Temperance in the Army.

An order urging temperance reform in
the army has been promulgated by Secre.
tary Root, by direction of President
Roosevelt. The orders refers to immoral
ity in the service, and says it is the duty
of officers to point out to their men the
terrible effects of excessive indulgence in
strong drink. The order says
by direction of the President, the at
tenton of the officers and enlisted men of
the army, especially of those serving in
the tropics and away from home, is called
to the following facts:
"The only really efficient way in which
to control the diseases due to immortality
is to diminish the vice which is the cause
of these diseases. Excessive indulgence in
strong drink is absolutely certain to ruin
any man, physically and morally; while
disease due to licentiousness produces eff
fects which are quite as destructive and
even NOR loathsome.
1T is the duty of regimental, and partic-
ularly of company, officers, to try by pre-
cept and example to point out to the men
under their control, and particularly to
the younger men, the inevitable misery
and disaster which follow upon intemper.
ance and upon moral uncleanliness and
vicious living. The officers should, of
course, remember always that the effect
upon the lives they themselves lead. 1t
is in the highest degree necessary that
each officer should be an example to his
men in the way of temperate and cleanly
living.
Every effort should be made to promote
throughout the army a, cleanly and moral
tone in word no less than in deed. AS
nation we feel keen pride in the valor,
discipline and steadfast endurance of our
soldiers, and hand in hand with these
qualities must go the virtues of self-re
straint. self-respect and self-control."

the latter. The telephone, for exam

The neglect of roads that were re-
Gently good, and that with little ex.
penditure of money, work and sense,
might be kept so forever, is, without
doubt, consequence of the disuse
of the bicycle. Whatever may be said
of that vehicle, remarks the Brooklyn
Eagle, ''its value in extending we'll
paved streets and well-laid roads is
unquestioned. So long as million of
wheels were in use there was a COM
mon demand for roads on which one
could ride them. With pleasure riding
came collateral advantages. The
country inns, roadhouses and stores
were better kept than ever before;
work was found for mechanics at re-
pair shops; the farmers had more ac-
tive demand for their products, in view
of the increased business of provincial
hotels and restaurants; real estate val
ues, even, were favorably affected. But
the riding of bicycles for pleasure has
almost ceased. 1t is too bad. Our
well-made paths and wheel ways,
which four or five years ago were gay
with whirling throng, which at night
sparkled with moving lights, which
were lined with inns whence came
cheerful sounds of music and merry
making, are scenes of melancholy, the
occasional and lonely rider emphasiz-
ing their deserted aspect. The road
houses are closed and falling into de-
cay, weeds springing about their lit
tie lawns and gardens, or snow drift
ing over their once populous verandas.
