states thereby deprived of mil.

But the merits OF the proposition
were not involved, and Demo-
Gratis who possibly favored the
report were quick to record them
selves in support of the new rule.
The overwhelming vote that sus-
tained the rule indicates that the
Senate has done for all time with
the former practice of allowing
conferees practically to rewrite
important pieces of legislation ac-
to their own ideas.

Monthly payment of pensions

bill bearing the authorship of
Congressman William J. Cary of
Wisconsin. Under its provisions
the Secretary of the Interior is

pensioners in five groups of
states. Each group is to be paid
off on a specified day in every
month. If the measure becomes
a law it will prove a boon to many
old soldiers and widows who now
have to wait three months be-
tween payments of their pen
sions. Mr.. Cary realizes that the
new system will involve more

Bureau. but the additional labor

cANToNMENT TELEPHONES.

When war came, there was imme-
diate need to furnish in every canton
ment, in every port, in every military
station, facilities which would link up
every end of the military and naval
establishments with Washington.
Each of 16 cantonments meant tele-
phone equipment equal to that of a
city Of 10000, and each meant trained
operators, switchboards and lines.
This required about $1O.OOO.OOO added
