Miles and the canteen.
From the Literary Digest.

From the Literary Digest.
General Miles recommendation, in
his annual army report. just issued.
that no attempt be made TO repeal the
anti-canteen law recently passed by
Congress has created not a little sur
prise, especially in view Of the fact
that il is said by some to indicate q
change of heart" when compared
with his previous views on this sub
ject. General Miles himself denies
that he has materially changed his
views on the canteen question. and
points out that as early as 1876 he is
on record as being opposed to the sale
of alcoholic liquors in the army.
Speaking of the new law in his report,
he says:
1T is believed that no injury has
resulted thereby. and that the law
has. in the man, been beneficial The
army is composed principally of
young men, who have not formed the
habit of using liquor, and although
the majority of enlistments actually
occur in large cities. as the recruit
ing-offices are principally located
there, a large percentage of the men
come from homes in the country and
small towns and villages in every
part of the United States. The pre-
'ction that the change would prevent
enlistments and increase assertions
has not been fulfilled. Since the law
was approved. namely. on February 2
| 1901. the recruiting-stations have
been througed with men seeking en-
listment for the service, 1884 men
having enlisted since that date. and
the percentage OF assertions is new
| far less than in former years. Deser
tons most usually occur during the

much larger percentage of enlist
ments have been made during the
last six months than heretofore. In
MANY cases the men that have de
serted belong TO q class whose pres
ence in the service was not desirable

character was not known at the time

From the Washington Post.
At this time the outlook for the
United States in both foreign and do
nestle trade is all that could be rea-
sonably asked for and vastly better
than the most enthusiastic of us hoped
for four years ago. Our natural re-
sources and our capacity to make
the most of them are greatly superior
to those of the most fortunate of our
competitors. Prosperity in ample
measure has been with us since we
climbed out of the dreary depths into
which We were hurled by the panic of
1898, and it bids fair 10 abide with us
yet a good while longer.

The Development of the rural free

practically all the inhabited territory
Of the United States. This means the

TWENTIETH CENTURY EXPOSE
TIONS.

"EXpositions are the timekeepers Of
progress; they record the worlds ad-
yaneement; they stimulate tho en-
ergy. enterprise and intellect OF the
people: they go into the home, they
broaden and brighten the daily life
Of the people. they open mighty store
houses of information TO the student.
and every exposition, great or small,
has helped to some onward step"
This extract from the last speech
delivered by the late martyred presi-
dent at the Buffalo exposition is terse-
ly suggestive. As "timekeepers of
progress" twentieth century exposi-
tlons viii necessarily mark successive
epochs of modern civilization in the
field of discovery aud in the evolu-
ton of every branch of human indus
try.
The worlds fairs of the nineteenth
century, beginning with the Crystal
Palace fair held in London in 1851
and ending with the Paris exposition
of 1900. have afforded striking illus
trations OF the marvellous discoveries
OF the last century and the revolution
wrought by the appliance of steam
and electricity in transportation and
in labor-saying machinery.

be ranked among the worlds fair

Chicago Columbian exposition. The
other expositions have simply been

They are talking in Europe about the
American peril" Well. let us frankly
concede that from the European viewpoint
there is such thing. But of what does 1t
consist and how is it intelligently to be
met? ---- .e
The American peril is simply the Amer
lean nation firmly erect on its Industrial
pins and moving forward. There are more
capable men at work under the stars and
stripes than under any other flag in the
world They represent upon the whole
higher order of skill higher order of
general intelligence, and greater self-con-
fdence and self-respect, than may be
found among wage-earners in any other
country. They are citizens and sovereigns,
and hundreds Of thousands OF them own
their homes and have money on deposit
in savings banks. They are backed by
more capital than may be found under
any other flag in the world. and that capi-
tai is controlled by men who have shown
themselves TO be masters of the art of
business organization. This combination
of capable labor and abundant capital in
capable hands is making headway in the
business fields everywhere. Such is 'the
American peril
Now how is it to be met? Il Is for each
country to decide that question for itself.
But in the last analysis a general rule
applies The laws of business in the end
determine business supremacy. AS in war,
victory will perch on the banners of the
heaviest battaliOnS the most skillfully led
As matters stand today, the United States
is commercially far too powerful for any
single European state. Let us say for any
two European states. And the United
States is growing industrially by leaps and
bounds. European combination against
lis is out of the question II could not be
effected There would be no permanent
gain for Europe from 1t If one were eff
fected. For after driving the United States
out, the old war of competition among
themselves would reopen and the Euro
pean nations would be girding at each
other of yore- The new spoil to be d.
Tided would even sharpen the riyalries and
multiply the old difficulties,
THE American peril therefore exists
and will continue. But it has right to ex-

istence Europe may expect, take whatever
course she chooses, to surrender a good deal

out the true path. and Mr. Roosevelt
leads in the same direction. So that the
