THE CANTEEN AGAIN.

The army canteen is once more the
subject for discussion among mill
tary men, and. as in former discus
sions OF the subject, army officer
differ widely in their opinions
Naturally, one is led to inquire why
soldiers should need the canteen
more than men in other employ
ment? The burdens they have to
bear and the difficulties they have TO
meet are not greater than those with
which other people have To contend.
They have not really as much need
OF anything to help them, or to make
them Oblivious of their troubles. as
the men in the navy. "Grog." as it
was termed. was abolished years ago
from the war vessels of the United
States, and we have yet TO hear that
its adjustment has in any manner
injured or weakened our naval service.
Companies employing large num-
beers of men do not and will not do
for their men what some army ofii-
cials think should be done for the
American soldier. Indeed. it is one
of the established rules of many
large companies that their men shall
not use intoxicating liquors. The
great railroads of today are very
strict along this line Why should
not the American Government he
Just as strict?
Many of the British troops in India
boast that they are total abstain
ers. and Lord Roberts declares that
he finds more efficiency in a third Of
his troops, among whom these "ab-
stainers' are found. than he finds in
the other two-third Lord Wolselev
declares OF the British soldier that
Drink is the most pressing enemy
at present. 1t kills more than our
newest weapons of warfare France
has not only forbidden the canteen.
but instituted a course of lectures on
the effect of hquor-drinking.
Our own army chaplains testify
that the canteen is demoralizing.
They see as much OF the effect OF drink
ing as many of our generals. and oft
times more.
One officer OF the army has gone so
far as to declare that there il no
temperance sentiment among the
soldiers; that nearly all drink at
their enlistment; that the young men
who leave home for the army have
already acquired a love for intoxi-
cants.
1t is hard TO believe this. for many
OF the young men in the army today
are total abstainers. and a large
number OF them never did indulge in
intoxicating drinks. But aside from
this, we fail to see the necessity for
Uncle Sam TO engage in the liquor
business. Near to every army post
one will find saloons enough to sat
isiy the longings OF the thirstiest
soldier.
Army officers should seek to dis
courage the drink habit among the
defenders OF this government rather
than the establishment OF canteens
for the destruction of their men.

changes in the State game laws. The
two most admirable provisions of

shipment OF game outside of the

OF SO per hunting season in the case
OF non-residents. They also provide
Tor uniform game law and for game
