FOLK WOULD DO.


Just now Mr. Folks political future is something Of
topic with many persons and numerous publications.
The Kansas City Journal has this TO say: 1T is only
natural that the beode investigation which is the
matter OF chief public interest in Missouri should lead
to speculation its eecI the political fortunes
OF Mr.. Joseph W. Folk of St Louis" And in the
course OF discussion the Journal adds: 1T may be
that the body Of the voters viii force Mr.. Folks
iIation"
In assuming that the body Of the voters will con-
troll nOminaonto this extent at least the Journal is
correct. The Democrats of Missouri viii DOM
mating influence. The politicians will bend to the
peoples Will. Whether Mr.. Folk shall be the choice
is difficult at this time to predict with any degree
certainty. That depends upon many considerations
and In no small measure that gentleman himself.
During the twenty-eight months Of his public serv-
ice no man has been so conspicuously in the fore
ground Of publicity and the same time so conspicu-
ousy out of politics He has confined himself to his
knitting, not altogether in silent manner but with
out the least show Of interest for political affairs
Such things he has uttered have been germane to
his work, and, whether intended or not have GER
tanly tended TO stimulate beneficial public interest
in the grave business Of uprooting Doodle As
quence the people Of Missouri have centered attention
upon the individual chiefly prosecutor and
ly at all as politician.
One fact seems reasonably certain Doodle will be
an Issue, II not the main ISSUE in the campaign. The
Republican leaders bent upon emphasizing that
ISSUE notwithstanding the notorious Republican Doodle
record, and Democrats display no reluctance. 1t is
therefore safe 10 say that the Democratic party will
choose Its weapons accordingly and make The fight

Democratic reply. And IN order prove to the voter
Its capacity for such selfregeneraton as seems neces
sary the Democratic party must hold forth men of

Perhaps no one better perceiyes the force of this

TINE AND ITS CHANGES.

Telegraphic advices from Bnghamton y. Y. re-
port that Bishop FizGcrald OF St Louis has just de-
feated the champion chess player of that city in a
private tournament during the progress of the WyO-
ming Methodist Conference, which Bishop Fitz-
Gerald presided.
Only the day before this news came to were
Informed here in st. Louis that by n happy coin
cidence presumably. the meeting of the local Baptist
Ministers Association stood adjourned during the
passing OF circus street parade 1t does appear
that conventional motion was adopted TO the effect
that the meeting adjourn in order that the cergymen
might witness the parade but the fact adjournment
is stated.
There was time when such incidents these
might have caused dsapprova in strict church circles
The mere idea of a Methodist divine engaging in a
chess tournament. and especially when church con-
ference under way and he was the presiding Of
hcer Of that conference would have been treated
something worse than frivclity.
Similarly would the spectacle of q gathering Of
Baptist cergymen nierrupting their weekly meeting
in order to look at passing circus parade have
aroused doubt as to spiritual consistency
But those were the mistaken days when the ex-
rreme precsions took their religion in a way make

the fairness Of this earth which was the work OF his
hands They declined to be cheerful and happy here
below. seeming 10 think that their heavenly Father
preferred to see them woebegone and miserable in
spite Of all he had done for them.
How wholesome and and God-loving is the
changed spirit which better discrlmnates and now
encourages rational enjoyment OF the good things
