OPPOSES THE CANTEEN.
General Miles Says It is a Needless
 Temptation.

ASWPSosASA
 Washington Special to The Chicago Rec
 Lieutenant General Miles. command ing the army, in his annual report, dis cussing the canteen question, reviews Its ddyslopment a,,fS frsm the cdnid snioy reading books and papers, playing games, etc, and could purchase such refresh ments, except liluors. as they desired iishment, when the light wines and beers were authorized to be sold in the can teen: ,,. .. o, Congress prohibited the sale or intoxl, eating beverages in the canteen. and it is believed that no injury has result ed thereby and that the law has, In the main, been beneficial" the General de- clares.
 In explaining why he favors the present arrangement, General Miles directs at- tention to the fact that the army is composed principally of young men who have not formed the habit of using h- quors and although the majority of the enlistments actually occur in large cities, as the recruiting offices are princlpaiy located there, large percentage or the men come from homes in the country and small towns and villages in every part of the United States.
 "Thc prediction that the change would prevent enlistments and increase deser- tions has not been fulfilled" he contin- ues. Since the law was approved Feo- ruary 2. 1901. the recruiting stations have been thronged with men seeking enlist ment for the service, 25,9H men having enlisted since that rate, and the percent age of assertions is now far less than in former years. Desertions most usually occur during the first six months of en- listment, and a much larger percentage of enlistments has been made during the last six months than heretofore. In many cases the men that have deserted belong to a class whose presence in the service was not desirable under any con- ditions and whose real character was not known at the time of enlistment"
 General Miles says that the anti-canteen law at the West Point Military Academy Washington has produced gratifying re- suits. and adds: There is no doubt that the result of the present law in its ef- feet upon military garrisons will also be beneficial
 In support of his assertion that the anti-canteen law has not caused deser- tions. General Miles gives !n the report statistics showing the strength of the army from 1867 to date, with the percent tween the number of assertions during the months of April, May and June for the last three years. The percentage of assertions in 1867 was 267, and in 1871 30.2 the highest in recent years. From 1871 the desertions decreased 7.8 per cent. in 1875 and then increased to per cent. in 1880. 1s4 per cent in 1882, gradual decrease following that year until lS9I when the percentage. of desertions was sertions averaged between 4 and per cent. General Miles advocates that the anti-captsen law be given fair and full trial.

ALABAMA STANDS THIRD.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch alludes to the fine charge recently delivered py Judge Thomas of this city on the pistol habit. and remarks that there are but two States, Georgia and South Carolina, which show up with a greater number of prosecutions fo- murder and man. slaughter than Alabama This may be correct, as we have not the statistics at hand, and we allude to the editorial on account of this paragraph:
 The courts are doing what they can to stop the practice. But public opinion can do more. Let it be once understood that a youth who Jugs gun around is looked upon by everybody whose opinion is worth needing as a ft-headsd fool and the habit would be broken. The average young man is very responsive to the whip of opinion and likes to stand well with those he considers worthy of imitation. The youth who is not average, who is abnormal, decadent and vicious, may be left to the police and the courts. The greater reform, however, must be effected by public opinion.
 The course advised might have an in- fuence on "the average young man." and  good. but that public opinion should be directed. not so much against the young man who carries his pistol as 1t should be. directed towards the enforcement of the stringent laws against the practice. If Judges would exercise their preroga- tive in this State of adding Imprisonment to fines by juries. the trouble would soon be greatly lessened.
 Without doubt. If all good people would show their opinion of all men who habit ually carry pistols. 1t might have good effect. but unfortunately the class of men who always go armed are the men upon whom public opinion will have little ef- feet For these. nothing will be effective, but a law which will send them to the penitentiary without the alternative of paying a fine.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

New York Press.
 In modern romances money talks. love whispers.
 There is nobody the village gossip hates so desperately as the one who will not notice her islanders.
 man may try to love his own mother- in-law. but he has got to draw the line at his wife's sisters mother-in-law.
 People who go up in the world never try to take anybody else up with them; when they go down in the world they want all humanity to go down with them. A woman can sew, read a love story tend the baby. and hear her son recite his lesson all at the same time, but when it comes to listening to a choice bit of gossip she gets right down to that busi- ness and Othing else.
