THE cANTeen AGAIN.

In another column appears a letter
from a prohibition friend who feels
called upon to denounce the army can
teen. 1t is a reasonable, fair presenta-
tien of one view of the canteen prob
lem and is entitled to respect. No
newspaper can pretend to assert know
ingly that the gentleman is wrong. The
concensus of the best judgment among
army officers, surgeons and nurses,
however, is that the canteen does ac-
tually contribute to better discipline,
and morals among the enlisted men
and their judgment would seem to be
worthy of great deal of respect.
The editor Of the T.-R. has seen the
inside of one army canteen and it was
very respectable looking place and
he has also seen the outside of sur
rounding dives at four different army
posts and they were most horrible
looking institutions.
Any man with worldly knowledge
knows that there are vices learned and
encouraged outside of an army post
that are vastly more injurious to a
soldier boys health than those that
he could possibly practice in an army
post club If he were even diabolically
disposed.
1t. ought to be possible to bring up
boys in their parents home without en-
couraging them to drink liquor but it
has been demonstrated that many
boys familiarized with liquor in their
homes ard its dangers taught there
without a maudlin sentiment have been
far less tempted to seek public dives
in their early manhood
However, this discussion is largely
academic; the main object to be sought
is liberation for the views of the other
fellow and this seems to be shown by
our Bristow friend. 1t is only when
the narrowness of bigot causes him
to charge that all who do not agree
with him are in league with the liquor
traffic that the patience of the average
man is tried.

Today there are seven of these homes

construct. The institutions speedily
became self supporting, the receipts

"There are SO many fine people in
Patton" This was said the other day
by one who has lived here for many
years and should know. The daily
life of the people in community Is
known after while. The kindness,
thoughtfulness and brotherly feeling
caused the party to make this remark
to us. The helping to take care of
the sick, the little thoughtful things
in the case of emergencies and the
little kindnesses from day to day en-
dear people to the heart of the av-
erage man. Kindness has far reach

Let US look at another phase on
the subject just a moment. There
are fine people everywhere you go.
Every community has its dear and
good souls. You will find the good
everywhere if you will only look for

a FAIR ARGUMENT.

Editor Times-Republican:
Every time a murder is committed
near an army post it is laid at the
door of the absence of the canteen in
the army. Only one feature about your
article we like. You do admit that a
murder was committed as the direct
result of bad whisky. It's an uncom-
mon thing for the modern dailies to
admit such a thing. but when you adj
nit in this instance, it is to revive the
question Of the army post canteen
again, an institution that creates ap-
petite for liquor within the army posts
