makes a strong plea for the army can
teen. His language is earnest. In part
he says:
mo argument can be too earnest for
the re-establishment Of the canteen.
Aside from other recreation features Of
garrison life. the canteen. which is the
enlisted soldiers club room, Is a pro-
tected circle Into which no vice or deg
radiation can intrude. There the soldier
is guaranteed certain privileges which, SO
long as not abused. prove a bulwark
against the temptations and dangers that
now surround almost every post in the
army, and especially border and remote
posts To close the doors of the soldier
garrison club and send him out into the
haunts of iniquity and vice run by moral
vultures. who, degraded themselves, set up
no standard of morality. but, breaking
down all barriers Of restraint invite and
induce the soldiers to join in all sorts Of
depravity and infamy, is a wrong to the
soldier as well as a wrong to the commun-
ity in which the soldier Is located"

On the death of his father in 1868. Lord
Cranborne succeeded to the Marquisate of
Salisbury. and a seat in the house of lords
In November. 1869. he was elected chan
cellor Of the University of Oxford, to sue
coed the late Lord Derby.
He was again appointed secretary of state
for India. when MIR. Disraeli returned to of
flee in 1874. He represented Great Britain
at the conference of ConStantinople in 1876,
in which he took the leading part.
While abroad he visited the various capt.
tails of Europe. In 1878 he went with Lord
Beaconsfield to the Berlin conference, and
brought back, according to his colleague,
peace and honor for England.
Upon the fall of the second Gladstone gov
eminent in 1885. he became prime minister,
as he was the only man to whom the con-
sentative party could look for able leader
ship.
He was also secretary for foreign af-
fairs, retaining that post until February.
1886. In January, 1886. his government
was defeated on question of Irish home
rule. and resigned. At the end of Mr..
Gladstone's short ministry, when the lib
erals or GladStOnianS were again defea ted,
Lord Salisbury formed a second ministry,
in 1886.
Again Prime Minister.
The liberals won in the election Of Au-
gust 1892. Lord Salisbury resigned. and
Mr.. Gladstone began his fourth administra-
ton. When his party came into power in
1895. Lord Salisbury again became prime
minister. and continued in office until 1902.
At the time of his death he was seventy
three years of age. but still retained much
of his old-time strength of body and mind.
He spent a great deal of his time, in his
early life, in writing for periodicals on po-
litical and other questions. and his official
letters remain as models of fine English.
He was noted all his life for his powers of
sarcasm and ridicule. which he used free
ly when speaking in parliament
Despite his long life in the public serv-
ice, he was probably the least known of
Engfands public men, for he was of re-
firing disposition, and despised popularity.
But, probably in accordance with the say
ing that an Englishman likes to be kicked
by an Englishman, he was highly esteemed
by his countrymen. and perfect confidence
was felt by all when he took the reins of
government in his hands.

been complied with in keeping it separate
and distinct bridge, free from consolidation
or working agreement with other bridges.
