RIDING FREE HORSE
MISUSE OF FRANkING PRIVILEGE
ALLOWED CONGRESSMAN IN
MATTER OF MAIL.
Thousands of U~nfrankable illustrated
Circulars Sent u With Congress
sionaI Stuff on Good Roads n
Other Subjects-Harmfulness Of
Abolition of tine Canteen.

Washington, March 24.-The contro,
versy which has arisen over the alleged
misuse Of the ranking privilege by
Rev. Wilbur +. Crafts and others in
terested in certain pending legislation
has caused widespread discussion over
the methods employed in working up
public sentiment. Rev. w. p. Brown
low OF Tennessee, who claims paternl-
ty of the good roads bill, is known
10 have permitted his frank to be used
in the transmission of thousands Oh
Illustrated nonfrankable circulars all
over the country. Officers OF certain
temperance societies are said to have
distributed several million speeches un-
der franks which would be no viola
ton of the law were it not for the fact
alleged hat alter beng sealed the
ranked envelopes were reopened and
nonfrankable matter inserted. That
this allegation has q very solid foun-
dation in fact is evidenced by the re-
ceipt here during the past few days OF
hundreds of such speeches accompan-
led by circulars having no connection
with official publications., which were
shipped back to. Washington by the re-
cipients in the original government en-
velopeS. In some cases these contain
ed, in addition to arguments favoring
the temperance Or prohibition cause,
appeals for money to help pay the eX-
pense of maintaining the bureaus here
which send such things out.
That such efforts frequently do a
vast amount OF harm seems to be evil
dent from statistics gathered by the
War department. 1t was through just
such a propaganda that congress was
induced, against its better judgment,
to abolish the army canteen. The mis-
guided, but well-meaning people, who
secured this legislation, believed that
the army ~Canteen, where beer and
light wines We're sold practically at
cost to the enlisted men, were condu-
ficer of the army testified to the con-
trary, but the advice of those best
qualified 10 judge was %unheaded, and
the canteen was abolished. There
were at the time 1877 canteens-one at
each army post. Since then 4,962
dives OF the lowest character have
sprung up around these 1877 posts and,
according to the medical authorities
OF the army, the result is appalling.
Drunkenness has increased 400 per
cent among the Unlisted men. Crime
of all grades, from murder down, 800
per cent. Diseases due to debauchery
have increased $50 per cen and in
sanity 76 per cent, and all this in spite
of the fact that at the timo the can
teens were closed the United States
military establishment consisted of
104, 500 men. whereas the number is
o reduced to $500. These figures
are not imaginary, but are taken from
the official records of the war depart
ment. They seem to demonstrate con
clusively that a grave mistake was
made when the canteen was abolished
in response to n worked up public
sentiment.
