PROBLEM OF THE cANTBBN.

The following is an extract from a
recent letter of VIM Il. Curtis to the
Chicago Record:
In reply to an inquiry from Charles
A. Quick of Danville, ILL.,, 1 would say
that the difference between President
Mckinley and the prohibitionists is
purely n of judgment. Both deplore
the evil of incompetence in the army
as we'll as in the world at large. Pres
ident Mckinley, accepting the advice
and information of the best officers in
the army, believes that the soldiers
cannot be prevented from drinking.
AS General Sherman told Mrs. Hayes
when the same question came up twen-
ty years ago, "You cannot get all the
cardinal virtues in a soldier for sl3 IL
month";" Assuming, therefore. that it
is impossible to prevent soldiers from
drinking, the c%anteen, so-called, is con-
sidered the best method of regulating
the evil. 1t furnishes the soldiers an
| attractive place of resort, enables them
to purchase beer and ssoft drinks
Cbnt not whisky, tobacco and cigars,
and the profits on the sale of these
things are used in paying for news
papers, magazines. games and other
means OF entertainment. Iii is the al
most unanimous opinion of the officers
in the army that these canteens pro
mote morality. temperance and good
order by keeping the soldiers away
from vile resorts where poisonous
drinks are sold and degrading vice
are practiced. y late report of the
secretary of war contains the opinion
of nearly every officer of the army OIL
this subject.

The story started that Senator Petit
grew IA wiling to sacrifice himself in
South Dakota in order to carry the
state for Bryan isa pretty good joke.
In the first place P~ettigrew was never
known to sacrifice himself for anyone.
1t is very likely he has started the re-
port, however. as he knows he is to be
defeated, and il be works the"sacritice'
dodge early enough when he comes to
be defeated he will 20 down as Il
martyr-tiuns ha would have it seem,
anyway. But Bryan is also doomed in
South Dakota. so that Pcttigrew might
as we'll do his best for himself, and lei
Bryan go it on his own merits.

CALLED DOWN AGAIN
Populate misrepresentation of High
Oflcials Shown Up-Nurd up
for Facts.

Recently the Times-Herald had n
of its accustomed misrepresentation of
the administration of Mckinley, quot
ing from one of it's kind, the Canton
Leader, what %purported to be an inter
view between President Jordan, of the
Leland Stanford university and Gov.
Roosevelt, of New York, in which, Gese
populist newspapers had Gov. AaoYsas
welt say: ~
81 wish to God we we're out of the
Philippines and had them off our
hands. Mckinley has about as much
backbone as q toy chocolate man that
we SEQ on a confectionery stand. He
is a dreadful disappointment"
Besides quoting Gov. Roosevelt with
using the above language those sakgssAS
populist newspapers quoted President
Jordan with using almost gAwallysS
offensive language. Belie41hfFfbs{
the interviews were just as sffff8N
; as the numerous others thtehfe be1i{s
printed every day and every week by
the antis, Gov. Roosevelt was written

mittee, Hot Springs, S. ID.
Dear Sir:--l am directed by Govern
or Roosevelt to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your polite letter of April 9th
with enclosed clipping. The Governor
directs mt to say that it ought to be
almost unnecessary for him to deny
such allegations. He never said or
intimated anything as contained i'll
the newspaper paragraph. President
Jordon called on him in Albany and
the conversation was almost entirely
of an educational character. There is
not one single word or sentence in the
enclosed clipping which could possibly
be attributed to the Governor. These
statements have had quite a wide
spread circulation and they have been
repeatedly denied not only by the
Governor himself but by President
| Jordan also.
Very truly yours.

At about s o'clock Wednesday night the Post Exchange building and the canteen at Fort Wingate were destroyed by fire. The fire was caused by the explosion of a can of gasoline. A large quantity of pro- visions slowed in the canteen, was saved from destruction by the soldiers of the Ninth cavalry. The buildings were of wood, and owing to the scarcity of water, nothing could be done to check the flames. The total damage will amount to several hundred dollars.

TIE Cuban postof1ice employees, whose salaries have been cut, com plain that they should have larger pay in Cuba than in the United States, because they must maintain their families at home. No doubt there is something in this, but not so much as would seem. The sooner Americans get out of all but the highest offices in Cuba and turn them over to people who live there, the better both for Cuba and the United States.
