WOMAN CANDIDATE
FOR SCHOOL BOARD.
STATES HER VIEWS
EVENING STAR Representa-.
tive Gets First Interview
from Mrs. Eakins.
TRUSTEES OUGHT TO
KNOW LIFE IN HOME
Says That Nowadays Fully 90
Per Cent. of Teachers Are
of Her Sex.

Mrs. William C. Eakins, who has
been Endorsed by a number of Airing
ton women's clubs for school trustee
in that town, made her first authorized
statement today 70 THE EVENING
STAR as to why women should be on
the school board. Her statement is as
follows:
1.-The principal reason why there
should be women represented on the
Board of Education is because there
should be closer cooperation between
the school and the home.
women will be freer to express their
views to one of their own sex as re-
CARDS any Improvement that can be
made toward the educating of the
children.
Another reason why women should
be on the board is because of the fact
that most of the pupils in the schools
today are girls and 80 per cent of the
teachers are women.
1.-The only way to teach children is
to know them, and the best way to
know them is to see them at their
home and at their play; women a a

dren.'
Not Trying to Crowd Men.
Mrs. Eakins emphasized the fact that
the ONE are not trying to GROVE
out the men.
I'VE have good schools" she said,
land we women do not want TO run
them; we want to do just what the
men allow us to do at home-look out
IDr ritn .4rAitAt.n - mn .Ittla nnAC In
u word, We want to have a voice in the
education OF our children, n make
improvement along certain educational
lines. We don't want, by any means,
10 see the men lose interest in the edu-
cation OF our children"
Asked as TO her chances of being
elected, Mrs. Eakins stated that the
men who had been spoken to in the
matter had acted in a very courteous
manner, and had given every assurance
OF their hearty support. 1T is up to
the men: we will have to abide by their
decision, and if they don't want us we
will have to be satisfied, but the day is
coming when they will want us"
concluded Mrs. Eakins.
Campaign by Letter.
A meeting of the several women's
clubs was held last night at he home
of Mrs. Eakins and it was decided to
send out letters to every political party
in the town asking them to indorse
the woman candidate. 1t was also ar
ranged to procure a nomination blank,
have it signed and taxi it's regular
course Special stress was laid upon
the fact that the clubs do not embrace
any particular political doctrine; the
idea is to appeal to every one.
1t vas announced today that there
is a movement on foot to nav a woman
Il for school trustee from the Fourth
Ward. The nam of the woman could
not be learned. although it is under
stood that one has been decided upon.

POLITICAL GRAfTERS.
Men Who HaYe to be Carefully Handled IN
Presidential Campaigns.

When the grafters begin to ar
rive at the head quarters Of either
Of the great parties in a presiden-
tial campaign the most detested
of all, but the one who must,
nevertheless, be handled with
care, is the man who claims to
CONTROL the vote of a nationality
or class. By this is meant he
who says he has the negro, italian,
German and Hebrew, or labor
vote in his vest pocket, and goes
from one party to the other quite
willing TO sell it to the highest
bidder.
This CRATER appears at head
quarters in campaign after cam
paign. He is the only one of
whom the party managers are, in
a sense, afraid. For in some ill.,
stances he may control a vote,
though it be not as large as he
claims, and this vote the party
wants if the figuressfor obtaining
it are not too bigh. The total
vote in some cases may not be
large enough to do more than
sway a district; IL others it may
only be a fsw hundred. TO take
care of the man and prevent him
from holding up the committee
fortoo much money is the problem
to be solved.
In national and state campaigns
the managers rely upon the loca
party leaders to inform then
who's who and what's whatamon@
these grafters, and they only dea
with those accredited, as it we're
But in''many instancssth these graft
ers are an army IN themselves
Each controls his ~conterle of vo
voters, hence q foreign vote, as al
example, is sometimes obtained

l zens" of the nationality in ques
ton rather than from a single in

It sometimes happens that thes
grafters sell in both parties, Fo

it is charged that q labor leade
sold the vote of his organization
to Eboth parties, the Democrat
, alone paying something like $40,
900 for it. Both parties foun'
out this double dealing, but, o
course, could do nothing.
The man who would contour,
"the other side' and win the battl
by some unique method is varia
, ton of the type who haunts head
quarters. This kind the rea
managers carefully avoid. He i

People of Salisbury who suffer
with sick kidneys and bad backs

be depended upon. The best is
Doan's Kidney Pills, a medicine
for the kidneys only, made from
pure roots and herbs, and the only
one that is backed by cures in
Salisbury. Here is Salisbury tes-
timonY.
John W. Glover, 1913 So. Long
Street, Salisbury, N. c., says: SIN
my estimation Doan's Kidney
Pills is the best kidney remedy on
the market today. Isuffered from
kidney complaint for a long time
and often was in a serious condi-
ton from the severe pains in my
back and through my loins. FIRE.
quently in the morning I would
be so lame and sore that 1 could
net get out Of bed without assis-
lance and 1 was at a loss to know
how to dispose of my trouble.
Finally a friend told me about
Doan's Kidney Pills and deciding
to try them, Iprocured a box from
the Salisbury Drug Company. A
short Use stopped the pain in my
back and improved my health.
Whenever I notice a slight return
of the trouble, I promptly resort
to Doan's Kidney Pills and. good
results are always forthcoming.

in the case of George Fincher YER
sus the Southern Railway filed
into court yesterday morning and
returned q verdict of $4,000 for
the loss of a right arm, which was

yesterday. One was the suit of
Charles R. Moore against the

TRAINING THE WILL.
An Appeal to Keep Public Children Out Of

Rut.
A man without will power is a
rudeless ship sure to drift aim
lessly with every shifting current
or to be driven upon rocks and 60
to pieces. The ship may be other
wise we'll equipped and laden with
the most precious cargo, but if
there be no strong hand to hold
her to her course through angry
seas and fierce head winds she
would better have never been
launched. In training children
for their life voyage, we load them
to the waters edge with all sorts
of Improbable and superfuous
commodities, and are 80 absorbed
IN the ship and what she carries
that we forget all about the little
rudder, lor lack of which, unless
by lucky accident or wind and
tide, or some friendly tow, she
can never make port.
Beginning almost during in.
fancy, children are taught, OF
rather crammed with, heteroge-
neous information. If they learn
to repeat certain formulas and
statements of facts by rote they
are passed on from one stage to
another, till they are turned out
with a diploma, fully educated.
The power to concentrate and fix
the mind on a subject, the most
valuable result that can come
from education, is little insisted
on, and only now and then &C
quired, and the systematic train
ing of the will, the central guild

JAPANESE PAGODAS.
Enormous Pendulums Render These
Old Structures Earthquake Proof.

Enormous Pendulums Render These
Old Structures Earthquake Proof.
The only old structures in Japan
which seem to be earthquake proof are
the pagodas, which were erected before
the temples. There are many which
are 700 or 800 years old and as solid
as when first built.
There is reason for this, and it lies
in their construction. A pagado is
practically a framework of heavy tim
bers which starts from a wide base
and is in itself a substantial structure,
but rendered still more stable by
peculiar device. Inside the framework
and suspended from the apex is
long, heavy beam Of timber two feet
thick or more This hangs from one
end Of the four sides. Four more heavy
timbers, and if the pagoda be very
lofty still more timbers, are added to
these. The whole forms an enormous
pendulum, which reaches within six
inches Of the ground.
When the shock Of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda the pendulum swings
in unison and keeps the center Of grav-
ity always at the base Of the frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium
of the pagoda is never disturbed, and
this is the explanation of the great
height one would suppose them to be
peculiarly susceptible to the effects Of
the earthquake.

FOR REALISM.
Robert Louis Stevenson's Injunction to
a Small Nephew at Play.

Robert Louis Stevenson's Injunction to
a Small Nephew at Play.
A story about Robert Louis Steven
son not generally known, according to
the New York Sun, Is told by Mrs.
Stevenson's grandson, Austin Strong.
When Mr.. Strong was a little chap
Mr.. Stevenson liked to sit propped up
in bed to watch him at play in the
next room. And often it happened
that the bigger boy of the two would
make suggestions for the make be-
lieve games and insist that they be car
ried out too.
One day Austin had arranged some
chairs in a row, playing that they
were ships. and he, standing on the
front. was the captain. For a long
time he proudly walked the deck Of
his vessel, encountered pirates and
weathered all kinds Of storms until he
felt the floor positively heave under
his feet
Mr.. Stevenson looked on in perfect
silence, but complete absorption, no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder of the two. Finally Austin
got tired of his vessel, climbed off his
chair and began walking across the
room to some object which had at
tracted his interest.
This was too much for his uncle.
Still deep in the game, Mr.. Stevenson
rose in his sickbed and shouted ex-
citedly at the recalcitrant sea captain:
"Swim. - you, swim!'

The Seven Prophets.

"The late Duke of Devonshire," said
a diplomat at Washington dinner,
''kept stud and took a calm and ducal
interest in the races. There was a GER
tain sporting paper that kept a large
staff of prophets and always prophesied
the outcome Of important races. The
duke for some reason put great reli-
ance in these prophets and their proph-
ecies. He always read the paper, and
he continually recommended it to his
friends. But once at Goodwood, at
the days end, a man came up to the
duke and said:
"'What of your paper now? Did you
see it this morning? Six prophets
prophesied that six different horses
would win, and here only seven ran,
and the winner was the seventh, which
no prophet had selected. Well, what
have you to say now?
"'All I have to say the duke an
swered calmly, is that there's room for
another prophet on that paper

False Hair.

False hair was first regularly worn
in England by Queen Elizabeth, who
had upward Of fifty wigs of different
kinds for her private use. After her
death a few women adopted the
French fashion Of wearing wigs, but 1t
was not until the restoration that
wigs, or, more correctly speaking, peri
wigs, came to be extensively worn by
the sterner sex. These were intro
duced in the court Of Louis XIV,
where a natural head of hair was not
considered sufficiently luxuriant for
the artificial tastes Of the times. The
term "periwig" is a corruption Of the
French perruque. Wigs were original
ly adopted not as remedy for bald
ness, but in the interest Of personal
cleanliness. The laws Of ancient Egypt
compelled all males to shave the head
and beard. This explains why turbans
were not worn by the Egyptians, the
bushy artificial hair being regarded as
a sufficient protection against the heat
of the sun. The Romans, on the con-
trary, wore wigs because they were
naturally bald.-St. Louis Republic.

Artificial Teeth.

1t is certain that the ancients had
knowledge of dentistry, but it Is diff
ficult to determine when or by whom
the use of artificial teeth was intro
duced. Herodotus says that the Egyp-
tians had dentists for the teeth" In
the British museum there are various
dental instruments which had been
found in the ruins of Pompeii, and
Galen in the second century describes
the method Of extracting teeth by
means of forceps. Belzoni says that
artificial teeth were In use In antiquity,
since he found some specimens in the
catacombs.
Modern dentistry admits that the
first to teach how to make artificial
teeth was the Arabian Albucasis, and
in his work "Al Tariff" are drawings
Of instruments used for this purpose.
The earliest known allusion to artifi-
ciaI teeth Is by Martialis In the first
century:
You use without blush false teeth and
hair,
But, Laelia, your squint is past repair.

A WARM RECEPTION.
1t Gave the Hungry Preacher an Ap'
petite For Dinner.

1t Gave the Hungry Preacher an AP-
petite For Dinner.
Before accepting an invitation it is
as we'll to be sure it Is given in good
faith. After an afternoon service held
many years ago in certain village in
Scotland the preacher, stranger, who
had officiated, accompanied one Of the
elders of the congregation home and
was introduced to his wife. The good
man having asked the clergyman to
stay to dinner, the latter, after little
pressing, consented.
The good lady hurried off to prepare
for the unexpected guest, and, seeing,
as she thought, her husband washing,
as was the custom in those days, at
the family sink, she seized the family
Bible, approached stealthily from be-
hind and brought down the ponderous
tome upon his bald pate, exclaiming:
''Tak' We that for bringing hungry
preachers here to dinner every time
they come to the parish"
AS soon as the assaulted one could
get the suds out Of his eyes he looked
about him and, after thinking the mat
ter out, concluded that the old lady
had made a slight mistake. She, too,
came to the same conclusion when, on
returning to the parlor, she beheld her
husband patiently waiting for his rev.
erend friend!-Dundee Advertiser.
