ton may as well be dropped.
He points out that many men who
are married and have families are
compelled to work along for from $500
to $500 year. This means, he says,
that many men of. more than average
intelligence and ability, caught fast in
the rut of government and municipal
service and unable or afraid to seek
more remunerative employment, are
making a vain endeaYor to maintain
life and support their families in com
fort and responsibility.
He says the men working for these
wages are found principally in minor
clerkships in the agricultural, treas.
ury, interior, commerce and labor.
war, navy and post Office departments.
Some of the municipal employees, he
learns. are working for from nine dol.
lars to ten dollars a week.
AS a result, he says, Washington is
facing housing famine, because the
working people cannot find homes in
which they can AFFORD to live. He ad-
vocates immediate action looking to a
general advance in salary for the I'M
derpaid clerks. When their case has
been attended 20, he says, so that
they have been made self-supporting

W ASHINGTON.-E now and
w then story appears in some
newspaper that Speaker Cannon is
about to announce his retirement from
public life. Then will follow contra
diction from a close friend of the
speaker -.....
The frequency of these retirement
stories indicates that "Uncle Joe" will
have the fight of his life next winter.
This does not mean political fight In
the sense that the Democrats will
make 1t warm for him; it means that
the fight will be within the ranks of
his party on the floor of the house,
The insurgents" viii make 1t warm
for Uncle joe" They made it most
unpleasant for him and his program
during the extra session. They did
not always succeed In getting what
they went after, but they made a
showing of sufficient strength to cause
the leaders to take notice.
And what they did then will not be
a marker to what they will do next
winter, according to present indica
tons. 1t is the knowledge OF this thai
has started the story that Cannon
will announce his purpose to retire

m RoBABLY no dwelling in the
/ United States has better or more
complete system of electric illumina-
ton than the White House at Wash
ington. That result is accomplished
by 1900 incandescent lamps distribu-
ted throughout the mansion and the
office annex and by number of arc
lights in the grounds and along the
driveways. There are stately electric
standards in the parlors and large
|, electric lanterns in the main Vestibule
and under the porte cochere at the
main entrance. 1t would be difficult,
if not impossible, for any person to
approach the mansion at night with
out being seen by the officers on
guard.
The power plant which supplies the
electricity for the White House is not
located in the mansion, but is in the
endorsement of the state, war and
navy department building directly
across the street. The machinery was
thus placed because it was not de-
sirable to have the dirt and noise in
cident to a power plant at the White
House, and also because of considera-
tions of the danger from fire.
This plant, in addition to supplying
the current for lighting the White
House, also furnishes the power for
lighting the state, war and navy

When the time arrives for the next
congressional campaign Cannon will
be "a years old. This is rather well
advanced in years for man to go up
against a fight such as is known will
be made against the Sage of Danville.
Cannon's friends say he dearly loves
a fight. and 1t is the knowledge of the
fight that may induce him to run
again.
However, it is whispered that he is
not so strong physically as he was
several years ago, and he might take
his health into consideration. He
realizes that he has had about all
there is for him in the way of political
preferment that his state or district
can bestow, and he knows that he will
never be considered as a candidate
for the presidency, as he is now in
