THE ARMY CANTEEN

The subject Of the army cnntcen,
which WIS 80 generally discussed n
year ago, when tho temperance work
er8 in the country succeeded in hay
ins me eanteeh aDonsned from the
United Staten Army camps seems to
have passed almost into oblivion, so
far IA the public press Is concerned
At the time of its abolition there was
n hue aud cry from army officials and
others protesting against the action of
teen insisted that il was good thing
morally for the sol licrs, as they
would visit far worse places if do
priyed of lis comforts and convention
ces. Almost daily the newspapers
teemod with accounts of disturbances
III the army camps AZ the result of the
removal OF the cantcen, and the Ameri-
can people were almost led to believe
that the army WAS on the verge of au-
archy.
1t il noticeable fact that, although
the canteen has not yet been re estab-
lished, the reports of disorders in the
army have become far less frequent OF
lata, and 1T has been intimated that
tho frat reports of disturbances were
instisnted by persons who would
profit by the restoration of the can
teen, and that investigation would
p owe such reports to be unfounded.
Waether such was the case or not we
are unable to say, but if SO, it is de
plorahle thnt anyone should seek the
ruin of the soldiers TINT he himself
might profit pecuniarily thereby,
The evidence has not al been in
favor of the eauteen by any means,
General Daggeit, L. $. A.. retired, is
an untiring enemy of it, and speaking
on the subject asks, "Is it best to
keep constant temptation before the
total abstaners and tho moderate
drinkers for the purpose of controll-
ing the few drunkards?" The Cen
eral says that il there is no canteen,
SALOONS will spring up Just beyond
the reservation, bnt of so vi e char
acter that respectable soldiers will not
visit them.n Writing 10 the "Union
Signal, soldier in the U, s Army
says Il know as far as have been
about, ii has been decided improve
ment since the canteen is gone.
| think that if each man would own
mp, down deep in his heart, between
him and his God, he would say. Away
with the eanteon, and may God keep
it away.
Here is the opinion Of one OF the sol.
dier boys who wishes the temptation
kept away. viii Congress heed such
petitions ? 1t would be very impru-
dent and wrong thing to do to place
pitfalls i'll the path of the nation de-
tenders. 1t is not to be believed that
the comforts afforded by the canteen
are commensurate with its evil effects
Let the army canteen stay abolished
