BENEFIT OF CANTEEN

Remedy Suggested.

That the canteen is of great moral benefit
to the army is the claim made by Brig Gen.
c. H. Burton in his annual report as fnspec-
tor general of the army. 1t seems to be al
most the unanimous sentiment OF the
army, he says, that the one thing lacking

Justly claim that it is more injurious to the
health or morality of soldier to drink mild
beer in a well-regulated canteen at post,
where gambling is prohibited and excuses
are not tolerated than it Is to drink bad
whisky in vile den off the reservation,
where drinking and gambling are encourage
ed without restraint. In fact, the canteen
feature is not only a benefit morally, but the
profits derived from the sales of beer and
light wines used to improve the mess,
as we'll as for the purchase of periodicals,
publications, ETC., all of which add to the
soldiers comfort and contentment. The
army wants the canteen feature because

ana rest for recuperation, that no economy
to the government will result.
Chronic absenteeiSm of officers from their
companies and their continued service on
detached duty is criticised by Gen. Burton
as detrimental to the service.
General Mess System Unpopular.
The general mess system continues to be
unpopular. 1t has been given fair trial
at various posts, says General Burton, ana
has been generally pronounced unsatisfac-
tory. He says it's discontinuance has been
effected at some posts, and should De, as
soon as practicable, at all others where it
obtains
The organization of the Philippine scouts
has not been changed during The year.
There has been no cause to doubt their 10y
atty to the United States, and their good
conduct, soldierly bearing, snap and pre-
cision at drill have proved their aptitude
for the military service.
Most of the companies are on duty with
the civil government for tactical purposes
only" and this fact has suggested to some
of the inspectors that the emergency has
passed for such an adjunct to the regular
army of the United States, but it seems
that the insular treasury is unable to bear
the expense of maintaining a sufficient
force of constabulary, and the necessary
additional assistance is rendered by the
scouts.
Increase in Desertions.
Tables show that the annual percentage
of assertions, average strength considered,
has increased, with rapid strides and some-
what uniform ratio, from 43 in 1901 TO the
extraordinary figure of SO OBS per cent in
crease) for the past fiscal year, in which
the total of 5,S73 assertions occurred.
Among the causes which are given as
leading to desertion are the large number
of bad men among the recruits who are I'M
fitted for the service, or unwilling to sub
NIT to discipline and instruction.; lack OF
canteen, which drives men to the low grog-
gerieS and brothelS, where many soldiers
troubles originate; too much school and
books; the general mess at some pests. and
the large amount of fatigue work at others.
Referring to assertions, General burton
says: 1T is crime against patriotism,
honor and oath-bound oblgations-a crime
punishable by death in time of war-a crime
through which evil seed is sown against the
army by the vilffication of these unpun-.

He Is a Stalwart republican in politics,

Not an Orator, but a Worker.

Mr.. Crane makes no pretense to oratory,
and is modest and unassuming. He has ha d
large success in business, and the highly
satisfactory manner in which he discharged
the office of governor is accepted as assur
ance that he will make a useful senator,
even though he be less ornamental than
some of his predecessors.
When Mr.. Crane joins Mr.. Lodge in the
Senate Massachusetts will occupy unique
position should Mr.. Roosevelt be successful
at the polls next month. Mr.. Lodge is the
residents warm personal friend and his
most direct mouthpiece in the Senate. Mr..
Cranes relations to the President are closer,

| Roosevelt wanted Mr.. Crane to become
Secretary of the Treasury and later ten
dered him the Secretaryship of Commerce

understood, was rendered him. 1t is well
known that the President was anxious that

when Mr.. Crane pleaded i'll health
Mr.. Cranes home is at Dalton, In the ex-
IRENE western part of the state, and this
fact was very much in his favor, aside
