FOURTH OF JULY SHAVES
STIR UP UNION BARRIERS

Everything is not going smoothly in
the BARRIERS Union. and it may be that
certain boss BARRIERS and journeymen
will be expelled. It is all due to the
failure of some of the BARRIERS to close
their shops all day tomorrow. Several
days ago Secretary Preston, of the as
sociation. ordered all the union shops
to close on that day. They were given
the privilege. however, of keeping
open for business on the night Of July
until 11.GO o'clock.
Some Of the BARRIERS refused to obey
the mandate Of the union, claiming
that their customers wanted a shave
on July 4, and therefore the shops
would not be closed all day. They de-
cided. however, to close at noon. Other
shops agreed to obey the order.
Since the order was first issued sew
eral of the latter. hearing that all the
shops would not be closed, broke the
j agreement The result will be that
every boss barber will suit simself and
do what he thinks is best for his trade,
Trouble has been brewing in the
union for some time over the early
lclosing movement, which was inaugu-
lrated about a year ago.
1t was agreed at that time to clos,
every evening at o'clock, excepting
on Saturday, when the doors will no
be closed until midnight. The hour foi
closing at night, except Saturday, wa
10 O'Clock, and it is now claimed tha
many Of the knights Of the razor dc
not close until 8 o'clock. Some OF thos
who are obeying all the rules are talk
ing Of bringing charges against thei
brethren. The latter are not worry
ing.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Bride and Groom fooled Friends

DIlue dhu uIOOW IOOltu IIlehuS
The bride and groom are the victims
of all the jokes at the wedding festivi-
ties, and it is seldom the happy pair
'contrlve TO fool their guests. The fol-
lowing story told to the Wayfarer
shows how one conjugal pair fooled
their friends.
The popular young manager OF a
well-known dry goods store in Market
street and a prominent young woman
were married on Monday, and intended
to leave Immediately on their wedding
trip. Two young men employed in the
same store as the groom, one the floor
manager and the other superintendent
of the linen department, decided TO
give the happy pair a big send-On.
They learned the time they were TO
leave the French street station,
and had all the employees of the store
at the depot. Each was supplied with
a pound Of rice, and as train time drew
near the two young men took great
pains to arrange the party in their
lprOper places. When they saw the
coach approaching they placed them
selves at the head of the line The cat
drew up bedecked with white ribbons
and old shoes. The cabman descended
and stepped to the door. AS he did SC
the long line OF serenaders prepared tC
deliver a shower of rice. The dooi
lopened. and instead OF a bride ant
lgroom out stepped a ruddy-faced man
who tipped the scales at about 35'
pounds. He walked decorously dow1
the line and boarded the train that haC
just pulled into the station.
The would-be rice throwers were 81
astonisThed that they remained dunn
founded for a brief moment. Thel
one by one they dropped the rice wIher
lthey stood and hastily made an exit.
In the meantime the bride and groom
had departed by another route, and n
doubt the remembrance of the affai
= will long be a source Of meIriment +
them.

Twenty students of Phillips Academy
have been caught cribbing in their ex-
aminations preparatory to entering
Princeton. There were others thought
TO be implicated but the evidence is
not sufficiently strong to justify their
rejection. While education may make
FOR morality, yet there is a remarkable
array of evidence to prove the contrary
Unfortunately the sense Of honor is not
as high among students of our higher
institutions Of learning as could be de-
sired Perhaps it is true that educa-
tion only means a thin veneering un-
der which the old Adam remains.

The Glorious Fourth

It's the glorious Fourth.
And the eagle is soarin',
The rockets are screechin',
The cannon are roaring,
Because
lt was
On this glorious day
That our fathers they said
To King George DER the way;
1--WE like this here country,
And its pretty good sile,
And with your permission
Well run things awhile"
And so.
Don't you know,
Old Glory they threw
To the breezes of heaven,
And then took a chew
OF tObacker for sOlace,
Then hitched up their pants,
And then they proceeded
To lead George dance.
By gum
On they come;
And George Washington made
Some holes in the ranks
OF King Georges brigade.
And they fit for a spell,
And some of them died,
And the others they said
They We're all satisfied;
And our fathers they quit
And sat in the shade,
And the English went home,
And the fI-islxy band played
Yankee doodle a spell,
And then all was well.
And now
That's how
On this glorious day
We paint the town red,
And let the band play.
Because Uncle Sam
He don't give a - fig
For the whole bloOmin' push;
Their glory is gone.
But II they are dyin'
To still keep a-tryin'

That you just fetch 'em on.

THE DECLARATION


From the Magma Charta to the
Declaration OF Independence The
period between covering space Of
more than five hundred years, was a
time of contest with varying fortune,
but as the beginning was auspicious,
the consummation was glorious. AT
Runnymede the absolutism of kings
was attacked by the barOns Of Eng
land. In comparison with the rights
OF the people which are enjoyed in
these days, the barons did not demand
much. yet what they secured from the
reluctant king was the beginning Of all
that the Anglo-Saxon now holds dear
est. 1t is significant that the nobility
were the Arst to attack the kings
prerogatiye, and it is to their eternal
honor that the concessions they de-
manded we're for the benefit Of all
classes. and raised the commoners
from beasts Of burden, TO freemen..
That was the beginning; the Deola-
ration, the consummation and conclu-
sion. The first was the act Of Anglo
Saxon mobiles across the water; the last
the act OF the common people of the
same stock, on this side of the ocean,
In all the intervening years a struggle
with varying fortune, had been in prog
ress, for English liberty was destined
TO be bought dearly, and for that rea-
son. to be priced all the more highly
vet when the American colonists at
one stroke denied the divine right OF
kings. .ldeclared the people had the right
TO govern themselves, and that all JUS
powers were derived from the consent
of the governed, many Of the Englisl
people failed to see that it was the enc
and fruition of that movement whcl
had started over five hundred years De
fore.
Now it is apparent to all, and tn
English Government is virtually base
on principles similar to those OF on
great Declaration. In all essential
the mother government is a republi'
governed by the people, and ever
English colony is the same. There
fore our revolution had wider effe'
and was more significant than we fr'
auently think IL established the ma
principles of government for all Angl'
Saxon peoples, besides giving charaot
TO those Of the Latin races. 1t is si
nihcant that one OF England's create
colonies. Australia. has patterned
government very largely after o
own. using the Declaration and o
Constitution as the guides in formi'
the new federation.
There is no nobler page in histo
than that which chronicles the story
that Declaration. and the strugl
which followed. The men who plaC
their names to that instrument were
heroic stature. because they know vi
their act meant. It was not the act
rash and ignorant men inspired
sudden anger. They represented
colonies at their best. The list C
tains the names Of lawyers, plant
and merchants-all students Of
fairs. and the idea OF separation

minds for several years. Consequel

they did not-well the most cheerful
picture they could conjure up was con-
fscated fortunes and a halter for each.
A little over a century and quarter
has passed and the republic they es-
tablished has become one OF the greal
world powers; respected everywhere,
and with credit surpassed by none.
What the future shall offer, we dc
not know. but It will depend largely
upon exercising the virtues which in
the past made for greatness. And
surely what men gave their all for, is
worth preserving. even though It TO
