dull razor and call out, 'Thank you'll
"Thank you'll means get up out OF the
chair and pay for the moving You
don't have to pay much, though. But
then fellow is apt to think that the
moving is dear at any price.
If you go to a place frequented by
workingmen, you will get a shave for
a penny, and, upon my honor, it is
really all the shave-or, to be more ex-
act, scrape-is worth. In swell place
they charge you threepence. Here they
have chandeliers, and the barber-or
scraper-is polite because he expects
tip. but the agony is just the same.
Heavy of hand and dull Of razor seems
to be the motto of them all.
A London barber gets from 10 to ID
shillings a week and his board. He be-
gins work at in the morning and
winds up at at night. On Sunday he
is through work by 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon. There is nothing dapper or
know all about him, as there is about
the lad at home, but he is civil and
polite and would be all right only that
he can't shave.
Qaite often the BARRIERS in the east
end of London are bookmakers. For the
benefit of churchgoing, respectable peo-
pie may as well explain that a book
maker is man who gives odds against
race horses.
In these places the British working
man pays a penny for shave and bets
a shilling upon the horse of his fancy.
Some time ago l was amused to hear one
of them expatiating upon the merits of
the race horses owned by Richard
Croker. The workingman had come out
away ahead through betting on all Of
Cookers horses, and he looked upon
him as his benefactor.
For hair cut you pay all the way
from threepence to sixpence. Right
here I must say that the London barber
possesses at least one merit-he doesn't
keep telling you the while he is operat-
ing that you need shampoo, that you
ought to have your hair singed, or that
you ought to take dollar bottle of his
sudden grow tonic for the general benefit
of your locks. No; he let's you alone in
this respect. You are, to be sure, very
much aware Of the fact that he is daily
ing with your Uranium, but he never
makes you feel ashamed of your stingi-
ness or of the fact that you have only
just enough money for the simple hair
cut. You just go in and say to him, 81
want my hair cut. - and he cuts it with
ont any rer2ark.
Thsre is no such thing in London as
tha having Of a special lathering cup
for the use Of each customer. Of course
I don't say that there are not men in
London who are 1athered in this clearly
way, but it certainly isn't the rule, as it
is III good barber shop at home.

THE Republican party if it make no
mistakes will enter the next campaign
in much better condition than their OPP
ponents. Thers is at present no division.
no bitterness in the ranks. Such divi-
sions as may arise will come after the
convention. Whatever course the party
takes on the money question there is
sure to be dissatisfied element. Some
of the "kickers" will be whipped back
into line while many will not Hence it
will be we'll for the party leaders to
study the situation well and not rely en-
tirely on their victories of last year and
this OF on the discussions in thu ranks of
their opponents. No greater mistake
can be made than to straddle important
Issues. Their are two ways in which the
Republicans can destroy their hold upon
the voters before the presidential election
of 1928 is held. The first is mismanage-
ment in the coming congress. 1t ia
never well for any party to have an
overwhelming majority in the house of
representatives. 1t means abundant OPP
portunity for quarrels within the party,
the Republican majority will be even
larger than the Democratic in the last.
It will have the advantage, however, of
being led by men who have had far
more experience than the Democra ats of
this generation in the control of national
affairs, and of having a foolish enemy,
instead of foolish friend, in the White
house. The other way to party suicide
is for the Republican party to abandon
their own declaration in favor of the
equal use of gold and silver as money,
and throw themselves into the waiting
arms of the gold standard faction. From
the east there will be a strong pressure
to secure a retraction of the declaration
made at Minneapolis in 1892, or at least
to prevent any further development of
that declaration to meet the greater ur-
gency of the present situation. We're
the issue a square one between east and
west there need be but little fear for the
result. Unfortunately the Republican
party of the south will be on hand as usual,
and will be manipulated by whoever can
bring the strongest influence of a GER
tain kind to bsar on it. By its help Re-
publicans of the eastern states may rend
the party asunder on sectional lines, and
thus give its enemies their opportunity.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-Shaving in London
costs about fifth of what it costs in the
United States, but the English barber is
far from being the equal in skill of the
American barber. His touch is heavy
and his razor is usually dull-a bad
combination. You must have very
easy conscience indeed to fall asleep in
the chair while he is performing upon
you. And the chairsi Heavens They
are straight up, cushionless and most
uncomfortable to sit in. How I sigh for
the luxurious barber chairs at home

refreshed and looking neat and clean

to the abstraction Of 800, eco cubic feet
per minute, yet this will ultimately be
doubled, and all discussion must be built
on that basis.
A Feeling of Uneasiness.
It is estimated that the loss of inch
es by this agency in Lakes Huron and
Michigan would seriously affect the in
terest of lake commerce. 1t would prac-
tically mean the loss Of just SO much
carrying capacity Of vessels as measured
on the load line. Steamers are now
loaded to carry all they possibly can in
the interest of economy, and the loss Of
6 inches in harbor depth, which in most
cases would be inevitable, would entail
an equivalent lessening Of cargo, loss
Of from to per cent. This loss would
be continuous, steady drain on profits
of transportation. The report insists that
the navigahle capacity Of all harbors and
channels On the lakes below St. Mary 8
falls will be greatly affected and that
the introduction Of a current in the in
ner harbor of Chicago would be most
detrimental to its commercial value
The whole drift varies widely from the
assumptions of the Chicago engineers.
Whether these opinions are right or
wrong, they are weighted with such high
sanction aud authority as to create a
feeling of great uneasiness. When water
gauge experiments are extensively made
in all the connecting waterways of the
lakes, perhaps the figures will lead to
revised conclusions, "a contamination
