nave made life a burden to careful
housewives by scattering very small

necessary to apply for treatment from
this cause: while for the six years,
1S92-1S97, after canteens had been In
stituted throughout the army, an aver
age of only 1884 men required atten-
ton for this reasOn-a reduction
amounting to 1876 per cent. 1t Is
recognized that alcoholism and insan-
ity are closely related through the di-
rect influence eXerted by intoxicants III
the production of mental alteration.
Hence 1t is not surprising to find that
the average number of cases annually
coming under treatment was 35.l Tor
the seven-year period 1SS5lS9l. prior
to the complete establishment of the
canteen system. and only "a as an an
nual average for the six subsequent
years. 1S92-lS97. These figures show a
reduction in insanity amounting to BIZ
per cent"
These opinions Of the officers OF our
army. supported as they are by indis-
putable official figures. are worthy Of
careful considerations To the I'M
prejudiced observer they seem conciu-
sive. May it not be possible that the
estimablc ladies who urge the abolish
ment of the cantecn system are fight
ing the cause of temperance and
morality? 1t is altogether unreason-
able to suppose that the army officers
are right and these ladies wrong? The
army officials earnestly seek the high
est good and best efficiency Of the
army; they speak from personal
knowledge and their opinions are sus-
tanned by facts and figures; while the
opponents of the canteens are in too
many cases mere theorists, with the
best of motives. to be sure, but actuated
by sentiment ana utopian visions, with
little practical knowledge Of the needs
ana conditions Of the army, or Of the
canteen as actually managed. Is it
not possible that those who make the
mistake Of abusing President McKin-
ley for not assuming the functions uf
making ana Interpreting laws for the
army, also make mistake in con
demning the army canteen system?
