Mr.. Bowron told about the territory to

denied absolutely that his company had
ever entered into any combination to fix
prices.
lie said he had never known of the Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company
or the American Steel and Wire company
being a party to any such combination,
and that they were always fair in COM
petitive matters.
He said that he had regarded the Steel
corporation al times standing in its
own light by refraning from sending up
prices when it could have done So and
added that at times II had occurred to
him that If he was a stockholder in the
corporation he would feel like the officers
were not handling his affairs properly in
that respect.
Mr.. Bowron gave the names of the
banks and trust companies used in re-
financing the Gulf States Steel. Some of

IT SLAVES MILES OF FACES
Hand of "Tonsorial Artist" Does
Much TRAVELLING In Year

ITdNc''nS III
Pity the work-driven barber whose
hand travels more than twenty-three
miles year in keeping his section
of hirsutie New Year free from SUI
perfuous facial locks, says the New
York Press. You who envy the bar
Der his seemingly leisurely vocation,
pause and consider the physical exer-
ton he gives for the privilege of
living.
A New Yorker who dotes on mathe-
that the barber is about the hardest
driven man in the oity. He sets
forth his observations for the edit
cation of barber shop patrons as fol-
lows:
For a clean shave-chin, cheeks
and upper lip-the number of strokes
was 236, and the time occupied, in
Guiding the preliminary iathering and
the final powdering, was exactly 10
minutes.
Taking the average razor stroke
as being, say one inch in length, the
distance travelled by the blade in re-
moving superfiuous hair from the
face is six yards, one foot, eight
inches.
Consider the barbers shop hours
from a. m to p. m. Deduct one
and a half hours. Assume half of
this time TO be taken up with hair
cutting, shampooing, waiting for Gus
toners, etc, and 1t leaves four and
three-quarter hours for shaving.
AS not every customer Is clean
shaven, We must also make an al
lowance on the number of strokes
and the time occupied. Suppose we
take the average number of strokes
at $50, and the average time for each
shave as eight minutes. This would
give time for the scraping of thirty
six customers, and the distance trav-
eled by the razor would be 5,4OO
inches, or $50 yards.
The number of customers shaved
per week will be about 1876. Allow
a fortnight for the summer holiday,
and you have total of $500 GUS
toners year. with a razor stroke
distance of 1,47O,OOO inches, which is
equal to % miles, S5S yards and 1
foot!
Further investigation revealed the
fact that when the statistician shaved
himself about sos strokes are re-
quired to produce result equal to
that obtained by the barber with mis-
236.

 PRESIDENTS POLICY

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 12.-T am glad we have in the White House now one who will not permit America to be drawn into the warfare now raging, said Secretary Of State Will ian J, Bryan, at the banquet here to. night of the Maryland Society of the War of 1872. Mir. Bryan attended the banquet as the Presidents personal representative.
 For a while" Mir. Bryan continued, "thero was a good deal of criticism of 'watchful waiting, which had be. come Q term of ridicule. But you hear nobody now speak of 1t except in terms of respect. The peaceful methods of the New World stand out in striking contrast to the methods of the old World. It Is not because our President doubts the patriotism of the people of this country. He knows that lives in abundance would be at the country's call if needed.
 If there was a call for a million volunteers at sunrise the sun would go down on million men who had responded. And there would be standing side by side the sons of those who wore the Blue and the sons of those who wore the Gray. But the President believes that when mother has raised a boy and poured out on him her affections he is worth something more than to be stood up and shot at by another mothers son.
 q glory in the peace propaganda of our President. believe that when his official career has ended the people of the world will feel that he has rendered great service to the cause of peace. In his name promise you when better days have come that there will be no degeneration. am sure that the patriotism of the new era will not be inferior to the patriotism of the old"

ON THE JOB.
s,.-


 We have had Presidents who re- garded the duties of the Chief Magis. tracy as an easy routine. There have been others who used their position to exploit themselves by extensive travel, public shows and incessant speech.making.
 Asked to appear on the stump in behalf of Democratic candidates this fall, Mir. Wilson places his respensi- bilties as President above those that attach to party leadership and says with reference to the state of war in Europe: Every patriotic man ought now to stay on his job until the crisis. is past, and ought to stay where his job can best be done"
 Staying on the job in this case means more than an appreciation of duty and more than willingness to forego pleasure. It reveals an un- shaken confidence in the intelligence and justice of the people. The Presi- dent has made his record and is will. ing to abide by it. His party has made its record and he can see no reason why much talk should be necessary to convince the countrymen that with so many achievements to it's credit 1t should not be cordially indorsed at the polls.
 This is an assumption that the peo- pie of the United States as we'll as their representatives at Washington are on the job. To stay on the job is wisdom at all times, but in the pres. ent crisis it is a policy which in prl- vate life has been forced upon mil. lions of anxious business men, who are in no mood for distractlng sensa- tions or diversions. In the grim com pulsion that is upon them they will fling encouragement in the knowledge that the administrators of the Govern ment are at their posts, alert, labor. ious and true.
 Woodrow Wilson has been on the job for peace. on the job for fair taxa tion, on the job for honest business, on the job for self.respecting industry, on the job for sound currency and on the job for just banking. We believe that great people who are also on the job will take care of him and of every member of Congress, no mat ter what his party label may be, who has supported him. New York World.
