LEADERS OF PUBLIC


In every city, town or COM
munity there are leaders and fol-
lowers of public opinion. wha,
constitutes right and wrong and
what builds up or pulls down en-
terprises or industries, are the
main principles that characterize
n people. According to reason
and common sense, intelligence
and morality are the chief re-
quisites Of leadership, and when
these are lacking some one is
Sinking duty.
The local pastors, lawyers, edi-
tors, doctors, professors OF the
University, teachers, business
men, mechanics and farmers, who
have the back bone to stand bold
ly for the right should be the
leaders of public opinion. The
higher the position an individual
occupies or the greater his intel
ligence, the greater his response
bility to the public. Our citizens
are ever striving to shine as legal
lights, as physicians, orators and
successful business men, why not
strive to be leaders of public opin
ion and mould it in right lines?
We have boys who should be lead
to despise fraud, intemperance
and vice to such an extent that
they will not tolerate its existence
There are girls to be educated to
such a high standard OF ideals
that they will insist upon purity
life and temperance in those
with whom they associate. Such
leaders of public opinion are ever
in demand, and We may attain
such leadership if we persistently
keep to the middle of the road in
and bravely assume our in
dividual share OF our community's
good name. We may become I'M
popular with the masses and poor
in purse, but to be able to lead a
people in the right way is a power
which might be coveted by kings.

Cleanliness and Health.

ED. EAGLE: Permit me to call
attention TO certain unhygenic
conditions which exist in Oxford
and elsewhere and to which the
! people are unwillinglv subjected.
The time has passed when il
could be supposed that one per-
sons lack of cleanliness was a
matter of ssunconcern to others,
and the public has a right to de-
mand that those who solicit its
patronage shall conform TO the
simple laws of cleanliness that
makes for good health. There
are many things that might be
noticed here, but | wish especi-
ally to call attention TO four.
/. Articles of food kept by gro
GERS, butchers, and others should
be kept free from contamination
and should be handled with scru-
pulously clean hands and instru-
ments. Articles OF food that are
ordinarily not washed before eat
ing should never be exposed to
dust, flies or foul hands. Yet
we often see figs, candies, and
other such articles exposed to the
filthy dust of the streets and to
insects and handled in such a
way as to forbid appetite. Re-
Gently | saw a grocer walk in
from the street where he had
been rubbing a horses nose and
without washing his hands cut
a piece OF cheese and handle it
in wrapping it up for a customer.
z. Druggists 10 whom we look
for assistance in preserving
health sometimes forget its sim
plest laws. Have you never seen
them blow their breath into your
bottle or I'LL it from another on
which the dust Of the street had
accumulated? Not long ago Tin
another town. bought some
tablets from n druggist who
poured them out into gblack
dirty hand which apparently had
not been washed the whole day
long. Needless to say. | threw
the tablets away and bought some
more at another house.
3. BARRIERS should wash their
hands carefully for each new GUS
toner. Each customer has the
right to expect that no cloth, ra-
zor. or hand shall come in con-
tact with his face until after it
has beer thoroughly cleaned from
previous use. Last week a.
entered a shop the barber was
rubbing with both his hands a
head OF hair that did not, appear
the cleanest in the world; when
| took my place in the chair these
same hands without any washing
or cleaning whatever proceeded
TO lather and rub my face.
4. Las Of all, a word about
the splitting habit. Everybody
now knows that this is both a
and a dangerous habit.
Consumption, the most dreaded
Of all diseases, is spread very
largely by this means, to say
nothing Of other diseases. Wei
have a right 70 demand that our
places, such as the court
post-ofice, station, and
the stores and sidewalks be kept
clean from this disgusting habit.
II a person must spit why should
ne spit on the floor or sidewalk
when there is ell out-of-doors to
on?
