fed with churches as vestrymen. The
philosophy of the book was criticised

The essential features OF the story,
which Is one of great dramatic force,
have been retained while the anti
hypocrisy philosophy of the author
necessarily has been subordinated to
the general theme.
The story deals with the rector OF

SENATE SURE
TOSAVEBONUS
Relief for U. S. Employees Held
Inevitable by Members
of Subcommittee. g.

There is not the shadow of a doubt
that the Senate will restore the $240
Government employees bonus that
was striker out of the Legislative,
Executive, and Judicial Appropria-
ton bill on Friday.
SAME ROUTINE LAST YEAR.
Exactly the same routine was seen
ut the last session of Congress when
Congressman Blanton made his Justly
famous and semi-dangerous point OF
order In the House, and the Senate
promptly restored the item TO the bin
and insisted upon having It's way in
conference.
A canvass of a few representative
Senators disclosed there is not the
slightest sentiment among them for
sustaining the action of the House
indeed, many say that in the absence
OF reclassihcation legislation the
abandonment OF the bonus would be
utterly destructive to the Fedearl
service.
Senators Capper and Kenyon are of
this opinion. the latter being a mem

CAPPER SANGUINE.
"Of course, the Senate will restore
the bonus. for 1t has no alternative"
declared Senator Capper. Conditions
here for the Federal employees would
be Uncomfortable II they were deprived
Of this money at this time. The
bonus ought to be kept In the legis-
lative bill until Congress Is ready to
consider readjustment OF Govern
nent workers salaries on a perma-
. nf nd ha s}a
Senator Gronna, also a member of
the appropriations subcommittee, ex-
pressed much the same opinion. There
La not a single member of this subcom-
mittee whose views are in doubt on
tho question.
Both Senators Warren and Smoot,
the ranking members Of the subcom-
mittee, have taken the stand that the
bonus must be retained for the pres
ent.
Senator Smoot has given some at
tention to the plan proposed by Her
bert ID. Brown, chief OF the Bureau
of Efficiency. by which the bonus
money would be appropriated in a

the administrative officials OF the va
'rious departments. Senator Smoot Is
strongly Of the belief that the Fed
eral employees in most urgent need Of
relief are not the great hosts OF
photographers and clerks in the 81 900
to 81 500 grades. but the group of ad-
ministrative and executive officials
who are paid salaries as low as &, 200
