I'VE believed that there was no
such thing as over production, but
that We needed to produce a great
deal more, and that it was pos
sible for everyone to share in the

the British empire there are
stored up great natural resources.
We believe in creating more wealth
and in seeing that it is shared by

Democracy vs.. Red-ism.
Democracy means that all sec
tons and all classes shall have a
voice in the government, that it
shall be administered by no one
class more than the other. -
But the reds say that only one
class shall rule. The people who
work with their hands shall gov
ern and control"
Deprecating the recsnt radical
measures employed ~ the labor
unions, the speaker turned to
women to offer tbs eventual solu-
ton, all labor disorders, with
power of the wute in their hands
and the awakening to the respon-
sibility of its use.

sponsibAity toward the future, the

BARRIERS.

Tho Union barber shops will be oper
 the day before Christmas until D
 m. and on Christmas day until noon
 The same hours will he observed
 Friday. December 3I, and New Years
 Day.
 The barbers say this arrangement. is
 for the accommodation Of the public
 One believes this Is true. The cynical
 may say that the barbers are doing | it merely for the purpose of getting in all tho cash they can.
 But 1t seems quite fitting that at this time the barbers receive q word of eommenration. not solely on account of this satisfactory arrangement for the holidays. but also for their almost unvarying politeness and tact in the execution of their duties.
 One may say this is their business that they gain trade by observance of these qualities. True. but the same remark is true of other trades and professions in which the same degree of courtesy is not observed
 A S'SAt' TUT HiStdnte, would prOnt much if all it's salespeopIo were habituaIly alert and polite and in- spired by a desire to aid the customer. often this is found not to be he case. A lawyer or physician would profit by unvarying politeness--it is true in every walk of life.
 But the barber seems to have ap- piled it to his work more than any other class of men. It is not always easy for the barber to remain calm and polite under the criticisms of some petulant patron. But as rule he does. Barbers gained some censure years ago by their desire to talk with a patron while shaving him. To a great extent this has passed away un- lesH the patron himself is Ioauacious. Cleanliness IS practiscd: consideration in the little things
 In the drive for the General Hos pital the barbers. with few notable exceptions. did their part-and the | financial conditions of barbers at this | time is not the best
 So let us believe that in arranging Tor convenient hours in the holidays Inc barbera have for fact continued | ilietr habit of consideration for the | public.

THE OBSERv41
MAKES
THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE.
RANDOM OBSERVATIONS

|. with the office of property tax col lector would be step in the direc- | tion of efficiency and economy, many believe. When one office can do the work there is no need of maintain
 ing two, with two salaries two diff
 ferent locations in the city building causing no end of confusion and the use of two offices, they argue.
 For several years this subject has been discussed and while many saw in it a reasona blc move ii was never brought to a head because the incum- bent had sufficient influence with the powers that be--the secret govern , mer1t that meets on street corners in every American city-to forestall any action that might mean the discon- tin,iance of the office. Another reason why it was not abolished was be- cause it meant just so much more patronage for the mayor, who has authority to appointS the collector of personal taxes, and patronage is a big asset during a campaign.
 The title, personal tax collector, is n misnomer to begin with. The hold CT of the office accepts taxes after they are brought to his office. His effort toward collecting them is to send out notice that the tax is due and should be paid After that he can sit at ease and wait for the money to come in.
