort
will be made 10 undo the action OF the
War Department. and yet by such
course Congress will be striking blow
az discipline and in large measure nulli
firing it's own efforts TO stamp out the
practice Of hazing at the Military and
Naval academies.
Tho fact is that Congress. determined
20 wire out the practice Of hazing. en-
acted a law under which in some cases
penalties arc inflicted which naturally
appeal 30 many OF IFS members as calling
for remedial action. Suspecttng that IL
lacked the sympathy of the officers OF
the regular establishment in It's desire 10
stamp out hazing. Congress provided by
statute the penalty of dismissal for every
cadet o. midshipman who should be
found guilty Of participating in. encour-
aging or countenancins' hazing, thus
wholly depriving not only ali officers. but
even tie secretaries Of the Army and the
>arv Of discretion in the imposition OF
The penalty.
The tendency OF such a law is 10 de-
feat IFS own purpose. Officers who
know fhat any recognition Of hazing IN
even 6 comparatively trivial form must
DO followed 10y dismissal Of the men in
VOWED mar be tempted 10 disregard the
strict terms OF the statute when such
breaches are observed. In firn. when

sponsibllity Of maintaining discipline. the

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

At the Court Theatre at Darmstadt
Christmas play in five acts, entitled 'Boni
facius,' was performed a few weeks ago.
The plot is laid in the Black Forest; the
time the eighth century. The subject
treated is the conversion OF the heather
by Saint Boniface. The play was well re
ceived and il now becomes known that the
author, the bills as Z. Mann, is the
Grand Duke OF Hesse, who is hailed by
the German press the latest recruit TO
the ranks of royal drama fists.

Pardon.

Because, it is understood, of the at-
tacks made by camps of the Grand
Army Of the Republic on the placing
of the Lee statue in the Hall of Fame
in washington, the Society of the
Army Of the Potomac will not hold lis
proposed meeting in Richmond. IL mas
been determined to meet at Sharps-
burg. Md, near the battlefield of An
tietam.
Governor Mann is in receipt of a
letter from General Horatio G. King,
the president of the society, conveying
the information that no meeting VIII
be held in Richmond this year.
Rightly or wrongly. II is belieVea
that the officers of the society ara
afraid that some feeling has been
stirred UP in the South because OF tho
attitude of certain camps of Northern
veterans toward the Lee statue.
The Society of the Army of the Poto-
mac is composed of the flower oil the
survivors of the army of Grant, and
is understood to contain much high
er personnel than is found in many OF
the Grand Army organizations.
