Duty First.

The decision Of Joseph w. Folk
to cancel most Of his engage
ments to deliver speeches this
fall and devote his entire atten.
ton to the work of prosecuting
DoOdlcrs, in which he is now on
gagged, viii meet general ap-
proval on the part Of the people,
however anxious they may be to
SEQ him and hear him speak.
Mr.. Folk is right. If he stands
faithfully at his post and con.
tinues the work of pushing pros
ecutions in the future as he has
done in the past nothing can
stop his growing popularity with
the masses even though they are
denied the privilege Of meeting
him and hearing him discuss the
vital issues of the day. His de-
cisiOn to stand at his post Of
duty, in spite of pressing invita-,
tons to enter n campaign for the
Office Of Governor, is in keeping
with the character of the man,
and can not fail to win admira-
ton from all reasonable m0n.--

why Folk should be Governor.

WHY FOLK shOulu DC OOVcTtloE
The following extracts from
an editorial in q recent issue Of
the Richmond Review places JOS
eph W. Folk before the people OF
the state in exactly the light
| which fits the honest public
mind to-day;
"The State of Missouri is on
trial. The eyes of the world are
upon her. She has "a chance to
show that she is in earnest in
her efforts to punish the bride
givers and bride takers. The re
suit of the next election hinges
on this point. The democratic
party has been in power now for
Il number Of years. The repub-
leans have tried every trick and
artitice known to politics TO wrest
the control Of the state from
them. Abuse and SANDER, fair
means and foul have been re
sorted To but without effect.
"The recent scandals have
given them fresh material and
they are using it tO all the advan-
tagc they can. What the dcmoc-
racy must do is to nominate Il
man who can be relied upon to
continue the work of ferreting
out the criminals. There are
many men in Missouri who are
good gubcrnatorial timber at any
other line. This is an exceptional
case. It is now DO or die with
the democracy Of Missouri. 9th
er states look TO this for guidance
political and now we are stand
ing a test. We have always
prided ourselves on our sturdy
party and now we must do some
thing to keep up our past rec
ord. What we want is d man
whom We know can do the duty
imposed upon him.
"Missouri has no dearth of
great and good men. They are
abundant but she has only one
Folk. Tho other candidates are
worthy to be governor but a man
who has been tried and found
tru" is the one needed on this
occasion. To the defeated ones
we say, despair not. The star Of
hope still shines brightly. There
will be other times 10 elect gov
crnOr and then is your chance.
The state Of Missouri is on trial
and your ambitions must rot be
the cause Of a conviction on hung
jury, Duty boioro personal pref,
erenccs. With Folk she will pass
the test and retain her place at
the head OF the commemorative
Of the nation"

dollars of the stock has been subscribed
at par by those who have been interested
in the organization of the company, and
Mr.. Mclean is to subscribe for $780, 600.
The total capital stock Is $4,000. and it
is expected by the sale of stock and the
issue Of bonds to bring the available cash
up. to $4O0.0oO which. it is estimated, will
be required to construct an electric road
from the Georgetown end of the Aqueduct
bridge along the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac to Great Falls distance Of thirteen
or fourteen miles.

More Mills Needed.

Mr.. F. B. Smith, prominent contractor
of Providence. r. l.. who is a guest at the
Ebbitt House, said to Star man that
"weavers, spiuners and shoemakers readily
find a job In that section of the country.
There are now number Of mills in opera
ton. and have put in bid for the con-
strucion OF two large ones outside of the
city limits. one to be built this spring and
the other to be completed not after the last
Of October.
The output of the combined interests of
this state Is not adequate to meet the de-
mand, hence the necessity for more mills
and more men to work them. Quite an in
terestfng fact that L learned from one of
the mill owners was that a great part of the
fabrics and shoes that he made were ship
ped to Europe and Central and South Amer
ica."

PUBLIC MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Will Probably Be Held When Gov
Shepherds Body Arrives.

When the body of Alexander R. Shepherd,
former governor Of the District of Column
bia, is brought back for final interment
from Mexico, where he died, there will
likely be a public memorial meeting in
Washington. The temporary resting place
of Gov. Shepherd is at Batopilas, in the
heart of the Sierra Madre mountains, Mex
ico 1t is expected the body will arrive
here in the near future, although the ex-
act date is not known.
LAS soon as I am informed officially of
the date of arrival I will bring the matter
to the attention Of my associates, with a
recommendation that suitable exercises in
memory of Gov. Shepherd be planned"
Commissioner Mcfarland said today
1t is not unlikely that the day of the
public Services will be marked by the clos
ing Of the various departments Of the Dis
trict government. Gov. Shepherd died Sep
TENDER IL. The body was buried at Batop-
Has on the morning Of September 10.
Thomas Shepherd. brother of the late
Alexander Shepherd, employed in the
health Office at the District building, stated
today that his understanding of the ar
rangement in progress at Batopilas for
bringing Governor Shepherds remains to
this city is that the start will be made
about April /. 1t will require about two
weeks to get out of the Chihuahua Noun
tains. A single person riding on mule back
can get out in six days, but a caravan
necessarily must move slower. The body
should arrive in Washington the first week
in May.
When seen this afternoon DR.. W. P.
Young and Mr.. Edward A. Quintard
brother-in-law and son-in-law respectively
of the late governor, stated that they had
heard nothing as to the exact date the body
would be shipped, but personally are of
the opinion that it will reach this city

mains,

Growing Alfalfa Grass.

1.-THE perplexing question OF growing al

with much feeling by the farmers OF my
section" said Mr.. johnson Of Kentucky. a
prominent lawyer and farmer. to Star
man at the Ebbitt House. '1t has been very
successfully grown on the mountain sides
and some places within the blue grass dis
trict It rs ardently hoped that this expert
ment Will be CARRIED on by many next fall.
Alfalfa makes a better hay than the grass
that ds grown in the mountain districts, the
yield being also much heavier. In the west
it Ii grown to great advantage. paying
more to the acre than the best quality OF
hay grown dn the state OF Kentucky"
