agreement was reached to raise the price
OF ha1rcuts from 50 cents to so cents, and
the price of shaves from is cents to 20
cents, with an increase of journevnatn
BARRIERS wages from s5 a week TO SIS a
week, with 80 per cent over $50 to go to
the BARRIERS. But the public made some
objection to this, and a new arrangement

price of haircuts not to he raised, but

new prices went into effect, however. the
master BARRIERS became alarmed, fearing
the new price would cal.sc some men to

prices.

one of the most prominent liberal lead

the Associated Press.
1.-The great crime of the late govern
ment consisted of throwing the country
INTO complete DISCRIMINATION and sub
tecting it to the hardest trials. This
state OF affairs might even have had
dangerous effects on the issue Of the
war. The increase of popular discon-
tent was the cause of the turn which
events have AIKEN. The anger OF the
people was such that the Russian revo-
luton was almost the shortest and most
bloodleSs in history.

The late government was completely
isolated, which confirms the fact that
no one had confidence in it. The great
events OF the last few days make it
possible for the people to gain fresh
confidence. These events will increase
popular enthusiasm and multiply the
national forces giving them at least
power to win the war.

them carrying appropriations. They
are: Senate bill 24o. providing $500
for the purchase OF land at the Red
field feeble minded school, which the
governor considers should not be eX-

bill 425, which also passed. The house
$500 for investigation of the advisa-
billty of state owned terminal elevators
and warehouses.
Senate bill 291 authorized a circuit
judge to call in another judge when cir
cumsfances demanded. 1t was vetoed
on the grounds that it omits many ner-
1torious provisions of law now on the
statute books which should remain.
There is already too much delay in
court procedure which adds to the tax
payers burdens, the governor holds.
Senate bill 1858 was vetoed because

THEIR sENSELEsS DREAMS.
They Were Not Forgotten. as the Little
Gar Had Ordered.

An incident which occurred at the
very beginning Of Nicholas HIS reign
is very Characteristic Of the attitude Of
the former emperor toward any share
Of the people in the government of
Russia
\ deputation of the foremost repre-

At last a detachment of diSluuunteu
horse guards in topboots and with huge
swords hurriedly entered tie hall with
a terrific roise and placed itself in
front Of the awe stricken delegation.
Then the tiny emperor in Wild excite
ment rushed in and, pacing up and
down the hall in the midst of the giant
soldiers and shouting at the venerable

definite speech. the gist of which con-
sisted of the following expression:

SHEEP AND WOOL.

fifteen cents a pound for his wool, but
has nevertheless continued to keep few
sheep, sold his 1916 and 1917 wool for
seventy-five cents pound w. B. Ken
dali of Bowdoinham in that State, with
flock OF thousand or more sheep, the
largest single flock in New England,

the gospel of speed raising and makes no
secret of the way that he makes money
by it. At the same time the Maine agri-
cultural experiment station comes out
with pamphlet showing that it lost 1915
two years ago and S2O7 last year on a
flock of about hundred Sheppard
there were no losses by dogs, which many
farmers hold up as the greatest obstacle
to profit in the sheep business. In spite
of that bookkeeping showing of loss the
experiment station experts insist that
the average farmer can make money on
few sheep through salvage of time and
fodder that would otherwise be wasted.
With wool and mutton soaring as they
do now the inevitable law of supply and
demand may be counted on to turn the
steady decline in our tlocks into at least
temporary increase.

NEW YORK'S SKY LINE.
A Riot Of Architecture In Its jagged
Forest of Towers.

Forest of Towers.
The best of New York is against the
sky. We have not an equally arrayed
town like Paris or London, with a
tolerably even roof line and only few
monuments here and there rearing
heads above the ruck. Everything in
New York tries to be higher than ev-
erything else. The profile of the city
is as jagged as second growth forest.
A city of towers is the name that has
been used to describe Manhattan. But
it is far too polite. We are much more
like a colossal factory town with an
amending variety of workshops topped
by the tallest Of marble chimneys.
Restlessness and activity are its
watchwords. Even our private houses
are stood on end. A few millionaires
can afford to buy a block and spread
out their homes so as actually to look
rooted TO the ground. The rest Of the
world must live on end in tree house.
connected by many ladders, that might
walk off down the street at any mo-
ment Our few monumental structures,
ike Jue custom mousse anu Jfle library
and the Metropolitan museum, are sim
ply noteworthy exceptions whose pla-
cidity makes the surrounding upheavals
all the more turbulent.
Mere change in the manner of the
bandar log is not the real spirit of New
York's sky line, however. 1t is tur-
bulence with a method. Contest, rivalry,
the will to beat out ones neighbor,
stick out in every jutting cornice, In
every soaring tower The brick facades
of the newer dwelling houses quarrel
with each other in exactly the same
fashion. Restraint, modesty a desire
to melt into the general scheme Of
things, almost never occurs to owner or
architect one of the newer houses on
Fifth avenue comes to mind. a perfect
word in dignity and restraint, 1t is al
most indecently conspicuous by reason
Of its contrast with its shouting tenn
pestuous netghbors.- New York Trib-

DISAPPOINTING APPOINTMENTS.

President Wilson's appointments to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, one to
fill vacancy and two to bring the mem
bership of the board up to the enlarged
status provided for by a recent act of Con-
gress, will occasion disappointment to
those who have hoped to see few men
of important railway experience and
proved business capacity included in the
board. 1t is defect of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, as of most of
the Federal commissions designed to
regulate great business interests, that
it is largely destitute Of men having ex-
perience that entities them to speak with
wisdom and authority gained from direct
contact with the problems involved.
Before these appointments were made
there were three lawyers, two former uni
versity professors and a former railway
conductor and labor leader on the board.
To these are added two other lawyers and
a former newspaperman who gained an
entrance into the Federal service through
being director of publicity for the Demo-
cratic National Committee in the last
Presidential campaign.
Not one of the members commands that
peculiar insight into problems of freight
tariffs, payrolls, traffic problems, and so
forth, that is gained by railroad managers
and big shippers, and which enables one
to go quickly and directly to the heart of
difficult questions. While it is proper to
take every precaution against having
board that would be run in behalf of
selfish interest, one may fairly dispute
the wisdom of policy by which board
charged with the regulation of our trans
portation agencies is lacking in single
business man or former railway official
