MANY ACCIDENTS IN YEAR
Anneals to Drivers to Reduce Number

The following letter has been ad-
dressed to the public by Fairfax Har-
rison. president of Southern Railway
Company:
The automobile has greatly in
creased the comfort and convenience
of life, and it has been an important
factor in the improvement of country
highways and SO has contributed TO
the progress of civilization OF our

automobile has introduced new social

time suffered as sacrifice on the altar
of Democracy before becoming Senator:
Four times he was candidate for the
New Jersey assembly.
Four times he was candidate Tor
the New Jersey senate.
Four times he was a candidate for
Congress.
Three times he was a candidate for
governor of New Jersey. once a candi-
date for mayor of Plaintield, and. finally.
he climaxed the record by running Tor
sheriff of the county.
Do you think these seventeen defeats
daunted the patriotic ambition or de-
creased the political activity of Senator
MARITIME? ,
The answer is that he became candii d
date for the United States Senate ana
finally achieved a success that gave MN
national prominence.
How 1t Came About.
When New Jersey decided to elect its
Senators by popular vote the action was
taken largely through the influence ana
instrumentality of Mr.. MARITIME. VINO stood
firmly with the people i'll that partlcuIa,

enthusiasm and strenuosity. In tne re-
nlarkably short time of four days he Sc

him a candidate. which was twice the
number required by the Senatorial pri-
mary law. hurried and vigorous can

McDermitt in the primary This MI.
MARITIME succeeded in doing by a majority
of 30 600 votes which was one OF the most
startling and at the same time one OF the
most popular political victories ever
achieved by any man of prominence in
the State of New Jersey.
When II came time for the legislature
to confirm the choice OF the people in the
primaries and officially name Mr.. MARITIME
Senator, that body was found to be re-
calcitrant: II endeavored to ignore the
law and disregard the wishes of the peo-
pie as expressed in the primaries For a
while II seemed that Mr.. MARITIME would
be defeated for the eighteenth time. but
President Wilson. then governor Of the
State took a firm hand in the fight and

Help Them Toward Living
Better Life.
INDIVIDUAL COMES FIRST
Then Comes the Community and
Finally the Nation in Its Effort
for Better World.
INDIVIDUAL COMES FIRST

The great need for the moral and
spiritual advancement of the capital
of the United States is the same as
that of every other community in
this great country. namely. the moral
and spiritual uplift of every indivi-
dual citizen.
No work of reform-no moral ad-
vancement can ever prove a lasting
success which does not begin with
the individual. 1t is the old story Of
the little leaven. which in time will
leaven the whole lump: First the
individual. then the community. finally
the nation.
This is the method employed by
the Christian Science church. Its work
always has been with the individual
and our plan for the future is to
continue along this line until every
individual has been lifted out Of all
the discordant and sinful conditions
which fetter mankind into the "glor-
ious liberty of the sons of God"
In order to attain this harmonious
condition the unity which the Master
taught exists between man and his
Maker must be proven by daily liv-
ing Mankind needs to learn what
is Gods will and then do 1t. Thy
will. not mine be done" should be
the prayer and endeavor Of every
man, woman and child.
Would Advance Human Race.
Such a prayer put into life practice
would soon advance the human race far
beyond the most optimistic expectations.
If mankind would put one-half tho en-
ergy into doing the will OF God as taught
and demonstrated by Christ Jesus-that
is. put into the struggle for material
pleasure and success, men would not, as
Mrs Eddy has written in Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures. 'go
on from bad to worse until disciplined by
the prison and the scaffold: but the
whole human family would be redeemed
through the merits Of Christ-through the
perception and acceptance of Truth"

truth shall make, you free" said Jesus.

ience Of having a good highway near
your home. forget all about those
things. and think simply of the econ
omc proposition; the farmers of Ohio
cannot afford not to build better high
ways in this State because 1t is simply
a matter Sof dollars and cents. We
cannot afford to go on losing four
million dollars year through i'm
perfect means of communication.
My fellow countrymen, do you know
that highways are the granite hier-
oglyphics in which are written the
story of the progress of the world ?
No nation ever permanently succeed
ed unless it had improved methods
Of trade and transportation. To this
very hour the great highways built
by the Romans, the highways that
have been shaken by the tread of the
armies of Caesar and of Hannibal. the
great highways over which flowed the
commerce of fifteen hundred to two
thousand years ago. these highways
are yet practically intact, the mute
monuments of the progress of a
mighty people. And SO it should be
with US as We improve our methods
of transportation. AS we make poss,-
BILE the interchange of traffic and the
transportation Of our people, by so
much shall We make possible the ad-
vancing civilization of a mighty. free
people.
Personally. I am extremely happy at
the opportunity this occasion affords
me to express my abiding interest in
the question of good roads, not only
in the building of them. but in the
maintenance and repair of them. Thai
is where We have made a mistake in
Ohio. We have spent millions of dol
lars in building roads: we have failed
to keep them in repair. Build good
roads. maintain them, keep them
IN good shape. and by so doing, not
only will you have solved a great
economic problem, but you will have
written forever In the story Of the
earth the epic that tells of the prog
ress Of mighty civilization.
In conclusion I want to say that I
am very proud of this expression of
interest in the Lincoln Highway by
the people Of my old county and COM
munity and town. It is with very
singular emotion that I come back to
you. I have never been in any sort
of struggle for the right but what I
knew that the hope. yea. and the
prayers of the good people of Ada
and vicinity were with me in the hope
that the right might win. For the
many expressions that have come to
me of your confidence and good will.
l am profoundly grateful. and I trust
that the same zeal and earnestness
that have characterized your conduct
will be manifested in the efforts that
we shall all put forth to boom Ohio
Northern University. to boom the Lin
coin Highway, and to make for a
greater and grander and bigger Ohio
thank you.

WITHOUT seeking to avoid just re-

from pure love OF excitement ana

and seeking the thrill of a narrow es-

are without fatal consequences in the
great majority of cases, they are al

That interest. enthusiasm and energy
which triply distinguished Senator Mar

political defeats was not east aside when
he finally achieved successful distinction
as Senator. Since entering the great

tor MARITIME has been a very useful man
indeed. Recognizing his rare ability the
Senatorial powers gladly and quickly

To conscientiously discharge the multi

upon him as a member of these leading
