LYING FOR THE CANTEEN.

1t is pretty hard work to keep up
with liars, but the material with
which to combat the facts" of the
canteen bureaus are easy to find. Col.
Ray, commandant at Fort Smelling,
has been quoted far and wide as
having made an official report of the
awful things which have happened
at the Fort since the canteen was
closed. We last month published his
alleged report and his fiat contra
diction of every material point which
it contained. Col. Ray recently wrote
as follows: "The sale of beer or any
other intoxicant is not necessary in
the army. In any form it is nui-
sance, caters to our worst element and
is not conducive to good discipline"
Col Van Horne, commanding at Fort
Sheridan, near Chicago, is a warm
friend of the canteen, but was re-
Gently compelled to deny having sent
to the War Department protest
against the continued abolition of the
canteen," attributed to him by the
daily press.
Reports of the awful evils which
have resulted from canteen abolition
at Fort Myer, near Washington, have
appeared in the public press, but care
full investigation proves them like all
similar statements, to be without a
particle of foundation.
The report of a committee appoint
ed by the San Francisco Methodist
ministers, denies the assertions Of the
pro-canteen press in toto.

CAPTURED THE DOCTORS.

The army surgeons in session at st.
Paul this month, unanimously favor
ed the restoration of the canteen, as
did also the American Medical Asso-
citation which followed. This has un-
duly impressed many minds. Many
of these "army surgeons are doctors
who hold commissions in military or
ganizations and large share OF
them hold the loose views usual to
such "good fellows" The canteen
hustlers among the surgeons, as soon
as they won their victory, organized
to also carry the larger Medical AS
sociation. 1t was felt, though, that
it was too early to pass judgment on
the abolition of the canteen. The
resolutions were tabled by vote OF
two to one but later by consent the
matter was referred to committee
with the understanding that a report
should be heard next year.
At the closing session OF the Asso-
citation, however, pro-canteen action
was taken. Not over $50, and some
say many less, of the 1900 or more
members in the city, were present
when the vote was taken and it is
asserted that contrary vote was not
even called for. DR.. T. D. Crothers,
of the Journal of Inebriety, told The
Voice that nearly all of the canteen
hustlers are hard drinkers, this being
notably true of the three persons VINO
were most active in support OF the
resolutions.

your department stores, is bar main
tanned simply because a clerk here
and there is liable to leave his work,

F. A. Davis, paymaster OF the Great
Northern Railway, said to the editor
of Backbone, 'Why should not the
railroads establish canteen at every
terminal where their men can drink
in moderation under the eye of their
superintendents? The Midland
Christian Advocate has the same
thought in mind when it asks,
"If the canteen is promotive of good
morals at the army post, why may 1t not be
q desirable adjunct to the great railway
depot? II the canteen helps to keep. the
American soldier sober and clean and ef-
fectiye. why do not our large employers OF

THE TRADE" FAvoRs cANTEEN.
J. D. MCCORMICK.

1t has been persistently asserted,
and majority of the people there
fore probably believe, that the liquor
interests are opposed to the canteen.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. AS the New Voice asserts,
''Not line of argument nor state
ment against the canteen system has ever
appeared in liquor paper No liquor
lobbyist was ever found opposing it at
Washington. No liquor dealers ever cir
culated or signed petitions against it dur
ing all the years in which the question was
agitated. But, upon the other hand, the
liquor interests everywhere have defended
the institution, opposed it's abolition and
are now engaged in seeking it's restora-
tion.''
Among the liquor papers recently
on record for the restoration of the
canteen are the American Brewer,
the Brewers Journal, Midas Cri-
terion of the Wholesale Whisky and
Wine Market, the Washington Sen
tailers' Review, a monthly magazine
published in San Francisco and "de-
voted to the wine, beer and spirit
trades"
The u. S. Brewers Association at
it's convention at Buffalo, N. Y, on
the 4th inst, received report from
it's trustees which denounced the
overthrow of the canteen as another
chapter in the history of fanaticism," :"
accomplished by tricks which ap-
peal to the hypocrite and intimidate
the moral coward!"

cURsING PORTO RICO.

Rev. DR.. J. Milton Green, formerly
in charge of Presbyterian missions in
the Republic of Mexico and for six
teen months at the head of the Pres
byterian missionary work in Porto
Rico, says, as reported by the New
Voice:
after sixteen months residence in
Porto Rico / return to the United States
to report most shockingly disgraceful
state of affairs now prevailing on the is-
land. Originally the American flag to the
native mind stood for liberty and equality,
without regard to race or color. 1t is

forced to say that the government has

WISDOM FROM WOOLLEY.

While church steeples stand for
high license they do not point to God.
The Prohibition party is the skylight
in American politics, small, but open
day and night.
The voice of the church has de-
clared for but one thing in politics,
and that is the suppression of the al
coholie beverage traffic.
The reason, stability, and value of
popular government requires that
each good citizen stand for the best he
knows at the polls.
Is Christian duty thing of town
lines and parallels of latitude and
longitude? No; no. Christianity has
no locality or policy, waits for no
growth of sentiment.
In Christian citizenship a "resolu.
tion" shows how the resolver feels
a ballot shows where he stands
Blessed is the man that standeth
not in the way of sinners"
Are you a light in the world, or are
you only one of the transparencies

party that despises and defeats the
church John G. Woolley.

THE ARMY OFFICERS.

One trouble about the effort to up
root the army canteen-and the great
est troubles the fact that army Of
ficers themselves. are inveterate
drinkers.-Indianapo Press.
The opinion has become widespread
that there is a conspiracy on the part
of the government, and especially on
the part of army officers, to make
the prohibitory law obnoxious in the
hope that it may be repealed.-North-
western Christian Advocate.
Among the military men rank is
everything. The officer of low de-
gree seeks the favor Of the man of
higher rank. Believing that the War
Department wants the anti-canteen
law broken down, the most natural
thing is for the subordinate officers
of the army to seek to deliver the
goods-Defender.

Twenty American soldiers are daily
