PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY
MR.. BOWERSOCK'S FIGHT AGAINST
THE CANTEEN.

The REGISTER telegraph columns
have already reported briefly the,pas-
sage of the new army bill and noted
that it contained clause absolutely
prohibiting the sale of intoxicants of
any kind at the army canteen. The
special correspondent of the Globe
Democrat at Washington adds some
interesting details, shown the prom
inent part taken in this notable vic
tory for temperance by the Congress-
man for the Second Kansas district.
The dispatch to the Globe Democrat
reads as follows:
Washington, d. G., Dec. 6-By a
vote of 3 to | the "Bowersocl1 anti
canteen BILL" as it was commonly
called during the last session, went
into the army reorganization measure,
which subsequently passed the House.
A session lasting until after dark and
two roll calls were necessary to settle
the question: which was something of
an issue during the last campaign.
News of the result was received by
the National convention of the w. G.
II. L., in session here, with strong
manifestations OF satisfaction. Mr..
Bowersock of Kansas, introduced the
canteen bill early last session and
nursed it until adjournment for the
recess. Petitions praying for the
passage of the bill camel from all parts
of the Union in such numbers as to
attest-the widespread interest in the
proposition. The provisions were
drafted to satisfy sentiment opposed
t0the sale of alchoholic drinks on mill
tary reservations. Mr.. Bowersock
endeavored to secure action at the last
session, but his bill was one of many
which were showed over to the short
session.
This afternoon Mr.. Littlefeld, of
Maine, who has shared with Mr..
Bowersock interest in the legislation,
offered the bill nearly in the original
form as part of the army reorgani-
cation measure. There was some
thing of a sensation. When the roll
was demanded it resulted in fewer
than sixty Representatives going on
record against the amendment. The
Fitty-fifth Congress passed pro-
vision, which, it was supposed, would !
prevent the dispensation of liquor at
army canteens; bat twas SO construed !
by the War Department and by the
Attorney General as to be totally in
effective.
Mr.. Bowersocll pat in plain words
what the temperance people wanted to
and Mr.. Littleield added |
a little legal phraseology calculated |
to make the prohibition fully prohibit.
In this form the amendment went /.
through, and by such a vote as indi-
Gates that it will stay in the bill. The |
legislation is Of popular interest. \ .
controversy on The merits of the army ,
canteen has been going on tor years.
An int eresting incident of the day !
was the appearance of Representative /
BOwersock before the W. CT. U.cun- /
vention short tineprevious to thevotc
in the House. Mr. Bowersockwas intro
1uced to the ladies and was received .
with enthusiasm, He spoke of his bill
and the efforts made to obtain action
On it. He spoke At some length of the
work of the w. Q. q. L. and congrat-
ulated the ladies upon the fine appear
ance of the convention. The Kansas
Congressman was applauded vigor-
Dusly.
