ARMY CANTEEN LAW
An Effort Being Made by the Army Officers Have the Cante
Law Repealed but is Expected that Their Efforts Will b
in Vain. @

Washington, d. c., Jan. 6.-Ever
since the anti-canteen law was enact
ed there has been persistent effort
to repeal it. The effort has been re-
newed with redoubled energy this ses-
sion. The plan of attack has some
new features this year. The army
officers generally are opposed to the
law and many of them have been
quoted to show that the soldier being
deprived OF. liquor within military lin
it's persists in going outside of those
limits and filling himself up with the
vilest kind of stuff; that this practice
results IN prolonged debaucheries and
wholesale desertions, threatening the
overthrow of all discipline. The ad-
mission of these things does not speak
very eloquently for the enforcement
OF army regulation. nor does it prove
that a soldier who was allowed a few
drinks each day within military limits
would not, as a consequence of those
few drinks, all the more desire to 20
outside of the limits for more. 1t is
what the lawyers would call,an argu-
mentum absurdum. 1t isn't reason
able to say that 1t is easier to control
an enlisted man who is partly drunk
than it is to control him when he is
sober. for that is what the argument
amounts to.
This year the campaign against the
prohibition statute has been opened
with a pathetic appeal to the senti-
mental side of congressman. This ap-
peal is made through the medium of
novel written by an army officer Cop

is outside military bounds, but being

miral Glass, commanding the Twelfth
and Thirteenth naval districts, will be

pointed to the naval academy in 1860
from Illinois and graduated in time to
take part in some of the stirring naval
engagements that marked the close of
the civil war. AS ensign he was pres
ent in all the general engagements in
Charleston harbor in 1863 and at the
close of the war had risen to the
grade of lieutenant. He reached the
rank of rear admiral Oct. 9, 1901.
Admiral Glass commanded the old
cruiser Charleston of the Asiatic
squadron In 1898 and conveyed the
first division of American troops to the
Philippines. He commanded at the
capture of the Ladrone islands June
20. 1898, and served as captain of the
port of Manila after its surrender in
August of the same year. He is re-
garded as an authority on marine in
ternational law and has written sew
eral books on the subject.

The following letter, although
not witten for publication, is so
interesting that we have taken
the liberty to transfer it to our
columns that others may share
our pleasure.
DANvlLLE, Prov OF QUE.
October 18th, 1906.
Dear Emma: am all alone this
afternoon and will write youas |
promised. 1t is awful|y hard to
get down to letter writing while
visiting. You, perhaps, have
noticed this, fact yourself.
We are now visiting on the
old farm where Mr.. Burbank
was born. He has shown me
the old rocks where he played
in his childhood days, also the
sugar camps where his people
made hundreds of pounds of SUI
gar. Thi . Maple sugar is so
much better than any we get in
Iowa. | am going to bring you
some home with me SO you can
see how nice it is.
The leaves now on these SUI
gar trees are showing their most
beautiful autumn shades. Ev-
cry imaginable hue. have stood
in the warm sunlight and look
ed at this lovely scene, together
with the rocks, the hills, the
green meadows, the cattle gra-
ling, and wished that was an
artist and able to paint a land
scape scene as now see it. 1t
all seems so perfectly peaceful,
and there is a feeling of rest
comes over me as | stand and
look at it.
While this all seems so nice
to me, | never could like to live
in Canada. Farming is carried
on here with many disadvanta-
ges. The soil contains so many
stones, and in a general way it
is rough and broken.
| took such a miserable cold
on my way here, but | am bet
ter now and have gained some
since we came. Mr.. Burbank
is enjoying everything,,and feel
ing we'll. He has been fishing
for trout and caugf t a number.
We had such a nice visit with
my sister in Detroit and Pontiac
Detroit is a lovely city, so
clean, with wide streets and
magnificent buildings. We took
an auto, and spent an after
noon sightseeing, with a guide
who explained everything. We
visited "Belle Isle Park which
is considered the finest in the
country. This island contains
about seven hundred acres, To-
Gated at the enterance to Lake
st. Clair. The bridge from the
main land is a half mile long.
1t was perfectly delightful
crossing on this bridge in the
auto. The water in the Detroit
river was so blue or green some
would call it. This beautiful
Belle Isle has countless canals
and waterways, lovely gardens,
magnificent drives through for
esls growing in their wild state,
horticultural hall, aquarium,
geological gardens, etc. can
not begin to write all about this
now, but will remember to tell
you whenI return, but l could
