AND DRINK .

a statement signed by President
David Starr Jordan and others is To the
effect that while at the time of enlist
ment I'm the United States army a ma
jority of the men did not use intoxi-
eating liquor, at the expiration of the
term of service a large majority are
habitual drunkards. COntrasted with
this is the assertion that employees i'm
such departments as the post Office or
the custom house leave the service
better men than when they entered,
while enlisted men leaving the military
service are less fit for business. Pre-
cisely on what data these conclusions
are based, we do not know, but i'm q
general way they probably approx
mate accuracy For one thing. it
seems to be assumed that a soldier
must of necessity be addicted to the
Incorporate use of intoXicants. A good
share of the controversy on both sides
Of the so-called canteen question was
founded on this assumption. one side
said the soldier needed the canteen
because he would get drunk if he
didn't have it, and the other said he
must not have the canteen because he
would get drunk if he did. We always
suspected that there was eXaggeratiOn
on both sides, and that the soldier
was no such beast as his friends tried
to make him out. Nevertheless, it is
apparent that he has some peculiar
and beguiling temptations to excess in
drink. on the other hand, the en-
plOyeS of the government civil service
have every reason to resist the temp
tation and every influence to assist
them. Indulgence is sure to de-
prive them of their place; an indul-
gence which in any way impairS their
efficiency is dangerous. Employees of a
grade which might be said to answer
TO that of an army private, especially
in the postal service, have regular and
taxing work, which i'm itself is a great
thing for keeping men out of mischief.
And in almost all cases they have
homes, and pride i'm their work and
themselves and a wholesome respect
for their standing i'm the community.
All these tend to sObriety and to build
ing up character so that Improvement
lis natural effect.
We have no doubt that the army life
improves some men, but it is not a
natural life, and i'm it's unnaturalness
i7 probably the underlying reason for
the decentralization which attacks so
many. s private soldier is a man by
himself with nothing that is actually
% home. and with a round of chiefly
mechanical duties. Some men who
know something of army life, especial
as IL goes on i'm time of peace. say
,nat he doesn't have enough to do.
How that may be we do not know. but
we suspect that sometimes there is
something i'm the suggestion. What
ever the reasons may be for the exist
euce of excessive drunkenness among
soldiers, IL would seem as If the good
judgment and the good will of his SUI
periors should be able to cOntrive and
establish some means Of removing the

A dispatch to the New York Sun from
