Moral Cowardice the Explanation.
Norfolk Tirginian Pilot

NOflOlE tlfglnlan -HIlOt.
The great majority of the men found
here (the soldiers canteen) all that they
wanted, place to meet their fellows, a
game OF billiards or a game of cards,
and, if they wished it, glass of beer.
Its abolition has sent them to places
Just the reverse in character.
This il the statement of Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the United States Army. 1t is in
perfect accord with the testimony
which army post commanders and
army surgeons have been annually
furnishing for years of the effects of
the abOlishment Of the canteen. With
practical unanimity they declare,
iterate and reiterate that the action
taken by Congress at the instance of
well-intentiOned temperance workers
has from the first operated and con-
tlnues to operate, to the injury,
moral and physical, of the enlisted
men whom it was designed to benefit.
Deprived OF their canteens, which
served as meeting places for harmless
amusement and where only beer and
light wines could be obtained, they
drifted to the low dives and grog-
geries which at once sprang up in
the neighborhood of army posts and
where only the vilest of chemical con-
cOctiOns passing as whiskey were
sold. The results that followed were
natural and inevitable-pronounced
increase in intemperancc, drunken
ness and disease, and general deteri-
grafton, moral and physical, on the
part of the enlisted men, accompa-
MED by greatly increased difficulty in
maintaining discipline. The persist
ent refusal OF Congress to correct, by
restoring the canteen, a mistake
which has been conclusively demon
strated to be such, can only be ex-
planned by the low average of moral
courage obtaining among members
OF the making branch Of the Fed
eral Government. The fact OF the
matter is that the average Represen-
tative or Senator is more concerned
in retaining his seat together with
the salary and perquisites attaching
thereto, than about the moral and
physical welfare of the enlisted men
of the United States army. Other
wise the canteen would have been re-
stored long ago.

Public Watering Trouxh

Philip has invested tl25OO in a
system of water works. 1t speaks
louder than words of the generos-
ity and enterprise of her people.
1t stands as a monument of her
progressive spirit, and ideas of
modern scientific conveniences.
Now let the public get some use
of it. A watering trough for the
dumb animals would be conven-
lent and desirable and very much
appreciated, not only by the peo-
pie of Philip but by every passer
by who travels through this coun-
try. 1t would advertise the town
as much as any one thing that has
yet been done. 1t would be q rare
thing for a town so new and so
far in the west, and it certainly
would be commented on by all
users as praiseworthy, commend
able act. If the city hasn't the
money VIC would suggest the pass
ing of the hat, for as a deruier
resort that always succeeds in
Philip. The tax payers would feel
that they we're getting some good
out of the expenditure.

4th of July Picnic Suggestion

There will be many people in
Philip who will not go away to
spend the 4th. Why wouldn't it
be good plan to have a general
picnic down in the shade by the
river where the cottonwood grows
and the silvery Bad river wends
Its way! There is nothing that
would be more delightful and en-
Joyable then general gathering
of our citizens our handsome
women and pretty girls, down OH
the mOssy banks beneath the shade
of the old elm trees. There is Pat
Gallagher, the coming Patrick
Henry of this new epoch, who
could give us stirring address on
the beauties of the Eagle that SYM
bollzes our national greatness.
There is X. M. Williams who
would make an elegant toast-mas-
ter and general superintendent of
fun and frolic, of swinging fairies
and dancing sprites that would so
fill US with JOY, that we would for
get, for one day at least, the cares
and perplexities of life, and then
the ladies of Philip could set a
table SO full of the good things to
eat and drink that pleasure indie
scribable would fill the soul. The
only appropriate place for a pic
mic or fourth of July celebration,
is in the woods where there is
plenty of shade. How sweet the
sound of music, of the human
voice as it echoes and re-echoes
down the valley. When old glory
is unfurled to the breeze and its1
silken folds glisten in the noon
day sun, and our ladies sing
America tis of thee, sweet land
of liberty" and our orators tell
the story of the revolution in
which our forefathers fought, bled
and died on the battle fields of
Lundy's Lane, Valley Forge, Bun
ker Hill and Tieonderoga, we
would feel our hearts swell with a |
national pride. What can be more
pleasurable than this? It is better
then to 60 off to some distant
place, endure the dust, fatigue and
discomfort, and see nothing but
the old sterilized stunts pulled off,
the greasy pigs, potato races and
generally a few drunks and dog
fight. The ladies of Philip can
make this affair a great success for
they have the ability, tact and
judgment to carry it out. Who
will take the lead!

Exchange Notes


Saturday afternoon for business
tri ip to the Twin Cities. On Mon
day morning Mrs. Gerow was OPP
Grating water motor washing
machine and crushed the ends of
two fingers SO that amputation
may be necessary. She left on
the afternoon train for the home
of her parents in Iowa, and was
met at Waseca, Minnesota, by Mr..
Gerow who accompanied her from
that point. Friends received a
telegram from her brother We'd
nesday, saying that she had ar
rived safely at home, but was
much fatigued. 1t is sincerely
hoped that the accident will not
prove of such serious consequence
as was at first feared.
Capital City Spirit: Mrs. John
Newell had the misfortune to be
severly but not seriously burned.
One of the valves of the gas stove
had been Jared loose in sweeping
about the stove, and the gas re-
leased had accumulated in the
oven. Mrs. Newell had occasion
to use the oven, and when she
opened the Joor the pent-up gas
ignited with another burner of
the stove which was in use at the
time. A miniature explosion
occurred, and Mrs. Newell was
fortunate to escape without more
serious scorching than she receiv-
ed.
Stock Growers News: The
Stock Growers News and it's back
ers were never so lively as now.
Why we are right on to Mix and
the grating ways of the Gang"
We are getting enough material to
crown some of them with"the
glory of notoriety" by-and-by.
Phew, it is going to smell bad.
Hayes Homestead: Alva Allen,
northwest of here, has had some
sick cattle the past week, four of
them dying. No one in this vicin-
ity was able to diagnose the case
so the state veterinary was sent
for. He arrived Tuesday evening
and pronounced the trouble par
alysis of the tongue, caused by
lack of water and the hot, dry
weather. He said there was
nothing is do except let the sick
ness run it's course. Earl Allen
also has number with the same
disease, but he has not lost any.
Fairplay: Through the kind
ness of Mrs. Katherine Walsh and
Miss Mitchell, number of their
friends enjoyed a boat excursion
on Bad river Tuesday evening.
The back water from the Missoui
makes it possible to 20 about
three miles up the smaller stream,
and the ride on quiet water, be-
tween wooded banks, was most
pleasant after the almost intoler-
able heat of the day. These excur-
sions are gaining favor as our peo-
pie learn of the beauties surround
ing them, and one or more parties
may be seen gliding up Bad river
nearly every evening.

The most magnificent social af-
fair held in Washington for many
a day was the silver wedding re-
ception of President and Mrs.
Taft, at which five thousand guests
gathered on the White House lawn.
The grounds of the Executive
Mansion were ablaze with thou
sands of lights and handsomely
gowned women and splendid uni
forms of the military added to the
beauty of the occasion. President
and Mrs. Taft came into the scene
as the Marine band played a we'd
ding march. The presents that
were given were among the most
costly and beautiful ever present.
ed to president of the United
States. On the evening following
the great event, the White House
and grounds were thrown open to
the public by request of Mrs. Taft.
The Department of Agriculture
has entered upon a campaign to
save the great forest wastes of the
country. 1t has been ascertained
that of the wood cut throughout
the United States, a probable
twenty-five per cent never leaves
the forests at all, and that in the
manufacture, about five per cent
is wasted in fire wood, while fully
seventy per cent of cooperage stock
becomes waste. The present ef-
forts of the Department are being
directed toward having the big
using-wood concerns manufacture
their bi-products, enabling them
to consume the lower grade of
wood that is ordinarily a great
source of loss.
The governments three-per-
cent fifty-million-d dollar Panama
loan has been three times oversub-
scribed and the average price of
the new bonds will run a little over
1O2.5O. The bona fide bids re-
ceived total about Sl7O,0OO,OOO
OF that amount $4,000, 900 was
subscribed at three-per-cent or
more, $32, 100000 at over 1O2.5O,
$8l, 200, 900 at between 1918 and
1O2. SO and $52, 900, 900 at 1O2 and
under.
The prophets who predicted
that Congress would adjourn on
July first, have now showed their
date forward several weeks and
the earliest guessers are selecting
the early days of August for the
probable ad djournment of Congress.
However, as no two people agree,
and as the work of the session has
not progressed to any state where
the fate Of any great legislation
can be foretold, it will not be sur
prising should Congress remain in
session practically all summer.
All campaign expenses, includ-
ing those of the primaries must be
made a matter of public record if
the position of the Senate Commit
tee which has taken up this SUBJ
ject, is enacted into law. The
Senate bill goes much farther than
the bills of the House passed at
the present and last sessions. The
Senate's position is said to be due
to the feeling that has grown out
of the Lorimer case.

TARIFF THE ISSUE
Revision 10 be Given Most Attention
BY Taft on His Trip.
WILL BACK UP HIS VETOEs
viii Insist that PrOgresslves Who Voted for
Tariff Board Should Have Been willing
TO Walt for Its Report.

So far aas President Taft himself
is concerned the tariff will be the
main issue of the 1912 campaign.
While the president will speak on
many subjects on his western trip il
is certain now that the tariff revision
Will receive most of his attention.
Following his speech to the Essex
County Republican club at Hamilton,
on Saturday, the president began to-
day to prepare other speeches on the
tariff. He secured copies of his veto
messages on the wool, farmers free
list and cotton bills and at once set
to work upon addresses that he ex-
poets to deliver later, backing up
those vetoes.
Mr.. Taft is said to realize that he
must not merely defend himself for
having rejected these bills, but that
he must attack the Democrats and
Progressive Republicans who put
them through congress. The attack
upon the Democrats the president
can make almost anywhere. It is
understood that the fight upon the
Progressive will be confined largely
to their own territory. The president
will carry war west into the "enemy's
country The nature of attack is
pretty clearly defined already-it will
be in substance that the Progressives
who voted for tariff board should
have been willing to wait for its re-
port; that the revision bills the Dem
ocrats and insurgents drew at the
special session were "ill-considered"
and BADLY drawn and that great
industries of the country should not
We put m jeopardy by such legisla-
ton when revision, if recommended
by the tariff board might be expected
any way few months later.
1t is also probable that the presi-
dent will promise tariff reform so far
as he can bring it about at the next
session of congress
1t is quite possible that the Pro-
gressives will be under fire from the
president, also on the subject of reci-
procity. The president has heard
enough from western congressman to
know that reciprocity is not popular
in some states west of the Mississippi.
The Progressives are supposed here
to count upon the bad effect reci-
procity will have with these western
farmers.
Of the other main topics already
selected, currency reform is admitted
to be of great interest because of the
idea that the proposed legislation may
foreshadow a central bank. The pres
ident may talk extensively on this
subject

NEN PINE RIVER BARN
Model Building Being Erected by WIN.
c. Sullivan OF Forest Hill.

One OF the largest and most convc-
nient barns in Pine River township

he WENT INSANE.

Last Wednesday evening, Edward
Hines, a resident of Farwell, Mich,
visiting his sister in this city, was
taken violently insane, jumping
through the window and getting
away. Neighbors were aroused but
were unable to control the man, and
1t became necessary to turn in an
alarm of fire. He was bound and
removed to cell in the Jail, where
the strength of four men were requir-
ed TO hold him TO prevent his doing
injury to himself. Mr.. Hines is a
man As years of age and very power
ful, weighing more than 200 pounds.
He was badly injured by jumping
through the window. sustaining many
severe cuts from the broken glass.
He was removed to the county Jail
for safe keeping by Sheriff Rowell,
and was later turned over to Sheriff
Sunday of Clare Co., who took him to
Harrison.
