West Point Ethics. ‘
The revelatior of brutality commii-i
ted by upper class men ad West Point |
upon these of lower classes, as brought !
to light by the congressional investiga
ting committee,certainly place that in
stitution in an unenviable position be
fore the American people. There is
now and has been for yeass past some
thing wrong with the morals of these
eadets. Though the «durriculum has
been raised and the methods of instrue
tion improved so that the academy now
produces a more finished scholar per
haps than it did formerly, yet it is to be
feared that the gentlemanly and chris
tian qualities of its graduates have
greatly = deteriorated. A Stonewall
Jackson or an O. 0. Howard would be
an impossible product of today.
Of course, there are many honorable
exceptions, and Tam glad to {say that
our Marietta representative is one of
them, but as is well known, the aver
age West Point graduate is far from
being what was known in the olden
times as a ‘‘high-minded, chivalrous
gentleman.” True, he has an artificial
polish, imparted by the-ball room,
whigh gives him the outward appear
ance (at Jeast in society) of true gen
tility, but a close examination will
show him to be only a “filled,” or
‘‘plated’’ or ‘‘veneered’’ article. Every
body who have been thrown much in
the society of West Point graduates,
whom they did not consider worth eul
tivating knows thisjto be a fact. No
matter how humble thesocial "position
a young man ‘may oceupy before enter
ing the academy, as soon as he emerges
therefrom he becomes imbued with all
the pride and hatuer of an aristocrat
“to the manor born,” which with his
shallowness and pretentiousness ren
ders him perfectly unbearable.
Army life for which the West Point
cadet is prepared, is an grtificial one.
A nomadicexistence like this is a bar to
the purifying and ennobling influence
of home life which is really the only
natural state of man, and generally the
only one that will develop the highest
type of mankind. If what we read in
newspapers coneerning American men ‘
of blood, and what we read in the
works of Kipling respecting those of
Britain is true, the profession of arms
is renlly a barrier to civilization. Speed
the day when because of a want of war
there shall be no more warriors. e
Colonel Mills, the superintenden* of
the academy, refused, it will be re
membered, to cause an investigation to
be made into the alleged hazing to
death of Cadet Booz, sayingthat that
young man, after being ‘‘called out,”’
had Yeen whipped in a fair fight and
consequently no rules of the academy
had been broken. It will thus be seen
that the saperintendent places him-

defending fighting and other bru

the cadets have solemnly promised
never to engage again in the latter
practice, Colonel Mills’ influence

The recruiting officers are gquite busy
in this state endeavoring to secure
more food for bullets, disease, insanity
aud hardships in the Philippine islands,
to take the place of that supply, or
what is left of it, which, having served
its purpose will be sent home. i
It is tobe hoped thHat very few, if
any, will aid this governmentfin the un
righteous war which it is wagiog against
the Filipinos. Comparatively few wars
in the history of the werld involved
such great principles as to make it the
duty of the citizen to lay down his life,
if needs be, for his country. The war
in the JPhilippines is eceftainly not one
of the number. Why should you go to
those far away islands to help force
into subjeation their inhabitants? For
movey? You ought te de.better in
Georgia than to make your board and

pay of $l6 per month. Fer exgitement

a public man may be so independent in
politics as to oppose the wishes of his

was s candidate for re-election on a
platform at variance with the wishes
of the vast majority of his constituents
and was re-elected, Just as with Sens
