The Toothbrush in Education

1.-THE gospel of the toothbrush" as
General Armstrong used to call it, is a
part of our creed at Tuskegee. No stu
dent is permitted to remain who does
not keep and use one. Several times.
in recent years, students have come to
us who brought with them almost no
other article They had heard from
older students about our insisting upon
its use. One morning / went with the
lady principal on her usual tour of in
spection of the girls rooms. We found
one room that contained three girls
who had recently arrived at the school.
When l asked them if they had tooth
brushes one of the girls replied point
ing to a brush: Eyes, sir. That is our
brush We bought it together, yester-
day." 1t did not take them long to
learn a different lesson.-From Booker

CINE MANS OPINION ON
ELECTION DAY PAY

To the Editor of The Spy
The announcement that an effort
would soon be made to have the pay
of precinct officers increased to $40 per
day has aroused a very general note OF
opposition and protest.
1t is claimed that already 1t costs
too much to poll the registered voters
of the city on election day, and that
the expense should be diminished or
altogether abolished than increased.
When the Australian ballot was first
adopted, as many as 1900 ballots w6re
cast in some of the precincts OF the
city, and those having experience al
firm that competent men can easily
handle this number and get in their re-
turns promptly. giC
In the outset precinct officers re-
ceived three dollars for their service on
election day, and this amount being
more than many of them could earn
at their usual occupation, was very
satisfactory. At that time precinct ofii-
GERS were selected by the city clerk
and care was taken to place upon the
list only the names of those competent
to perform the work, and so on cleo
ton day everything went smoothly
and returns were promptly and accu-
rately made.
But this system of making selection
did not give the machine sufficient OPP
portunity to reward active political
service of henchman out of the public
treasury, and now both political par
ties, through their respective city
committees. make up this list for ap-
pointment by the mayor.
The per diem compensation was soon
after advanced to six dollars. which is
the amount now paid, and this haS
stimulated large numbers to seek the
Mace who have never seen the DAY
when they could earn one-half this
amount. and who have not a single
qualification for the ofice,-who could

Fire Starts at Midnight on Docks
of Chicago Coal Company and
Spreads Rapidly to Neighbour
ing Buildings
FIVE ACRES OF COAL
BURNED TO ASHES
Fire Is Believed to Have Been of
Incendiary Origin and Was
Started on the Anniversary of
Chicago's Great ConfIagration,
Thirty Years Ago

Chicago, Oct. S.-Shortly before mid
night tonight fire started on the docks
of the Peabody Coal Company, at the
foot of Orleans Street. The flames
spread to some freight sheds of the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway and
to buildings occupied by the Globe
Lighting & Heating Company and the
Davidson marble works. Twenty fiat
cars standing on the tracks nearby
were consumed. The damage is heavy,
chiefly on coal belonging to the Pea
body company.
The fire spread through the Pea
body yards until five acres of coal
were in flames. The loss on coal is
estimated at upward of $250000. A
high wind was blowing at the time.
The fire is believed to have been of
incendiary origin. Two weeks ago an
attempt was made to set fire to the
coal sheds, IT is declared, and Off
Gals of the company assert there was
no other way for the fire to have
started tonight.
Francis S. Peabody, president of the
coal company, returned to Chicago to-
day from a trip to Europe. He was
visiting at the home of friend when

not mass the most rudimentary civil
service examination, should such eX-
animation be required to secure sucn
appointment.
Nor is this all. Precincts and pre-
cinct officers have been so multiplied
to reward active political workers that
1t already costs double the amount ii
should to secure poll of the regis
tered voters of the city on election day
and yet active politicians are not salts
fed, but want the amount nearly dou-
bledi
1t is we'll known that the quality of
the service rendered is in inverse ratio
to the amount paid, that over-gener-
Gus compensation only seems to stimu-
late the incapable to strive for the ap-
pointment; and the local leaders" are
only too glad to pay old scores and for
prospective activity by joining in the
clamor and insisting that such
appointments be made.
Our recent elections have given pain
full evidence of the truth of this and OF
the need of a reformation in the
method of selecting precinct officers.
Many thoughtful men are OF the
opinion that no compensation whatever
should be given to precinct officers, and
that a better class of service would re-
suit. They claim that plenty of men
who would be actuated by public spirit
and a sense of duty could be found to
perform the work, and they instance
the cases sof members of the respective
city committees Of both political par
ties, members of the City Council,
board of aldermen and the like, whose
duties are much more laborious and eX-
acting and who give much more OF
their time than do precinct officers for
which they receive no pecuniary con-
sideration. This it is believed would
eliminate the blindly ambitious who
have no qualifications whatever for the
position. who never should be en-
trusted With work of such transcendant
Importance, and who are tempted only
by the heterogeneous compensation. 1t
would doubtless call in more capable
men who could do the work more eX-
peditiously, accurately, and at saving
in expense.
Should the present pernicious sys-
tenn be continued taxpayers generally
feel that the limit in expense for cleo
ions has been reached, and that in
view of the financial condition of the
,ity those entrusted with the manage
nent of city affairs should see to it
hat they be not increased.
Precinct officers who do not care to
,erve at the price paid are under no OBJ
ieations whatever to do so, but for
,very one who declines ten others will
be seeking his place.

DR.. w. SEWARD WEBB
TO BE THE BUILDER

Cleveland. o.. Oct. S.-The Leader to-

From well informed persons con-

land it is learned that the Vanderbilts
are in no way connected with the pro-
.ect to build a line across Cape Breton
TO reach export points of the province
of Nova Scotia. It seems that Nova
Scotia has offered a bounty to induce
some one to build a line of railroad to
connect up the exporting points with
the distributing centres of the interior
of Canada: and also to form an outiet
for the ore and coal mines and steel
properties along the eastern coast.
1t is learned that DR.. W. Seward
Webb has personally taken advantage
Of the option of the bounty and viii
bui1d a road inside of two years. The
movement is one on his own personal
account and is said to have no connec-
tion whatever with the eNw York Cen
tral or other Vanderbilt roads. only
such connection with United States
lines win be made as are natural
through the regular channels Of Cana

street corner and the saloon.
CAS- social intercourseNwith his fellow
men is one of the necessities of a mans
life, and as it was probably that de-
sire for sociability that first led, and
continues to lead most of our young
men into the saloon, we are confident
that if we can but show them the diff
ference between the sociability they
find there and the sociability found in
total abstinence society, that the
cause will receive several recruits in
our town, which will not only prove a
benefit to us, but also to themselves,
and society in general.
'All our undertakings in the past
have been notably successful. This
fact is due largely to the interest taken
and the zeal displayed by our friends
in making them a success, as well as
to the hearty spirit of cooperation
displayed by the members of our socie-
ty. My friends, this work that we
have planned for the coming year can
be made as successful as any of our
past undertakings, but to do this it
will be necessary for you all, both mem
bers and friends, to display the same
keen interest in our work that you
have in the past. My friends, / fear
that + have already taken up too much
of the time which belongs to the
speakers of the evening, but before
closing I wish to say that, as we start
tonight on our second social year, you
will see to it that the start is a good
one, and that the second doctrine of
our constitution, ''Sociability," is ex-
emplified tonight to it's greatest ex-
tent"
After the several speeches, the
spacious dining room was cleared and
the members of the society and their
lady friends enjoyed dancing to the

was filled to its utmost capacity, more
than 100 guests being present. Special
cars conveyed the party to Cherry

bration.
