A WORTHY CAUSE.

A union meeting at the NJ. E. church
Sunday night was addressed by Rev.
Charles Parsons of Des Moines, SUI
perintendent of the Iowa Society for
the Friendless.
The subject Of the address was
some of the causes of failure which
land men in prison and how to pre-
vent them. 1t was practical dis
cussion of some of the weaknesses OF
society as it exists today. ....
Mr.. Parsons is quite familiar with
jail and prison conditions in Iowa,
and has an extended acquaintance
with the prison population. His ad-
dress was based on experience rath-
er than theory, which makes his con-
clusions the more valuable.
One of the best things about the
work of the Society for the Friendless
is that it's workers take hold Of some
of the least promising men coming
from prison and stay by them until
they become established in useful
ness and are good citizens.
Among those under Mr.. Parsons
care on parols are men up to seven
ty years Of age. The majority Of these
are making good.
Supt. Parsons also preached at the
Baptist church Sunday morning and
addressed DR.. Dittmers Bible class at
the M. E.. Sunday school.
On Monday he gave an address at
the High school.

OCTOBER 9TH FIRE PREVENTION
nAY ~, s.

Ole o. Roe. state fire marshal, is
urging the people OF Iowa to take
greater precaution. regarding fires
which destroy thousands of dollars
worth Of PROPERTY each year. Mon
day October 9Th, 1916, has been pro-
claimed by the Governor Of Iowa, as
fire Prevention day.. The proclama-
ton says in part:
There were $3.50 fires reported to
the State Fire Marshal for 1915,-more
than ten fires every day, causing a
daily loss of $16,457 90, and involving
daily property worth T0,716.0O. 1t
clearly appears that practically one
third Of these fires were due to care
lessness. 1t is quite possible that
many more Of them were. These at
least, should be preventible. There is
no reason why large numbers Of fire
should be occasioned by careless
handling of matches, candles, lamps
oil, gasoline, by bonfires, by burning
of brush and leaves, by defective flues
stove-pipes, wiring, by smokers, by
rags and clothing nea. stove-pipes, by
ashes and many other ways, destroy

may be prevented as Possible, II ds

With the opening of the public and

education in the reconstruction of
school buildings with view to an
adequate and constant supply of
fresh aid to the scholars during school
hours. Teachers very generally have
acquainted themselves with those
simple methods by which, in the OBJ

BY ATTACKING NOMINEE.
STRONG RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED

On Record US Endorsing Z. 7.
Meredith for Governor,

Despite efforts of friends of Lieut.
Gov. W. L. Harding to prevent a
vote on resolutions affecting the gu
bernatorial campaign in Iowa, the
Upper Iowa conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church on Monday,
accepted the report Of the committee
on political affairs, which denounced
the republican nominee as being the
candidate of the liquor interests.
The resolutions adopted by the
ministers in attendance at the con-
ference are as follows:
"Be it resolved, That the record of
the present candidate for governor of
the republican party both as a leg
islator and as presiding officer has
been so consistent, persistent and con-
tinuous in its hostility to temperance
that there is not and never has been
any question as to where he stood on
the prohibition question.
Because his record is well known
and undisputed we are convinced that
his election would be accepted every
where as victory for the liquor in
terests. @
Therefore. be it resolved, That we,
as ministers Of the truth, members
OF the Upper Iowa annual conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
would be traitors to our trust if we
kept silence and unworthy successors
to the prophets Of old, If we did not
frankly and openly condemn the can
didacy of the nominee"
The laymen Of the Upper Iowa con-
ference at meeting held last Sat-
urday adopted the following resolu-
tions:
Whereas, E. T. Meredith has Ia
ken stand for prohibition and pledg-
es to do all in his power to
further the suppression of the liq-
uor traffic, and that his advocacy Of
the cause should be supported
Therefore, Be it resolved, that the
laymen of the Upper Iowa Methodist
Episcopal conference should support
his candidacy for governor.
THE section referring to Harding
read as follows: IN,
Whereas: It is evident that there
is candidate for governor whose leg
islative record clearly shows that ne
has not been instrumental in further
ing the cause fo prohibition, and that
we believe that his election would un-
do the work of suppressing the liquor
traffic, we further urge the election
of Mr.. Meredith"
