the bar at the canteen, had to obey the
order. The officers with few exceptions
favored the canteen. Among the sol
diers the ones addicted to drink favored
the canteen and the others were OPP
posed"
There are few points in this that
should be made emphatic to the reader
That saloon is the identical thing in
the army that it is in Marshalltown,
only it has less restrictions; that the
men who patronize it in both places are
in favor of it, and those wo do not are
opposed: that it creates the great per
cent of disorder there that it does here;
that the officers club saloon never
closes; that the other does when at
home, where it fears the righteous con-
demnation of the citizen. but when
abroad it opens on Sunday; that lewd
women are the adjacent of it and hover
around it, even In the camp; that the
profits, going to the mess, is stage
play to corrupt the comrade who stands
for total abstinence; that the detailing
of a Christian to attend the eanteen
bar against his will is positively mem
ace to the respectable citizen enlisting
in Uncle Sans army: that the coupon
system encourages drinking by giving
credit for drinks which could not pre-
vail il the soldier went outside: that
drunkenness under the canteen system
goes on the same, If there is not
saloon to be reached on the outside;
that under the officers club system,
that is still running, the officers can
drink all kinds of intoxicants at any
time: that about all of them do it; that
four fifths of the soldiers drink; that
many men who enter the army temper
ance men come out addicted to drink;
that the reason the saloon is to be re-
instatsd Is because we have an army
of drinkers.
A railroad. manufacturing estab-
lishment, a clearing house and de-
partment store is business instftu-
ton, and so is our government. When
successful business establishments
place saloons in their places of business
to get good service from their employees,
then, and not till then, can Corbin.
Root, etc, convince the common citizen
that the saloon should be put back in
the army and navy to promote discip-
line to lessen disorder, court martials,
and assertions Our officers have the
power to stop the men from going out
side to get drunk. If the head of the
army is telling the truth about them
selves and the soldier. congress should
pass law to reduce any officer to the
ranks that gets drunk. Discipline the
head first. Outlaw the officers club
and conduct the matter as a railroad
conducts its business.
The facts are, it Is the old fight be-
tween the rum traffic and those op-
posed. The great liquor elements or
ganized politically for the first time last
spring, for the purpose of putting a
saloon in every town in the United
States, and the army, as well. They are
at it. This accounts for the great num-
Der of articles going thru the press ia
voring the canteen.

TO ENFORCE ANTITRUST LAWS.

1t seems probable that the only anti
trust legislation that will be enacted at
the present session of congress Will De
embraced in a special appropriation OF
$250000 to be given to Attorney Gem
eral Knox to enable him more effective
" to enforce the existing Sherman law,
altho 1t is possible that some one of the
other antitrust measures may be re-
ported favorably and may pass the
house. This appropriation will be in
consonance with the suggestion OF
President Roosevelt in his message to
congress, in which he said: "The con-
gress has not heretofore made any APP
preparation for the better enforcement
of the antitrust law as 1T now stands.
Very much has been done by the de-
partment of Justice in securing the en-
forcement of this law, but much more
could be done IL the congress would
make special appropriation for this
purpose, to be expended under the d.
recuon of the attorney general
Among the bills introduced in har-
mony with this suggestion is one by
Congressman Hepburn, of this state
calling for an adequate appropriation
Tor the purpose. It is the intention to
press this measure for early considera-
ton. 1t Is hoped that 1t can be passed
before the Christmas holidays. Several
CT the members of the house committee,
Including some of those who believe
that there should be more radical legis-
iation fsf dealing with the trusts are of
me sUbinion that nothing should be done
at the present session after having
passed this appropriation BILL They
take the ground that if the administra
ton believes it is possible to deal with
the trusts under the present law every
opportunity should be given to the at
torney general to show what he can do.
II it proves effective it is possible no
further legislation will be needed

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
PEACE IN IOWA NEXT YEAR.
TCaIor IA par,,tx1;,,,,

[Cedar Rapids Republican,
The Burlington Hawkeye, the Des
Moines Register and Leader and the
Marshalltown Times Republican are
discussing the nomination of Governor
Cummins and the platform, as to the
tariff and the trusts.
The Marshalltown paper says that in
effect an ultimatum has been issued to
the governor by the Burlington paper.
Let us hope that no ultimatums will
become necessary on either side. Calm
yourselves, gentlemen.
Look at it this way: The Des
Moines paper says that it stands with
President Roosevelts message. That
message said that the trusts which are
affected by the tariff are so few and
the effect is so inconsequential that it is
a relation not worth while considering.
OF course, if a monopoly was fostered
by the trusts, says the president-but
it is a remote possibility, not worth
considering in the solution of the
greater problem. But it is this remote
possibility, this i1consequential relation
that was made the chief feature in the
platform discussions of Iowa. 1t was
was made by its insertion in the plat
form last summer, against the wishes
Of such men as Secretary Wilson, di-
rect from the council chambers Of the
white house. 1t was def" fac
tional test
Now the Des Moines paper ana the
Burlington paper referred to are dis
putting as to making that remote pos
sibility and that unconsequential rela-
ton between the tariff and the trusts,
the corner stone of the denomination of
Governor Cummins. The Marshalltown
paper is a sort of interyenor.
This paper would also like to inter-
vene 1t is still calm on this issue,
and it promises to remain so. 1t will
concede now that Mr.. Cumnlins, who
will be renominated il he wants the
denomination, can, with the aid of this
faction, make this tariff trust issue, if
he wants to-
But here is the question: Can they
afford to make that remote possibility
that inconsequential relation between
the tariff and the trusts the corner
stone of their campaign? Can they
afford it? We believe that 1t would
lose to the party thousands of votes.
If the democrats nominate such a man
as Louis Boes, young, progressive DEM
ocrat who is not afraid of democracy
and who will not apologize for it, even
to the extent of an iowa idea" the re-
publicans would feel the effect of the
internal strife they are stirring up. The
Hon. George e. Roberts, director of the
mint, and supposedly editor of the Des
Moines paper, ought, to take time to
think a few times before committing his
paper to such folly.

BUSINESS FEATURES.

Holiday demands and colder weather
have greatly stimulated retail trade in
many lines, and extensive buying is in
progress in every locality. AS the year
draws to close many merchants ex-
press a desire to realize as much as
possible from sales and lower prices are
advertised as taking features. In this
movement the great department and
mail order stores of big cities make
special effort, so that home merchants
in smaller places find it imperative to
offer special bargains to catch or hold
the trade of those who are inclined to
buy where thye can get goods the
cheapest. These big department and
mail order stores are constant menace
to local merchants, many of whom in
Iowa towns complain that they get too
large share of trade.
Wall street comes into notice again
by a drop of stocks as a result of money
stringency. Reason for this is found
In disbursements soon to be made. 1t Is
estimated that the interest ana DIVIDED
disbursements next month will be lar
ger than they have been at any CORE
spending period hitherto, aggregating
about $150,0o0,000, three quarters of
which sum will be paid thru local bank
ing institutions. To provide themselves
with the funds necessary for meeting
this extraordinary demand the banks
are making every effort. Thus they
have recently been calling loans to the
amount Of several millions. and are now
marking up the call loan rate, while
rates for short time money have for
some time been practically prohibitive,
to use the language of well-known
stock exchange members. It Is gem
orally agreed, IN New York, that more
or less stringency Will prevail until well
along In January, for a large part of the
millions to be disbursed at the begin
ming Of the month will go to stockhold-

How to Prevent Group.

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lains Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
