Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth imposed
such taxes, and Peter the Great of Russia
compelled shaving by positive enactment In
the early part of the nineteenth century
boards were "A subject of police regulation in
Europe. The wearing of beard was re-
garded as indicating revolutionary gid dam
gerous opinions.
There have, 'of course, been fashions in
boards as in other kinds of personal adorn-
ment. In the reign of James I astonsh-
ing variety of mostly fantastic boards was
grown. In many countries the example of
the King was followed, n custom of which
we are reminded by the term Imperial" At
one period in English history the guardsmCn
claimed the sole privilege of wearing mus
taches, and for "A civilian to raise one was
considered a piece of unseemly swagger.
You remember that Give Newcome wore q
mustache until the taunts Of his friends who
asked him If he was thinking of going into
the Guards, caused him to shave it off. a
newspaper of 1857, describing the appearance
of the missionary Livingstone at a Mansion
House meeting, said that he came wearing a
mustache, "braving the preiudices of his
countrymen, and thus evincing courage only
inferior to that exhibited by him among the
savages of Central Africa"
Some future Carlyle should write the
philosophy of whiskers.

SAD STATE OF THE NAVY

DETWEEN disgraceful alternatives the
ID Senate chose the less in publishing the
report of Admiral Fletcher on the condition
of our navy This belated publicity was COM
PEELED by publication day earlier, OF an ac-
curate summary in the newspapers. II should
never have been withheld. The conditions
disclosed are almost justification for anti
preparedness. for certainly II We cannot keep
in fighting trim the small navy we have, it
would be folly TO enlarge. In fact. it would be
suicidal. for with a small navy the country is
not so apt 10 rely upon it. Il is bad enough
that there exists lack of men, but men can
be won in time Of war. What is infinitely
worse is that there are not enough officers
and that long process Of education and ex-
perienee, which cannot be improvised, is
necessary before our navy can be practically
eaicient.

years ago. He is also a better soldier than
he was last year when he was fighting the

supply of heavy artillery is ample. The fall
of Erzerum seems to be imminent.

WHISPERS HELP
MAKE PRESIDENTS
Or Is 1t Their Absence?-The Com
ing Campaign Will Tell-Effect
of Boards and Mustaches on
Political Fortunes

ITO formulate a philosophy of whiskers is
i task remaining for some future Plato,
or Kant, John Stuart Mill or Teufelsdrockh.
The subject might be treated a branch OF
utilitarianism or of esthetics, but to omit
the field of politics would be to neglect an inn
portant line of inquiry. =
In our Congress of the United Statep there
are several well-known crops patches of
whiskers. "Cyclone" Davis has won the
sweet rewards of publicity by his many
footed length and by his garb,
Perturbingly picturesque.
but not the least of his distinctions is his
beard. which to be appreciated must be seen.
The strawberry whiskers" of Ham Lewis
are part and parcel of his elegant habili-
ments. They have borne no small part in the
political career of the Senator from Illinois.
Which leads us to reflect on the effect Of
whiskers on the political fortunes of the
wearer. BY "whiskers" we mean, and we
follow the authority of Robinson Crusoe,
not merely boards but mustaches. You re-
member Crusoes great pair of "Turkish
whiskers"
In the early days of our republic the styles
of hair dressing encroached somewhat on the
facial territory anterior to the auricles In
the case of John Adams the ears were en-
tirely concealed though the top of his head
was nude But this consideration does not
prevent classification of Presidents accord
ing to whiskers We find then, that the fol-
lowing chief executives were clean shaven
Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Madi-
son, Monroe, Andrew Jackson William Henry
Harrison, Tyler Polk, Taylor, Fillmore,
Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln Cwhen elected,
Johnson, Mckinley, Wilson. That is II -out
of 27, The following wore mustaches, with
out other adornments Cleveland, Roosevelt,
Taft-only three and all of them recent in
cumbents. The first full-bearded President
was Grant, followed by Hayes, Garfield and
Benjamin Harrison. Burnsided gentlemen
and such are no longer on the available list
of presidential timber. Since 1889 our Presi-
dents have all been chosen from the clean
shaven and the mustached. OF course, times
may change, and the full beard may return.
Let us look over the list of candidates and
possibilities for the 1916 campaign.

Doping Out the Campaign


The result of the survey is as follows;
Clean n-shaven-Wilson, Governor Willis, Sen
ator Harding, Herbert S. Hadley, Senator
Lawrence Y Sherman, Senator La Toilette
Senator William Alden Smith and Senator
Borah Mustached-T II. Roosevelt, Sena-
tor Norris, Senator Cummins Senator Root,
Senator Weeks, Myron r. Herrick and Theo-
dore e. Burton. Full-bearded - Justice
Hughes and Congressman Mann. Mr. Fair
banks is in class by himself with bushy
mustaohe and bushy tuft on his chin which
only a barber could name. If you can't figure
out the chances of each of these men from
the foregoing data, you are utterly worthless
as a political prophet,
OF course there are other methods of dop-
ing out the result. as, for instance, the num-
ber of names candidate has Twenty Presi-
dents from George Washington to Woodrow
Wilson have had but two names apiece, or
having had three, dropped one. This method
TO say the least. is valid TO the same extent
as the whisker test.
Boards have figured in history. After Sir
Francis Drake entered the harbor Of Cadiz
April 10, 1887, and destroyed shipping 10 the
amount of 10000 tons lading, he had, 10

fully covered their shame, saying, "farry ye

war answered the insult, In Greece the
beard was universally worn until the time
Of Alexander, who ordered his soldiers to
shave in order that their boards might not
be seized by their enemies.
When Boards Were Taxed

from the time OF Hadrian 10 that Of Con-
stantine the practice was rare among Ro-
mans. According TO Taeitus, the ancient
Germans regarded a clean-shaven face as a
badge OF seryitude, and the Lombards re-
