Az THE contest for the Democratic
nomination for Governor Of Missouri
progresses the feeling in certain guar
ters becomes more and more bitter
Especially is this noticeable in the at
tacks on Joseph w. Folk. The friends
OF the other candidates appear tc
desire a personal warfare on the Cir.
cult Attorney. They accuse him OF
n%eglecting his official duties to run
for office; they don't make this claim
about any OF the other candidates,
however true it may be; they charge
him with being aJew, a ''grafter," a
man who is unqualified for the Office
OF Circuit Attorney, Sc, sc. All
sorts Of charges are made against Folk,
while no fight seems to be made on
any Of the other candidates for Gov
ernor. Now the people don't under
stand why this personal warfare is
being made on one Of the candidates
by some Of the friends of all the 9TH
ers. The rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party believe 10 being fair and
just and honest in a contest for the
digni6ed Office Of Governor OF Mis-
souri,. Is Folk incompetent? Is he a
''grafter?H Is be a Jew or a Baptist?
Folks record, public and private, is
al open book and speaks for itself. If
the writer is any judge of the temper
Of the people these attacks will prove
s9emerangs. They leave the impress

Comment Of Surgeons Auditor Not

Comment Of s%purgeon's Auditor Not
Very Surprising.
This story was told of the great
preacher Spurgeon, at the Lotos club
last week, when a group of members
we're discussing queer slips of the
tongue.
The late London pulpit orator was
In Liverpool and was aeiEed to-yisit q
mission house and reading room for
sailors. An audience of more than a
thousand salty sons of the sea were
There to greet him. With a silence
that showed their keenest interest
they listened as Mr.. Sturgeon, with
the dramatic %eloquence of which he
was a master, told them the story of
Jonah and the whale. He told how
Jonah was cast into the sea, how the
whale came along, and with great i'm
p~ressiveness, said:
"And Jonah swallowed the wholel"

Ir is very easy to criticise the Su-
preme Court. Those who know the
least about the law are most active
in indiscriminate criticism. Quite a
number are c~riticising the Supreme
Court for It's decision in the Bonner
case, which some claim reyerses de-
cislOns made by this court heretofore
Some are UNNECESSARILY disturbed in
reference TO this decision, which is 10
reference 50 "~information and indict.
ments'' In criminal cases. This de-
cision by the Supreme Court vii
cause no material trouble in legal
prosecutions In Missouri II will not
turn loose any convicted persons, and
not one In a hundred nov convicted
and awaiting trial will escape. The
lawyers OF Missouri, as a general prop
osition agree With the Supreme Court,
and thai is saying a great deal. Before
an intelligent criticism car be made
In reference 10 any matter those who
do the ~criticising should be thorough
ly informed. This seems TO be the ex-
ceptlon instead Of the rule where
actions Of the Supreme Court Of Mis-
souri, are concerned. Members OF the
Supreme Court are human, and are
liable 70 err, at the same time the
court is composed OF such a class Of
men that their decisions should be
credited with being honest, and are
made after careful, conscientious con-
sideratlon Of the points submitted TO
them. The habit OF jumping on the
Supreme Court because it is thought
10 be popular is TO be deprecated and
not encouraged by thoughtful, law
abiding citizens

for the statement that the New York

commuter who already knows to the
