Washington, May 23.--President McKin-

Within the last month the military au-
thorities here have not only commended
the BILL but Attorney General Griggs has
written an opinion favorable TO It. Thu
administration has claimed with yeheIn-
ence. that the canteen is good thing for
the soldier.
Tie sudden reversal OF opinion Is not due
to moral conviction on the part OF the
president and the administration leaders.
1t Is due entirely to politics. During the
last month more petitions against the
canteen have been sent to the capitol than
have been presented In recent years

exception of Brigham II Roberts, the po-
lygamist In addition, the president, Sem
ator Hanna and other administration lead
ers have received literally thousands OF
letters protesting against the cantcen. The

The attention OF the last legislature was

This suggestion, while not entirely ig-
nored, met with scent favor. The cotton
mill had not then taken up it's abode in
the industrial development Of the State,
and our able legislators were perhaps not
prepared to believe that IL ever would.
But the cotton factory has made its ad
vent In our midst and has come to stay.
