TAFT does not believe in tipping. } For some time before his nomination tor President by the Republican National Conven- tion Mr. Taft had been too busy to get his hair cut. The morning after he was nomi- nated he went to a Washington barber shop, and when the barber had cut his hair he paid 35 cents to the cashier and walked out. He tipped neither the barber nor the brush-boy, Thirty-five cents is enough to pay for a hair cut. Even a man with such a big head and luxuriant locks as Mr. Taft can have his hair cut in} half an hour. Thirty-five cents for half an hour’s work is at the rate of 70 cents an hour. If the barber who did Mr. Taft's hair cutting gets 35 cents an hour, he is better paid | than the average barber, because the barber’s working hours are long and his week's wages figure out consider- ably less an hour than the price for Mr. Taft’s hair cut. Also Mr. Taft Shaves himself; but that has nothing to do with the argu- ment against tip ping. @ Tipping makes wages low and hours long. | The employer regards tips as equivalent to wages, and since the longer the barber works the more customers he handles and the greater his receipts from tips, there is not the incentive to organized eflort for shorter hours as in trades where there is no tipping and where long hours IN YOUR) CT mean high overtime charges for the : ~~ 7, WeSocae employer to pa The only one who profits by tips in the long run is the employer, who saves wages without reducing his price.

Weight, 200 pounds. Stockily built. Stout. Thick neck. Blue-gray eves, brown hair and mustache. NEAR-SIGHTDD, slender boy, (pale of face, narrow of chest and A with legs Iike pipestems) was a familiar figure on New York's streets forty years ago. He was born Oct. 27, 1858, at No. 28 East entieth street. Theodore Roosevelt was a sickly, delicate child, ing little promise of living to manhood. Only outdoor life and a careful sys- tem of exercise could save him. And he followed that course so persist- ently that before he was twenty-one he had won fame as sportsman an@ athlete. Moreover, he had already displayed an unresting, tireless energy that ever urged him to some new feat of strenuousness. Unlike most mem who later won the Presidency, he did not have his own way to make, nor was he forced to fight against poverty or lowly surroundings. Born well- to-do, the way was made smooth for him. Yet he was never content to follow the beaten track. It is hard—perhaps impossible—to tell correctly the life story of a man: who is still in his prime; whose deeds lack the “perspective” needed to ‘classify them as good or bad, wise or foolish. So this account of Roose- velt must lack the completeness striven for in the other “President” articles. In 1649, one Claes Martenszen van Rosenvelt came to America from Holland and founded here the family whose name was later changed to _ Roosevelt. The Roosevelts were always more or less —~° prominent in New York history. Theodore entered § Student and § Harvard University in 1875. There he became ‘editor Ranchman. 3 of the Harvard Advocate, but won no great renown « as a scholar, being graduated twenty-second in his class. Leaving college, he took up the study of law, but soon abandoned it. After a brief political experience Roosevelt went West, where he took a Montana ranch. There he acquired new laurels as a fearless big game hunter. He also quickly gained the respect of the rough cowboys among whom he had cast his lot. Early in his sojourn in Montana, a local “bad man” {s said to have sought to “haze” the young New York tenderfoot in a prairie saloon. Roosevelt not only thrashed the bully, but took away his pistols and kicked him out of doors. But ranch life was only an incident in the future President's life. His real career lay in the East. Soon after graduation from Harvawil he had run for the Assembly; had been defeated; ran again ani was elected. His vigorous methods at once won for him recognition. He introduced into y the first Civil Service bill at Albany. Coming back from the West, he ran for Mayor of New York, in 1886. Abram S. Hewitt. the Democratic candidate, beatshim by more than 30,000. In 1889, President Harrison appointed him Civil Service Commissioner, a post he held with distinction for six years. It was in 1895 that Roosevelt began to loom large in the eyes of the public. He was appointed a Police Commissioner of New York City. At once he made his presence felt. Insisting on a strict, literal construction of the laws, he gained more than a little censure and ridicule by closing saloons and small vendors’ shops on Sundays, and by prowling about the streets at night to see whether policemen did their work properly. For two years he was alternately pratsed, blamed and laughed at for his labors in the Police Department. But his zeal and honesty of purpose were never doubted, even by those who disapproved of his methods. He left the Commissionership in 1897 to become Assistant Secretary. of the Navy o this duty he brought all the nervous energy that had marked each r He urged and worked for « larger, better prepared navy and was, to a great degree, responsible for the well-equipped state of our sea armament when the Spanish war broke out. It was he too. who arranged for the sending of Dewey to Manila. But Roosevelt coulu not rest quietly at an office desk when fighting was going on. He resigned his Navy Department position soon after war was declared, and set. to work, with Leonard Wood, raising the Rough Rider d tes regiment, a spectacular fighting body made up >f clubmem Soldier and athletes and cowboys.

The machine pe fans felt more comfortable when this restless, aggressively inde« pendent man was apparently shelved from active polities. But their triumph wag brief. In September, 1901, McKinley was murdered (third Republican President in thirty-six years to die at an assassins hand), an@ Roosevelt became President of the United States. es amas Missing numbers of this series may he obtained on anplte Y eending # one-cent stamp for each article to “The Evening W calation Departmen — te Reflections of a Bachelor Girl. i ty Helen Rowland HE appiest wife !s not always the one who marries the vest ma hut tae one who makes the best of the man she marri i Who finde | Scriptures.
