Peace Duprey this afternoon and was
remanded to Sherbrooke Jail. He will

tai at Mattewan, N. Y, last Sunday
morning. were in his company and
were also detained.
They were charged with being un-

build and the other q smaller man,
at once retained counsel and refus-
ed to disclose their identity.

PC~ITICAL LEADERS IN WASH
INGTON TALK UNION WITH
PRoGRESSlVES.
PARTY MUST HAVE A WINNER
Several Republican Senators Say That
Roosevelt is the Only Man Who
Can Save the Party From Being
Wiped OFF the Political Map.

Washington, Aug. 19.-rne posi-
bility, if not probability, that Theo-
dore Roosevelt may be nominated
by the Republicans, as well as the
Progressives for President in 1916 is
being very seriously considered by
the political leaders at Washington
There is a growing sentiment among
the leaders of all shades of belief
that Colonel Roosevelt is likely to
loom up as the leading contender
against Woodrow Wilson, or whoever
the Democrats may nominate for
President three years hence.
The Roosevelt talk accompanies a
movement on foot to have the Repub-
lican national committee assembled
here next month to call national
convention of the Republican party
looking to the rehabilitation of that
much descredited political organiza-
ton. .-t

The original plan contemplated that
the national committee should meet
for this purpose within sixty days
after the adjournment of congress.

HAIRY SUNDAY
AFTER THE DRY
More Than 200 BARRIERS Want

Of Rest.

SEEK PASSAGE OF LAW

The hairy Sabbath bids fair to follow
on the heels of the dry Sunday.
More than 200 of the city's most skiliful
tonsorial artists have became convinced
that six days only should they labor
the seventh day being the Sabbath Of the
Lord, upon which they should not toll
neither they. nor their scissors, nor their
razors. nor their shaving brushes. nor
their singing tapers, nor their bay rum
bottles.
And having reached this firm convic-
ton. they have upon Bonded knees, be-
seeched the members Of the House Labor
Committee to enact legislation putting
the lid on the Sunday barber shop. so
Washington faces a hairy Sabbath. for
the BARRIERS are about unanimous in their
request, and Congress probably will enact
the desired law.
1t seems that there are at present about
fifty wielders of the razor who keep
open their shops on Sunday to cater TO
those patrons who have not yet learned
the art Of barbering themselves. The
remaining $50 shops Of the city now are
closed on the Sabbath. and the proprie-
tors desire to keep them closed. But they
argue that If the fifty open shops con-
tinue in business. the closed shops will
be compelled to open their doors on
age from being stolen blythe ambitious
artists
Will Be Dead City.
So the hairy Sabbath is about at hand.
Washington will be a dead city on Sur.-
days.
No more will be seen on the streets
during the early hours of Sunday morn
the shaggy army OF young and old re-
pairing to the fifty popular shops for
their Sabbath trimmings. Every Sunday
morning now you can see them. There
are young men who never have time to
shave themselves: others who never try
to use a real. full-hedged old-time razor
Out that they slice a few pimples OF, and
there are still others who complain that
the safety razor at home don't take the
fuzz on clean enough. There are old men
who never have time to shave during the
week, and who for many years have
been placing themselves in the barber
chair on Sunday mornings; others who
are too .decrepit to WELD a razor, and
there are still others who like to call at
the tonsorial parlors in She cool OF the
still morning for the sociable-features Of
the AFFAIR, for every one will admit that
when it comes to a question of conversa-
ton and conviviality the barber is with
out peer.

The house is "a feet inches wide and

able conditions of the market for ma
terial and labor, for about $2,75O A
distinctive feature is the front hall
with its pretty, open, winding stair
way with closet underneath for
hats and coats, and three doorways
which give access to three different
rooms-an unusual feature in house
many long, winding halls that reach
away back and communicate every
where, but they are not economical
of room. In this case the hall occu-
pies very little space; but the con-
venience and artistic effect are much,
greater than in most halls, although
others may be much more pretentious.
1t is great thing, in building, to utilize
space to the best advantage. Measure
ments are arbitrary. In given
ognized that the enlargement of one
room means that the next one must
be smaller This hall is large enough
for all practical purposes, and it
leaves plenty of room for the parlor,
dining room and sitting room.
The parlor is the smallest of the
three, and rightly so. Parlors are fast
going out of date. Their principal use
has been for weddings and funerals,
and the way some of them are fur
nished leaves a funeral flavor all the
time. The conventional parlor is the
most uncomfortable room in the
house. The children must be exclud-
ed and the men folks are afraid of
disarranging the chair tides or get
ting a chair an inch or two out of it's
proper place. The chairs usually are
stiff backed and uncomfortable, and
too nice for chair, as their principal
occupation is looking prim and unin-

that it was simply his brand of
humor, and then went on and
expatiated on the coming success
of the country.
On this recent trip, Mr.. Powell
revisited this scene and found,
indeed, a wonderful transforma-
tion had taken place. Where he
had left desert, arid, n-bak-
ed and forbidding, he found
fields of noddine grain, pastures
where sleek cattle grazed knee
deep in alfalfa, and orchards
bending with their load of gold
en- fruit.
He writes interestingly of the
Roosevelt Dam and prophesies
that in the not far distant future
similar projects will transform
valleys of the Santa Cruz, the
! San Pedro, the Aqua Frio, the
Verde, the Little Colorado, and
the Gila, and closes with this
paragraph:
"Lawlessness has given way
to law, desert has been plowed
and hoed and watered into a
land of farms and fruit trees;
a wilderness has been converted
into a state. 1t is very wond-
erful thing that has been done
down there in Arizona, and to
the toil-hardened, sun-tanned

one salvation for Mexico and
that is the salvation Of the

true patroits in Mexico, men
who would administer govern
ment with real solicitude for the
welfare and enlightenment OF
the people, but the great mass
of the population which is esti-
mated at Is, 900, 900, are ignorant
and degraded and naturally IN

Only a small per cent have any
mixture of Spanish blood, the
remainder being of the AzteX

A government by the enlight-
ened element is the only possible
kind of government for Mexico.
as for any country, but at pres
ent it seems even the enlighten-
ed element is hopelessly divided.
Whatever may be the outcome
of the Mexican trouble, Presi-
dent Wilson has at least con-
vinced the civilized world that we
enter Mexico with reluctance, if
at all, and that no selfish war of
conquest will be begun on the pre-
text of restoring order in the
unfortunate land. Yet if Mexico
calls a doctor there will doubtless
be a doctors bill.
