We hear so much about can
teens that it is quite natural to as
sociate the word beer with canteen.
l want to tell you of one mans
work and if one man could accom-
plish so much what an immense
amount of good might have been
accomplished if that old fashioned
canteen of drink was a thing of
the past. My father was soldier
and l have always honored the
boys in blue, yes and my heart
aches when l see the ranks thin
ming one by one. AS a child I
learned to pity an old soldier for
father and all the soldiers of my
early recollections were so broken
down after their return from the
war. But since I became a
mother, I know how to pity the
mothers of those dearer than life,
who are so unfortunate in being
in reach of the average canteen.
The most successful canteen ever
established was temperance can
teen. Sergeant Buzzacott of CON-
pany A, Third Illinois, without
dollar in hand to begin with,
erected a tent 80 #. in diameter,
with 200 feet of tables and about
1900 feet of additional seating
room at cost of 1900. And
this canteen without a drop of
liquor paid. Nearly $4,000
worth of goods were sold in the
brief time that the regiment was
at Camp Thomas. It not only paid
it's expenses and all it's original
cost but a good profit was made,
many a soldier sent home money
and the health of the regiment was
worth more than money. The
boys who were given for their
country we're not made drunkards
and ruined body and soul, for the
bible teaches plainly that no
drQnkard shall enter heaven.
Who is to answer for those whose
lives are taken through drink?
| would rather be the poorest bod
carrier with a clean conscience and
a clean ballot than be a partner in
such sin. We as a nation have
what majority call for and can
not blame the other fellow, our
duty is to do right in the sight Of
God for we are our brothers
keeper. Too many christians are
keeping Bro. McKinley-while
that weak erring brother of ours
cannot get away from. temptation.
Bibles and beer what a strange combination.
Whoever heard of the like in creation:
Mustn't the heather consider us queer
Send them cargoes of bibles and beer:
O. the disgrace of it, o, the sad pity!
Pray, christian voters has this your consent:
Then tell me why, in town, village and city,
You are not working this shame to prevent.
Why do you work, vote and shout with the
parties
Pledged as you know. to this legalized sin:
Think OF christian land sending to heather
lands
Beer to be sold with a bible thrown in.

William Mckinley twice refused
the nomination for president previous
TO the time when on the first ballot ut
the Republican National convention
held In st. Louis In 1896 he was finally
nominated and accepted. His first re-
fuxal was at the convention OF 1SSS.
when he supported Mr.. Sherman, 10
whom he was pledged. forbidding the
use Of his name at time when his
formal assent or negative acquicscencc
was all that was necessary to secure
his own nomination. At the ensuing
convention OF 1899 he received Isl
votes for the nomination. his name
not having been presented, as 1t was
well known he was an ardent support
er Of Harrison and would Immediately
withdraw his name should It have
been proposed. Being the permanent
chairman OF the convention. he was
greatly embarrassed by the efforts OF
his supporters to make him the prcsi-
Dental candidate. and. leaving the
chair on the announcement Of the re-
suit Of the first ballot. made n motion
to make the nomination OF MIR. Harri-I

four months the measure had been I'M
der consideration. and every interest
in the country. including manufacture
ers. hborers. merchants. farmers, i'm
portcrs, agents. free traders. and pro-
tectionists, had been freely heard, the
minority having been given as good an
opportunity to present their views rs
had the majority. His speech on May
Z in support Of the measure sustained
his reputation as an orator and dis
passionate advocate, and seldom has
such hearty applause been accorded
any leader as greeted him upon the
conclusion of his address.
McKinley's home life has been that
of the representative American, and
almost ideal. He married on January
25. Miss Ida Saxton. granddaughter OF
John Saxton. for sixty years editor OF
the Ohio Repository, still published at

to his guests a photograph of two old

official life had been for some time an
ideal with him. and with this came tho
belief in the efficacy of the application
of civil service rules to executive con-

He served for three years. In 1886 Mr..
Roosevelt was nominated as an inde-
