f ARMY CANTEEN AGAIN.

y The Secretary Of WNr has received
q letter from Noel Il vines. the In
spector General Of the State of
Kentucky. The author writes in
vigorous protest against the argu-
ment of Inspector General Burton,
Of the Army, in favor the csnteen.
The letter is II rambling production
with the qualities of a temperance
appeal, and otherwise notably as
containing the charge that army
o hcers are lawbreakers and hypo-
cities. This allegation is based on
the assumptio On that there exist at
numerous posts officers clubs where
liquor is sold and where the hOrrid
examples excite the enlisted men
to conduct that is "revengefIl, reck-
less and obstinate. The protest
would be ignored were it not for
the fact that it comes from man
who has some standing in his home
community, who held II commission
in the volunteer army during the
war with Spain, and who later was
u first Lieutenant of the artillery
army, resigning from the military
service in September, 1902. Gaines
did fine service in the Philippines,
where he unearthed the commissary
frauds and played prominent aud
effective part in the punishment of
the cuIprits. Afterwards, while he
was attached to the Inspector Gem
erals Department as volunteer
officer he was instrumental in deal
ing with certain untOward cOndi-
tions in Manila at time when
treachery was rampant, and it re-
uuired nerve to tackle the secret
offenders. 1t is understood that
Gaines belongs to n family which
is, or has been, largely interested
in distillery business i'm Kentucky,
but that incident need not of course,
make him ineligible as an agitator
against the canteen. Gaines bears
q good reputation on account of his
volunteer service, and that recol-
lection is the only thing which
saves him from being held up TO
ridicule on account of letter which
does him no special discredit, how.
ever one is inclined to give him the
"benefit of the doubt.
