MEDICAL PROFESSION A FACTOR IN REFORM
DIR. Keen himself does not drink or
give others drink; his example ispower-
full; admire him for this; | wish all
physicians would set such an example
to their communities. The medical pro-
fession is in position to bring about a
great temperance reform, with its at
tendant lessening OF venereal disease, Il
its members will open their eyes and
seize the opportunity. II Dr. Keen
with his influence, aided by hundred
Of the leaders in our profession, would
come out and teach the people that the
predominant action Of alcohol is s,anes-
thetic and depressing; that its use as a
medicine has practically been done
away with; that IL does infinitely more
harm than good; the day would soon
come when DR.. Keen could, as he said
in his letter, nail up the doors Of every
saloon and put on them placards- To

THE CANTEEN.

u Ambrose Johnson. n. d.. Cincinnati, Ohio.
Excerpts from Letter to Journal of American
Medical Association, january 27)
Inote that Dr. W w. W Keen, Of Phila-
deIphia, is endeayoring to bring the in
huence of the medical profession to bear
on Congress to pass the BarthoIdt bill,
to bring back the canteen into the Army,
with the alleged view Of promoting tenn
peranee and thereby lessening yenereal
diseases among soldiers.
The brewers are for this bill heart and
soul and the eanteen should not be rees-
tablished for this reason. The bill before
Congress was introduced by Mr. Bart
holdt, who comes from the exceedingly
wet city Of st. Louis--one Of the citadels
OF beer. Mr.. Bartholdt's political well
fare is very much in the hands OF the
beer interests of his city. He has to
work for and not against those interests.
As a business proposition, brewers want
to sell as much beer as possible and will
naturally do that which viii promote
this business; they are not against the
canteen but for IT, They would like to
see Government go into the business Of
selling beer in the army, as that would
be declaration that beer is temper
ance drink and its influence would be to
increase the sales on the outside. The
brewers, Mr.. Bartholdt and some OF our
strictly temperate medical confreres are
working side by side; these last are un-
consciously pulling the chestnuts out Of
the fire for the brewers. In war, do not
do what the enemy wants you to do.
DON + TEACH YOUNG SOLDIERS TO DRINK.
The drinking habit should not be
taught 10 those who are free from It.
Yet that is what we surely shall be
guilty OF when we reestabish the can
teen. Many young soldiers do not drink
on entering the service. They havenot
yet formed the alcohol habit; il, how
ever they find beer in the canteen they
are likely to jump to the conclusion that
ii Uncle Sam has gone into the business
of selling beer on his premises, it must
be very respectable and improving to
drink; then comes the moderate drink
ing which is very likely to be increased
with ell the attendant evils. Temptation
should not be placed before the soldier.
A few Of our leaders in medicine are de-
sirous Of promoting temperance among
soldiers. Why not advocate law heavily
fining anyone for selling alcohol to
soldier in uniform? Many railroads for
bid their employees from drinking, or
boarding in houses where intoxicants
are sold, and thus they effectually con-
troll their men, Cannot UncleSam with
his strong arm do as much for his SOL
dier boys as the railroads do for theirs2
No one will object to the Governments
furnishing the soldiers with entertain
ment rooms; that should be done, but
the Government should not go into the
business Of selling alcohol. The people
Of this land will not consent to il and
they will be fighting it to the crack Of

WILSON SOUTHERN BRED
Born in Virginia. Reared in Geor-
gia and South Carolina.

-
II would be hard to find a schooIboy
over the age Of twelve years who has not
heard of the name Of Woodrow Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson was born in Staun-
ton, Virginia, December %, 1856. His
father was the Rev. Joseph R. Wilson
and one OF the most influential church
men OF the South.
At the age OF two years his father
moved to Augusta, Georgia, where he
took charge Of one Of the largest and
most influential churches in the South
Augusta was then city Of about $4,000
Inhabitants, and it was here that the
boyhood OF the future Governor Of New
Jersey and president Of Princeton was
spent.
Rev. Wilson moved to Columbia,
South Carolina, in the autumn OF 1870
and became q teacher in the Southern
Theological Seminary which position he
held for four years. Woodrow continued
to attend school, but most OF his train
| ing was under the direct supervision Of
his father. and in spite Of his late years
to start at books he soon qualified for
college and at seventeen he was sent to
Davidson College, North Carolina.
PRINCETON TRAINING VALUABLE.
In the autumn OF 1875 he entered
Princeton, where he graduated with the
class Of 1879. His going North to col
Ilege was fortunate, for it gave him at
an impressionable age an opportunity
to understand the Northern, as well as
the Southern, point Of view.
In the autumn Of 1886 he was called
to the chair OF history and political
economy in Byrn Mawr College. This
he held for three years, when he was
called 10 similar position in Wesleyan
University. He remained there two
years and was called to his alma mater,
Princeton as professor Of jurisprudence
and political economy. Later in 1902
he was elected president Of Princeton
the second oldest university in the
United States. He took his Phi. d. de-
gree on examination in 1886, submitting
as his thesis Congressional Govern
ment. This is considered the highest
degree conferred by institutions of learn
ing.
When DIR. Wilson came,to the presi-
dency OF Princeton he had been known
as scholar, author and public speaker,
but he was untested as an executive.
In his Presidential Office he carried
out the idea Of leadership which he pro-
nounced in his first book, and has held
ever since, in office and out of Office.
He proposed something at Princeton
that was a radical change from the old
way; it was the complete reorganization
Of the university in such way as to
bring into daily communication and
companionship representatives Of all
classes and Of the faculty. The pro-
posal was against the tradition Of Prince
ton, for it lent toward breaking up the
seIf-electiye clubs. IT sounded a. start
ling note Of democracy and pointed out
broad ways by which the youth Of the
country could be brought UP for the
service Of the country. +"

the claim that he was cheated ont of

sorb the Republican party in certain
states where Taft is very weak. and
will be a pronounced factor in the

Only one ruffle occurred Monday at
the county republican convention at
Barton to break the love feast that
otherwise prevailed. This fight came
over the states attorney contest, and
the candidate who carried Newport,
the home town of the two contestants,
lost. Two years ago Newport had
two candidates each for two different
county offices and in both cases the
candidate who carried Newport lost in
the convention. 1t would seem that
an aspirant for office living in New
port must lose his own town in order
to be recognized as qualified for county
Office. 1t is quite apparent that New
ports office'seeking in the past has
reacted and the county will take the
matter of'selecti it's officers into It's
own hands, regardless of what New.
port says.
