The passions of a nation but repre-.
sent the passion of a great, human
heart and the same influences will en-.
noble or degrade a nation that help
or harm an individual.
Realizing this the French govern.
mont Is striving to place the nation on
A higher plane by discouraging habits
Of intemperance In the army. The
sale of intoXicants to the soldiers is
prohibited and a school established
giving scientific instruction in the
evils of intemperance.
Dur own nation also has made a
long stride forward in the abolition OF
the army centeen. But the ever alert
evil influence is at work striving to
lumb the national conscience and Sc.
cure the rc-establishment of the can.
zen under the pretext hat in
toxicants are n necessity to the Ameri.
can soldiers.
II this alarming assertion is only
half a truth, then indeed should the
nation reflect on the possibilities OF
It's .uture.
Shall the army. the strength of the
nation, share the fate of the individual
who Is welded to the habits of in
temperance? The story OF the drinkei
whose youth was bright with promis,
and whose life ended in the gloom of q
criminals grave is familiar to all.
Then, II the army saloon should be
reopened the downfall OF our glorious
nation through the destruction Oh the
army would be assured.
Rome. in the height of her glory,
towering above all the world, tottered
N the mad whirl of legalized intemper.
lnce-and fell.
Therefore, If the canteen should be
re established II need not be gifted
with a prophets vision to fcrsee the
results.
Though the dawn OF the twentieth
century reveals our army vigorous.
r heroic and proud. its twilight may
ave that same army writhing In the
