FOLK Is CAREFUL
AND CONSERVATIVE.

Referring TO Hon. j. W. Folk as thu
next governor Of Missouri the Moberly
Monitor says:
'sNow that it is conceded that Foil
will be the Democratic nominee fol
Governor, there is much speculation
as to the complexion of the rest Of
the ticket. The Globe Democrat has
published what it calls the slate fol
the Folk ticket. That this ticket il
one OF the Globes dreams would bt
l, apparent even II Mr.. Folk had not sc
branded it.
"Folk is candidate for Governor
and has bis hands full In looking after
bis own interests without attempting
to carry some half dozen men into
Office with him. Even II this were not
the case he would not be around at
tempting TO dictate the rest Of the
ticket.
"Such course would be foreign to
Mr.. Folks nature. His position is
that the people name their own can
didates free from all machine manip
ulation. At Jefferson City 1t will be
the voice Of the people and not Mr.,
Folk which will name the men for the
other State offices.
DOUBTLESS, 1t is Mr.. Folks desire
to see men nominated who are In &C.
cordance with his views and this 1t is
confidently expected will be done by
the people without the suggestion Of
Mr.. Folk. The House and the Senate
should be composed Of men who will
assist Mr.. Folk in putting into opera
tion his views
"Some men have the absurd idea that
Mr.. Folk will be anxious to punish
every body connected with what is
commonly known as the "machine." j"
He is not that kind of a man. There
is nothing revengeful In his nature.
ln what is known as the machine"
are some of MissOuri's best Democrats
who though opposed to Mr.. Folk yet
are highly thought of by the party
and who will be Of material assistance
to Mr.. Folk after his nomination.
Folk isa bigger man than his enc
mics give him credit for being. He is
not narrow minded, vindictive poll
tician but broad guaged Missouri
statesman. Where he finds bad man
in the State machine" he will oppose
him, not through malice but from
priciple and 10 this he will be upheld
by the people.
"Folk is not around making states.
That is policy which the people are
fighting to-day and a policy which
Folk is fighting. He believes in less
states made by the politicians and
more made by the people. 1t is Folks
confidence in the people and their
confidence In him that is making him
an invincible candidate.

nineteen days. That was notable
performance, but 1t did not eclipse q

 Juvenile Asylum.

New York. There is growing up or the banks of the Hudson in the north ern end of this city, ore of the most remarkable and interesting groups o
 buildings in the world, the future hone of the New York JuveniIe asylum When it is completed it vii form an institutional community such as is to he found nowhere else here or 9b- o3d and not only will it put the United Sta ea to the fore in the handling of socioloci- cal problems in which Germany has held pre-eminence until now, but will, it is intended. set the standard fer all kinds of institutional work the wo. Id over.
 There are to be sixty-five separate buildings in the Juvenile asylum's H-- tie village. sheltering a thousand boys and girls from New York's streets. Eff ty of them are cotta Ses, each with ac- conmodation5 for twenty chi,dI en; the others include every feature of a model town except, of course, the shops. The full realization of the plans may TO. come for years, for it was required of the architects, York and Sawyer, of th's city, that the institution should be laid out so as to permit of indefinite expan- sion in building. But enough of the necessary structures are already con- pleted to assure the asylum moving in the late summer from the home on Washington Heights it has occupied for half century to the new home at Echo Hills. near Dobb's Ferry.
 This relocation would have be n ne cessitated soon by the growth of the city even had not the manage msnt found the time right for such an ex> pension of institutional methods as never before has been attempted. When the Juvenile asylum was opened fifty years ago, Washington Heights was far out in the open countryside, tul year by year the city crept nearer un- til its great tide laps about the yards and buildings of the three blocks the refuge occupies. It is to get them away
