The Canteen Again.

The ladies OF the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union held their
annual convention in this city yester-
day. There was much elf-gratula-
ton among them because some cler-
gyman has said their body is the
greatest lawmaker in existence. The
basis for this allegation is said to be
found in the facts that a study of
the effect of alcohol upon the human
system has been added to the public
school course; the age of protection
laws have been changed for the bet
ter in all the States; and anti-canteen
legislation has been enacted.
No one should grudge the ladies
any satisfaction they can get from
looking upon themselves as the
mainsprings OF virtue, temperance,
and legislation; bat the fact remains
saat man, brutal, besotted, misguided
man, still has faint glimpses of the
truth that even these ladies cannot
befog and have never attained. All
men will agree with the ladies that
their efforts have been well-directed
in attempting to diffuse information
as TO the effect of alcohol on the
human organism; even the time lost
in the schools fion other studies
should not be begrudged-provided
the truth, and nothing but the truth,
"a fn1d GA al
will applaud the success of the move
ment TO raise the age of protection
But in regard to the wisdom of ex-
Guiding beer and light wines from
the post exchanges of the army even
a modest degree of experience in this
world would entitle anyone to differ
with these good women
There was one statement made yes
terday that should not go unchal-
lenged, although it carries its full
answer with it. II was said:
"All those who favor having liquor
(beer and wine) put back into the
canteen consider the liquor-loving
.SQldiers only; such are of little ac-
cdunt, anyway. Why not consider
abstainers and keep liquor
out FOR their sakes?"
Why not indeed? Why shouldn't
the hail always wag the dog? Why
notI consider the Mormon element
and make polygamy compulsory?
How many total abstainers ever
reach the enlisted ranks of the army?
Is it fair to say that the liquor-loving
soldiers are of little account? Is it

King Leopold's SoliloQuy.

Mark Twain has undertaken to fay
Leopold ii. King of the Belgians, chief
exploiter of the Internal Congo. Not
only TO fay him, but to rub salt and
cayenne pepper into the raw ends of
the exposed nerves of his conscience.
1t is to be doubted if the attempt
will succeed, for Leopold long ago
recognized conscience as a kind of
vermiform appendix and had it re-
moved as an unnecessary incum-
brance
In brochure entitled King Leo
pold's Soliloquy," Mr.. Clemens at
tempts the almost impossible task of
constructing a self-condemnatory in
trospection of a character essentially
without conscience. The work shows
careful examination Of the complaints
and answers concerning the horrible
conditions in the Congo; it has force
and humor. bur the humor is of the
bitter, awful kind that leaves an
ache in the heart. Mr.. Clemens
makes Leopold TO be something of a
modern edition of Louis XI. But
the work isn't what might have been
expected of Mark Twain it is a
serious labor of Mr.. Samuel L.
Clemens.
Mr.. Clemens foresees what effect
his effort will have upon Leopold
himself, for on pages 94-35 he puts
these words into the Kings mouth:
If n poets bite were as terrible as
his bark, why dear me-but IL isn't A
wise king minds neither of them; but
the poet doesn't know Ii. It's a case
of little dog and lightning express. When
the Gar goes laundering by, the poet
skips out and RACES alongside for a
little distance, then returns to his ken
mel wagging his head with satisfaction.
and thinks he has inflicted a memorable
scare, whereas nothing has really hap
pened-the Car didn't know he was
around.
Mr.. Clemens probably thinks as
he imagines Leopold does, that the
kodak pictures OF the Congo atroci-
ties are more forcible indictment
of Leopold than any mere words.
The book contains many illustra-
tons, the most fOrcible of which are
those showing men, women, and lit
tie children with stumps where the
right hand should be. There is also
a drawing of Leopold fleeing from a
kodak and exclaiming, 1.-THE only
witness | couldn't bribe."
Many people have come TO doubt
the existence OF hell. A careful
reading of what takes place in the
Congo, in the Caucasus, and in Po-
land, would lead one to wish there
were a hell

Hello! Who Is This2"

Americans are a direct people liv-
Ing abreast of a direct age They
are constantly shearing away formal
tiles. If they keep on another gen.
Grafton they will have reduced life
to an apotheosis of steel mechanism
One of their latest progresses has
been to admit the telephone among
the necessities of their daily life
and now, by its use, they are upset
ting old conditions and creating new
ones so rapidly that II makes your
head swim.
What they need most, at this
stage-and many newspapers have
recognized the needs a code of
telephone etiquette. 1t is not that
they ought to begin their conversa-
lions with "Ah-fine weather after
the rain" or end them with Believe
me, my dear SIR" But they ought
to learn how not to abuse the phone
before half the men who are now
using it refuse to answer when their
bells ring.
Nothing could be more unfair-or
more shortsighted-than the custom
some men employ in every city in
the United States of having their
clerks, or their Office boys, or their
charwomen call up other men who
are just as busy. whose time is just
as precious. Most business men
would rather lose trade than be met
at the telephone with lis this Mr..
-? Well, hold the wire. Mr..
Blank wants to talk to you," and
then hang to receiver five minutes
while the party" at the other end
of the wire finishes a talk with
subordinate and walks leisurely over
to his receiver.
In Washington this abuse has pc
culiarly Objectionable phases. It is
possible to reach high officials over
the telephone directly, without wait
ing by the hour in an anteroom and
studying the pictures all the way
round the wall and back again. Yet
there are local business men SO care
less of this advantage that they are
willing to jeopardizs it by making
the official waste his time on sub
ordinates and wait, helplessly, until
the Office boy gives way to the boss.
Another misuser of this conyen-
fence begins with who is this?" as
soon as the call is answered. Sound
business judgment would prompt
him to give his own name first If
ne gets the answer his impertinence
and hog-manners deserve he would
get only question for question: who
are your" or Whom do you want? ~
Of the other abuses of the tele-
phone-users who occupy a party
wire by the hour to convey such
startling information as 81 saw Won
down town yesterday" and operators
who buzz in your ear until your head
aches-it is not necessary to speak
IN this connection. The greatest
telephone need of today is the same
direct. frank consideration over the
wire that business men extend to
each other face to face. No man
sends out his Office boy to engage an
other mans ear and he ought not
to do so over the phone.
