The Poor Little Toe

Nay mine Is harder yet said the Brain:
When you toll said the Eye ''as steadily as l.
OH, THEN you II have reason to complain"
Then voice faint and low of the poor Little Toe
Spoke out IN the dark with wall
IL is seldom complain but You all will bear your pain
with more patience if YOU hearken % my tale

am always sick and aing sore and tired
But carry all the weight of the body small or great,
Yet no one ever praises what | do
am always in the way, and It's | who have TO pay
FOR the folly and the pride Of all Of YOU"

SUPERSTITION.

Editor The Georgian:
l read your editorial, How to
Have Good Luck" with a great
deal of interest, and l would like,
in the interest of truth, to see
some editorial writer go deeper
into the underlying causes of SUI
perstition. Are the educated
classes less superstitious than the
uAeducated masses? or do the ed
uCated classes seek to spread dark
ness and superstition when fairy
tales too numerous to describe
are dished out as mental food to
small children?
Superstition is an effect and edu-
cation the cause. We do not OBJ
tain all our education in the class
room, by any means Education. in
general sense, is the result of
contact association, and con
tend that the grownup wiz be alb
solutely free from superstition if
the child could be guarded from
contact with supertitious ltera-
ture and teachers, both in and out
of the class room. Superstition is

are absorbed by contact; then. at

in labor, yet the laundries of Amer

Asked for Explanation.

Just for the fun of the thing in
order to get line on that particu-
lar wash house, / went around and
demanded an explanation
The young woman in charge said
they had found the money in the
right hand pocket of a left-hand
white vest which l had sent in the
bundle Then she explained, quite
incidentally, that whenever soiled
clothes came in every garment was
carefully inspected for valuables.
Every day they found money in
pockets, diamond studs in shirt
bosoms, valuable links in cuffs, and
collar buttons enough to roll under
all the bureaus in Christendom.
1T is a part of our business"
said the young woman. Ito protect
our customers against their own
carelessness."
She saw I was interested, and
continued: I'VE never send gar
ments home with the buttons off"
| said: DO you iron many but
tons OFF,"
NO, we do not; but when gar
ments come in with buttons off we
always sew them on, so as to re-
turn the garments in good order,
ready to wear. Also, we do any lit
tie darning and mending that
should be done, and all this with
out charge. Our business is to
please our customers"
In looking over a volume of the
last United States industrial cen
sus, l find that they could not call
a laundry a factory. SO they give it
a class all by itself. A laundry has
only one thing to sell and that is

ALsCHULER,s RECORD.

Samuel Alschuler effectually an
swers the charge OF his opponents that
he is not denouncing jackpotism in
his addresses. He declares jackpot
ting is not new, but it has obtained
in the state Legislature for many years
and that when a member of that body
he was chosen by his colleagues to
lead the fight against such jackpot
measures as the Allen bill, the Hum
phry bill and the gas bill.
ITO those acquainted with public
AFFAIRS" he says:
I'm Chicago and the state at large
1t may not be necessary to suggest
that j was up to the neck fighting cor.
ruption and graft and Doodle and
Jackpotism' in the legislature in
whatever form or under whatever
name it presented itself. To those who
have been interested enough in pub
lie affairs to know what has been go
ing on it also will be quite unneces
sary for me to say that from then un
til now, upon many occasions, pub
lie and private, my voice always has
been raised in firm opposition to al
those evil tendencies in government
and in the advocacy of higher ideals
for the people and greater care and
vigilance upon their part in the selec
ton Of their candidates and officers"
That the people Of the state recog
nized his service in the great figh
against boodling is seen in the fac
that when he was a candidate fol
governor in 1896 he ran 10000 ahead
Of his ticket. In that campaign h'
carried Chicago by $1,000, though Nc
Kinley carried the city by 1900. Hi
majority was the largest lever give
to any democratic candidate for an.
office, national. state, county, or mt
nicipal. in all the history of Chicago.

ABUSE OF MAILS.

Nearly every congressman and SEN
ator in the United States, for the next
seven months, will be loading the mails
down with campaign matter that pays
no postage. that is printed by the gov
eminent for nothing and sent out
through the United States mails at the
expense TO the postoffice department of
thousands and perhaps millions of dol
lars. AS soon as the election Is over
and the statesmen are safe in their
seats. they will discover that there is
e large deficit in the postofice depart
ment caused by what they call second
class" or newspaper mail.
This free campaign matter is an evil
which should be stopped. Everybody
that uses the postoffice department OF
the government ought to pay for that
privilege.

Is 1T A CHANGE OF ooNsc1ENCEg

There is an existing notion among
republicans that a great change must
have come over Chauncey Dewey
since the halcyon days Of 1905. Mr..
Dewey is now manager Of the colonels
campaign in Illinois. and as such he
Is daily making the expected amount

the kind OF primary that he says will

70 express itself.
, IL IS recalled that in 1905 the repub-
hcan delegation from Illinois was for
Joe Cannon. with the exception OF two
delegates in a Chicago district, and
that the district in which Chauncey
Dewey lived. That district sent TO the
convention. two delegates who voted
for Mr.. Taft.
The story Is that Chauncey Dewey
stole a march in that district: that II
really belonged to Cannon along with
the rest OF Chicago, but that Chauncey
did some sharp work. There was
something about Chauncey getting hil
fellows to a meeting two hours ahead

room for the Cannon fellows TO get in

AS evidence of their ability as hui

HEREDITY AND EDUCATION.


Francis G. Blair, state superintend-
ent of instruction, made a talk to the
teachers recently in Decatur in which
he stated that the education of a child
should be begun 200 years before
birth. Many concluded that heretofore
this has been neglected.
1t is not stated how much Of an au-
thority Mr.. Blair is on the subject of
heredity, and it is not certain that fore
most authorities in that line are at all
sure about such information as they
are moved to hand out Heredity has
not yet been tanned and reduced to an
exact science.
If there is anything in what Mr.
Blair says the education of a child OF
today does date back 200 years. If II
should be started 200 years before
birth It does start, though of course
it may not always have been well di
rected.
There is one feature about this
which, as the Decatur Review in
commenting on Superintendent Blair's
speech says. is puzzling. Two brothers
will be very much unlike. For the zoe
years preceding their birth they have
had exactly the same education; also
they may have much the same in the
20 years after birth.
How can they be SO much unlike?
