Plenty Of water is standing around
in different places in the town limits.
Probably as long as it rains every
few days, the water will not become
foul, but it is bound to become stag

sickness. The council are taking
steps to drain some portions of the
town and this will help the situation
to great extent.
Everybody has heard of the man

The Odd Fellows celebrated their
anniversary last Thursday by giving
social at their lodge room. A large
crowd attended, in fact the room was
packed. A very pleasing program
was rendered, which included inter

Heaton and Judge E, @. Novels.
Music was plenty and then ice cream
and cake were served. A big cake
was rallied off, and fifty chances were
sold at twenty FIVE cents each. Judge
Heaton held the lucky number, ard
the cake was put up at auction by
him. 1t was sold several times and
netted quite goodly sum for the

THE ARMY CANTEEN.

A Kansas member of congress- who Is
blessed in the name of Bowersock, has
introduced bill in the house of represen-
tatives to abolish the army canteen The
proposition Is not new to the public or
to congress, though 1t may be novel to
Mr.. Bowersock, and 1t Is probable 1t will
be disposed of by congress as have sim
liar propositions in the past.
To temperance people who regard the
sale of liquor at army canteens as an
unmixed evil, and the countenancing Of
liquor selling thereat by the government
as derogatory to the dignity of the gov
eminent and against good morals, the
army canteen must continue to be an OBJ
ject of aversion and reprobation. But
there are many features connected with
this question which these good temper
ance people overlook. For instance, be-
cause a man enlists and consents to serve
his country as a soldier he does not re-
linquish any Of his rights as citizen.
If the laws of the country permit the sale
of liquor, a soldier has as much right as
afcivilian to buy liquor, and is held to ac-
count for any misconduct resulting from
the consumption of liquor as Is the civil
ian. A certain proportion, perhaps
large majority, of the enlisted men are
in the habit of taking and consuming
more or less intoxicating liquors, just as
are civilians. If the enlisted men cannot
obtain the liquor they want in their post
canteen. they will go outside the post or
barracks to obtain 1t. The post canteen Is
under the supervision and control of the
commanding officer, who can absolutely
regulate the sale of liquor, and who can
prevent excesses and does do so. But If
the men get down into town, frequenting
low saloons, they are for the time beyond
his Jurisdiction. and with the knowledge
that there is no liquor obtainable at the
post canteen they will utilize their liberty
to Fill up" and indulge in spree that.
too often ends in the guardhouse or leads
to desertion.
"A commanding of11cer can not only reg
ulate the consumption of liquor at the
canteen, but he can regulate the quality,
which is a matter of much Importance
when troops are on foreign service and
with this control much that to many peo-
pie is highly Objectionable in the use Of
intoxicants is removed.
OF course there Is a certain number of
the enlisted men who do not use liquor
or favor its use. and If there is any re-
form of the army canteen required 1t lies
in the amendment Of the regulations in
their favor. Under the present regula-
tons, 1t Is understood. the practice is to
detail men for service In the canteen the
same as for other fatigue" duties. 1t Is
quite possible that such service may be
Objectionable to the men who do not
drink at all, and 1t might be advisable to
relieve them Of this duty and confine
the service to the men who do drink and
who could have no valid objection

NoN-sUFFRAc1sT WOMEN

Among the many movements of a po-
ntical or social character which pre-
vail, without having at least the open
sanction Of even fair minority Of this
people, that of female suffrage easily
occupies front rank. While the move
ment has been essayed as an experiment.
In few Of the younger states it's ac-
ceptance as a desirable policy Is con-
fined to a very small proportion of think
ing people. But it should be said to
the credit Of those who advocate it,
mostly members of the sex which does
not possess the privilege, that they show
degree Of energy and devotion which
has won for them a much larger share
OF public attention than many believe
the inherent merits of their propaganda
entitle it to.
While the women suffragists are inde-
fatigable In their advocacy and succeed
in having constant public attention be-
slowed on their efforts, there is another
class of women whose operations In the
opposite direction do not succeed In at
tracing the degree Of attention which
they have entitled themselves to. They
are the members Of the anti-woman sur
frage movement. They include many
women Of high reputation in the domain
of public usefulness, and their efforts,
while not attended by the same amount
of noise which distinguishes their sisters,
are atoleast thus far attended by much
more substantial success.
During the present month delegation
Of the ladies opposed to woman suffrags
appeared in Washington, to protest
against any change in the constitution
giving women equal rights with men.
That protest was made by the state or
CARNATIONS of the anti-suffragists and
was read before the house Judiciary COM
mittee and before the senate COMMITTEES
on woman suffrage. The main question
taken by those ladies is we'll worthy or
commentator. They insist that there
shall be no interference by the general
government with the reserved powers of
the several states. This position Is a
strong one, and should, as we say, re-
ceive general commentator, If the suf-
frage is to be extended to women 1t must
and should come from the state govern
ments. Under our constitutional system
that is a right as clearly reserved to
the states as any right involving the
rights of person or property which has
not been expressly relinquished to the
general government. Whatever the mer>
its of the claims of the woman suffragists
may be, they are doing their cause mors
hurt than help by directing their appeals
to congress.
The protest thus made declares that
there is no demand for the legislation

than one sense. He may live rich If he
will; but generally he is anything but

fed descendants possibly to bring dis

Goes it the way: he wants to. so that
after he is gone his spirit may not be
disturbed by the cries of those who

asked for, and embodies an expression of
large the suffrage were submitted to the
women of the United States 1t would be
rejected by an overwhelming majority.
1t concludes with the following para
graph:
eve feel that the exemption of women
from the performance Of suffrage Is
privilege which they are not prepared to
surrender, and which has been conferred
upon them as a compensation for hmfta-
tons and duties imposed upon them py
their sex. and which cannot by any pos
sibility be transferred to the domain or
masculine service.
On the occasion of the entering Of this
protest the ladies who advocate the SUI
frage extension, led by Miss Anthony.
also had a hearing. The nature Of ono
of the pleas made by those ladies' seems
to some extent at least to carry out the
claims of their opponents that the de-
mand being made on congress is In an,
tagonism to the reserved rights of the
several states. For instance, Mrs. Avery
read a paper before the senate commit
twice elected mayor of Kansas town.
The letter describes in detail what had
been accomplished in the way of mu-
nicipal reform in Kansas, women in that
state being eligible to vote and hold mu>
nicipal office. 1t indicated that there had
been a publication of municipal affairs
since suffrage had been granted to
women.
This, of course, may be all true. In
deed 1t Is impossible Of understanding by
anyone who keeps in sight the relative
functions of federal and state governs
ment how any such consideration could
be expected to operate as an argument
with men versed In constitutional rights
and limitations as senators are UNDER
stood to be.
If ever woman suffrage is to become
an accomplished fact In the United,
States it must so become through the &C
ton of the several state governments. No
person, however deeply impressed he or
she may be with the justice Of the de-
mands of the woman suffra gists and who
desires to preserve the existing constitu-
tional relation between the state and
the national government, will readily give
adhesion to any movement which looks
to the amendment of the federal constitu-
ton for any such purpose, especially
when all that is sought can be effected
through the action Of the people in their
character of citizens of the several
states.

He was simply great yesterday,
