Drunkenness and the Canteen.

Since the enactment of the anti.can-
teen law there has been systematic eff.
tort on the part of some of the army of
hcers to make out clear case of habit.
ual drunkenness against the ''boys IN
blue" Ii they have not succeeded 1t is
through no fault of their own, for ev.
cry incident of army life that could pos
slbly reflect upon the wisdom of congress
in abolishing liquor from the post ex-
change, has been held up to public view
with the continual exclamation, Just
look at that! Just look at this!'' In re.
cent article given the Kansas City
Journal, hon. II. d Bowersock. of Kan
sas, author of the ti.canteen law,
makes the following significa Mt com.
ment on this phase Of the situation:
Regular army officers are not giving
the new anti canteen law a fair test.
They are opposed to it and are doing
everything possible to discredit It.
'tWhen the mothers and sisters of
our soldier boys petitioned us to pro-
tect those boys from the government
saloons, L. for one, was in favor of
granting their request. So were great
majority of the members of both houses
OF congress, as evidenced by the big
majority by which the bill passed. 1t
is inconceivabIe to my mind that good
soldier must have liquor, ana it is sad
commentary on our army il it has TO
have saloon attached to every fort in
order to get recruits for the service.
"They say that with the cateen closed
the men go to town and get drunk; that
when the canteens were open the SOL
diers would drink moderately but now
they drink to excess. If this is true,
why do not the commanding officers Of
the forts prohibit the soldiers from
leaving the reservations? The soldiers
cannot go to town unless they are given
permission. LII soldier goes to town
/ to get drunk, how easy it would be for
the officer to prohibit him from going
again. A permit to go to town could
be conditioned that the soldier should
not become intoxicated. If the army
officers were in favor of the anti can
teen law they could do more than any
other agency, TO bring about sobriety in
the army.
"Of course there is talk about repeal
ing the law, more especially in army cir
cles, but it will never be repealed until
given fair trial. IL the army onicers
would lay aside their prejudiees and as
sist in carrying out the law In the spir-
it in which 1t was enacted, and it was
proven a failure. then u might be re-

Mrs. Anderson Dead.

Laura Anderson, wife of James An
derson died Thursday afternoon, Sept5,
1901. She twas afflicted with cancer for
many years and submitted TO several
surgical operations but did not get more
than temporary relief. She was bed
fast about two months before her death
and her suffering was very severe.
Her sister, Mrs. Maggie Roberts, was
with her constantly during the past
month and did much to alleviate pain
and render assistance. 1t was known
for weeks that the patient could not re-
cover.
Mrs. Anderson was born at Mt. Pleas
ant, Iowa, May 2, ls49, died in Medi-
cine Lodge, Kansas, September 5, 1901,
aged So years, months and days.
Fune raj services were held from the
family residence Friday. Rev. j. F.
Irwin, pastor of the NJ. E. church of
which the deceased was a member,
preached the funeral sermon. The e..
A. r. of which Mr.. Anderson is men,

Committee Meetings.

The central committees of the three
different political parties smet in this
city on Saturday. The republican COM
mittee met in the Cresset Office and the
Pcpulists and Democrats met in the
court house.
1t wasn't our privilege to attend the
republican meeting but we learn that
nothing of Importance was done except
the fixing of a day to nominate the
county ticket. The day set is Septem-
Der 81. The attendance was small,
very few precincts being represented.
The committeeman of Medicine Lodge
was not there and the Cresset push
didn't make any special effort to find
him.
The Populst and Democrat commit.
tees were in session from o'clock un.
Til five. Each committee had good at.
tendance, In the Populist committee
only two townships were not represent.
ed-McAdoo and Moore. Eight town
ships were represented In the Demo
cratic committee.
The committees were not in session
long until it became evident that there
would be some difficulty in deciding on
a name to head the ticket this fall.
Under the new law passed by the re.
pubIicans last winter, the same name
cannot appear on two tickets. and since
by virtue of special law the people
of Barber county must elect a county
printer this fall and no other officer ex-
cept commissioner in the third district,
there can be only one ticket in opposi,
ton to the republican ticket, if the
Populists and Democrats desire to unite
on the same candidate.
There were several conferences but
no agreement could be reached. The
Democrats held out for the name
Democratic" and the Populists stood
for the name Peoples Party" Both
committees, however, were i'm good
humor and there was no bad blood
Pistols and coffee. as Milt Hull would
say, were left at home.
After several fruitless attempts were
| made, to agree on the head of the tick
ct. each committee fixed the date of its
convention for Saturday, September %
Another effort will probably be made
on that day to harmonic the action OF
| the two parties.
The Index would regret to see a di
vision in the ranks this fall. The repub
Leans set the trap at Topeka last fall
but we hope the people will not walk
into it. The special printers bill which
has been heaped on the taxpay ers Of
Barber county is an outrage and once
endorsed, it will be permanent fix
ture. 1t IS our candid opinion thai
| united action on the part of the Gle
ments opposed to this Infamous meas
ure in Barber county this fall would de
| feat its promoters, but a division viii
unquestionably permit the A. & J.
| Big -Four combine to drain the treasury
The question is up to the people. L
they endorse this graft, future leglsla
lures Will give them more, and it viii
not be long until Medicine Lodge viii
have ring organ built up at the ex
| pense of every man, woman and child
