Rebellion Against Discipline.

1t is a serious condition that confronts
the Superintendent of West Point Mill
tary Academy. the more so, perhaps, that
the War Department has notified him that
he must himself accept the responsibility
for the state of affairs that exists, and
must put down the rebellion that has
started. In one way the whole thing
sounds like a schoolboy prank, but In
another aspect 1t goes TO the very root Of
the question OF military discipline. The
West Point cadets are not sehooIboys.
but men; men who In a very short time
will be officers IN command of troops;
officers who viii have TO enforce disci-
pline on those under them and who, In
time of war, If one OF their subordinates
refuse 10 obey an order. might sen
tence him TO death ofhand. No one is
TT 10 rule who has not learned the value
of obedience and submission 10 consti-
tuted authority.
We can imagine that It Is comparatively
easy for an instructor at West Point 10
get himself disli1ed by any Of his classes.
In the present case it seems the officer
against whom the cadets have instituted
their conspiracy is a somewhat strict dis
ciplinarian; when he gives an order he
expects it-as he has right toto be
obeyed. Certain orders Capt. Rufus E.
Longan,. tactical officer, gave were not
obeyed, and those who failed were pun
ished. At once he became unpopular. and
when he entered the mess hall all talk
ceased; ne was treated to the conspiracy
Of silence. The cadets were sent TO their
quarters and then to bed, supperless. At
the next morning meal the same tactics
were repeated. and when remonsrance
had no avail the whole cadet corps was
placed under arrest and confined 10 quar-
tiers, studies ceased. and something very
like a deadlock was brought about.
II has been suggested that the whole
cadet body at West Point shall be ex-
PEELED and compelled to return 10 their
homes. But so radical a step as this will
probably not be taken until every other
method has been tried. In the meantime.
the news OF this unique and disgracefuI
strike OF the lads has gone out all over
the country, and we may expect that the
cadets. as individuals. will begin 10 re-
eeive some rather striking and forceful
kilograms and letters from their parents,
who will hardly be willing 20 see their
sons throw up promising and patriotic
career just for sehoolboy folly.
But one thing is certain. that out Of this
episode the country at large cannot allow
the West Point cadets to emerge with
any shadow Of victory. Punishment there
must be, and the whole cadet body must
be made to feel the disgrace which they
have brought not only on themselves. but
on the nation. 1t could hardly be endured
that we should have 10 think of the
United States army Differed by men who
could display the spirit of insuboFdina-
ton these cadets are displaying An
army so Differed would be worse than
useless. In some manner, by some
means-and the country will not be too
particular as 10 how severe the means
are-these young men must be brought
10 time. must be taught that the first
duty Of a soldier is obedience TO authority.
