Favors the Army canteen.

In his annual report to the war de-
partment General + D. Grant, who is
In command Of the department OF Tex
us, recommends in strong terms the re-
establishment Of the army canteen.
He has observed HAe effect Of doing
away with the caneen, which is the
soldiers club, and opening thereby the
way for the entrante Of drunkenness
and vice OF all Other kinds into the
lives Of soldiers ofthe regular army,
He speaks from observation and care
full consideration b the subject, and
his w%ellknown conservatism gives adj
ditional weight TO shat he says.
In all matters Of this kind common
sense should govern The facts of hu,
man nature should be recognized, and
no one should be deceived into think
ing that by abolishilg the canteen the
inclination of some soldiers to drink
Is removed. The cnteen is a protec'
tion against the excessive use Of Ii
quor and not, as some misguided per
sons seem to think, q temptation to
overindulgence.
Deprived Of q placs like the c~anteen,
where they are guaranteed certain
privileges, enlisted lei are tempted
to seek recreation away from the post
There Is no lack Of men to take ad
vantage OF this by opening saloons
within easy reach Of every army post
into which many d the troops viii
find their way. Thus the temptation te
0verindulgence Is increased, and the
evil Is made all the greater by thu
kind Of liquor sold In such groggeries
Protection not only for the soldiers
against strong temptation, but alst
for adjacent communities Is afforded
by the army canteen. Every one who
has observed the conditions that pre-
vail In the vicinity Of an army pos
where q canteen is not maintained
knows that this Is true, and men o
good common sense agree as q ruiz
with Gen. Grant In his recommends
ton that the canteen be restored
