MEMBERS of various religious and
temperance organizations have con-
demned President Mckinley be-
cause of the continuance OF the
canteen regulation in the army.
Their demonstrations are unWar-
ranted, as the officers generally
testify that the introduction OF the
canteen proved an advantage to the
men, tending to promote 'sobrlety
instead of intemperance. In TACT
the men were restrained by Its use
and benefited in every way. Inc
testimony OF the officers should have
more weight than the supposit'ons
of persons who have no personal
knowledge whatever of the inhu-
ence of the canteen regulation.
President Mckinley is governed BY
the statements OF the officers and IS
doing what he believes to be best
for the interests OF the troops as
we'll as for the country at large.
To assail him through ignorance
or prejudice is cowardly and intel
ligent people should be ashamed to
Jump at conclusions that are not
warranted by actual occurrences.
Those whose have censured the
President should inform themselves
and do justice.

pires June 5th, but under the new
constitution his term extends until
November The Governor has been
appointing the man for this Office
but this time he will be elected.
There is everything to gain by the
Republicans uniting and sensible
men will help. Voters who pay
their own taxes don care who is
elected Senator, so he is arepresen'
tative man and would reflect credit
on the State. At the same time II

Council, proposes to break the dead
lock- The City Solicitor gave as
his opinion that Milk Inspector Nc
Willy was the only official in Office
q that was legally elected. The BIG

four and the matter has stood thu:
for over year. 1t looks now as /

their term Of office begin!

Senatorial dignity with some men
brings out the man in them, will

the poor, inflated toad. Delaware Z
REPRESENTATIVES in the L. S. Senate
have been very genial men.
