DR.. Samuel P. Long, pastor of the
First Methodist church in Duluth,
discussed the 'canteen" from his pull
pit last Sunday night. In the course
of his remarks he said An interest
ing illustration of the effect of the
canteen may be seen in the history of
the North Dakota regiment during its
campaign in the Philippine islands
1t was the only regiment that did not
have the canteen, yet during seven
, teen months of hard service this regi
ment reversed all precedents by show
ing that it lost more '1en killed in
battle and from wounds received in
battle than from diseases or other
| causes. The standard Of nor ality
maintained in the regiment was ex-
ceptionally high all through the cam
paign, ard the court martial records
we're exceptionally low. A large pro-
portion of the men were total alb
stainers before enlistipg, and remain
ed so. The boast of the regiment was
that they were as we'll looked after
and cared for as other organizations,
which had ST. canteen fund to
divide among the companies. -

FUTURE OF YOUNG MEN.

During the late campaign Democratic
calamity orators were quite talkative
of the hard row the young men of to-
day were forced to hoe; that there
was no future for the young men no
opportunity for them to cut out a
name for themselves in the busy
world. Because of the existence of
the trusts the pathway to fame and
fortune was closed. The orators pre-
sented most dismal looking picture
and its only object could be to create
distrust and discomfort among the
young men. Far different is the senti-
ment to be found in a speech made by
Whitetaw Reid, the editor of The
New York Tribune, delivered on
Founders day at Carnegie institute.
1t is an excellent Offset to those Demo-
cratic utterances.
Mr. Reid said:
THE same declaration about the
impossibility of rising under existing
conditions was heard in New York
when a young boatman named Cor
nelius Vanderbilt was beginning to
run lite ferry to Staten Island 1t
was heard in my own calling when
Bennett and ureeley and Raymond
started, and heard again when they
died, but after Vanderbilt came Scott
and Cassatt and Huntington, Morgan,
Hill and Hartman. The development
Of newspapers did not stop, Bennett
and Greeley and Raymond, and
schwab Is not the last day laborer to
rise from the Iron mills The chances
for the young men are and must be
kept as good today as they ever
were. +"
Pluck and perseverance will win
way for any young man who possesses
the ebiEty to cope with the RESPONSE
btiitiee that are PLACED in his charge.

UsELEssNEss OF SOLID SOUTH.

USELESSNESS OF SOLID SOUTH
Seeing the uselessness of the solid
! south, The st. Louis Globe Democrat
| reads the Democratic party lesson
on it's foolish notion of banding to-
gether to the detriment of the south
ern states. The Globe Democrat says
'By no possible combination of pol
itics is there anything left in national
contests for the solid south idea. 1t is
played out, and the sooner the people
of the south realize its utter vanity
the better for themselves and their
, material interests and general affairs.
The south is wasting time. 1t isolates
itself to no purpose.
SIN its solidity the south has tried
more recently the Populistic and silver
fusion propositions. The latest plan
was to win enough western states to
gain a Democratic victory. But the
states of the west that voted for Bryan
are more strongly Republican than
they ever were before, and are not
likely to bite at any more bait like
that of unlimited silver and fifty
cent dollar Silver producing states
were ready to go into that movement
because it would be locally profitable.
But the solid south delivered its vote
for the scheme because it wanted polit-
ical power. 1t is naturally sound
money section. By an emphatic major
ity the country rejected it twice, and
if there had been a presidential cleo
ton last week the Republican lead in
the electoral vote would have been
greater than ever The south is fol-
lowing cold and barren trail. 1t is
huggipg the delusion that it can never,
under any circumstances, induce
enough northern states to join in a
program that will lead to southern
national control.
Common sense politics, therefore.
requires that the south should dismiss
forever its will O. -the-whisp fancy
that it's solidity for one party, and a
thoroughly discredited party at that
can ever make it dominant in the ma
|. ton. 1t has no title to such posi-
tion and no reason to hope for it. Step
by step 1t has destroyed within its
limits all parties but one. This policy
alone is sufficient warning against any
political combination it can offer.
The south should turn its attention to
the possible, the progressive and the
modern. 1t has vital interest, for ex-
ample in the protection of American
industries and in other economic is
| sues. As solid political force it has
become negligible quantity in ma
tional sense 1t may be the whole
thing in a Democratic convention. but
it is now, in its strict Democratic ex-
clusiveness, simply out of the running.
Some of it's bright men should grasp
the truth and go to work to clear away
irrational conditions. -
