GENERAL BALDWIN
FOR ARMY CANTEEN
He Says 1t Should Be Re-es-
tablished Under Proper
Restrictions

Washington, Sept H. - Brigadier
General Frank D. Baldwin, command
ing the department OF Colorado, in his
annual report urges the re-establish-
ment Of the army canteen under proper
restrictions. and says: Il have been
deeply impressed by the very marked
difference IN discipline and general
contentment among the enlisted men
since the abolition OF the canteen fea-
ture OF the post exchange. II men are
unable to get a glass of beer in a decent
and orderly manner in the garrison.
they viii resort to the low brothels
which cluster around the borders of
the reservation. whore they drink all
manner OF alcoholic beverages and
sink into dehauchery and ruin"
The report says the present system
OF combining military convicts in post
guardhouses Is demoralizing IN many
respects, necessitating the placing OF
recruits confined for military ofenses
with men OF long guardhouse records
and with criminals. For long-term men
return to the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth OF other similar institu-
ton is urged.

BAD SMELL OF TOBACCO
DUE TO RAINY WEATHER
Same Grades Used in Manu-
facture But Stock Has
Deteriorated

What vile tobacco is being smoked BY
Wilmirg gton men," remarked lady the
other day. This expression has been
heard upon all sides. Wherever smokers
are encountered the same complaint is
heard.
A prominent tobacconist and cigar man
ufacturer when approached by an Even
ing Journal reporter regarding the con-
ditions said;
1T Is not because smokers are buying a
cheaper grade OF tobacco. but because
the tobacco itself is not near so good.
On the contrary" he continued. ''peop.e
are gradually becoming educated 20
smoking better grades and never be-
fore have we sold as much good tobacco
as at present.
'aThe grades have deteriorated. In the
first place the tobacco which we are now
manufacturing into cigars is of the crops
OF 1901. which was badly damaged by
rain and since its arrival here has suf-
fered from the prolonged damp spells.
The same grades Of tobacco and even
better, are got.en for the manufacture
Of standard cigars. but when they are
lighted they give out a stencil like burn
ing cabbage leaves"
The damp weather here has bad ef-
feet upon the tobacco and cigars after
they are put into the stores. The best
tobaeconists keep as much Of their stock
IN aid tight cases as possible as the air
from the open doors cause it to become
sticky and gummed together.
