SHOULD THE OLD SOLDIER
 HAVE THE CANTEEN
Many of the Army Men of the Country Say YesDpamen Com mandr 1haehe of Connecticut Among the Number That Thinks Congre, Erred in Passig the Canteen Law.

an advocate of the canteen for the army, and the privilege of one at soldiers home, if desired. l am 2 believer in temperance. The canteer vastly assists temperance. Statistics prove it. Practical army men advo- cate it. When prohibitionists fight the canteen they are simply pouring loil on the running gear of doggeries dives and absolute resorts. If the matter is brought up in proper form in the national encampment, I am oi the opinion that there will be prac- tically unanimous sentiment in favor of the canteen."
 M. A. 0. Hussey, assistant adjutant general of Louisiana, says that "at the time congress legislated the army canteen out of existence, experienced ones thought it mistake, and the practical test has proven that 1t was This is one of the cases where theory and practice do not work in harmony. It has resulted in shutting off the canteen spigot and opening the sa- loon bunghole, and in the change the soldier gets the vilest of drinks" Benjamin A. Hamilton, assistant adjutant-general of Tennessee, says he is teetotaler himself, but If a man will drink he believes in giving him the best grade of swill that is possible and relieve him of the temp tation to hunt low class of brutes to get what he wants"
 George A. Harman, department commander of Ohio, says he is not competent to judge the question, but he believes that the officials of sol diers' homes are the men who know most about it.
 J. H. Thacher, assistant adjutant- general of Connecticut, announced himself emphatically with Corporal Tanner, and says the old soldiers will try to convince the young law mak- CTS" of their error and persuade them to nullify the whole scheme.
 Thomas H. Mills, department com mander of West Virginia, declares he is teetotaler himself, but I be- lieve the canteen is necessary both in the army and the homes."
 Charles A. Suydam, assistant ad- jutant-general of Pennsylvania, writ ing from Philadelphia, says: 'tI have always been of the opinion that the abolition of the canteen from army posts and soldiers homes was a mis- take. The testimony of officers of the regular army, relatives to the evil results that have resulted since the abolishment of the canteen, should convince any fair minded per son that these officers are interested In the welfare of their men. These old boys are fixed in their habits and why not let them have their enjoy ment surrounded by the restraining rules of the homes. I hope the time is near at hand when congress will vote for restoration of the canteen.'
 Philip s. Chase, assistant adjutant- general of Rhode Island; w. H. Kim. ball, department commander of Georgia, and Frank P. Sterling, as sistant adjutant-general of Montana are :amenss5Ae others who favor the restoration of the canteen.
