Last evening a crowded street car accidentally stopped on the near aide of a crossing Immediately the fact was commented upon by a majority of the occupants of the car the being made emphatically that all street cars ought to atop on the near crossings on the paved streets The suggestion is not a new one to Rapids The Gazette has made repeatedly and hundreds of citizens have voiced their approval Even the officers of the street car company have intimated that they believed stopping the cars on the near ngs would be a good thing Tho general opinion is that a change in the rule in vogue in Cedar Rapids would mean less danger of accidents Other cities have found the change agreeable and much safer than the stop The local street car companies should voluntarily put the stop rule into effect If they fall to do so the city council should make it mandatory FITCH George Fitch the Illinois journalist and humorist who speaks tonight In the Interest of progressive politics Is well known to Gazette readers through tho sketches which have appeared dally on this page for several months There are few writers whose contributions are eo widely read as are those of Mr Fitch He is a real humorist be- cause with his humor there Is a fund of truth and homely philosophy which appeals to the common sense of the Mr Fitch has won a name a place for himself among can authors Gazette hopes by the way that tne present visit of Fitch to dnr will have the effect of in- AUTO ACCIDENTS It la not in the least an exaggeration to say that auto accidents have occurred In southwest Iowa In the last en days Practically every local per on tha exchange list of the Non- larell recorded from one to three In heir own Immediate locality in this Issue Most of these occurrences were due to lack of precaution and fast driving In one case It was a collision on the top of a hill where neither driver could see the other car until they were too close to prevent violent contact and considerable damage In another case It was trying to turn a corner at a clip It couldn't be done The inevitable happened Car was wrecked occupants seriously hurt In several cases cara went Into ditches In others horses were frightened and did much damage Clearly there is need of tic regularities and more specific of rights and wrongs In these matters There Is altogether too much reckless driving Cara are Idly increasing in number and the number of dead and wounded will wise Increase If no way Is fouad to curb and restrict those who will not wisely govern themselves in driving cars and observing the rules of tha road as well as rules of common sense The man who attempts to turn a cor- ner at a forty-mile pace ought to be debarred from running a machine for ten years The situation demands drastic Bluffs Nonpareil Company Masonic Temple by the Barnes republicans against Governor Sulzer The latter was elected governor less than a year ago Tha moment he assumed office he set out to be governor In his own right He refused to he dictated to by Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall Of course Murphy didn't like to have his political authority questioned so set out to put the governor out of commission The battle is waging furiously The ernor has put up a game and the Murphy crowd is fighting Just as gamely The governor charges the with looting the state treasury with a system of politics so rotton that it makes the

to Mr suggesting that a former lowan who la writing about prominent cities shouldn't overlook Cedar Rapids that despite the fact that he Fitch 13 a member of the Illinois legislature the people of Cedar Rapids seemed to like and that they would welcome an together truthful write-up of the greatest its aide of the New Jerusalem Mr Fitch replied In the following characteristic Dear Brother It has taken me these last two werks to figure out a good excuse for not having written about that great famous and gether meritorious city of Cedar ids I onco lived In lorra myself which should prove to you knowing the habits of lowans that some day Cedar Rapids will get all thai is coming to her as far as 1 am concerned The real reason why I have not thus far written about your beautiful little for heaven's Bake I beg your metropolis is because I am not yet convinced In my own mind whether such delicate attentions on my part constitute a boost or an attack 1 have received many letters from Indignant mayors and commercial cluba Inviting me kindly to get off the earth because of what I considered to be exceedingly gracious ana beneficial remarks ahout their towns This has made me a tle about writing up the towns for which I have real affection I of other days angels But look that like white-robed doesn't disturb Murphy The Tammany chief gives his orders to his henchmen in the legislature and the henchmen do his bidding And BOBS Barnes controls enough republicans so that tho ernor can nothing through the legislature none of his appointments are confirmed The battle is costing the pretty penny But it IB costing them a great deal less than If the governor followed the bidding of Murphy No money Is ever wasted that is used fighting ical bossism and those are tne things which Murphy and Barnes represent Every citizen In New York or any other state who believes In good win applaud Sulzer who is FOUR BIG LOTS i Your unrestricted choice of any oxford or pump in

THE FOR WOMEN According to the fashion ments waistcoats for women are com- ing in with the fall styles They are not to be women's waistcoats that is waistcoats cut and made along nine lines They are to be real coats men's waistcoats And they are to be worn like men's waistcoats Un- der the waistcoat will be a waist above it will be a wide lace or em- broidered collar The waistcoat will be cut low almost as low as a man's dress waistcoat and over It but well open In front will be worn a sack coat If the waistcoat Is white and the coat is dark the costume will be very neat and attractive A gold watch chain of he old style will be festooned from upper to upper pocket and caught up n one of the buttonholes Among men It Is not at likely that here will be the objection to his Innovation Quite the contrary Men have always been partial to waistcoats and mias them greatly In he summer time when they wear soft shirts and belts For days after a man dispenses with his vest he does not know where to put things The regulation vest has four pockets and o deprive a man of four pockets at one bound Is cutting him out of ila clothes closet and bureau drawers n order to make a house party com- A man carries his pencils his tain pen his card Index his mileage its memoranda his pocket comb ball tickets reserved seat checks a calendar a time table addresses of his golf club locker key his watch and almost invariably his small change in his waistcoat pockets In addition to all these he carries if a married man all the small his wife cannot get Into her purse or bag and a very large part of his time is spent in looking in one waistcoat pocket for things he Is carrying for her In one of the other three waistcoat pockets Now if women In general wear waistcoats from and after next fall they will find the four ets just as convenient as men have found them Sometimes men of go to extremes In using their coat pockets as depositories for portables and women often rebuke them for doing so Whether women will be more careful in this re- spect and stop short of the pockets remains to be seen An- other thing that remains to be seen Is how long It take them to ber to transfer the contents of the pockets from one to another when they make a Science Monitor Sarcophagus Dealer Is a Quality The nuisance Is said to cost Chicago near yearly HOW FAT FOLKS GET EATING CANDY VACUUM CLEANERS The
