Object, hair-cut and a. shave and mental cocktail. Apply to James In man. Looking Glass, Oregon. "You may announce that when the lecturing season opens in the fall that I am going to take the platform.' James lnman, perennial candidate for President, stated to a newspaper reporter this morning. "My subject will be: Hunting for a Barber." Mr. Inman has one thing In his favor to start with, he looks the part. His white hair, heretofore kept trimmed after the common fashion. now brushes againBt his shoulders, and his face, once smooth shaven, Is now adorned with a heavy beard. I quit shaving and began letting my hair grow five months ago," he explained. "I made a resolution at the time that I would never again submit to tonsorial attention until i I found a barber who met my stand ard In morals, politics and religion I wish in the meantime that my hair would grow an inch every 24 hours." "Do you expect to find a college professor holding down a chair In a barber shop?" was the query of his listener. "Not exactly,' was the reply, "nut barbers have the bes opportunities of anyone to acquire a first class education off-hand. They come in contact with the brainiest of men every day In their labor and from such men they enrich their stock of knowledge." "But barbers aren't supposed to make schoolmasters out of their cus- tomers, are they?" persisted the questioner. 1 "Thev do it clandestinely." said lnman. "1 had an experience with a barber back In Pennsylvania over 30 years ago that greatly astonished me and taught me something, as well. I talked to him casually for 20 or 30 minutes about a trying trip to No Man's Land which 1 had just completed and the next day I saw a four-column article about It In the paper. The newspaper man got his Information from the barber. Now. what do you think of that? "My first lecture." Mr. Inman continued, "will be delivered In either Portland or Sail Francisco. Both cities are bidding for me. Then! I will sneak in Salt Lake City. Wash Ineton. D. C. and New York. Some people think 1 am a little addled, but I have been shown greater cour tesies than newspaper men, particu larly by leading railroad men. Hack In the '80s. when I was In the news paper business, the general passen ger agent of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Railroad presented me with a pass over the line for myself, my wife, five children and nephew, In forming me at the same time that this was a favor bigger than any he had ever done for any other news paper man. The most they could get was a pass for two man and wife." And with a triumphant glance at his Interviewer, Mr. Inman waved good-bye with a buckskin gloved hand and went away to purchase a bottle of hair tonic. prepared by the Government for Its prosecution of the fifty-more men In dicted In the conspirac. . It has been stated by District Attorney Charles W. Miller that all this evidence Is to be corroborated by witnesses whose names are already known. The evi dence Is divided as follows: About 40,0110 letters and telegrams taken from the headquarters here of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers, which, according to the charges in the indictment, show that President Frank M. Ryan, Secretary-Treasurer Herbert S. Hockin and executive board members corresponded for six years with business agents of local unions about "jobs" to be blown up. Stenographic records of a tele phone apparatus which the Govern ment had connected with Ryan's office for more than three months and through which. It is asserted, conversations of the Ironworkers' officials about the dynamite tonspir acy were overheard and transcribed. Third, and most important. Ortie E. McManlgal's confession will prob ably be the basis of the prosecution. According to District Attorney Miller. It has been corroborated In every particular. THE LEADER a I M.

"In accepting the office as presi dent of the Roseburg Commercial Club, 1 feel that I am accepting a great responsibility, as 1 believe this to be the highest and most Important office within the gift of the cltliens of Roseburg. I have given the mat ter ronsldersble careful thought and have determined In my own mind that If elected to the position I will endeavor to make several changes In the management of the club affairs. I believe It Is only fair and right to acquaint you with my Ideas before my name Is voted upon, and If there are any members of the club who have any objection to these chsnges. snd are not willing to support me In mv effort to bring them about. you would lie doing me a kindness and conferring a favor on the club to elect some other member In my stead.

The club Is for the entire membership and It has been the object of the club to so nr- I range matters mat tne memners could all find some means of enjoying themselves and sending a pli'sssuit evening. More attention should be paid to the visitors, and more time spent with them In making them feel at home. "There are two matters to be pre sented to the rltlrens of Roseburg the coming season, and I expect to heartily support both of them, in fart If elected president I expect lo see that they are both carried out to a successful Issue.

Portland Oregonian: Four Port- land pulpits voiced a protest Sundav against the conduct of Industrial Workers of the World and Socialists who broke up the Baden-Powell meet ing at the Gipsy Smith auditorium Saturday. Dr. Luther R. Dyott. at the First Congregational Church lnst night, asked why Portland police were so late In reaching the tabernacle. "As loyal Americans." he declared, "we will never allow the red flag to be thrown over the stars and stripes." He characterised the demonstra tion as "the spirit of monocracy gone to seed." and said Socialism would be a long time recovering from the stigma. "Socialists are In bad com pany." he said, "when they mix with those who follow the red flug." Dr. Benjamin Young, at the Taylor-street Methodist Church Sunday morning, suld Portland ought not to have permitted such conduct. Tho Central Christian Church passed Congregational Church Sunday night. J. F. Ghormley, the pastor, referred to the matter In the pulpit. Dr. W. B. lllnson took for his sub ject Sunday night. "Socialism, Its Facts and Fallacies." Anticipating trouble, two policemen were called for, but there was no demonstration at (he White Temple.
