FIR. FOLK, OF ST. LOUIS.

Mr.. Joseph Folk. the prosecuting attor-
ney of the city of St. Louis. who has
been so successful in getting boodlers
convicted in the St, Louis courts, has
thereby made reputation that seems
destined to land him In some high office
whether he wants to enter the pilitlcal
arena or not.
1t is said that Mr.. Folk Is not politically
ambitious, that he loves his profession,
wants TO stick to it. and is satisfied with
the glory that his success in hunting
down boodlers has brought to him, But
in spite of all this, the Mssourians are
determined to make him Governor of the
State, There is a sentiment among some
Democrats in favor Of making him their
candidate for the governorship and the
Republicans are saying. or some OF them
are. that II the Democrats do not take
up Mr., Folk and make him Governor
they will although he is sound Demo
crat in politics.
But Mr., Folk has been spoken of for
stll higher honors, and there are those
who believe that 1t is not impossible TO
work up for him successful boom for
the Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency of the United States, This all
sounds very we'll for Mr.. Folk, and mus,
| be pleasing TO him. but be 1t remembered
that Mr.. Folk was never heard OF outside
of 81. Louis until the investigations and
! trials OF ofticlal thieves in that city
