HAZING
1
ENDED
No Case Is Developed in West
Point for Months.
CREDIT DUE GENERAL MILLS
After Others Failed He Succeeded In
Breaking Up the System, for Which
Has Been Substituted a Better
Method of Discipline.
By GEORGE CLINTON.
Washington. Word has com to the
war department from West Point that
notwithstanding the fact that it holds
the largest class of new cadets which
has reported to the institution, the
members have not been hazed, either
in camp or in the barracks. For some
months there have been no develop
ed cases of hazing of the newcomers.
Recently Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills
was ordered to take command of tho
department of the gulf, with headquar
ters at Fort McPherson. Atlanta, Ga.
It is probable that the news that there
has been no hazing at West Point in
of particular Interest to General Mills.
When tho Spanish war broke out
Mills was a first lieutenaut in tho
First cavalry. He was given the rank
of captain as an assistant adjutant
general of volunteers. While on this
staff duty he was in tho thick of the
fight In front of Santiago. Ho showed
heroism that day that won him a med
al of honor, an appointment to West
Point as superintendent, with the rank
of colonel, and later a promotion to the
grade of brigadier general, a promo
tion that advanced him over the heads
of several bundled senlcr officers.
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills is the man
who broke up hazing at West Point.
The system passed bewailed by every
graduate of the academy, except the
man who gave It Its death blow. Pos
sibly way down in his heart General
MI113 was sorry that he was able to
do w.iat many a soldier before him
had failed to do, but It was a matter
of duty, and hazing was drum-headed
and driven out of the camp.
The scars of war are on .eneral
MI113. but conspicuous as was hl3 field
service, it is probable that tho fight
against the time-recognized, if not
time-honored "plebe deviling" institu
Hon, will outlive the other service In
the memory of the army and the coun
try. "Bracing" has succeeded hazing
at West Point. A plebe is no longer
asked to recite the "Psalm of Life,'
with appropriate gestures, to bis hu
miliation. and to tho delight or a
host of unconscionable yearlings, but
he gets the military end of the stren
uous life as no plebe ever got it be
fore, and the perfunctory soldier du
ties at the academy were always soul
trying and body-racking.
Others Failed to Stop Hazing.
When Albert L. Mills went to the
Military Academy as Jts superintend
ent he was only a captain, though the
position of chief of the school car
r!ed with it the temporary rank of colo
nel. The list of his predecessors at
West Point carried the name of some
of the most distinguished soldiers of
the American army. Lee, Schofiel
Howard and Merritt are four of the
names that come to the memory. Leo
could not, or did not, stop hazing. Un
der Schofteld six cadets were dismissed
for hazing in a 6lngle summer, but haz
ing went on. Merritt tried his hand at
rooting out the practice. He dismissed
a Chicago boy summarily on the
chargo of deviling a plebe sentinel, but
hazing went on.
General Howard was probably the
only superintendent that the military
academy ever had who did not believe
In his heart that a certain kind of
hazing was a good thing for the hazed.
Rich men's sons came to West Point,
the most democratic school on the
footstool, and gave evidence that they
thought they wero better than the
sons of poor men. It didn't take long
to Induce them to change their view
point. The yearlings charged It for
them. There never was the brutal haz
ing at West point that there was at
Annapolis. The sea Echool brand was
Indefensible. Howard tried to kill all
forms of hazing and failed.
Before General Mills had been in the
academy long there were several case3
f severe hazing, and, mindful of his
duty, he campaigned against an enemy
that had overcome his predecessors as
no enemy had overcome them in war
fare. Mills routed tho well-intentioned
foe, but he took care that a system of
discipline should be Installed which
would do tho regenerating work that
the better kind of hazing had done be
fore. Great Diplomatic Reception.
This Is the season of the society
whirl. It makes no difference wheth
er one is Invited or not Invited.
e cannot keep away from the
receptions and tho balls and the par
ies; that is, keep away from them
In tho sense that bo must not know
about them, for the streets are throng-
d nightly with uniformed comers and
goers and their begowned wIveB.
aughters and sweethearts. Presl-
dent'Taft has Just given the greatest
iplomatic reception ever seen in
Washington. The crowd of attend
ants was tremendous and It was a
gloriously bedecked and bedizened
gathering. It was foreign night with
an American environment. The
guests were about equally divided be
tween aliens and native born.
The diplomats are a picturesque lot
and la the main their wives and their
sisters and their daughters are beau
tiful, something which cannot be said
for all of tho diplomatic husbands,
brothers and fathers, if one looks
above tho always beautiful uniforms. J
About nine-tenths of the diplomats is
Washington are aristocrats, or think
that they are, and this amounts tc
the same thing, and a large part oi
them are titled, and those that haven't
anything in front of their names have
a string of rear titles to make up.
ine diplomatic reception was at
tended by more people than have been
at the White House on any occasion
for years, except of course on the oc
casion of the New Year's day recep
tion when the latch string bangs out
to the world.
Military Attaches a Fine Lot.
Most of the military attaches of tho
European governments do cot need
ramifications 'of uniform and equip
ment to make them physically present
able. In fact, if some of the English
men, Russians and Germans would
take off some twenty or thirty pound
of decorations, Btrlp off eighteen or
twenty yards of fur lining and take a
reef or two in their sashes those of
them who wear sashes they would
appear to a more militant advantage
Fully the half of them are magnlfl
cent specimens of manhood. It must
be that somo of the countries picli
their men because cf their physical
fitness.
There was a throng of Japanese of
ficials in the White House on tho
night of the diplomatic recention
They are small men, but they are of
perfect carriage, and, as an American
officer said recently, "they .always
havo a 'ready' look." There is no les
son In geniality which tho Japaenso
havo not learned. At any rate, this
statement is true of the Japaneso of
ficials. They are favorites In Wash
ington life. It is said of them that
It Is impossible not to like them, even
though prejudice and determination
try to have their owa way in the mat
ter. Won't Shove! Away Snow.
The Capital has had more than
its share of Enow in the last
week or two. The streets are In
a fearful condition and no one at
tempts to clean as much a. a path
along tho sidewalk abutting on his
property. The snow comes and lies
and there It stays until the sun melts
it. The government insists that
property holders keep their sidewalks
and their pavements free from dirt,
and the city ordinarily J3 beautifully
clean, but us for snow and ice. with
their attendant slipping dangers, con
gress does not seem to care a whit.
Washington Is governed by con
gress. Congress Is its mayor and its
city council. In somo ways Wash
ington is well governed; in other ways
it isn't. Every winter there is a long-drawn-out
row in the senate, and some
times in the house, over the matter of
a law to force the people to remove
tho snow from the sidewalks In front
of their residences. The law has never
passed. Once It was upon tho dis
trict statute books, but It was wiped
out never apparently to be restored.
The result Is that after a snowstorm
In Washington sidewalks are In a fear
ful etate. Only the most public-spirited
citizens clean their sidewalks. The
rest of the people wnde through their
own snow and theft neighbors' snow
and prefer the discomfort of it all to
the two minutes' exertion which it
would take to shovel the snow from
their walks.
Visitors to the state, war and r.avy
department building miss the models
of the big shipj which onco stood In
the hallways. There are one or two
models still In existence, but they are
of the smaller gunboats and they lack
the interest which attaches to the big
turreted vessels with their guns
which, even in model form, are frown
ing and savage looking enough.
No inquiry personally has been
made ns to why tho models of the
ships have been sent Into tho closet.
It may bo that the authorities did not
care to have them inspected at close
range by representatives of foreign
governments.
Army Uniform Exhibit.
In tho hallway of the army part of
the state, war and navy building there
arc wax figures of men clothed one
after tho 'other in the uniforms of the
service since revolutionary days
These wax figures are pretty well
done, inasmuch as they are not ghastly
iooking, nor "shuddery," as are some
of the wax figures that one sees la
store windows.
By far the most picturesque of the
uniforms are those which were worn
in the revolutionary days. Of course,
the uniforms shown In the war depart
ment are spick and span and made for
the show occasions. It is not at all
likely that many of the soldiers of the
revolution had such fine duds to wear
as these to be seen in Mr. Stlmson's
department. The buff and the blue
are beautiful, much more beautiful
than some of tho unlforo-s which fol
low. The riflemen of the revolution wore
deerskin on their bodies and coon
skins on their heads. Thefe uniforms
are shown with the otheru. and they
add to the plcturcsquenesi of the dis
play It must be said, however, that
the present field uniform of the Unit-
ed States troops is by far the most
comfortable and serviceable of all that
have teen used since the American
army camo Into existence
Growing Young.

TAFT FREES MORSE
ACTION IS DUE TO THE SERIOUS
CONDITION OF NEW YORK'S
EX-BANKER.
HAD MANY SINKING SPELLS
Physicians at Fort McPherson, Ga.,
Say He Is In No Immediate Dan
ger of Death Family Happy Over
Outcome.
Washington, Jan. 3!).--President
Taft has given Charles W. Morse hla
freedom. The presldent'3 action was
due to the serious physical condition
ot the former banker.
This action was taken after the
president had examined the report of
Surgeon General Torney of tho army
n Morse's condition. The conclusion
reached was that Morse's condition
was desperate. J. A. Finch,, pardon
attorney or the department of justice,
also held a long conference with tho
president.
Has Had Several Sinking Spells
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 1!). While varying
reports concerning the condition ot
Charle3 W. Morso has emanated trora
official reports to Washington and
from his friends and legal advisers, he
is practically the same as when trans
lerred from the federal prison to the
army hospital at Fort McPherson six
weeks ago. He has had several sink
ing spells which necessitated the use
cf stimulants, but according to civilian
physicians he has been In no immedi
ate danger of death, ills removal to
I let Springs, Ark., ordered last wee'.t.
was postponed on account ot his phy
sical weakness.
Son Happy Over Outcome.
Baltimore. Md., 'Jan. 1U. "That's
the host news I ever heard," said
Harry F. Morse over the telephone
here, when he was told his fattier.
Charles W. Morse, the convicted ice
king, was to be released from the fed
eral prison at Atlanta by President
Taft. Three of the Morse children,
Benjamin W., Harry F. and Miss
Anna, live on Elsinore avenue in W'al
brock. They have been here several
months, the eldest son being secretary
of the Knickerbocker Ice company in
South Baltimore.
Tho announcement of the release of
Morse wa3 a complete surprise to his
children, and all through the evening
there was rejoicing at the home. Es
pecially was It the greater surprise
coming so soon alter the announce
ment a week or two ago that no par
don would be granted the banker at
this time.
Miss Anna Morse, who is the young
est of the Morse four children, one
brother living in California, returned
from Atlanta Wednesday. She said
that her father was a physical wreck
and that his one wish was to spend
his remaining days with his family.
She said that her mother was witb
her father until a few days ago. but
had probably returned to New York
by this tlmo.
Mrs. Morse's Strong Campaign.
For almost two years Mrs. Morso
has been engaged In an aggressive
campaign toward the securing or a
pardon for her husband, i
She even went so far as xo sell her
valuable personal belongings in order
o defray the expenses of her cam- j
paign. Thousands of petitions were
circulated. They were first distrlbut-1
ed in Baltimore, where numerous
signatures were secured, and then in
other cities throughout the country.
Just what the Morse family will do
witn Mr. Morse has not been deter
mined. The probability Is that a con
lerence will be held by them In this
city within a few days, or all may go
immediately to Atlanta.

Dueling Is a survival from the an
cient Judicial combats which were at
their height in tho middle ages. The
first formal duel among English
speaking peoples was In 109G. France
seems to have been the land in which
the "code" had its most flourishing"
times. From France the practice
passed over to England, and, from
England it came over to America. In
the early days of our country duels
were quite common, but since Burr
kllled Hamilton the practice has been
steadily on the decline. It is today a
very rare thing for a duel to talte
place In any civilized land, and in the
United State3 the foolish custom is
practlcally extinct.
"The Intellectuals."
"In our democracy, whero every
thing else is so shifting, we alumni
and alumnae of the colleges are the
only permanent presence that corre
sponds to the aristocracy in other
countries. We have continuous tradi
tions as they have; our motto, too, is
noblesse oblige; and. unlike them, we
stand for ideal interests solely, for we
have no corporate selfishness arid
wield no powers of corruption. We
ought to have our own class-consciousness.
Lea Intellectuels! What proud
er club name could there be than
this one!" William James in "Memo
lies and Studies."
Simple Question.
"What is the difference," asks the
man with the dispirited whiskers and
the keen eye, "between a girl "with a
clothespin on her nose, and one whose
little brother is quarantined because
of a disease incident' to childhood,
which is characterized by an eruption
of the skin?" "To avoid argument,"
sighs the man with tho rectangular
Adam's apple, "what is the differ
ence?" "One'3 brother is measled, the
other'8 breather is muzzled." And afar
down tho glen arose the mournful cry
of a loon lamenting its lost love. Chi

Modernized.
"That ctory of the building of tho
Tower of Rabel should be modern
ized." "But how would you account
for the confusion of tongues?" "Why,
I supese they had the tower pretty
nearly up and then somebody yelled
'Graft!' and everybody accused every
body tlse and the job was held up!"
One of the Mysteries.
"The railroad business is pretty
complicated." "Yes," replied the trav
eling ii;an. "I don't suppose I ever
will bi able to understand why two
towns ihtit look so close together on
a railway map get so far apart when
they come to measure up the distance
with a mileage book."
Shutting Out Sound.
"Why do so many of you classio
musicians wear such very long hair?"
asked the inquisitive girl. "So tfiat
we can comb it down over cur ears
in case anybody play3 ragtime."
DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS
"Some tlmo ago I was taken vita
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. It began with scales on my
body. I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. I wa9
greatly disfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as if they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered
untold agony and pain. I tried ,
doctors who said I had eczema in Its
fullest stage, and that It could not
be cured. I then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, I tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedfes.
which cured me of eczema when all
elso had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.
"I suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am now entirely cured
and I believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there i3." (Signed)
Miss Mattie J. Shaffer. R. F. D. 1, Box
8, Dancy, Miss., Oct. 27, 1910.
"I had suffered from eczema about
four years when bolls began to break
out on different parts of m7 body. It
started with a fino red rash. My
back was affected first, when it also
spread over my face. The itching was
almost unbearable at times. I tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help mo until I began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One box of thcra cured me entirely. I
recommended them to my sister for
her baby who was troubled with tootn
eczema, and they completely cured her
baby." (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marber
ger, Drehcrsvllle, Ta., Sept. C, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will bo
mailed free on application to "Cuti
cura,," Dept. L, Boston.
