THE ARMY cANTEeN.

An award of 1890 damages to the
keeper Of low groggery by an FL Paso,
Tex. court in Il suit brought against
Major Loughborough, commanding the
Sixth United States infantry, has
brought about renewed discussion of
the wisdom of reinstating the army
canteen. Major Loughhorough advised
his men to cease patronizing the drink
ing place referred to and advice failing
to have an effect upon the demoraliza-
ton of the regiment thru the influence
of the resort placed sen.ries between
the camp and the saloon. Upon this
the saloonist sued ard the court
awarded him the amoalnt stated as
damages for loss of patronage thru
Major Loughborough's action. The
sentry was posted within. the lines of
the military reservation. OF course the
case will go higher and The decision of
the Ell Paso court NAV be reversed.
Army officers are almost a unit in
recommen ding the re-establishment of
the canteen. Soldiers, and especially
those of the regular army, are scarcely
to be counted as among the ultra
temperate classes. There is no rule of
discipline under which they may be
forced to total abstinence. With the
abolition of the canteen. grogshops and
low doggeries of the most demoralizing
character spring up on the outskirts of
every camp and garrison everywhere.
Discipline has been hard to maintain,
the morale of the men has suffered and
their officers are clamoring for the
canteen again, where under proper SUI
pervision decency and sobriety may be
snforced.
The case of Major Loughborough is
stated to be typical of the difficulties
encountered under the present system.
The contention of the prohibitionist
that proper restraint exercised by the
officers will in time eradicate the drink
habit among the soldiers is scoffed at
by those most intimately acquainted
with the facts. A strong effort is max
ing by line officers for the re-establish-
ment of drinking places under the im-
mediate eye of the commanders. In
this they are supported by many higher
officials connected with the army.

, IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
PROOF OF HARMONY.


Taking the interviews together, the
statement is warranted that these gen
tlemen of consequence in the politics
OF the state could come together and
draft a platform to which each could
sign his name without violence or con-
viction or surrender of principle. In
other words the interviews are suffi :.
cient proof that Senator Allison, Gov
ernor Cummins and j. w. Blythe are
in substantial agreement as to what
should go is;o the platform.
Now, what of consequence does this
establish? 1t establishes this of con-
sequence, that the hullabaloo over Gov
ernor Cummns' tariff views, and the
chatter over 1.-The Iowa idea" have been
largely misleading and fictitious. Mr..
Blythe does not hesitate to do justice
to the governor. He does not hesitate
to say he has confidence the governor
is seeking to give his influence to the
promotion of harmony in the party.
and he does not hesitate to make clear
that he will support. the governor in
that purpose.
There is sufficient evidence that Gov
ernor Cuminins is not making a mad
race, whipped on by the pride of his
opinions There is sufficient evidence

this writer, adopting the semi religious
tone of these Journal uninspired edi-
torials, would say it is casting pearls
before swine, speaking, as it We're, in
parallels. Again, the clergymen of the
town, while not objecting to the object
and end sought by these lay editorials,
feel as tho the previous lack of theo-
logical training of the writer of THESE
editorial efforts was trenching on their
province. With truth they ask, What

his influence all her love of giving and
her knowledge of the wisest way TO

the poor was taught her while she was
still in the nursery, and she has fol-
lowed it with a zeal that has brought
it's own refard in life full of interest
and affection. In her own words the

NOT THE BOY AT THE Dixie.

The Cedar Rapids Republican quotes
the following query from the Carroll
Herald: How much benefit do the
farmers of Iowa receive from the tariff
on lumber and steele" and makes 1t
text for a tariff editorial in which 1t
tells Editor Hungerford, of the Herald,
and others who read its editorial page
much that they know quite as Well or
even better than the Republican and
understand with quite as wide compre-
hension as the editor of that paper may
or does. The editorial referred to en-
deayors to carry the impression that
general attack has been maids ana IS
making on the protective idea by such
republicans as Hungefford and such
excellent republican newspapers as the
Herald. Editor Cole inferentially
stands like the historic boy at the dixie
between the republican party and a
raging flood of free trade doctrine and
tendencies which his presence of mind
alone prevents from sweeping madly
over its barriers to the destruction OF
republican principles and the demoli-
lion of tbs, republican party.
The heroism Of the situation would
rival that of the historic Hoilander
were it not for the farcical fact that
the raging seas of free trade doctrine
said to be beating against the dixie OF
protection have been dried up in Iowa
for almost a generation and the spec
tator is prompted to wonder what
could be the affection that has over
come our would-be heroes in their
spectacular struggles to stop leaks in
a sealess dixie. The ground outside the
dixie has been dry for years. Instead
of the raging seas the Republican pro-
fesses to see beyond the dixie there have
been cornfields and pastures for more
than a quarter Of a century. As things
are, the Republican is poking its fin
ger into the side of a dry embank-
ment miles inland. Under the circum-
stances its do or die attitude is richly
ridiculous.
There is no reason why the Carroll
Herald should not ask its question.
There has been no taboo made about
the protective system against discus
sion of its benefits or disadvantages.
Open discussion and argument has
made our present tariff and impregna-
bly, established the protective system In
the minds of the people. Further ar
gument and discussion VIII not do harm,
but; good. When the Republican as
sumes to discourage discussion of any
economic subject it mistakes the priyi-
leges the public accords to a newspa-
per as guide and mentor.
The platform fight is practically
over: at least it has been postponed
until the convention meets. Let us all
quit quarreling and. as :, beginning, let
the Republican quit playing Sancho
Panza 10 the Capitals Quixote.

HELEN MILLER GOULD.

This young woman-for at thirty
five in this generation a woman is de-

as philanthropist; yet she has not
acquired the Lady Bountiful habit of
mind She has been saved from it by
the grace of her strong, serene common

There is heart in all she does. but no

Forty seventh street and Fifth avenue,
there is an office for charity work,
presided over by two secretaries and
a typewriter, and with telephone COM

A representative in her name
makes daily visits to various
hospitals, carrying books and flowers,
providing free cot when one is need
ed; or an invalid's chair, or perhaps
work for some stranded woman dis
charged as cured. All is orderly and
sane and efficient.

ONLY TWO?
Eagle Grove Eagle


Just what the crying necessity may
be for hurrying whole lot more peo-
pie into this world has not been clearly
indicated by these latter day big fam
lily alarmists. Who or what is going
TO be the better for it? In our opinion
every home would be better for two ba-
bies, one boy and one girl. 1t is not
just clear how the family or the world
would be made better by increasing
that number. Where is the crying de-
mand for more people? Would 1t not
be far better to limit the output and
raise the quality? How many people
are really a success at raising child
rem anyhow, particularly If we allow
their neighbors to be the judges? This
indiscriminate and unlimited bring
ing children into the world is serious
business and the conditions under
which thousands of children are born
and reared, constitutes moral ar
#raignment of parent hood that is awful
to contemplate. What parents need IS
not to be urged to the multiplication or
children, but to be urged to the re-
sponsibility of bringing unconsuited
souls into this world in any but the
most perfect environment. Quality and
not quantity. is what is wanted in chill
8dren. The world is not suffering for
the want of people, but it is suffering
for the lack of good people.

The article concludes: No account
seems to be taken of the magnificent
moral courage exhibited by Mrs. Eddy
in facing the world as she has done for
many years. as a Christian discoverer,
founder, and leader. Some credit seems
TO be given her for organizing and
executive ability. but to those who
know her that quality IS overshadowsd
by her courage, her patience, and her
