PRESIDENT w. w. FINLEY.

The death Of President w. W. Finley, OF the
Southern railway, removes from public life an
efficient, conscientious official and servant of the
stockholders of great corporation and a man
who realized and acted upon the realization OF
HIS public responsibilities.
W. ". Finley could differentiate between his
duties TO his railroad and his duties to the pub
lie. but more than most railway presidents he
understood that those differences are few. He
knew what public service corporation owes to
the public we'll as no knew what the public
to the corporation. He knew that both
possess well defined rights and duties and he
knew that in many. many ways also the rights
and duties of both are the same. He knew also
that the prosperity OF the road OF which he was
the head depended in great measure upon the
prosperity of the country through which 1t
passed and being one OF those bigger moderns.
possessed OF enlightened sefshness, which Ia
the highest unselfshness he was interested in
the agricultural and commercial prosperity of
the country and cities through which his road
passed and aided in their upbuilding.
The Southern railway loses good executive
officer and the South loses an excellent citizen.

Speaking of numbering football players so that
spectators may the better follow the various
plays. the Danville Register says:
Information comes from Richmond that the
managers of both teams have agreed TO this
plan in the interest of spectators. The innova-
ton will DO tried out, and predict that It
will mean permanent and general adoption of
the system whereby the spectators who pay the
big dollars to see the eleven gridiron gladiators
tangle and untangle for two hours tell who
is who In the South the success of the sport
financially depends In large measure upon
the public patronage.
Not only in the Virginia-Carolina game here
will the participants be numbered, but the prac-
tice will also be followed in the A. and NJ
Washington and Lee game at Norfolk thus
showing that unlike the captain OF the Yale
team, some football players have regard for the
public.

we shall come out right In the end.
This president OF ours. has been in office now
for nine months. and he has been working very
hard. with the most honest purpose in the world
with, as / believe no desire in his heart except
to the American people with the best of
his ability and he has accomplished great
deal.

SALARIES OF TEACHERS. AND
CLERKS IN THE CITY HALL

Editor Day Book:
| have been constant reader of
The Day Book for some months and
an occasional reader since it's incep-
ton, and have been an admirer of
your candor and fearlessness.
would like to call your attention to
condition that obtains in regard to
salaries in the municipal employ, viz,
the teachers and the clerical force in
the. City Hall.
A couple of days ago 1 saw in The
Day Book and couple of the other
papers a demand by the teachers for
an increase in salary. Are you aware
that young teacher, just commence
ing to teach, receives pay at the rate
of go cents an hour, and that by
force of seniority alone in limited
number of years receives pay of $1.25
an hour, or much more than the most
highly organized and technical labor
unions. Verify, in the face of this
demand, the praetorian guards of an
cient Rome had nothing on the
teaching force as exemplifed by it's
spokesman, the teachers federation.
Contrast the salaries of the mu-
nicipal clerical force-a. man enters
the service Nat wage of perhaps 80
cents an hour, and by EXAMINA-
TION and POLITICAL PRESSURE
in the course of ten years gets wage
of 55 cents an hour, beyond which
it is almost impossible to attain. It
NAV he urged that the teachers are
better educated than the clerks, but
l tell you that it is not so. Many of
the clerks are college graduates,
which is more than most of the grade
teachers are, and most clerks are
high school graduates. /. call your
attention to this condition, as 1 know
the ordinary trust papers would pay
no attention to it, and your hypocriti-
cal friends, "The Examiner" and
american" would be in favor of in
creasing the teachers, as those hys-

SMALLEST BEAST OF PREY.
It Is a True Weasel, but 10 Only About
Six inches Long.

II Is a True Weasel, but 10 Only About
Six inches Long.
The smallest carnivorOus animal In
the world is an American weasel which
Is numerous In northwest Canada and
Alaska and is occasionally seen about
the great lakes. 1t is true weasel,
but only six inches long. with tail
only one inch In length. All Its upper
surface Is In summer pure lumber
brown, but the throat, abdomen and
inside of the legs are pure white, and,
unlike any other weasel it has no black
at the end of the tail; hence, although
the animal turns white in the north In
winter, 1t does not show the black
tipped tail which characterizes an err
mine pelt, and so it is not sought by
trappers and fur traders.
This fact, with its small size and Sc
cretiye life, has made its habits very
little known, but they seem to be much
like those of other weasels. 1t feeds
on insects, which it finds alive in sum
mer and In winter digs out of rotter
logs: upon small birds, ETC., but live;
mainly on mice. THESE 1t can follow
