room in the canteen had been greatly ex-
aggerated The men We're sitting there as
orderly as though they were in the Rus
sell House cafe. The canteen is really the
soldiers club, a cooperative store, fur
and reading room, all combined to make
the soldier comfortable and happy; they
can order hot or cold lunch with the ad
dit.on OF hot coffee, tea or beer. To abol-
1sh these privileges would be doing him
great wrong. The money that is made
from the sales in the canteen belongs to
the soldier and the profits are expended
by his commander for fresh vegetables and
other good things which the government
does not supply.
The word canteen, has, think prejudiced
many people against this admirable insti-
tuition. The average civilian Immediately
conjures up riotOus orgies in connection
with the word. The canteen bag carried
by the American soldier on his back in
marching, Is not filled with either liquor
or beer. 1t is generally filled with water,
although some men prefer cold coffee, or
cold tea. as more stimulating and pleas
anter to the taste than tepid water on
long, hot march.
AS the canteen is now run in army garri-
sons 1t has done much to elevate the char
acter and morals Of the enlisted men. In
stead OF being abolished 1t should be sup
ported by all patriotic citizens who have
any regard for the well being of the SOL
dfer. To the 14th Infantry, part Of which
is now stationed at Fort Wayne, belongs
the honor Of having started the first can
teen in America to protect its men from
evil Influences and tempta tions.
Since the first establishment of the can
teen In the early sos there has been a
marked improvement in the contentment of
the soldier, less drunkenness, crime and
desertions, and their mothers. wives and
daughters approve heartily Of the good ef
fects of this institution and their opinions
ought to have much weight with those out
side their little world. Their praise GER
tainly speaks volumes for 1t.
To have 1T abolished would be hailed with
Joy by every saloonkeeper In the land, leav-
ing the soldiers entirely their prey. If the
w. G. T. U. and other philanthroptc and
religious societies would endeavor to have
some legislative action taken this coming
winter toward clearing the vicinity Of every
army post In the land of the saloons and
low dives that infest them they would do
much toward helping the soldier on his
upward path. In the meantime we must
choose the lesser evil Of the canteen in
stead Of the dangerous influence Of the
saloon.
