The Canteen Again.

One of the interesting echoes of
the medical convention in Boston is
that of discussion of the canteen
system for the army. The talk
that arose over this really import
ant concomitant of life at mill
tary posts showed that those who
best understand the common sol
dier and his habits are the ones
who are strongest IN their desire
to see the canteen restored.
The whole argument of those who
believe in liquor selling at posts
was best summed up by DR.. Charles
r. Woodruff, L. s A, when he said:
I Will admit that the canteen is an
evil thing. and that II is doubly repug-
nant to sec the Government engaged in
the liquor business. but the canteen sys-
tom S1s driven out a much greater
evil. and we have proved conclusively
that ii is step in the cause of tenn
perance- The low dives which now eN-
ist outside the army posts are much
worse than the canteen.
Ard who are they who procured
the abolition of the canteen, and
who still have power, through their
threats to Congressman, to prevent
its restoration? WeIl-meaning, con-
scientious people, whose abhorrence
of alcohol in any form has blinded
them to the fact that some forms
can be infinitely worse than others.
They fOndly believe that the
abolishing of the canteen is making
teetotalers of enlisted men. They
ignore the well-grounded opinions
of those whose army experiences
tell them this truth:
That the cause of temperance is
always best served by the furnish
ing of the less fiery liquids in de-
cent surroundings.
Such is the good work the old
canteen accomplished, and it was a
mistake TO suppress it.

Endangering the School Bill.

The school bill is In grave danger.
After all the fine service given to
the cause of better schools and bet
ter school administration in the
District of Columbia by Senator
Gallinger, Senator Burkett, and SEN
ator Scott in the one house, and Rep
resentatiye Foster, Representative
Morrell, and Representative Greene
in the other. ii. is yet possible the
bill may not become law and the
benefit to the Capital be lost.
The cause Of this danger is the
activity of place-hunters. When the
bill went to conference it carried
an advance in pay and a place to
work for every teacher now in the
system. But theSfriends of certain
teachers are Sc reluctant to have
those teachers relinquish advantages
they now enjoy (although, if the
teachers are competent, they need
not fear) that they are willing to
jeopardize the whole cause in be-
half of those teachers.
Anyone who read yesterdays pa
per viii not need be told where the
controversy centers. 1t is on the
prospective abolition of the office
of director of high schools and the
transfer of the duties of that office
to the province of the white assist
ant superintendent. Both results
are contemplated in amendments
made to the House bill by the Sem
ate.
Profound reasoning is not re-
quired to show that both steps are
entirely justified. There are at
present practically no duties at
taehed to the Office of the white
assistant superintendent. The place
is a sinecure, That officer can well
be occupied with the high schools.
for in Washington the number of
high school pupils is unusually large
and the importance of the high
school course unusually great. AT
present two salaries are paid for
work which ought to be obtained

PRESIDENT GETS NEWS
OF HIS UNCLE'S DEATH

President Roosevelt received word
this morning that the funeral of his
uncle, Robert r. Roosevelt of SayvilIe,
l. J., who died at 4 a. m today. will be
held on Monday. 1t is not known yet
whether the President will be able to
attend or not. as the closing work of
Congress may make his absence from
Washington. even for a day or two, out
of the question
Mr.. Roosevelt. of Sayville was said
to be the wealthiest member of the
Presidents family. his estate being vari
ouSly estimated at from $1.000 600 to
S4.0O0,Ooe. He was a plain. unassuming,
kind-hearted old man. who would have
been mistaken by the average person
for a fairly well-to-do farmer He
dressed rather carelessly. and smoked
long black cigars. His last visit to
Washington was made last winter and
he dropped in without first notifying
his nephew. the President, of his inten-
tions. He rode up from the station
in street car. and wandered into the
office building
He had some difficulty in gaining ad-
mittance. but when the President spied
him. he uttered a shout of pleasure
why. Uncle Robert" he cried How
are you anyway. Say I'm awfully glad
% see you" and the President rushed
suF and began pumphandling the old
man in a. way that would have terrified
less vigorous relative.

The Pass Question BrOadens.

Rumor has been busy since the
railroad rate bill went back to con
ference with stories that it is to
be kept there till adjournment is
imminent and then brought out
with an agreement that will exclude
from it any pass legislation. In the
hurry of getting business closed up
and fastening out of Washington,
it is calculated the measure viii
readily enough meet acceptance at.
the hands of statesmen none too
ready at best to give. up their trans
portation favors.
So long as Senator Tillman is on
that conference committee, the
country viii be loath to believe any
such report. The South Carolinian
viii hardly Oe found helping such
a scheme. Congress may be will
ing enough to see it carried out,
but Congress viii discover, if it en-
ters upon such an enterprise, that
the country is watching it closely.
The country has reached its decision
on this pass question, and that de-
cision is not going to be changed.
Transportation favors are not ap-
proved, and people who take them
are bound TO ,injure themselves by
so doing.
No more remarkable proposal has
Been made in this connection than
that of Senator Carter, who would
compel the railroads to haul Sena-
tors and Representatives, ad Iibitum,
free of charge. That plan means
simply the legalization of a wrong
1t does not mean righting a wrong.
The prediction is ventured that
Congress could more safely increase
the salaries of its own members
than TO legislate such a privilege
into its list of perquisites. Sen
ator Carter assured his colleagues
that salaries ought TO be increased
. but that cowardice prevents it. He
is right in that; but the proposal
TO take from the railroads that
which they have not the courage
frankly to take from the Treasury
will not help the situation.
Statesmen who can't live on their
salaries should be direct and frank
about the matter. We imagine the
fear of public protest against
salary increase is largely buncombe,
anyhow. There is not likely to be
another such revolt against the in
crease of the Congressman's salary
as occurred in the early seventies.
The people would rather pay all
the compensation of their repre-
sentatives and be sure who was rep
resented than 20 have the railroads
make up part of it and leave un-
certainty as to who was the en-
ployer.

who include several men with national
regulations. will be joined by Senator
ChaUncey NJ Depew. whose physicians
believe that the life he viii lead at
NIUldoon's viii do much TO restore him
to his normal condition.
Reports that the Senator is already
an inmate are incorrect. He is still in
seclusion with certain members of his
family at the Mortons. Patton place.
near Dobb's Ferry. on the road to Ards
ley. This place he engaged when he
was compelled to vacate the Schienelin
villa. at Scarborough, where he lived
since last winter.
His friends find the Senator's improv-
ing health a source of qualification.
especially in the face Of the rumors
that have been spread that he was
hopelessly broken down mentally and
physically. He is undergoing the rest
cure. and under this course of treat
ment Is barred from engaging in any
tasks wearing upon his mentality.
Of late. however. he has been per
mitted to give his attention a few min
utes each day to matters of personal
business interest, and it is believed that
by fall he viii be in a position to re
sumo his public activities.
It is not denied that much OF tht
Senator's mental vigor and decision are
lacking, but the hope is entertained tina
with returning strength these defects
Will be also overcome. 1t Is considered
a favorable symptom that he is to be
come one of Muldoon's pupils" fol
were he as weak as has been reported
it is most unlikely that he would be
placed in the institution.
