The recommendations OF Secretary
OF War Root and three-fourths Of the
generals in charge OF the military
posts throughout the United States
are in favor of re establishing the
"canteen" which was by law of con.
gress prohibited, This law has been
tried about two years and it has
proved that instead of promoting
temperance, it increases intemper-
ance, The "canteen" is a bar within
the post grounds where beer and
wine are sold, but no whisky and
such drinks.
The matter will have a re hearing
in congress this winter. Whether the
"canteen" will Ne reinstated or not
depends upon the will of representa-
tives and senator's.

MIR. RILEY's STREET.
Its Fortunes Matter of widespread
Interest.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Certain persons have petitioned the Board
of Public Works and the city engineer of
Indianapolis for the improvement of Lock
erbie street in that city by paving the road
way with pine blocks and putting in ce-
ment walks next to the curb; and the Board
of Public Works has accordingly directed
the city engineer to draw up a resolution
for such Improvement.
Now, Lockerbie street must be especially
dear to Indianapolitans AMI all other patri-
otto and literary Hoosiers. and it's name is
an Old friend of many outsiders who have
never been in Indianapolis and know moth
ing of its geography except that street. A
mite of a street, we believe, but the Hon.
James Whtcomb Riley has lived in il for
ten years or and he discovered ii in the
early eighties He dropped into it by acct
dent and was charmed A roadbed of grav-
el. green Sward on the sides, fine old trees,
birds singing in them, lawns and flowers in
front of the tranquil. old-fashioned houses.
Most small cities have their little para
discs. In a few minutes you remote
from business and have found the country
in the city. But improvement will not let
these gracious bits of landscape alone. E,V-
erythng must be reduced TO the dead level
of urban condition There must be pave
ments and sidewalks and all the ugly con-
VenienceS of the city; and before long the
good old trees will begin to die if they are
not cut down before they have the chance.
For reasons too deep to be explained most
municipal authorities are the deadly enc
mics of trees and spend as much energy in
getting rid of them as ought TO be spent in
planting and taking proper care of them.
Mr.. Riley's discovery of Lockerbie street
impressed him so much that when he got
back from his walk he wrote a poem for
the Indianapolis Journal. a poem that
made the fame of Lockerbie street; and
dear little street it is. nestled away from
the noise of the city and heat of the day.
Nothing has happened to Lockerbie street
since. 1t is still as quiet and as present as
when Mr.. Riley sang of it:
80, my Lockerbie street. You are fair TO be
seen
Be it noon of the day or the rare and serene
Afternoon of the night-you are one to my
heart
And l lovely above all the phrases of art,
For no language could frame and no lips
could repeat
My rhyme-haunted raptures of Lockerbie
street,
Wagons and carriages seldom come there.
Even walkers rarely find their way into it.
1t is still happy in its lawns. trees, birds
and flowers. Why does anybody want 1T
''improved?" Apparently the people who
live in it are content. 1t is not from them
that the impulse to tear things up along
Lockerbie street comes. They will resist
the Improvement to the end, we hope; and
Indianapolis so rich in literat and liter
atae and womens clubs, should support
the objections. Lockerbie street and Mr..
Riley should be left Gndisturbed.

So eager TO work and so skilful to plan,

And never took any COMPLETE.

While mankind gives thee no heed,
