The Socialists are CROWNS.

The Socialists polled about as
many votes in Pennsylvania as the
Prohibitionists at the last election.
In many other states the increase
percentage was larger than at the
previous election. The railroad cor
porations are now making voluntary
increase of wages. The socialistic
cloud seems to have silver lining.

New Schedule on w. & N. B. Railroad

Elsewhere in these columns will
be found the time table of the w. &
N. B. railroad, giving the time of
the new schedule which went into
effect on Monday. The train which
leaves Halls at 7:10 a. m. runs di-
rect through to Towanda and returns
to Satterfield at 1880 p. m. General
Manager Townsend, through his un-
firing efforts to give the public a
good train service has accomplished
much in this direction by the pres
ent passenger schedule. The only
feature that seems unsatisfactory is
the lateness of receiving daily pap
ers as the early start from Halls fails
to receive delivery at that point.
Mails are now reee' ii at the La
porte post office from points along
the w. & N. b. r. r. at S:37 a. m.

BARRIERS NAY he LICENSED.
legislative Dill Prepared 10 Regulate
Tonsorial ART.

One of the early bills that will be
brought before the next Legislature
will be one that has been prepared
by the officials of the Barbers' Union
of Pennsylvania for the purpose of
bettering the profession. Members
of the fraternity have been consult
ed, and their suggestions have been
observed in the drawing up Of the
proposed law. Should it become an
act it will place the regulation of the
practice of barbering under the
State; will register and license those
who wish to become BARRIERS; will
insure sufficient training to the
practitioners; will demand better SAN
itary conditions in barber shops gen.
orally, and will prevent the spread
ing of disease in this State.
A board of examiners is to be ap-
pointed, which is to consist of five
BARRIERS, for the purpose of enforcing
the act. Before July l, 1908, the
Governor Of the State is to appoint
two master BARRIERS and three jour-
neymen BARRIERS to serve for cer-
tain term of years, and these are to
constitute the State Board of Bar
bers. Any member Of the board
will have power to enter and make
reasonable examinations of any bar
ber shop in the State during busi-
ness hours for the purpose of ascer-
tanning its sanitary condition. The
proprietor of any such shop who is
found to have tools, appliances and
furnishings, in an unclean and un-
sanitary condition, will be subject to
prosecution and punishment.
The board is to hold each year,
througout the State, at least four
public examinations. Every person
now engaged as barber must, with
in ninety days after the act has. been
approved, file with the secretary of
the board an affidavit, setting forth
his name, residence and length of
time during which, and the place
where he has practiced his occupa.
ton, and will pay to the treasurer 81,
after which State certificate will be
issued to him.
Any person practicing the occupa-
ton of barber without having OBJ
tanned certificate of registration, or
violating any of the provisions of
the Act, will be guilty Of misde-
meanor and will be liable to a fine
of not less than $40, or more than
800, and in default of which he may
be committed to Jail for from ten to
ninety days.
