the party in its platform have been
redeemed. The principal measures
promised have been passed or are in
process of passage.
The legislature has been in accord
with the state and the sentiment pre-
vailing among the people. Nothing
unusual has been undertaken. Colo.
radios legislature has not furnished
paragraphs for the foolish writer's in
the East this time. The fool-killer
has not been needed. It has been
throughout business session Of
businessmen. 1t was said at the be-
ginning that individually the ma
jority of the assembly was the best
that had gathered. Towards the
close it can be said that collectively
the present body has had no super
ior and that it has satisfied the pub.
lie and added 10 the strength Of the
republican party.
A railroad commission bill bas
been passed that will place the state
shipper on an equality with the in
terstate shipper and which will re-
quire the railroads operating within
the state to bestir themselves and
get into closer tonch with the pub
| lie.
The enemy is alarmed that the
law in question may turn out to be
unconstitutional. There need be no
fear on that score. And the extrem
lists are vexsd because it will bring
about no litigation. The measure
was not intended to bring trouble;
it is a constructive law. The state
is not hsrrassed at preseut. The
people were not keeping awake O.
nights for fear that law might fail
of passage. They looked for an en-
actment that would do away with
certain evils and yet not interfere
with the progress Of the state. If
they had sought different kind Of
measure they would have listened
last year to Mr.. Patterson and his
band Of agitators.
With first-class railroad commits
sion such as Gov. Bushtel can be

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA number
10: Washington women, friends and rel.
atives of the American soldier, have
started a movement, the principal OBJ.
ject being the restoration of the army
canteen. The women have formed a
society 10 be known as the Army Can
teen Club and have taken steps to
form similar clubs in the States. and 1t
81 said that the work of establishing
army canteen clubs has been inaugur-
ated in several places in New Pork
State. as well as in Chicago and Gin
cinnati.
The formation of the club Is found.
ed In the belief of the members of the
Washington club that the restoration
of the army canteen will be in the in
terest of genuine, practical temper
ance and against what they designate
as "the mistaken theory Of temper
ance." They nave quoted from the
unanimous Endorsement OF the Ameri-
can Medical Society OF the movement
!or the restoration of the canteen to
the military posts and soldiers homes.
Mrs. Enez Seymour Mcconnell is pres
ident of the Washington canteen club,
Miss Charlotte Walhofer. vice presi-
dent: Miss Bessie Winchester, secre.
tary; Miss Lizzie Mulhofer, treasurer:
Mrs. f. c. Mitchell. financial secretary.
and Miss Narcissa Hayes, serGeant-at-
arms and Mr.. Lee NJ. Davidson, Of
Chicago organizer and spohsor. The
club adopted as a badge and emblem
c miniature tin canteen. made ate.
the model of those wor by Uncle
Sans fighting men. and will wear
these badges in their fight for the res
toration of the canteen.
In an address issued by one of the
officers of the club the following senti-
ments were expressed:
1--WE expect to be seconded in out
efforts for the return Of the army can,
teen most heartily by the wise moth,

who agree with us that the enactment
Of the Auti.canteen law was al! advis.
ed and has resulted in a large increase
OF habituai drunkards in the army, as
is shown by the recent report Of Sur
geon General o'ReiI!N U. S. A. We
also agree with Lieutenant General
Corbin, who Is a real Temperance man
that since the abolition OF the canteen
there has been an increase OF immoral
ity. drunkenness, lack of military dis
cipline. desertion and general dissatis
faction in the army.
1--WE also believe that at heart d
large majority of Senators and Repre-
sentatives IN Congress agreed with
practically the unanimous American
army that a grave mistake was made
when the canteen was abolished. We
nelieve in real. not theoretics! temper
