SAFETY FIRST"

That's an excellent motto. The rail-
roads have accepted it. The factories
have adopted it.. 1t Is being urged In
every industrial and employees maya
zine. Safety first.
It is an excellent motto for business.
Safety first. Steady, sure, safe pro-
gress. Speculation has its charm. Men
are born gamblers. They incline to
take chance. Some Of them incline
to long chance for big stake. But
the long shot player rarely wins. The
real winner is the prudent man who
runs by the motto safety first He
isn't spectacular. He holds his speed,
safe speed subject only to the COM
mon chances Of the road. And he
lands his freight as consigned.
1t is a mighty good motto for
young man to paste In his hat, safety
first" Youth is inclined to contest
and to fast running. But the respon-
| sibility of youth is the responsibility
Of the engineer. He has the lives and
hopes and happiness Of others in his
care. He can't go in the ditch without
taking others with his. His folks are
always on his train. He carries freight
for his employer. He is responsible
for his equipment and for his very life
to others. He is responsible for OPP
portunity given him. He ought to run
safe, obey signals, make the most Of
his running time. speed UP on the
straight safe stretches, run carefully
over the grades and generally put
safety first.
It is a good motto for girls. Too
many are running wild and without
schedule. 1t is unsafe running about
town from dusk to midnight. Too much
speed and careless lookout are GER
tain to brink wreck. And she carries
! the hopes Of parents and family, the
possibilities of home and family Of
her own, the pride or shame Of her own
unborn children, freight OF such in
finite and amazing value that prudence
and caution are running orders al
ways. Run safe. Put the motto up
permost, Safety first
Safety first. Run by 1t. Handle your
lives by it. Take care Of your BUSH
ness, do your work, spend your wages,
protect your home by it. Its the finest
motto Of them all.

These and other notes and comment

Nineteen six is long way back.
We are making history and accom-
Fishing so much and so rapidly that
we haven't time to notice it as We go
along. The changes in progress are
perhaps not as elemental as those
which mark the period between the
Chicago booklet and the succeeding
half century but they are not less
numerous aud to their generation not
less important. It requires an old
booklet dug up from some file or found
in an attic to give US realization Of
the rapidity Of modern development
and to re- establish faith that the world
instead of standing still is working
faster and overtime.

A VERY BAD NElonsoR.

One feature Of the Mexican situa.
ton that IS likely to stir the average
American more than the killing OF
Benton or the atrocities of Huerta is
the threatened slaughter Of the son
Of General Terrazas unless his life is
purchased by an exorbitant ransom
For that is what it amounts to. If the
wealthy father does not raise the quar-
ter million demanded, the boy is to be
"sent south" as a prisoner, That has
come to mean in Mexico that he will
be shot down and reported as having
been killed while endeavoring to es-
cape, a convenient law making this
method Of assassination available in
Mexico. 1t seems to be the common
fashion Of the country federalist or
revolutionist.
Conditions IN Mexico are Of charac-
ter to make American blood boil at
times. The question is whether this
country is morally called upon to in
augurate years of guerilla warfare and
spend lives and blood and treasure.
For intervention amounts to practical
taking over Of Mexico by the United
States, the acceptance Of responsibility
for that ignorant and misguided coun-
try and the exercise Of the strong arm
in restoring order.
Mexico is a bad neighbor. She might
be worse as national ward. There is
no desire to amalgate that heterogen-
eous mass of mixed bloods with the
citizenship CT this country and add an
other color problem to the one already
sufficiently vexing and uncertain
Nevertheless if Villa continues in his
career of brigandage popular feeling rs
likely to be stirred to an extent that
viii make itself felt in Washington.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1914-03-07

Villa doesn't seem to understand the
difference between an executive and
an executioner.
Perhaps 1t would be on order to in
quire again with the best intention in
the world 'have you tested that seed
corn?"
One reason congressman inclines
to forget that anybody but himself and
few others live in his district is be-
cause the rest OF US let him hear from
US only once IN two years.
AS illustrating the difference be-
tween public and private interests
Huerta can hold a job as president
when he couldn't stay in seven min
utes as general manager of stock
company.
Isn't it about time that President
Wilson ended this suspense over
whether or not he means to stick to
that one term proposition?
Roosevelt hasn't anything on that
a boisterous welcome home again from
a foreign shore.
Now they are speaking Of Mr.. Marsh
of Waterloo as possible candidate fol
United States senator. It must be very
gratifying to be in such universal de.
mand and Mr.. Marsh is doubtless fully
appreciative tho he is keeping a silence
so deep that you couldn't reach the
bottom Of it with fish pole.

ident Wilson is that he can say wha

wuA1 the olo sooM sook TOLD.

Shortly before the civil war, some
time in the late. fifties the Chicago
Board of Trade issued boom booklet
descriptive Of the opportunities and
prosperous condition Of the growing
town on Lake Michigan. That was
shortly after the days when nine pio-
neers out OF ten had refused to trade
a pair OF oxen for the town site Of
Chicago. The other day some one
rurnraag ing in second hand book
store unearthed the ancient booklet.
It contained number Of reprinted news
paper clippings On the improvements
in progress and contemplated and fore
casted in the territory west OF Chi
cago. One Of the reprints noted that

In The Afternoon.

The afternoon of living has a beauty
all its own.
Tho the morning freshness fadeth and
the burning heat hath flown,
For tbs then the mellowed memory Of
the conflict and the strife
Casts shadow OF sweet resting on
the gentle hills Of life.
The spirits more than body, and the
finer things arise,
And our love Is holier loving and the
skies are sweeter skies.
And where action slowly dwindles, as
the sunshine from the beam,
There is such an added glory to the
music Of the dream.
