Mr.. w. Howard, persistent advocate
Of prohibition and consistent oppo-
rent of The army canteen. makes very
strong point in recent argument OF
his. published in these columns. to the
effect that when large business estab-
lishments place saloons in their places
Of business to get good service from
their men then may 1t be conceded
that the arguments of the friends OF the
army canteen have weight. The cir
cumstances surrounding each condition
may not make of them like conditions,
but it is notably true that the greatest
force ever exerted in the cause of tenn
perance has been the rigid requirements
CT great employing corporations for to-
| TAI abstinence among their men. The
managers of railways and great mer-
camille establishments today lay down
rules more effective in enforcing tenn
perance among thousands upon thou
Islands of men than any white ribbon
niedge ever signed and vastly more eff
cacious than any prohibitcry law upon
our statute books.
The prohibitionist can very consist
entity challenge the wisdom of army Of
fcials in establishing saloons at the
post when the examples of discipline in

before them us an object lesson.
The T.-R. has been disposed to look
upon all arguments, pro and con- upon
this canteen question as containing
each a certain modicum of truth. In a
mere battle of opinion<a third party Is
inclined to yield to the Judgment Of
army men high in the ranks when dis
cussing measures for the best army dis

rists. who have failed so utterly in the
practical application of their temper

/ It is certainly a hard question when
asked why 1T is that the army saloon is
/ so necessary to the morale of the SOL
4 dfers when the railway saloon would be
the last investment a great business
corporation would make. If the disci-
/ pline of industrial armies can enforce
temperance on the part of the indi-
vidual, why could not the greater power

can army be used to suppress drunken
less and make the army canteen UNI

industrial government has not taken

of the individual, that it does not trans

HEALTH AND COMFORT.

The secret of perfect figure is .
general muscular development.
Onions are a tonic for the nerves,
but people will be forever prejudiced
because of their Odor.
Cramp in the leg may be quickly re-
lieved by stretching the heel as far out
as possible and drawing up the toes.
Sprains and bruises should be
rubbed with liniment. The following
is an excellent recipe: Take two parts
each of camphorated oil and alcohol
and one part of chloroform. Shake
well before using and apply with the
palm of the hand.
Stye in the Eye.-Make little poul-
tice of the soft part of baked apple
tied up in muslin and apply it to the
eyelid; keep it in its place by a bandage
round the head. If this be done at night
the stye will be much better, if not
cured, by the morning.
For burns and scalds nothing is bet
ter than mixture of equal parts of
linseed oil and lime water. Apply on
lint or soft linen and bind up the
wounded part to exclude the air. This
mixture, which is known as carron oil,
should be kept in readiness in every
household, for one can never tell when
an accident will happen, and when it
has happened the remedy cannot be
applied too soon.

PROBLEM CAUSES WORRY.

The republicans leaders in Washington, we are
told are very much troubled the political out
look Their fear grows that democratic house Will
be elected this fall.
There is a simpler way for the party which is III
possession of both branches of congress and the
presidency to insure itself against the disaster 1t
breads
Let it get to work and legisate in the interest of
the common people for a change.
How is that best to be done? By smashing few
trusts as an evidence of good faith by way of begin
ming This congress is leaving the trust-smashlng
to the president and his attoruey-general-and Mr.
Roosevelt is so anxious that the smashing should be
done on the "wise, conservative and judiclous"
principle with a cotton-headed hammer, that the
trusts are not alarmed in the least.
What would alarm the trusts would be some
smashing on the stern and radical pr2nciple-smash-
ing that would smash
Congress can smash trusts by depriving them of
the tariff protection which aids them to maintain
monopolies and rob the consumer at will.
If congress should smash the food trust, for ex-
ample by repeating the duties that protect 1t
against competition-which congress can do when
ever has the courage to give its vote for that act
of iusice-the fear of the republican leaders resp
ectmg the approaching elections would be much re-
duced.
That fear would be further reduced were the re-
publican house to call up the Hanna-Payne
ship subsidy bill.-providng for an an
nua gift of millions of public money to Mr. j. Pier
pont Morgan, Mr.. Griscom and other needy multi
millionares who have just formed the great steam
ship trust-and kill it.
That would be incomparably better than giving
the people to understand that this scandalous treas
ury raid has only been postponed until more pro
pitiOus season.
The republican leaders dread the coming congress
ional elections because they are afraid of the people
The cure for that fear aud the only cure, is to d.
things that shall them to deserve well of tn

above, these kept closely shaped and
fitted.
Tea gowns of diaphanous materials
are now used in place of dinner

Waistcoats are of the fanciful
type and very few are perfectly plain.
Spotted panne with a pouched front
and the fastening arranged with tiny
straps of velvet and steel buttons is
chic in a cloth gown. and so is vest
composed of alternate stripes of
tucked silk and lace, with three lines
of bebe velvet drawn in and out.
Silk gingham and mercerized Ma

are charming fabrics for morning

beautiful and distinguished effect
may be had. Pretty, too, are those

Total excess for six years under dspensary: Assaults,

The figures fully the question. lis there any
substantial foundation for the claim that crimes of vio-
lence alarmingly increasing in South Carolina?
They show that for the last six years of the dspensa
management there has been aggregate increase OF
more than ~ cent in assaults etc. and nearly lOO
per cent increase of homicdes, the six years pre-
ceding the dispensary, under the license system.
comparison of the last two years of the dispesary
reported-l899 90O-showS increase i'll the latter
wear of 81 per cent in classes of crimes
Crimes against prOperty-larceny robbery, arson etc
have increased in still greater ratio as shown by the
made to the Attorney Generals office by the
Clerks of Court of the several counties and set forth i'll
the Attorney Generals report.
They show of this class disposed of in l899-39
in l9W)-T40 over l25 per cent in one year.
Now this increase of crime cannot be accounted FOR
by increase of population during the PERIOD for the
ratio of increase in the former exceeds many times that
the latter Nor it be attributed to the increase OF
illiteracy and paupersm, the two fruitful original
of all crime for the tables show that both
these have notably decreased within the period
under consideration and, necessarily, so far as they
have influenced crime should look for decrease in
the same degree
So, too if the dispensary system, operated as is
claimed by those who maintaining it, to check the
crimes which generated by liquor selling and is III
improvement in that respect every other plan to
regulate the traffic. how happens it that in the last SIX
years in which it has exercised upimpeded control In
this state only does not show some decrease in
crime but there is actual doubling of crimes of all
grades the six years which preceded 1t under the
license system? This is surely more than mere conc
dence. The fact remains that with the increased out
put of intoXcants by the dspensary there has been
corresponding growth of the criminal record and it is
impossible for the honest mind to divorce their relation
as cause and effect.
