The following is the opinion
the Methodists hold of Presi-
dent Mckinley and he is a mem
Der of that church.
1--WE are chagrined, humili-
ated and exasperated by the
puerile and absurd construction
placed on the anti canteen law
by the encouragement of the
United States. and with all due
resdect to the exalted station,
we record the fact that we are
panied and disappointed at the
course of the President in &C.
cepting as final and satisfac-
tory, an opinion with out bind
ing force. Such an abuse of
power is a notification in its
most dangerous form. Upon
the President, as chief of our
army, rests the responsibility
for the existance of the canteen
saloon, and evil which he has
ample power to suppress, a
more deadly foe to the soldiers
than the bullet or the tropical
heat"
