Huntsville Herald;
In bis st. LOUIS speech MIR. Folk
says: ~ have appealed the case of
the state of Missouri against the CIV
ers and takers Of brides to the peo-
ple-the hignes' tribunal of the COM
mon wealth. The case must be de-
cided by the people one way or the
other. The issue is made and cannot
be h%onoradly evaded or escaped. "
That is a shot, no doubt, thrust at u
supreme court Because Folk has
not drawn up a single indictment 10
the Doodle cases that has thus far
stood the test Of the law, he wants to
throw the blame off himself INTO others
and asks to ''appeal the case'' to the
people. Il Judge CAN'T was a
d~emagogue be would have written a
dissenting opinion 10 the Doodle cases
and would now be bowling, al have
appealed the bribery cases to the peo-
pie" But Judge CAN'T has never yet
played the demagOgue for Office or
anything elee and never will. The
supreme court has reversed many
criminal cases aud no one but Folk
has ever came forward and wanted to
"appesp the case to the people
The court recently reversed the Bon
ner forgery case and turned the pris-
oDer loose Forgery is a crime
against the state as we'll as bribery
Why not raise a howl over this case
end ''appeal il" to the people, Folk
lays i: down that corruption is the
issue, aud Of course Folk is the only
candidate that can expose and punish
it.
/ The potato planter of today would

Il picks the potato up and looks j
over or seems to-cuts it into halves
, quarters or any desired number o
parts, separates he eyeI and remove
the seed ends. 1t plants whole pota
toes or parts thereof, as desired, a
near togel her or as far apart as thl
judgement Of the farmer on the drivln,
part suggests. Having dropped the
seed it covers it, fertIlizes it, tucks I
in ike a child put to bed, and pace
e off the nexl row with mathematics
