THE OCTOBER DEATH HARVEST.

The record of automobile accidents
for the month of October is recon-
mended TO those who drive machines
and especially recommended to those
who are entrusted with enforcement of
the traffic regulations to be read and
digested.
Grade railway crossings are ac-
knowledgly dangerous; out only four
persons were killed on railroad cross
ings in October against eighteen on the
highways.
Six hundred forty eight people were
injured in 499 accidents which included
no fatalities.
A railway wreck in which eighteen
people lost their lives and 64S were in
jured would be story of calamity &c
be flashed around the world az fast
as the wires could speed it, Demand
would be universal for Investigation
and reform Of conditions leading to it,
And when it was finally decided that
the death list and the long list Of in
jured came thru disregard OF legal reg
uiations by trainmen and engine
drivers and neglect of sworn and paid
public officers TO enforce the law the
demand for the official heads Of those
responsible would be too strong to re-
sisr
Ignorance and disregard Of the stat
utes and ordinances governing oper-
alton of autos on streets and highways
on the part of autoists, neglect and
disregard of their duties of law en-
forcement by officials are responsible
for a great part Of the startling list Of
death and injury thru automobiles in
October.
The worst of it is that It was avoid
able and unnecessary. The automobile
regulations can be enforced. Deter
mined and continued action on the
part Of officers and courts would make
fatal accidents as infrequent as they
are common in Iowa.

RED CROSS WORK At HOME,

There Is something stirring IN the
thought Of Red Cross work where war
mows down its victims. Somehow an
appeal for the cold and hungry chill
dren Of Belgium touches deeply where
the sufferings Of those close by some
times fails 10 get below the surface.
But work on the battlefields
and in the hospitals loses its
glarnor and becomes what it Is at close
hand, hard labor among the scents and
sufferings OF human slaughterhouses.
The Belgians at close hand are simply
squalid, starvation ridden people like
squahd and starved children at home.
Starvation is starvation and sickne ss
and hopelessness Is hopelessness all
over the world.
We have been generous to Europe in
her madness. We have sent shipIoads
OF ard in money and materials to the
hurt and the hungry, have sent men
and women with pity and healing in
pitfalls. And we shall do more in duty
and in pity.
But there is Red Cross work to do
at home. The winter that is coming
on is going TO be hard winter on the
poor. A hungry child in Iowa is al
hungry as in Belgium. Cold gnaws at
the flesh here with the same bitterness
az afar. Sickness and helplessness ar.
are same one place as another. So il
duty. So IL pity. So is charity. Ant
the help and human Kindness tina
spends itself in the home town upol
suffarino 50 90 true and runrf1y and al

call Of the stricken across an ocean.

MRS. MOORE SPEAKS FOR mEReolcu.

Mrs. NJ. H. Moore, of Marshalltopn
Is interested as shareholder in the
Idaho project with Mr. Meredith and
others which has been the object of
attack by the supporters of Mr.. Hard
ing in an effort to discredit Meredith
as candidate and business man. Mrs
Moore, who is the widow of NJ. H.
Moore. father of A. A. Moore of this
city, brought the following Endorsement
of Mr.. Meredith to the Times Republic
can this morning:
Editor Times-Republican. In regard
TO the Idaho land deal, of which Mr..
Meredith's opponents are trying to
make so much capital, | would like to
say that l am interested in the same
project 10 the extent of twenty acres,
and in all the dealings in relation to
it, l have found Mr.. Meredith always
the same, square and honorable, and
would therefore consider him most
safe man to vote for had l the privilege,
and sincerely hope he may be our next
governor.
Mrs. NJ. H Moore, Marshalltown
Iowa.
The Times Republican shares regret
that Mrs. Moore has not the privilege
to vote for the man whom she con-
siders safe and who she has found al
ways square and honorable, a regret
sharpened by the knowledge that the
electorate whence she and women like
her are excluded includes others whose
interest Is not for better and more bust
nesslike government.
Mrs. Moore with her Endorsement Of
of Mr.. Meredith as square and honor
able is simply adding her good word to
that of Meredith's neighbors and bust
ness competitors and business men of
the state who know him. Her GER
tiicate Of character squares with those
given him unasked by the newspapers
of his city, his business associates, by
judges of the supreme court and with !
them is in marked distinction from the |
frantic assaults of liquor trade jour-
nails and the jealous untruthfulness of |
a disappointed competitive publisher.

THE FINAL LINE UP.
Tf.Ii5dep Eraphic.l

Manning Monitor: At regular
meeting of the Manning Liberal League
which took place at the Five Mile house
Sunday, Oct Is, it was UNANIMOUSLY
decided TO indorse the following canai-
dates: For governor, w. L. Harding
for secretary of state, w. j. Soth; ior
treasurer of state, H. P. Hansen oi
Manning: for representative from car
roll county, Douglas Rogers OF Man
ming, and for representative from
Crawford county, John Hagge Of west
Side.
The above is but one of the hundred
incidents that might be cited to SHOW
that, whether Harding is boosting
booze or not, booze is boosting Hard
ing-unitedly and unreservediy, Whoie
heartedly and in a non bipartisan man
ner. If Harding does not boost oooze
when he gets into the governors cnalr
he will not be true to his best TRENDS
The Graphic Is unable to under-
stand why there should be any doubt
of the liquor issue in this campaign.
A multitude of facts have proven con-
clusively that Harding is the booze
candidate Very few attempt to deny
it. Therefore we have only the foi-
lowing recomm en- dation to make 'at the
close of this most turbulent campaign:
II you favor the return Of the saloon
in Iowa and generally class yourself
as wet, vote for Harding; he's your
best friend
The Graphic joins in the general
rejoicing that Is everywhere manifest
that this campaign is now near close
and sincerely hopes It may never i've
to see another like 1t. Being unable
to endorse the republican gubernator-
ial candidate it recommends no man
for governor preferring to let its read'
ers use their own Judgment. II tne

Why Thick ola,.e. Break Easily.

Thin glasses do not crack SO easily
as thick glasses when you pour hot
water into them. This is because the
heat penetrates the thin glass SO quick
~ as to heat all parts Of 1t equally,
and they hold together In the expap4
sion which occurs. When hot water
is poured into thick glass the par
ticles forming the inside of the glass
begin to expand before the heat has
penetrated to the outside of the glass,
ind In the effort to expand the inside
particles Of the glass break away
from the particles Of the outer side,
thereby causing the crack.
