WOMEN FAVOR THE CANYEEN.


Among the ladies OF the army there
exists an association known as tho
"Womcn's Army and Navy League" Its
object is to promote tho general welfare
and contentment OF the enlisted men. 1t
includes in it's membership some OF the
most notable women connected with the
|army--womcn who have proved their
Christian devotion to tho arny's best in
tercsts, have husbands brothers, and sons
in the army. and have spent the most of
their lives in army posts. That assoca.
ton has presented petition to the COM
mittec in favor of the restoration Of tho
cantoen. Mrs. Kelton, widow of General
Kclton, WHO presented the petition in
person before the committee. said:
1--WE, as a body of women. admire the
work that has been done by Temperance
orga nzations opposed to tho liquor traf-
tic. and VIC think that in the country at
large they arc doing a wonderful work
but We think that in tho country they
have made a mistake in touching the
army cantccn, because VIC think they dc
not quite understand it. They did no!
understand the effect 1t had on the home
keeping of the men; that the cantccl
kept them in the post and away from
ltnc tClHptdtloHS WHICH lead II
worse results than the mere drinking
and to the associations which are so bad
| AMUSEMENT BUILDINGS NOT
| ENOUGH.
1t has been suggested that the present
law should be retained until the millor
and half appropriation for amusement
buildings ut posts is used and trial mad,
of the effect Of these amusement build
Iings. Practically this entire appropria
ton has already been used--for example
Fort Ethan Allen has such n building
costing $4,000. the limit for any post: blu
these appropriations are for the mer,
building and furnishing. They will have
mo appreciable effect ON the temperate,
lqucstion. Many posts had suitable build
lings before and all the advantages tina
the new buildings give, but tho expert
cncc In them Is the same. The amuse
mcnt buildings will have further trial be
fore the next session. but regret to sa.
with no prospect OF material improve
Imcnt in the existing condition.
1t throws much light upon tho working
of the anti-cantccn law. that within tw,
years after II was passed 3tl new saloon
were opened within one mile of arm.
