CONES OUT FOR FOLK.

Be !. said to the credit Of the Chi
cago Tribune that it has the courage
and patriotism to subordinate party
ism to the, public welfare sufficient
to come squarely out for the election
of Joseph w. Folk, Democratic nom
lnee for governor OF Missouri. In an
editorial headed, Folk Should be
Elected, il says.
If community loves honesty in
politics ii will stand by man who
has proved that that is his creed. 1t
will promote him whenever 0pportuni.
~ occurs. II Ii really desires integ-
rity in the administrator of its af-
fairs ii will not turn cold shoulder
on the man of approved integrity who
has made it plain by sending boodlers
of high and low degree to The peni.
Tertiary that he is an enemy of hood
ling
why should any Missourian who
Is himself honest refuse 10 vote for
Joseph ". Folk and hence refuse. to
encourage honesty? The Republican
may say, My party has nominated
Mr.. Walbridge and he Is an excellent
man Of irreproachable character He.
il elected, will fight boodling. No
loubt of ii. but he could not do it so
effectively as Mr.. Folk, for he has
not had the experience. He does not
know so well the methods OF che hood
iers or how to meet them. The legis
lature assuredly will be Democratic
and governor of that faith will have
more influence. with them than RI
publican executive.
THE governor of Missouri has no
control over national politics. Mr.
Folk IL elected will be quite unable
to change the tariff or the method OF
governing the Philippines. He will
have nothing to do with the CUES
tons which are determined by con
gress and the president. All that Mr.
Folk Dan do If governor Is TO admin
ister the affairs OF the state. TO see
that its laws are enforced and 20 fight
corruption wherever his trained eye
may detect its presence. That he will
do these things admirably no truth
full Missouri Republican will deny.
The defeat in Missouri of a man
who Is con picuous because he is an
anti-corrup.ionist will dishearten
throughout the country all men who
believe that aggressive honesty In
public life should receive a popular
reward II the honest man in politics
tics has no assurance OF an approx
Ing constituency he will get out OF
politics and let the rascals manage
affairs 10 suit themselves"
This Is in such pleasing contrast TO
the partisan littleness Of the St. Lou
Is Globe Democrat. which find moth
ing too mean to say about Mr.. Folk
since he has become the nominee Of
the Democratic party OF Missouri.

CAIRO BANK DEPOSITS.

That Cairo is on a rock of substan.
tial and enduring prosperity is eyi
denced by the statement of the bank
deposits Of the five banking institu-
tons Of the city which appears in an
other column OF This mornings Bulle
tin.
The statement shows that there are
on deposit in the FIVE financial insti-
tutions OF Cairo s3,3e4,G74.S4. an in
crease of nearly half a million dol
lars in the past year. II is doubtful
If there Is another city OF Cairo's
size in the entire country that can
make a similar showing. Certainly
there is none in this section The
deposits exceed by several hundred
thousand dollars those Of the banks
OF Paducah. a larger city than Cairo.
In fact. there are few ci.ies with dou-
bile the population that can make a
better showing.
There Is no surer barometer Of the
business stability. the financial solid
uy OF a city than its bank deposits
They indicate OF once not only the
volume ami growth of business but
the thrift and economy OF the city's
citizenship.
A glance at he figures referred Il
cannot but afford felicitation and
pride. And a very gratifying feature
of the statement IL that the increase
of deposits Is not made al the ex
pense Of one bank over another Eacl
Institution shows a separate and dis
tinct gain. The Cairo National bank

he followed the advice of the much
