by expert inspectors before they
start out on their run, and at
numerous points along the line.
An extra man on the train would
not add any safeguard to this
inspection.
An extra man would in no way
lessen the number of accidents
to trainmen, as seventy-four per
cent of all accidents are due to
the employees own carelessness.
The more employees there are the
greater the chance for injury.
If an extra trainman is neces-
sary, the Public Service Commis-
sion has full power to enforce his
employment. Why not leave the
matter to themi They are intelli-
gent fair-minded men who are
paid by the State to investigate
such matters, and enforce their
rulings.
This same law has been defeated
in Massachusetts,, New York, Ohio,
Oklahoma, louisiana and Texas as
either unjust or unnecessary. Why
should Missouri find it otherwise?
To pass this law would add
100000 a year additional useless
burden on the railroads, which in
the end must be borne by the
general public.
If you were asked to vote an
appropriation to support in idle
ness or in useless labor, some
800 able-bodied men, your vote
would be overwhelmingly No.
Gentlemen, that's proposition No.

Read This Before You Vote

You are entitled to know the
facts regarding proposition No. 9,
so that you may vote intelligently
next Tuesday.
Proposition No. 9 concerns the
law requiring an extra trainman
on freight trains, of forty cars or
over, and on passenger trains OF
six cars or over.
AT present, through and local
freights are manned by an engineer,
fireman, a conductor and two
trainmen, one stationed on the
forward half of the train-the
other on the rear half. In case
of unexpected stops one of these
trainmen goes forward of the train
to act as fagman, the other goes
to the rear for the same purpose.
These men do not apply brakes
to moving train. All trains,
regardless of length or number of
cars, are controlled by air brakes
operated from either the engine
or caboose Of a freight, and from
the engine or any car of a passenger.
The work of these two trainmen
is no harder, or more dangerous
on a long train than on a short
one. AS matter of fact, from
all statistics available, there have
actually been fewer accidents on
long trains than on short ones.
There is absolutely no necessary
Or useful work third trainman
could do. 1t is not even claimed
that he is of any use on passenger
train, yet the law, if passed, will
require him to be there.
ALI trains are carefully inspected

egraphed in and almost at once word
is sent back to the nearest stations
and aid begins flowing in; or If the
disaster is extensive, the whole sys-
tenn is set to work Relief is immedi-
ate and sure. The San Francisco
earthquake and the Dayton food are
notable examples.
The efficiency Of the Society to
cope with varied conditions was
shown in China few years ago in
famine relief work. Instead OF dump
ing great quantities of rice and other
foodstuffs at the disposition of the
natives and feeding them in idleness
as was formerly done, work was
planned in street and other improve
ment and wages paid them, thus
doubling the good done. In the pres
ent European struggle dogs wearing
the emblem are being used to search
out the wounded who drag themselves
to places of concealment and who
would otherwise be lost. The Christ
mas seal is an example of an efficient
means of raising money.
Considering its record, is it surpris-
ing that the Red Cross Society has
been called the Worlds Good Samari-
tam Or, when we know that the
American Society has distributed
more than $6.o0O,000 since 1905,
should we wonder that it has gained
the name of being promptest and
most generous in relief work?

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY.

Truly, one of the greatest and most
effective organizations of today that
is working in the name of humanity
is the international Red Cross So
ciety. And standing at the head of
the list is the American Society.
It has been fifty-five years since M.
Henri Dunant, a distinguished citizen
of Geneva, Switzerland, was shocked
by the horrible condition of the
wounded on the battlefields of Magen-
ia and Solferino, Italy. He at once
wrote of the scenes he had witnessed
and proposed that groups of volun-
teers be gathered in all countries to
follow the armies and aid the surgeons
in caring for the wounded. In less
than five years Dunant saw his pro-
posal materialize into an interna-
tional organization with himself as
secretary. Now the red cross on a
white background is a worldwide
symbol of charity.
In America Miss Clara Barton led
the Red Cross movement, administer
ing to the wounded during the Civil
War. She gained lasting honor for
her activity in this country, and in
Europe during the siege of Paris. She
died in 1912, having served as presi-
dent of the American Society for sew
eral years.
The American Society was incor-
porated by Congress nine years ago
and its work is under Governmental
directions. The President is the e1-
officio head, though he has nothing to
do with raising money, etc. All the
National officers live in Washington.
In each state the head of the organiza-
ton is the governor. Local chap
ters are distributed throughout the
states. The object of association
in the United States is to aid in times
of pestilence, famine, fire, food, earth
quake or other calamities. Other ma
tions restrict the work to war times.
The American Society may well be
compared to the human nervous sys-
tenn. With the directing medium. or
head, in Washington, the nerves
spread in close network over the
states. Everywhere are selected COM
petent surgeons and nurses, ready at
all times to answer an emergency
call. There are 1000 such nurses in
this country. Every newspaper lends
its columns to the cause in money
raising and other campaigns. Rail-
roads and other corporations assist.
In fact. everybody helps, and it is
rarely that refusal is met as the re-
quest is usually urgent and the need
evident.
