LONDON. June Is, 1909.
Great Britain has recently experienced a
political revolution, for a general election
last spring threw the government into the
control of the liberal party for the first
time in eleven years with the largest ma
jority in the house of commons that ever
supported ministry. However, nearly $50
of the new members are entirely without
experience. They were elected upon vari-
Gus issues and many of them upon the
most unreasonable pledges. Hence the
leaders are having an exciting time and
are learning how much easier 1t Is to crit1-
else than to satisfy others. The general
election converted a unionist majority of 10
into liberal majority of 1856 by the gain OF
2l5 seats by the liberals hationalists (the
Irish party and the socialist labor party.
In classifying the 513 anti-conservative
members of the present parliament, 401 are
liberals outright, % belong to the labor
other "a may be described as labor MEM
bers. but they are not to be relied upon.
To show the tremendous revolution that
has taken place 1t Is only necessary to
compare former parliaments with the
present one In 1900 the conservatives. or
unionists had 4O2 members of the house of
commons: today they have only 157 In
1890 the opposition to the government had
26S votes Today the same political party
has 513.
The situation is further illustrated by the

CITY TREASURER STAHL
is KEPT MOVING

Yesterday was the first day that
City Treasurer Stahl occupied his
office in the Library building for the
collection of the city taxes. All day
he was kept busy attending to the
people who came, and all day today
the same performance has been the
rule. The fact that so many people
are ready with the money to pay
their taxes is a good indication of the
prosperity of the city, and unlike pre-
vious years there seems to be a de-
sire on the part of most people to get
the tax matters off their hands.
Therefore, they are keeping Mr.. Stahl
on the move constantly.

BARBER SHOPS
WILL CLOSE
1t Has Not Been Decided to In.
crease the Price Of Slaves.

There has been a great deal of talk
among the BARRIERS of this city as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of boosting the price
of a shave to fifteen cents. This is in
line with the movement i'm a number
of cities, which have already taken
the step, but in a great many the
move has proved unpopular.
1t has been stated as authoritive
that the Tonsorial artists of this city
would begin their schedual Jan. 1st.,
but in interviewing the different pro-
prietors, the facts seem to have been
miscarried, as there has been no
definate step taken so far. Most of
the men in this business are suspicious
of such a move, and do not think it
good policy.
"Of course, said one of these
gentlemen, "'the BARRIERS would like
to get fifteen cents per shave if it
were advisable to do so. We are no
different than any other business man
be he a newspaper man or merchant,
but BARRIERS like all other men in
business consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
a move, and while it was talked
at their last meeting there
was no decided step taken, and
there probably will not be-"
AT the meeting noted above the
Tonsorial artists of this city decided
to close their parlors all day Christmas
and New Years days. 1t will be
advisable therefore for all patrons to
bear in mind that they will have to
get their work done early.

L. M. Nash. has turned his hunting
trip to better account than most Dim-
rods. When his party arrived home from
the northern woods with their string
of twelve deer, they called in Pho
tographer Mcneil who made an eX-
cellent picture of the party and their
evidence of success. From this
picture Mr.. Nash procured an ex-
cellent half tone cut, which is repro
duced in another part of this issue of
the REPORTER, and engaged the RE
PORTER Press to make him a large
number of calenderS for 1907. These
have been finished and are now being
distributed by the Centralia Hard
ware Co., whose advertisement they
bear. Pleasure has been made to
serve business byl this combination,
and these calendars will be all the
more sought after because of the fact
that each hunter is is designated
under his picture.

of a well known Green Bay firm, and

Don't knock your town. A little
weak chick with its soft little bill can
break its way out of an egg with COM
parative ease. Those of you who have
tried cracking an egg on your knockleS
wonder how the chick does it. Scien-
fists have a very simple explanation
for it which is this: The chick knocks
from the inside and the arrangement
of the PARTICLES that make the shell
are such that they are easily driven
apart from the inside, but wedged to-
gether when struck from the outside.
It's the same way with a city. The
knocks from the outside have little
effect, but even light taps from the
inside are disastrous. It's the knock.
ers at home that hurt a city. Don't
knock; boost instead and there will be
no knocks from the outside. Elk,
change.

Miss Aurellia Bandeline suffered
a very painful and troublesome injury
Tuesday evening, while skating at the
roller rink. In some manner one of
her skates came loose and she
stumbled and fell, striking on her
wrist in such a manner as to injure
it very severely. The pain was in
tense, and by the time that a physic-
ian arrived the swelling was SC great
that a thorough examination of the
injury was impossible. The wrist was
done up in splints, and while it is
thought that some of the bones are
broken, it will be hard to tell fol
some little time.
