Washington, Sept. 8-Government
operation of railroads for the seven
months ending August | is reviewed
i'll the first report of Director General

The seven regional directors get
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year
and the federal managers of individ-
ual roads or systems varying amounts
between $4,000 and $4,000, although

dents or chief executives.
Directors of the nine divisions OF
the railroad administration are paid
between $4,000 and $4,000 each. Mr..
McAdoo, their superior, receives only
the usual cabinet members salary of
$4,000 as secretary of the treasury

Democrats Find Much
Real Satisfaction in
Making Some Guesses

Lincoln, Sept. 8.-(Special. Dem
ocratic political dope writers are try
ing to secure comfort in the vote of
the last primary. They point one day
to the total vote of each party in this
state and endeavor to show that the
primary vote is not reliable indica-
ton of what the vote at the regular
election will be, in this case the re-
publicans polling the largest vote
Then they come back the next day
and point with pride" to the fact
that in some particular congressional
district the vote of the republican
nominee fell below the combined vote
of the democratic candidates, and this
is an indication that the republican
candidate is going to be defeated.
The particular district referred to
is the Sixth, where the republican
candidate running without opposition
polled less votes than the two demo-
cratic candidates between which there
was a hard fight. They say that this
means that Mr.. Pool, the democratic
candidate, will defeat Mr.. Kinkaid,
the republican.
This is very familiar story. II
has a ring to it that has been heard
every congressional election since
Moses P. Kinkaid began running for
congress in the Big Sixth in 1902
Every year the democrats have had
Uncle Moses" defeated two months
before the election, only to see him
emerge from the ruins" with a big
ger vote each time.
This is the way Uncle Moses" has
been dsfeatedy the majorities for each
year being given just to encourage

"A Sunday Crime

SIHOf man to get his hair cat on 0
L. Sunday morning may not be
classified ms crime in the Criminal Code,
but" said Mr.: Blinkinton, at is neverthe-
less crime against his fellow man.
"You 60 into, say, six chair shop on
a Sunday morning and find every chair
occupied and five customers waiting, You
yourself making' the sixth. Now that
looks as if you would have TO wait a long
time; but really if the men in The chairs
were simply getting .shaves and they were
on an average, half way through when YOU
came in, why, your turn would come ia six
or eight minutes; but l.....
Looking along the chairs now after
you have walked into this shop you see
one barber taking the head rest out of his
chair; his customer is going to have his
hair eut-on Sunday morning! And now
when l look along 1 see two other men
equally thoughtless of the rights or con-
venience of other people getting their
hair cut; and one of these men not only
has his hair cut, but he gets shampoo
and an electric massage as well as shave,
sitting there in the chair with great com
plaeeney as the barber works over him,
while all the exasperated waiting custom
ers sit and fume inwardly, whatever their
display of outward calm. 3.
"And so these three men who elect to
get their hair cut on Sunday morning slow
up the shops entire schedule and make
customers who have come in to get shaved
wait three times as long as they onght to.
"When would have man get his hair
cuta Well, / wouldn't undertake TO say
about that; but certainly would not have
him pick plt ..ae barber shops busiest
