PROSPERITY DUE TO AMERICA

1t shows the kindly feeling that the
Japanese government and people have
for the United States that under the
lead of the minister of justice of the
Emperor's cabinet, movement has
been started to erect monument at
Kurthama on the coast, commemora-
tive of Commodore Perry's landing at
that place forty eight years ago. That
landing, says the Japanese minister,
was ''the turning of the key which
open the doors of the Japanese en-
pire' to the United States and later to
the whole world, IAN event, " continues
the minister, (Which paved the way
for and accelerated the introduction of
a new order of things" This new or
der was the new Japan. Urging the
movement to mark the Perry achieve
ment, the japanese minister of JUS
tlce says: Japan has not forgotten
nor will she ever forget that next
to her reigning and most beloved SOW
ereign, whose high virtues and great
wisdom are above all praise, she owes,
in no small degree, her present pros
perity to the United States Of America

ARMY OFFICERS WERE RIGHT.

The evil effects of the abolition of the
army canteen system which were pre-
dicted by officers of experience, are be-
ginning to manifest themselves, al
though it is little more than two
months since the temperance organiza-
tions by fanatical clamor forced re-
luctant Congress to strike the canteen
provision from the army reorganization
bill. Nine-tenths of the officers OF the
regular army protested against the
abolition of the canteen, and IN Its
favor urged that 1t promoted sobrlety
among the soldiers They declared
that with its abolition there would be a
revival of low GROCERIES termed 'hog
ranches" around every.army post and
garrison, and there would be more
drunkenness and more serious breach
es of discipline than before
In confirmation of this the command
ant of the garrison at the Preside,
near San Francisco, reports to the War
Department that the troops stationed
there have been demoralized He
says that around the Preside has
arisen swarm of GROCERIES that are
fourishing because the soldiers cannot
obtain glass of beer within the garri-
son. These places are provided with
special attractions to entice those sol
diers who have no wish to enter.
The report goes on to say that the
rum holes are thronged with soldiers
and that since the abolition of the can
teen the breaches of discipline have in
creased from 200 to 300 per cent. It is
quite likely that the evil effect of the
temperance policy is more manifest al
the Preside than elsewhere, as that is
the rendezvous of all the soldiers going
to or coming from the Philippines. Blu
the opportunity of the soldier to ge
drunk on bad liquor when on leave, t.
be followed by punishment for some
breach of discipline, is much the same
every where. The we'll regulated army
canteen satisfied his thirst will
a moderate supply of beer, protected hi
pocket as well as his health and saved
HIM from many punishment as the
consequence of drunkenness. In view
of all the evidence the next Congress
should promptly restore the canteen
without regard to the clamors of til,
cold water brigade. = New Orlean
States
