cling public today. Without legisla--
ton it would be years before these
dangerous cars were all retired from
service. Only one road has seen the
necessity for this sort of equipment
Some of the other roads are still in
vesting in new wooden cars, although
nearly all the new cars being built are
of steel.
The Pennsylvania learned about two
years ago that steel cars are cheaper
in the long run than personal injury
lawsuits. a fast train running be
tween Philadelphia and New York was
derailed while running at speed con-
siderably faster than a mile minute.
Had the train been composed of wood
en- cars it would have piled up and
crumbled when the trucks struck the
ties. But this was an entirely steel
train. It bounded along the ties for
a distance of a mile or more before
momentum was lost and the train
brought to q standstill. Among the
passengers there was not a single
serious injury. Most of the passen,
gers were entirely unhurt. Since then
the Pennsylvania has invested $4,000
900 in steel car equipment.
MINE-RESCTE AUTOMOBILE
Mine rescuing by automobile is the
latest of Uncle Sans improvements
The bureau of mines has just ordered
high-power car capable of making a
speed of so miles an hour over ordi
nary roads carrying IL rescue work
ers and their equipment of helmets
pulmoters and other apparatus. The
car is ordered as an experiment, but
it is believed that it will prove sue
cessful and that the rescue autos vii
row go changing through the mining
villages just as the fire department
and ambulances race through cities
! The experimental car will be, sent II

Birmingham is the center.
While it is not intended to supplan

use, it is thought that the AUTOMOBILE
can often render much quicker ali
than the railway car. There was ;
mining accident 40 miles from Pitts
burg recently, and the rescue car a

CLEAN LIVING,

Charles Durborow, Americas cham
pion long distance swimmer, is quoted
as saying thai clean living Is the best
training for the man who wishes to be
a swimmer Of championship quality
He might have gone further and saia
that clean living is the keynote of
success in any line of activity. Clean
living is a great promoter of good
health, both physical and moral, and
without it no athlete can hope to sue
coed. Not only are athletes who en-
gage in important contests required
to be careful about what they eat and
drink, but what they do. They can
not, for instance, stay out late at
night and carouse with cronies. They
cannot engage in any form of dissipa-
ton and must be in their beds at an
early hour every night. II they do
not adhere TO every rule Of clean liv-
ing they will find themselves out
stripped in whatever they undertake
by men who do. and are therefore
dUlt 10 dbLd!u Nut ptSt pOSSiDAG ply-
steal condition.
} So it is with men who are not ath-
Ietes. Clean living inspires confidence
in the men with whom you do bust
ness. 1t is generally the fact that the
man who lives a clean life is the man
who is honest with those with whom
he comes in contact, and may be de-
pended upon to do as he agrees and
not TO misrepresent that in which he
| deals Clean lives on the part of en-
/ ployes inspire confidence in employ.
ers and put the men who live them in
/ line for promotions which no sane
business man would ever give to men
addicted to dissipation.
/ II is the man who lives clean life
that is reliable az all times. and It is
this man who sooner or later gets his
reward in the form OF success in what
ever line Of activity he may be en-
| gagged.

nounced that the interstate commerce
commission will provide a new form
of report for railroads 10 make-one
which will show the exact number of
steel and wooden cars owned and in
operation by each road. II this in
formation can be collected quickly, the
national legislature will have the data
on which to base legislation to be
passed during the regular session next

Figures from private sources, how
ever, are available, and they show that
the use of the steel car has hardly
yet begun. Practically 80 per cent OF
all railway passenger coaches today
are Of wood construction, ready to
splinter and collapse in each wreck.
Of more than $1,000 passenger coaches
operated on all railroads of the coun-
try, only $500 are built entirely of

ROCK ISLAND FOR PROGRESS.

Rock Island has once more regis

vote OF the people. Never in its his
tory has Rock Island failed to come
forward for public improvements. The
booster spirit is Away alive here, and
public spirit never fails to respond to
appeal

the line of progress and advancement

ment of the Rock river bridges, and
the desire for municipal ownership of
another park, one to be devoted to
athletic field, playground and baseball
and foot ball purposes, all were ap-
proved by the people The most pro-
nounced fight was over the last named
proposition, due largely, it Is believed,
TO misapprehension as to how much
land comprised the tract, as we'll as
the main uses to which it is to be
put.
The surprise of the election is found
In the fact that under any circum-
stances there should have been any
opposition to annexation, and this can
be construed in but one light;
that it came from prejudice, not 20
this specific proposition, but to the
idea Of accomplishing anything I'M
der the present form of government.
Regardless of how i'll advised such a
course may be on its face, it is graft.
flying to know that it did not prevail,
and that the people, always to be re-

Rock Island.
Had the projects failed Rock
Island would have been set back q
dozen years, for taken separately as
we'll as in their entirety, the PROPOSE
tons involved the essentials to Rock
Islands present day welfare and fu-
ture growth.
The vote proved much larger than
many anticipated, although less than
half the normal on important political
elections. The fact that the women
had their first privileges of exercising
the right OF franchise was significant
feature, as is the fact that for the
most part they voted atfirmatively on
the various propositions, although
considerable opposition among them
developed toward the park purchase.

THE GOOD ROADS EPIDEMIC.

Good roads movements have become
sort OF epidemic in the middle west.
Wisconsin has passed a new batch Of
laws which enable even the smallest
village TO improve its roads. There
the village pays q third, the county a
third and the state third. This will
go far toward making It easy TO get
to town in Wisconsin. In Michigan
the fever has completely possessed
the state. Around the western part OF
the state. where some of the roads
have been famously bad, Improvement

to show form. A noticeable feature
Of the improvement is the demand for
permanent improvement.

THE MAN BEHIND THE LABEL

II the candidates OF the various par
ties in this state in the election next
year do not measure up to the popular
idea Of the requirements necessary
for good service there will be a small
vote at the polls in November.
II the democrats nominate the right
kind OF men for Office they will sue
coed in electing them.
. Party labels are not going to win
success as they have so frequently
done heretofore.
There is bright prospect for a
splendid democratic victory in Illinois
next year. but it will not be secured
by party label.
Il is the men behind the label that
give any party the advantage.

this fact in mind and nominate cap
