CIVILIZATION MEETING.
Members of Army and Navy Canteen
Club Happy.

A ''jubilation meeting was held by the
ladies of the Army and Navy Canteec Club
last evening at S,1 Sd street, following the
visit of a committee of the club to the
White House, and the Endorsement of their
plans for the restoration of the canteen by
President Roosevelt. The parlors in which
the session was held were decorated with
army rifles. swords, canteens and other
paraphernalia of war. The walls were
drape2 with American flags and a portrait
of President Roosevelt clad in his khaki
uniform, colonel of Rough Riders, oc-
cupied central place
The first business transacted was the
unanimous adoption of resolutions heartily
thanking the President for his Endorsement
of 1.-The unselfish work of the Canteen Club
in the interest of the moral and physical
betterment of the American soldiers
Attention was directed to the recent kill
ing of member of the Artillery Corps in
a saloon near Fort Washington by fellow
soldier, who was said to have been "crazed
by strong drink of the vicious kind sold to
soldiers in barrooms in the vicinity of mill
tary posts.' 1t was the sense of the meet
ing that had the canteen been in vogue at
Fort Washington the alleged murder would
not have occurred.
Mrs. Harry V. Shurtieff, wife of an officer
of the Marine Corps said there was no
record in the annals of the army or navy
of tragedy having occurred as the result
of the small quantity of beer or light wines
OBTAINED by soldiers, sailors marines
from their canteens.
Another member declared that the
Brownsville trouble was directly traceable
to the abolition of the canteen She said
that had the colored soldiers been allowed
the privilege of canteen at their post near
Brownsville they would not have gone into
the town for liquor, been assigned to Jim
Crow bars, and finally have shot I'D the
town and murdered a law officer and others
Mrs. IneZ Seymour Mcconnell, president
of the club, made direful predictions if the
anti-canteen law is allowed to stand.
Taking the past few years as prece-
dent the future would be fruitful of great
trouble to the soldiers" she said
THE abolition of the canteen was brought
about by women" Mrs. j. Walter Mitchell
declared, land American women of sense
will bring about its restoration Our fight
is one of a sensible and practical proposf.
ton against theory and the impracticable.
and common sense, justice and right will
win"
Miss Elizabeth Winchester, secretary of
the club, announced that arrangements
have been made to give a progressive euchre
to which army and navy officers and a
number of distinguished men will be in
vited.
Among the new members added to the
club were Mrs. NJ. H. Snyder, Mrs Dunlap.
Miss Daisy E. Williams and Miss Mae Is.
Vaughn.
The club is considering the adyisabilfty
of adopting miniature army canteen as
its emblem. Steps are being taken to form
clubs in a number of cities and towns
throughout the country.

A thing for the telegraph compan-
les and the telegraph operate RS to
remember is that in the strike that
has been inaugurated, their interests
are not only interests to be consider
ed. The interests of the public are
much greater than theirs. The tele-
graph companies are only servants Of
the public and the operators are a
part of the telegraph system. There
are eighty millions of people who
are to a greater or less extent de-
pendent upon the telegraph compan
les in one way and another. Those
who are not engaged in business that
requires the use of the wires, or
have no occasion to send social mes
sages, are interested in the prompt
transmission of the news-the mar
kets as we'll as the general news.
Hence, any considerable interruption
of the telegraph system is bound to
bring out a strong protest and con-
domination of those responsible for
the interruption. 1t would be diff
ficult matter to SO place the respon-
sibility for the strike that the decis-
ion would be accepted by both sides.
The public isn't going into a thorough
Investigation of the subject, but it is
going to hold somebody responsible
if there is lengthy interruption of
the transmission of messages

LIES MIRROR.

There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to
you.
Give love, and love to your life will
flow
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed
Give truth, and your gift will be paid
in kind,
And honor with honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror of king and
slave;
'Tis just what we are and do
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to
you"

THE TELEGRAPHERs STRIKE
Comment of Georgia Newspapers on
the Great Tie-Up.
Savannah Press.)

In many countries the telegraph is
a part of the postal department. Tho
cost of the message is greatly re-
duced, and the efficiency of the SER
vice is generally increased. This is
vastly different from the government
ownership of railroads. Acquiring
the lines of transportation would be
much more cumbersome and expeu-
sive than looping the telegraph loop
to the postal department. The gov
eminent ought to control the avenues
of communication, and one day may
do it. The prevalence of a big strike
like this, by which thousands of
people are being incommoded, may
be an object lesson, and the govern
ment may be educated either 20 alb
sorb the great lines or to string up
its own lines.

Now we begin to realize what an
important and Indispensable fellow
the telegraph operator is. And we
can also realize at the same time, by
doing a little thinking, how depen-
dent we all are one upon the other
as We trudge along life's pathway.
There is something for all to do, and
there are duties for each one to
perform. And in business and all the
arteries and avenues of commerce and
trade we are one great community of
co-dependents.
