DUIMIM, N. C. JUNE, S 1001,
.ack of Canteen Causing'
Trouble in the Army.
The abolishment of the army J
anteen has not resulted in the ~
•uccess anticipated by the Wo- .
nan's Christian Temperance
.'nion, according to the stories 1
i:
old by the officers of the
Eighteenth Company of Coast t
\rtillery stationed at Fort *
Schuyler. I 1
They declare that there have; 1
jeen more courts martial than;
>ver before, that more of the,
soldiers are in the guard house, c
hat scenes of disorder have 1
joen of common occurrence and A
ntemperance has been increas- *
ng at alarming rate. This is .
tli attributed to the removal of
, . i
lie canteen.
Now that the men cannot get 1
t glass of i>eer in the reserva- j
ion they go outside to the sa
loons in the neighborhood of *
lie fort and drink not one, but
many glasses of beer, not know
ing when they will be able to '
s»et out again. J
Kver since the men were r
paid off on Saturday there have
been scenes of disorder about ]
the reservation. Several men
have disappeared altogether,
while others have been placed J
in the guard house and courts '
martial have been many.
A great deal of the blame is
being put by the soldiers upon
the W. C. T. U.
In speaking of the matter,
Sergeant C. A. Wild said :
"What the men don't like
about this matter is their being
dictated to by a lot of women
cranks. We are.big enough to
care for ourselves, and don't
need the aid of the Woman's
Christaiu Temperance Union.
The closing down of the canteen
has done more harm than good
in this particular post, and
from what 'I hear it's the same
all over the country.
"In my opinion the Wo
man's Christian Temperance
j Union has been playing right
■into the hands of the saloon
I keepers, who are reaping a
I golden harvest at the soldiers'
!expense. The men now run!
bills at the various saloons in
the village, and when they once
get outside the fortifications
there is no telling when they
will get back. Men who were
never known to get intoxicated
when the canteen was in exist
ence now do so on every occa
sion that offers itself." ,
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good
Women Need a Simple Life.
In writing of the boasted
progress of the last century
"An American Mother" asks in
The Ladies' Home Journal for
June: ' What has the nine
teenth century done to the wo
man herself? Are her school
training, her colleges and her
work in art and literature mak-=
ing her a more womanly wo
man, more fit to be a wife and
mother? If not, they are losses
to her, not gains. The chief
change which the last century
made in the American woman
was that it tempted her to give
up for the new occupations of
art, reform and money-making,
her own real work as a home
maker, wife and mother. The
nineteenth century has dragged
our women from their natural
base. It has given them noble
surroundings for their lives—
literature, art, social power.
Hut they are not content. They
are nervous and restless beyoud
any former race of women. The
food given them is too light.
They look out on the world
with starved eyes. The wiser
among them are finding out
what they want is not show and
public work and applause, but
a simple life, repose and homely
I affections of home."

Beating a Retreat.
There arc accumulating evi
dences of a desire on the part ot
many Republicans to t nodi fx
materially the position of their
party on the tariff question.
One of the foremost Republi
can leaders in Congress, Repre
sentative Babcoek, who w;is
chairman of the la>t Co grcs
sional campaign committee, in
troduced a hi I at tie last ses
sion of Congress which provides
that trust-made steel and iron
shall be placed upon the free
list, and he will urge such leg
islation at the next session.
In several leading Republi
cans organs we have found t i
late vigorous attacks upon tin
protiCJion policy, which it was
until recently considend rank
treason to true Republu auisn
to ewn criticise.
But the most notable declaia
tion. that we have seen fr 111
such a source appears in the
Philadelphia Press, whose edi
tor and chief owner is Postmas
ter General Smith.
The Press says, in speaking
of the steel industry : "Higher
prices are maintained here now,
but much lower ones are possi
ble." The article practically
charges that the effect of the
protective tariff is to "hold up"
the people for the benefit of the
trusts. The writer says :
"During 1895 and through
1897 the United States produc
ed cheaper iron and steel than
any country in the world, and
under similar pressure it can do
it again. The* writer goes on
to say that America has noth
ing to fear in competition when
the supply again overruns the
demand, and question of cost
becomes a paramount impor
tance. After mentioning the
low figures at which United
States dealers have made pig
iron, billets, plates and bars at
a profit, he adds: "We may
have to get down to these fig
ures again, and can do it as we
did before with a small margin
of profit if necessary, but for
the present we are getting 6b to
100 per cent, better."
This is a remarkable and
very significant admission for a
newspaper which may well be
supposed to represent the views
and desires—Ave may also say
the expressions—of the admin
istration more fully and more
accurately than any other pub
lication. It seems that the Re
publican party is beginning to
feel that the policy of protec
tion is getting to be too heavy
a load to carry.—Goklsboro Ar

What is Democracy?
The New York Journal prints
a cartoon of the fight between
Tillman and McLaurin.
Tillman is using his populist
pitchfork and McLaurin a big
club labeled republican.
The old democratic party is
sitting on a bench fanning her
self and saying : "Keep on gen
tleman, don't mind me.".
In its editorial comment it
says:
"Will the democrats of South
Carolina hold with Senator Till-!
man that democracy is popu
lism? Will they hold with Sen- j
ator McLaurin that democracy
is republicanism? Is there any
remote chance that the cam
paign between these two will
develop an opportunity for the i
democrats of South Carolina to
hold with some new and truly
democratic and trustworthy j
leader that democracy is democ
racy ?
"Certainly if anything can
be judged from the outset of
the campaign the people will
. have an excellent opportunity
to learn the fuU and interesting
and very damaging truth about
both of these mis-representa
. tives. And if they ever should
fully grasp the truth they would
surely retire both to private
life."
