ties of the people would be undermined.
OfCill corruption is more dangerous
than other crimes, for 1t strikes at the
foundation OF all law. The inevitable
cost Of corruption Is the decay Of the
government where 1t is tolerated. This
has been SO In all the worlds history.
The position that some take in refer
euce to hoodlins, reminds one of the
old darkcy who said about the COM
mandments: Yes, preacher, they are
right, bur in this here neighborhOoi
the eighth commandment ought to be
taught with some distractions, The
command. Thou shalt not steal, i'd
m;s Of no exceptions There eau be
no compromise with public plundererS
unrelentins exposure and punishment
Is the only honorable course. Public
corruption can not be stamped out by
gentle methods II must be hit hard
whenever and wherever 1t shows itself,
Any paudcriug TO Doodle influences
must be discOuntenanced by an honest
citizenship.
The curruptionists are strong. Let
us not deCeivcs ourselves in
that point They are resourceful
and will resort To every means to give
themselves further opportunity. They
are well organized but they are OPP

Missouri do not plead with corrup-
