The Canteen nereat

Prohibitionists are much elated
over their success in securing the
passage Of the anti-canteen law.
While they are passing congratu-
lations around they should not Tor
get their allies. for it seems that
Senators Sewell, Hawley and
others had very good grounds for
the assertions freely made that
class Of saloon keepers were at the
bottom Of the attempt to close the
canteens. The friends" Of the
soldier boys are in bad company.
We predict now that the first
Washington restaurant keeper to
lose his license will have the aboli-
ton Of the canteen to blame for it,
and we say so firmly believing that
no Washington man figured in the
attack on the canteen.

what Next?

The abused canteen was the bar
rier between the reasonable use Of
harmless beverages and the unre-
stricted abuse of poisonous decoc-
tions,
In its favor stood the practically
unanimous testimony oil army Off
GERS; the experience derived from
the working Of the system in army
posts and soldiers homes in this
country; the good effects Of he
sale in limited quantities OF beer
and light wines upon the health
and discipline OF the men; the ten
dencY to irugalitY in expenditure
and moderation in use encouraged
by the canteen-all pointing to the
wi isdom OF the course adopted and
to the usefulness Of the institution
as an agent tor good.
Arrayed against it were the rant
ing professional temperance agi-
tators, with little more substantial
to sustain their arguments than
personal prejudice against the sale
Of liquor; who had nothing better
to offer tor the remedy of the evils
they asserted 70 exist than the
driving OF men from the use of mild
beverages under careful supervis-
ion TO the uncontrolled indulgence
in vile native drinks; who cast
aside the impartial testimony OF
men, many OF them ministers OF
the gospel whose concern for the
physical and mental and spiritual
welfare of the men was certainly
as sincere as those who took the
opposite view; who shut their eyes
to the lessons Of prohibition as
exemplihed in Maine and other
States in the Union; who repldi-
ated medical testimony however
unprejudiced and whatever the
standing professionally Of those
who rendered It.
The active, powerful, unreason-
ing influences Of hysterieal men
and women were too much for the
Senate to withstand. Granting. for
arguments sake, that the condi-
tions were bad, the alternative was
simply worse. The craving Tor
stimulants is still there-a craving
intensified by the nature OF the
service in which the men are en-
ployed, the climate and surround
ings. We await the steps that are
to be take to eradicate that cray.
ing.
II but a tithe OF the havoc said
to have been caused among the
soldiers in the Philippines by the
saloons were true, a demand
would arise, not tor their abolition
but Tor the evacuation OF the isl
ands, that no party could with
stand.
We hope shortly to have the
forces ofprohibition arrayed in a
body against the imperiahstic pol
icy Of the Administration that
gave them the canteen law.
