Him to the Richmond Virgin
ian-=>Auother Hazing
Case.

There developed yesterday in the
case of alleged V. NJ. ]. hazing which
has been said to have caused the death
last week of Cadet Thurber Sweet,
of Chicago. the appearance of COM
munication from Mr.. and Mrs. Meade
A. Love, of Quincy. Fla, whose son.
J. ]. Love, aged seventeen, was, they
declare, severely beaten with broom
sticks and bayonets and much humili-
ated by the cadets. So serious was
the hazing of their son, they say, that
they went to Lexington, investigated,
found their sons complaint true, and
withdrew him from the institution.
Cadet Love was withdrawn by his par
ents on September 81, eighteen days
before the experiences, ALLEGED by young
Sweet before his death, were encount-
cred.
That the parents of Cadet Sweet do
not believe the reports of hazing and
that they hold nothing against the in
stitution. its officers. faculty or student
body is shown by letter received
by Superintendent Nichols. This let
ter aupltfies the statement teiegraphed
by Sweets father to The Nirginian
Tuesday in which Mr.. Sweet declared

all to V. NJ l." Mr.. Sweets letter TO
General Nichols was as follows

Please accept from Mrs. Sweet and
myself our most heartfelt thanks and

for us. This thought will also GO to

you IL means everything.

CANT HANDLE
That STUFF

Not long ago fellow citizen step
ped into saloon and took a couple
of glasses of beer. He says that he
was hugely amused at the lamenta,
tions going on among the customers
over the prevalent legislation against
the saloon business. They believed
that stiff attack was being made on
their personal liberties.
And this thought, he says, came
into his mind:
I've men in that room we're, rough
ly speaking, of two classes, namely,
those who "can handle" liquor, and
those who can't. The closing of sa.
looms infliets no great hardship on
those who 'can handle their wares |;
and il confers very large benefit
upon those who can't handle them
and also upon their families. t.
1.-The first class, in truth, may be
deprived of a liberty, almost value
less at best. But the benefit confer.
red on the second class is so great
that those of the first class ought to
be willing to give up their liberty to
produce the benefit.
And who of the first class is sure
that he may not some day find him.

PHILIPPINES NO
PLACE FOR man
LIKE I.E. ENRIGHT

The fact that he failed to cot
ton" to a few of the Filipino patri-
OTIS who at present are in high favor
with the administration, is given as
the cause for the retirement of John
E. Enright as assistant director OF
civil service in the Philippines, which
position recently was abolished by
the present administration. Enright
passed through Honolulu as a passen.
ger in the Chiyo Maru, leaving for
the coast today.
Enright's retirement terminated an
active and eventful career in the
Philippines, which extends more than
Is years. He first went to the Philip
pines in October. 1900, as a private in
NJ Company, 5th U. S. Infantry, and
served with that regiment in north
ern Luzon in the movement which re-
suited in the surrender of the late
director of lands, Gen. Tinio. Later
he was appointed clerk in the office Of
the civil service board and rose rap
idly through all the grades to that Of
chief clerk
Upon the retirement of Gen. James,
F. Smith In 1899, to whom he was pri-
vate secretary, Mr.. Enright was ap-
pointed assistant director Of civil SER
vice. His friends declare that he
was too honest, square and impartial
to cope with present-days politics in
the Philippines ~ -
