ing 10 the mood of the people, but upon
the efficiency of the permanent organ

the capa bilttics of the head admins

That only skilled men. who thoroughly
know their business, can properly adj
minister a city-or any other business.
That the best charter Is the one which
affords the widest opportunities for OBJ
tanning the hest men. and the most
efficient means for utilizing their capa-
bilities
How does our Richmond charter
measure up with these requirements?
You have now lived two years under
its operation; ask yourselves if it af-
fords, not the most certain means, but
even the barcst possibility, of obtain

administration of our city. The essen
tial defect of our present charter is
that it Will never provide the best men.

USED OYSTER CAN
TO PUT OUT FIRE

Fire companies Nos. 3 and 4 an
swered an urgent call to Eighth street
and Norfolk yesterday afternoon at
4:25 o'clock, but the flames were ex-
tlnguished when they arrived. a
four-room cottage belonging to J..
Green and occupied by w. Sorsenman,
caught on fire from a small two-eyed
gas hot plate which was sitting on
the floor and being used to heat
smoothing irons.
A hole about four feet in diameter
was burned In the floor, damaging the
property to the amount OF S25. The
house, worth $1,000, was insured, but
the furnishings endangered were not.
The house was outside the paving
limit and one Of the machines en-
countered great difficulty in fordlng
the mud. The last vestige Of the
flame was extinguished by one OF the
4 boys using Il bucket of water
and an oyster can.
