Fine Stretch of Track.

Atchison, June 16.-The Missouri Pa

steel rails have been put down, the
track rock ballasted and dressed with
Joplin gravel, and if the new electric

Detailed reports Of the manner in
which the American troops at Manila
fought the fires everywhere set by in
cendiaries last month and late in Feb
ruary have reached this country and
show another aspect Of that all.
round ability which has so aroused
the admiration Of every foreign OBJ
server OF the war, When it was
known that the chief dependence Of
the United States in the war with
Spain was to be placed on the volun-
teers, the remarke OF foreign officers
while in no way discouraging to the
Americans, were to the effect that no
nation could take hundreds Of thou
sands Of men from the plough, the
workshop, the factory, the bench, the
store, the counting room and the Of
fce, and make efficient fighters to
meet .he trained men of even the
Spanish army.
But In this estimate one thing was
overlooked. That was the effect OF
American institutions and American
life on the men who make up half the
population; the absence Of class here
the lack OF hereditary employment OF
vocation, the necessary independence
and an initiative that every man must
use in greater or lesser degree. In
the United States the plow boy OF to-
day may be the president a quarter OF
a century hence. the smith at the
forge may be the governor Of state
But whether or not they make these
advancel in the scale of public promi-
nenee they are always something
more than men capable Of nothing
save a single line of work. The plov
boy is a gardner, a stockman, and
the smith is a machihist and a wagon
maker. What is true Of them is true
OF every American.
Thus 10 has come that there have
been found men in every regiment
not alone splendid hShters with a
large degree OF initiative ald indomit-
able courage, but capable OF doing
anything else that is put for their so
luton. 1t matters not whether it is

pairing and running locomotives OF

The opinion OF the attorney general
thk. the recent act Of congress which
was meant to abolish the cantcen in
connection with the post exchange
prohibits merely the assignment Of an
enlisted man to duty at the canteen
will raise once more the question Of
the desirability OF the institution. As
in the past, II will find an exact oppo-
sition of opinion. Army officers have
contended for a long time, or since the
authorization Of the canteen, that the
restrictions thus put upon liquor sell
ing and the control over it in the
vicinity Of posts has resulted in re
duction in the number of cases OF
drunkenness. on the other hand, the
advocates Of temperance have asserted
that this governmental sale Of liquor
has had baueful effect, The greatest
ground for opposition 10 the canteen
came from the employment OF soldiers
themselves TO dispense the liquor that
has been sold This, however, has
been removed and IL must now lee
civilian behind the counter.
The facts brought out by this plain
failure Of the intent Of congress are
interesting as showing how difficult ii
Is 20 reach a thing that has the en-
dorsement of bureau or department
OF the government. The work that
will now go on against the canteen
will find the conditions freed from the
fact OF government paying wages to
men employed in dispensing drinks,
and insofar forth the canteen may be
looked into In the clear light Of what
army officers claim for il, as being
something shat regulates the drink
habit when they are not able 10 en-
