Edna. Texas. Sept. 2S.-About l
O'Clock today a most horrible tragedy
was committed about one and one-half
miles below the town OF Edna
Mrs. A. j. Conditt and four Of her
children We're murdered, the Oldest a
girl 13 years old. The others, three
boys, were aged from 6 to 10 years.
The bodies OF he three boys were
found lying close together and IL looks
as though they were struck uuwn
with rapldity while they were trying
TO fee
4 baby about . years old was the
only one left alive. All Of them seem
ed to have been murdered with some
blunt instrument Their heads were
crushed and their throats cut with a
knife or razor. The girl and mother
had been ravished and killed in the
house. The boys were killed about 100
Yards away. Mr.. Conditt was away
working in the rice fields. 4 negro boy
about IL years Of age was plowing IN
"A field near the house at the time OF
tho killing and heard the children
screaming: he saw man running al

the house Being afraid to go to the
house. ne ran to niegHor's house
and told what he rad seen. The party
informed ran to the place and found
the five members OF the family killed.
Officers were informed at once and
the entire country is out in posses In
search of the fiends. It Is supposed
that there were two OF them. Dogs
have been sent for.
The whole country has turned out
in the chase after the murderers. The
dogs arrived from Wharton tonight
and were taken to the scene OF the
crime.
The dogs have taken no trail away
from the scene ~ the crime. At /.
o'clock this morning they have made a
circle about a mile around the house
and are still trying to strike a trail

THE ARMY cANTEEN.

n is known that Secretary .Taft
agrees with his predecessor in the
war department Mr. Elihu Root, that
the army canicen should be restored,
and It IS believed that he will recon.
mend ita restoration In his annual
report The actual consideration OF
this question by congress would, OF
course. bring about a general revival
Of the discussion that preceded the
enactment Of the anti-canteen law,
now In force. But eye1 the distaste for
that sort Of agitation should not deter
congress from entering upon the re-
consideration Of a question that Is of
very vital importance to the army.
The anu-canteen law was passed
more as an experiment than as the
result Of conviction. The clamor for
the measure was SO strong that con
gross yielded TO It more to show a dis.
position TO give the proposed regula-
tion a trial than to manifest faith ia
the efficacy or p,rmanency Of the
measure The trial has been fully
made. As a result almost all post OH
GERS are in favor Of a return TO the
canteon. It Is especially significant
that the Womcn's Army and Navy
league. composed OF the wives and
daughters of soldiers, is in favor of
the canteen. In the face of the leagues
preference, the objections OF the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union
should coun; as naught, for those OBJ.
iections are based on abstract princi-
pies, and in this instance, at least,
they have not recognized the partic-
ular elements at variance with those
principles.
For instance. the matter OF the can.
teen should not be confused with ordi.
nary temperance or prohibitory move
ments. The abolition of the canteen
does not remove liquor from the reach
OF the soldiers. 1t merely furnishes
the men OF the army and navy an ex
cuse to get their drinks as they
please, and the result is a marked in
crease In drunkenness and demorali
zation generally The canteen regu
lates drinking. 1t conserves good hab
fits, discipline and morals 1t is unques
tionably the best device yet adopted
to regulate the drinking habit amonl
the soldiers.
