CuAMoR FOR CANTEEN.
Reports OF Army Officers Continue to
Urge Its Restoration.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The annual re-
port of General George B. Davis, judge
advocate general to the secretary of
war shows the total number of trials
by general court martial during tina
year to have been 4,249, being 1926 less
than in the preceding year.
THE marked diminution in the num-
Der of trials by general court martial
which amounts to nearly 20 per cent of
the number of cases tried in the year
ended June 80, 1903,'' says the judge adj
vocate general, lis very gratifying as
indicating that the conditions of the
military service are now such as to re-
quire less frequent resorts to couI-
NATAL procedure in order to main
tain discipline in the military estab-
Hshment."
1t also is noted that only two per-
sons were tried by military commits
sion. 20 less than in the preceding year.
Commenting on this the general says:
The large decrease in trials by mill
tary commission was due to the fact
that peace existed during the entire
year in the Philippine islands, except in
certain portions inhab4ed by Moro
tribes
Thirty commissioned officers were
convicted by general court martial, the
sentence being disapproved in two cases
and four were acquitted or the 1887
enlisted men convicted, sentences were
disapproved in 40 cases. The number of
enlisted men acquitted after trial was
Bill Nine officers were dismissed by
sentence end in four cases the sentences
Of dismissal were commuted to loss of
numbers. The number of men sentenced
to dishOnorable discharge was z, 056. APP
pended to the report are extracts from
the reports of judge advocates of de-
partments. The following is quoted
from the report of Lieutenant Colonel
Dunn, judge advocate, department of
Colorado:
These assertions can in large part
be attributed to the rnaligning influence
of saloons and brothels situated near
the reservations, Seducing enlisted men
from the paths of decency. This is only
another of the many arguments in
favor of restoring to the army the can
teen. which provided places of amuse-
ment and social intercourse where men
could get light refreshments under re-
etraining decent and orderly influence"
Captain Roberts, acting judge advo-
cate, department of Texas, says
with the beginning of work on the
addition of the post at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, it is observed that the prices of
business property Immediately in the
rear Of the new reservation have ma
terially advanced and that arrange
ments are already being made for the
construction of the usual assortment of
saloons and dives, that the virtual abo-
Hilton of the canteen features of the
post exchange has made a universal ac-
compartment of every military post. 1
think IL is beyond question that permits
sion to sell beer in the post exchange
would drive out of business at least
two-thirds of the low resorts in the vi
cinity of posts"

EVERYTHING is BRIGHT.
Report of Republican Committee on
Shawnee Situation.

The Republican county central COM
nittee met Saturday afternoon at the
old court house The meeting was
called by the chairman, H. NJ. Philips.
The committeeman were invited to
dinner at the Savoy hotel as guests of
the committee. After the dinner the
committee held a love feast in the old
court house, and the members report
ed the conditions in their townships.
The members reported that everything
looks bright for the Republicans ex-
cept in Menoken township. where the
Democrats are strong, but the Repub-
licans hope to gain.
Chairman Philips is a humorist. He
conducted the last campaign without
once calling the committee together.
At the meeting of the committee Sat
urday he said:
There is no particular reason for
this meeting except that l believe it is
a good thing for the members of the
committee to get together and talk
over the conditions and let each other
know what has been done and what
we shall do

DECLINE FROM AUGUST.
Pipe Line Oil Runs for September 4
Trifie Lighter.

Independence, Kan, Oct. 10.-The Re
porter says:
The total pipeline runs for Septem-
Der were 5S1,611:1 Is barrels, an average
of II, 720.37 barrels a day.
The runs from districts were as fol-
lows:
South Neodesha 49,. 1851
North Neodesha ........-.... IS OBJ. IA
Total ....... 5S1 GIL IS
The total runs for the month of Aug
ust were 54S, 1850 barrels, September
showing a decline of 16, 664.5 So barrels.
About the middle of September the Re
porter stated that the average runs at
that time were about 1850 barrels, a
day and that the total runs for the
month would in all probability reach
$685. 900 barrels. For while during the
month of September the daily runs
ware 21,Ooo and $4,000 barrels. Toward
the end of the month it became evident
that there would soon be a lack of
tankage at this rate. and the runs were
cut down to $4,000, $4,000 and on Sep
TENDER % to 10.S90 barrels; which ac-
courts for the decline in a measure.
The average daily runs for the month
however, were II, 720.37 barrels, against
17.6s6.S1 barrels a day in August, a
TENDER. These figures present the
strange paradox of increased daily runs
and decreased total runs. This is ac-
counted for by the difference of one
as other days and there were 81 days in
September Adding one. extra days
average to its total runs for Septen-
Der, to give it a fair comparison with
August, would make the runs for Sep
TENDER 549. 331.55 barrels, against 54S,-
275.S0 barrels. But this is only playing
with figures. The fact is and the sta
tistics will be put down as a part of
the history of the KanSas-Indian Ter
ritory development that the month of
September fell behind August in the
amount of oil run.
