The Canteen Indefensible.

We believe that Archbishop Ireland
was mistaken as to the practical
workings of the canteen. It would
seem that very cursory examina-
ton of the condition of things at
Fort Smelling would have produced a
different opinion. But the basal err
ror in the Archbishop's judgment of
the character of the army saloon is
that he has never appreciated the
Nervousness of the license system, or
at least, so far as we know, has new
er expressed his horror of it. Had
he done so, he would not have been
so easily convinced of the benefits
derived from the army saloon. For
whatever is immoral is always I'M
profitable and impracticable.
When high license was first pro-
posed, it seemed to many good men
that for once it would be well to give
their support to that which could
not be defended on strictly moral
grounds, that is, that for once (they
did not put it SOY it would be right
to do wrong. The number of sa-
looms would be decreased and drink
ing and drunkenness would decrease
proportionate1y. The business would
be put into better hands. The system
would prove steppingstone to pro-
hibition. But every claim has prov
en- false and to-day it is generally ad-
mitted that high license is simply
license.
AS Christian citizens, whether arch
bishops or laymen, we should believe
God and obey him. We should de-
fend no evil institution on the ground
that it is not so bad as something
else. We should cease to do evil and
learn to do well. We should no
longer put our bottle to our neigh
boris lips and imagine that we can
in so doing either benefit our neigh
Dor or escape the curse of God.

TIT FOR TAT.

Oh, that our President feared to
do wrong because of the church vote
as much as he fears to do right be-
cause of the saloon vote!-Oregon
Searchlight.
President Mckinley is a practical
politician and favors those who back
up their demands with their ballots.
He is too shrewd to pay anything for
what he can get for nothing.
The members of this body are
neither puritans nor Pharisees. We
recognize the necessities of large
city and limitations of existing stat
utes. But the fact that at least
ninety per cent of the criminal cases
coming before this body have had
some saloon connection, direct or in.
direct, convinces us that the inter
ests Of public morals will be sub.
served by strict enforcement of ex-
listing ordinances governing the con.
duct of saloons.-From report of the
Cook county (Chicago) grand jury.
And the same fact convinces grow
ing numbers that the only wise law
regarding the saloon is one legislat
ing it out of existence.

BRIEF AND BRAINY.

Mid Continent: The saloon can no more
maintain responsibility than skunk can
act as salesman for cologne factory.
Minneapolis Times: There is much talk
Of the poisonous character Of cigarettes,
but the fact is that the chief poison in the
little cylinders is the nicotine.
Christian Standard: We have no right
to transport such an infamy as the legal
lied American saloon to any land, and we
have no right to have it at home.
Royal Arch News Qiquor): 1t will be
but a few brief years at the present ratio
until the Prohibition party will be most
dangerous foe. In fact, it is already that
Wholesalers and Retailers Review
Qiquor): The Review is not a political
publication, therefore it is not proper for
it to take sides with any great parties.
Of course there is one party that we can
afford to fight-the Prohibition party.
st. Louis Christian Advocate: There are
men who seem to think that as a Christian
or a church member, they could not be
justified in choosing the least Of two evils,
but as citizens Of the commonwealth they
could be justified. When the devil gets
the citizen, where will the church mem
Der be?

A Question of Law.

One important fact in connection
with Mrs. Nations raid on the sa-
looms of Wichita is that they exist
in violation of law. She raises
point of the greatest Importance
when she asserts that no one can sue
and recover damages on account of
the destruction of goods used in de-
fiance of law
1t was well that in 1873 Ohio was
the battle ground of the Woman's
Crusade, since the Constitution Of
that state forbids the licensing Of the
saloon and no Ohio saloon had or
has legal standing. Kansas has gone
step farther-a good long step
and has prohibited the saloon. 1t is
not improbable that Mrs. Nation
may prove to possess as good a

A Feather in its Cap.

The Prohibition party is to be given
the chief credit for the death of the
canteen. The various religious bod
les and the religious press, the w. c..
T. u, the Anti-Saloon League and the
Reform Bureau contributed literally
to the result But had it not been for
the Prohibition party the canteen
would still be fat and fourishing. 1t
was the Voice, the national organ of
the party, which inaugurated the Wig
orous fight that was put up against
the canteen. It's enterprise and capt.
tai gave the nation the facts which
the Prohibition and religious press,
Christian ministers, congressman and
others used with telling effect, and
the force of which the administration
officials and press were not able to
overcome. The power of these
weapons was multiplied many times
by the use which the Prohibition party
made of them in the political arena
and Republican leaders seriously fear
ed, if they did not clearly foresee, the
defeat of that party after four years
more of anti-canteen agitation.

A Better Reward.

Moses e. Clapp is U. S. senator.
He was formerly a Prohibitionist and
we believe, in Wisconsin, a candi-
date for office on our ticket verify
say unto you, they have their. re-
ward" We believe that when Jesus
uttered these words he emphasized
the words "have" and their" thus
indicating that this is the only re-
ward they will ever have. So, if
only from purely selfish considera-
lions, we would rather be a humble,
self-sacrificing, Woodworking Pro
hibitionist who will run for dog
catcher on the Prohibition ticket, or
work for the election of his brother
Prohibitionists to Office, or perform
any honorable though humble labor
to help to power the party which
stands for all that is best, than to
have the highest Office in the gift of
license party at the price of a
mouth closed concerning the sum of
all villainies, the saloon and it's legal
ization.

A New Year resolution for the
brethren of the Minnesota press:
Tor rather, WEI will give more space
to the liquor question than hereto
fore, making liberal use of Back
bones columns.
Prohibitionists do not claim that
prohibition is the only issue. They
do claim, however, that there is no
other issue worthy of the votes of
moral and Christian men and pat
riots so long as the saloon issue is
unsettled.
1t may be somewhat discouraging
that the liquor business-and our
politics-are so largely run by
Ciezekewitch, Ausgespielt and Thun
derstrucker, but there are others.
Read the names of the pledgors to

spire hope that there are SO many
names like Goetz, Ulvedal, Solberg

BOILED DOWN.

Truth, liquor organ published at
Detroit, Mich, thinks that the small
vote which the Prohibition party re.
ceived from the churches ought to
discourage it from further effort.
Yet it is moved to inquire, Twill they
ever lay DOWN."
The Midland Christian Advocate,
Minneapolis, thinks that perhaps "a
better solution of the problem awaits
the clearer thinking and higher ideals
promoted by great spiritual re-
vival." The Wisconsin Christian
Christian Advocate is afraid this is
putting the cart before the horse. It
thinks the great spiritual revival"
will never come at all until Christian
men throughout our broad land first
wash their hands politically of COM
plicity with the infamous traffic in in
toxicating liquors."
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago
thinks "a saloon that is too bad to
be kept open after midnight is too
bad to be kept open at all" The
Union Signal agree with his conclu-
sion, but from different premises.
It also notes that in Mayor Harri-
sons plans for the restriction of the
saloon evil, as in all plans for that
purpose, the remedial features are
the prohibitive features. The more
prohibition the more protection for
the public.

is said that Mrs. Bosscheiter has been
Frustrated since they brought her

Dutch father has never smiled since

able citizens who are familiar with
the work of the saloon, continue to
smile and to vote with the parties
which give it it's life.

 The building Was constructed ot logs. and Instead of glass for windows. sheepslius were stretched over the aperiures made by saving of an occa- sIonal iog. The windows had one merit-they prevented pupils from being Interrupted in their study by what was going on outside. The time was regulated by an boursla s. and the pupils drank water from q tunl- bier made of Q COTS horn or from ground shell
